NAK To Brighten Your Locks

February 23, 2016 • hair care review

You know those times, you buy something randomly without any background information or knowledge of the product. And after you get to use the 'unknown products', you absolutely adore them! These two particular hair products are the items I picked up without any intention... other than I just needed a bottle of purple toning shampoo. The other purple tube just magically came with me.

NAK Blonde Plus Shampoo is literally amazing and best purple shampoo I have tried so far. It isn't just good for keeping away those brassy tones, but it also takes care of the blonde strands like nobody's business. Many times we tend to be afraid of using purple shampoos too often, because of the drying effect on hair. Creamy texture of this shampoo feels so gentle while delivering cooler hues to hair. Its carefully mixed formula is made of blue and violet pigments that do not leave your blonde grey, rather nice buttery blonde we all want. Re-mineralising and fortifying properties make sure not to damage hair shaft and to protect the hair from further styling, including heat you might put in your hair afterwards. Lovely light floral scent makes it pleasure to use and you can be certain, your hair will feel in a better condition after rinsing it off than it felt before.

NAK Blonde Leave-In Moisturiser felt like right option to choose since I wanted something that I can leave into my hair and will be richer than usual liquidy serums. Huge bonus, it will keep correcting your hair shade while working on its texture and condition. I usually apply a dollop of product into my towel dry hair right before combing it through. It makes it untangled, smooth and smelling beautiful. Even the driest, most porous hair ends will be smooth, moisturised and looks healthier. As you can see, the pigments in this one are much more lighter and you don't need to be afraid of your hair turning too cool or purple. The toning effects with this one are very delicate and gentle. For me, it just makes a perfect leave-in product... whenever I use it, I don't need any other product at all. This does it all: protecting, smoothing, moisturising, styling, softening! I am hooked with it!

Too Much Jewellery?

Many people understand that too much jewellery is a major fashion mistake; in fact, it may be in the top of the list of fashion errors. It seems at times that some people simply don't know when to stop. Jewellery is a great thing because it can make an outfit stand out, or highlight your natural features. But when is too much? This post aims to answer that question once and for all.

Wearing too much jewellery is an overwhelming experience to those that see you. It creates too much distraction from you, your clothing and yes, even the jewellery itself. Strive to make yourself the center of everyone's attention, not your amount of jewellery.

Remember: jewellery is an accessory, and a little goes a long way. Think of what Coco Chanel had famously to say about the matter: "Before you leave the house, take one thing off." Take this advice if you're in the habit of wearing a dozen “things.”

Here's another important piece of advice. Sometimes jewellery isn't necessary. Many times women will wear a necklace or bracelet when there is no need and then even that simple amount of jewellery can be overkill. Plan your style carefully and consider if the jewellery will accent your outfit or detract.

The most important time to skip a necklace is when many women feel is the best time to wear one: when you're wearing a low-cut dress or halter top. These outfits already reveal a great deal of your collarbone, neck and chest. Don't draw too much attention and cheapen your look by wearing a necklace; the clothing is enough and can stand by itself. Usually an attention-grabbing pair of earrings will do in these circumstances.

Another situation to watch out for is this: wearing large earrings with a necklace. Balance is very important to create the right look and this is one of the reasons too much jewellery is a no-no. You wouldn't ever pair dark lipstick with dark eye makeup; don't make the same mistake with jewellery. Let your clothing and self be the center of attention.

In summary, balance should always be kept in mind to avoid wearing too much accessories. Think about this when you're getting ready to go out. Also, make sure it's you that shines through, not your choice of over-the-top necklace. Above all else, jewellery should be thought of as an accent. Use it sparingly and you'll wind up looking your best.

Honestly Outspoken Beauty

February 01, 2016 • body care estonian hair care organic review

Another great Estonian company that creates amazingly pure and natural cosmetics - Moshi right in front of you. But not just 'every other' Estonian company, because Moshi is quite special. It draws attention, brings out emotions, is honestly outspoken yet really affordable. All the bottles of Moshi's products are carrying simple labels with different statements - you can easily find the one that goes by your heart the most or get yourself surprised by having the random one that will inspire you whenever you walk into your bathroom. Moshi states produly: we don't offer colourful pictures or synthetic ingredients. Too good to be true? Not at all!

I picked out two quite different products to write my first post about this sleek yet simple creator of natural beauty. One bottle holds dreamy goodness of softest body scrub and the other brings all the joy to the strands that are in need of a good moisture kick.

Sugary body scrub has been infused with wild mango and the scent of it feels just like walking under the mango trees. You can expect this scrub to nourish and deep condition your skin while gently sloughing off all the dead skin. Sea buckthorn oil along with sesame oil and olive oil, enriched with vitamins, will leave even the driest body silky smooth. Whenever I am using it, I like to take my time and rub it all over my body as long as sugar starts to melt and all the good oils get decent time to absorb into my skin.

Deeply nourishing hair oil ties together coconut oil, avocado oil, lavender and geranium - very simple, yet effective and without any unnecessary fillers that keep the actual goodness away from your hair shaft. This oil is slightly green in colour, due to deeply moisturising rich avocado oil and smells very relaxing due to essential oils of lavender and geranium. Dollop of added natural essential oils will also keep your scalp healthy and on its best behaviour!

Usage of this hair oil is quite similar like you would do with any other hair treatment oils: you can use small amount as a leave-in hair serum on damp ends or you can distribute good amount of oil through the hair and scalp as a pre shampoo treatment. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes (2 forgetful hours in my case) and after washing it off, take your time to admire the softness of your strands.

Bonus tip: use on dry hair as a serum, small amount rubbed between palms will tame away any frizziness or fly-aways. It will also keep your usually dry curls soft and smelling good.

Snacks With Power

January 14, 2016 • estonian health miscellaneous

very often delicious snacks aren't that good for your health. Foodpower mixed deliciousness with healthiness together and came up with variety of raw food snacks to anybody's taste. Everything they make is handmade, with quality ingredients and raw. Therefore it contains lots of powerful ingredients that haven't been processed and are ready to go into your body. As Foodpower's taste selection is wide I jumped right into it and tried many, many snacks in a period of time. Now I have picked out three of my favourites with desire to introduce them to you. One of these beautiful red glossy packages holds salty raw snacks and two reveal sweet berry snacks.

Being little bit doubtful at first I didn't expect any of these to be amazingly tasty or something I would eat regularly. Raw, having shortest ingredients list ever (garlic snacks contain flax seeds, cabbage, tomato, garlic, onions and natural seasoning) made me curious, but not sure if it would be something I would enjoy.

And I was certainly surprised! As I adore saltier snacks over the sweet ones I absolutely adore these Foodpower garlic snacks. They have just the right amount of taste and crunch to them, taste of garlic isn't overpowering and while eating you can absolutely forget it contains cabbage or flax seeds. It tastes like any good high quality chips if not even better. Meanwhile you can be confident as you know flax seeds along with other ingredients are healthy, good for metabolism and overall wellbeing. And dollop of garlic will keep those winter time colds and viruses away. Definitely worth having again!

On the sweeter note! I also had blackcurrant roll-ups and blueberry buttons - both seem very similar, yet very different when you taste or even look at them. Roll-ups contain only three ingredients: berries, banana and vanilla. Slight taste of banana kicks in at first, then you can feel the actual taste of berries in a soft texture of the melting fruit roll. It reminded me so much of a real blackcurrants and it was amazing to get the taste of it in your mouth in the middle of the winter.

Buttons on the other hand would suit to the persons who like sweets, but don't want to eat unhealthy while enjoying sugary snacks. These are made of whipped egg whites and real berries along with unrefined sugar. Although it contains sugar, containing 50% of real berries taste didn't feel artificial or too sugary at all. Meringue-like texture gives you the feeling of a guilty pleasure, but after you have finished the package you have the strong aftertaste of berries in your mouth.

If your daily food lacks of good fibre, vitamins, enzymes, minerals along with other powerful ingredients and you can't bring yourself to snacking on fruits or vegetables, these are definitely treats you can munch on without feeling bad or guilty.
