Travel: London citytrip VLOG

London Citytrip Tower Bridge

Hi loves,

As some of you might know I have been on a London Citytrip the second weekend of 2017, because what better way to start the new year?! Well, without 4 hours delay and the #TubeStrikes of course haha. Our trip did not really go as planned and we saw less than we wanted to see, still we had a bunch of fun, had some successful shopping moments and most importantly, we laughed – A LOT! 🙂

Check out my London Citytrip vlog and the photos of this trip after the read more button! I hope you will like it and I can’t wait to tell you about the fabulous two hotels we stayed at; CitizenM Tower of London and the Mandeville Hotel!

Baci,
Saranda

Beauty: Favorite winter beauty products and my routine

December 4, 2016

favorite-winter-beauty-products

Happy Sunday loves!

Today I want to share my favorite beauty products for winter with you all.
Skincare is so important to me, especially in winter! My skin can be a mess if I use products that are to rich for my skin and it can get dry if I do not hydrate well enough. I think I’m probably not the only one with this problem and that’s why I am sharing this today.

Besides skincare products I also decided to share some of my favorite make-up products. The items above are some of the beauty products that I use daily or a lot. Of course I have way more favorites but it would become a very long list to share!

Check out a little bit of extra information and where to buy after the read more button! Maybe you can make someone very happy with one of these products as a Christmas or late-Sinterklaas gift! 🙂

Baci,

Train of thoughts: Winter is coming

November 30, 2016

train of thoughts winter is coming

Hi babes,

November flew by really fast. Can you believe that it is December already?! I just started working at my new job and already 3 weeks have past. I have done a lot of different things already and it’s amazing that I am learning new things again! When I noticed the time is ticking so fast I started thinking, winter is coming.

All this while I am still editing and having to post outfits that are perfect for fall but not at all suitable for the ice cold winter. Whoops. I really noticed that having an almost fulltime job gives me a lot of structure and security. But on the other hand I have no idea what happens to my free time haha. My first real weekend ended before I even had the chance to do something for myself or the blog and the same goes for my evenings. I figured that a good planning is everything when combining a job, a blog and a social life haha. So that is actually what I am doing right now, figuring out how to combine everything in a way that I’ll still have me-time as well! I feel like it is already going a bit better with managing my time 🙂

Another thing that is unfortunately keeping my busy is my health… It started about a month ago, my cluster period. The period in which I am having a sort of tension headache everyday and immense “shoot me” headache attacks once every two days. In the former years it also was waved away a bit but this year I went to the doctors again. I just started with trying out imigran nosesprays and had two acupuncture meetings so far. I feel like it does help a bit so far but I am a bit sceptical and I don’t want to get to hopeful yet. Should you have any tips or tricks for me to deal with my headaches please let me know…

Winter is coming

So with December here and winter on it’s way I’m very much looking forward to the holidays and to New Years Eve! I also can’t wait for 2017, after years where I am telling myself it’s going to be my year, this year I am absolutely sure it’s going to be my year! I love my career, the blog is going pretty good and I am in such a good please. It sometimes feels to good to be true and I feel so blessed!

What are you up to this month? Feel free to share your train of thoughts in the comments.

Saturday night drinks: INK Hotel cocktail challenge

November 26, 2016

inkhotel-cocktail-challenge-saturday-night-drinks4

Hello loves,

With the cold wind outside it’s the perfect moment to tell you about a cocktail challenge I had a while ago! In collaboration with INK hotel Amsterdam and their bar Pressroom Amsterdam (which is located in a very old former printing office) I took on the big challenge to create the perfect fall / winter cocktail. The task? Using a secret wintery ingredient. Well I’ll just be honest, my mind instantly screamed: APPLE PIE! And so here it is, my cocktail, the DiSaranda Originale, a Disaronno Apple Pie cocktail.

First step when you are creating your own cocktail? Figuring out which liquors go well together and how you want your cocktail to look and taste. So I went on a little inspiration trip through google, my cocktail books and my liquor collection.

Before I’ll start I am going to be completely honest with you. I don’t drink a lot and I don’t drink often but I always love a good cocktail, or 2, or 3. Having a drink is no problem and it can be the best thing sometimes to just kick back and enjoy a good glass of wine or a cocktail. However, always drink responsible and if you ever feel like you might have a drinking problem, talk to someone and get help.

Baci,
Saranda

Lifestyle: Sudio Sweden earphones

October 31, 2016

Sudio Sweden

Happy Monday babes!

I have always been a huge music lover, from R&B to Hard rock and Hardcore. I have listened to many different music styles and at times I can still enjoy more alternative music styles! Being a huge music lover as me I’m always looking for the best possible sound quality when it comes to headphones and earphones!

A couple of years ago I actually won a Sennheiser headphones at a blogger event. They are my absolute favourite so far, especially for longer trips! However the headphones are pretty big and they are not wireless! So when I got the chance to try out these wireless earphones by Sudio Sweden I was super curious! Will these earphones be my new go to ones?

By now I have been able to try them out for a couple of weeks and the earphones came at exactly the right time! I could even listen to my favourite songs while driving on my Peugeot Django Scooter! The sound quality is very good for a wireless connection, the buttons are easy to operate, the battery lasts very long and I am loving the look of these earphones as well. Did you see the little rosé gold details?!
