How to rescue a nice dress..

So I found this pretty dress I once bought in ZARA and I thought that this colour is so much like spring and it would be a nice thing to wear when spring finally comes and will be warmer!

But there is one problem with it, which makes some people throw things away or just placing them into categories 'to wear at home'. It has some patches with some knits or naps. So here is one magic thing that can rescue your thing:

So here is this tool called 'lint remover' which will make your clothes look new and unworn again. You can purchase it from Amazon for as less as £5, and it worth the money, as you know some clothes are hard to say goodbye to :)

Here is the result and I am happy to restore my green dress to rock&roll in it when the warmer times finally come! Can't wait :)

What's in my mum's skin care cupboard & Review of Dr. Nona Cosmetics

So you know how it is - when you come back home for Holidays, you always get to explore and share in some 'mum and daughter' chats what cosmetics are good and what is worth trying. My mum is not the biggest fan of makeup and skincare, as generally she has very nice skin and just tends to avoid heavy makeup. But anyway, it is never that a woman is completely indifferent to beauty products (at least i don't know any who are..) and if she is, I think she should change an attitude, cause it kind of women's magic tool that can only make already beautiful stunning.. I don't know who, but someone said : 'There are no ugly women, just lazy ones'


But it is getting too long for an intro. I am going to talk about the Israel cosmetics, which I assume are sold all over the world, however I am not too sure whether you can purchase it from a local drugstore or have to go online.

Dynamic Cream 49€ Eye contour cream 57€ Night cream 43€ (I know..)

OH MY God, ladies and gentlemen this stuff is totally amazing! I was always very critical about it, cause my mum is quite obsessed and it is quite of an expensive treat, however now when I've tried it and read the ingredients and researched a little bit about the woman herself I softened up a little bit, and after two nights of using this product I am really happy with the results.

Major thing that really attracts me is that they use all the nutritional combination of the herbs from all over the world and also Dead Sea Salt, which is amazing. Secondly (i know that personal stories are used for the better marketing), the woman herself is quite impressing and is of a role model - she overcame cancer and her medical practices are aimed to help people fight life threatening diseases.

1. Dynamic Cream - as long as I can remember myself, my mum used this thing as a magical healing stuff: you have running nose - put it inside, you have a spot put a bit on, your skin is dry - use it as well. It is of a very rich nature cream, that does not have a particularly pleasant smell (more of something that is supposed to heal you) and it is very multi-purpose as you already know. It can be used as an amazing moisturizer - when I have applied it on my face in the morning you have a bit stretchy feeling (as if you put a mask) and like it really makes your skin work.

2. Eye contour Balm - it is probably the best out of all of them. I can't say that I have some serious dark circles or wrinkles, but occasionally when I am tired my eyes will immediately inform everyone around.. That is actually how I got to try out these cremes as when I came back from England, my mum said that I do look tired and I have some circles. So I used it once, and then more, and I think that she will have to share with this expensive stuff now :D I like that it is very rich and at the same time it does not irritate my quite sensitive skin. The packaging is stunning and it has very convenient pump like that

   

3. Finally, Night cream - it is good if you have a little bit dry skin or some dry patches. I have normal skin, with some areas particularly dry, and i still used it all over my face. It is important though that you cleanse your face properly before applying it, well actually this works with any night cream. I noticed that in the morning skin does not feel still greasy (as some of those that I've tried), bit just leaves it soft.

There are many more products this company offers, but these three are personal winners! If interested go to http://drnona.us - it US website, but if you Google it you can enter your country one.

I will be talking quite a lot here about skin care based on the Dead Sea Salt, as I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Have you ever been to Dead Sea or tried some of the cosmetics that are produced with the ingredients from the Dead Sea?

Holidays, Home and Passover

As it is the time of Easter Holidays, I went back home to Tallinn. Surprisingly, it is warmer than in Leicester (geographical note - Estonia has much colder climate, BUT against stereotypes it DOES NOT snow all year round :D) and I enjoy the sunshine of spring that is fighting with this forever-lasting winter. I came back yesterday and just in time for the Celebration of Passover.

As you see I got to eat some delicious traditional Jewish food as gefilte fish - it such fish (as you could guess) dish, made of mixture of the poached fish.

I have mixed feelings about this celebration. It is quite of a BIG DEAL one as it commemorates the liberation of Jewish people from the ancient Egyptian slavery. I am assuming that this story is quite of a well-know for every one as most of the people are familiar with Moses and 10 plagues of Egypt. The moment when Bruce Almighty splits the soup is an echo of the events when Moses freed his people from the slavery in Egypt by splitting the Red sea. Bad comparison, however quite descriptive.

So here is what I like about this celebrations:
- It is a family Celebration, so everyone gathers together around the table and it always feels great

- It has a special order. This Passover (Pesah) meal is called in Hebrew Pesah Seder and it means order. Therefore there are special steps of the process of meal. This makes you even hungrier and everyone wait till the last step when you can eat everything. 

- Food lies on the plate also in a special order,and every product symbolises specific thing -  and I love to put it nicely :)

- Me and my mum always sing some traditional songs

However there are some not that pleasant parts of it:

- It lasts for 7 days, and all these days NO BREAD is allowed, to be more precise no wheat or flour. And i Love all the pastries and cookies, and... oh, it makes my belly cry. On the plus side - it is a good and not too strict diet. Why is that? - you will ask, apparently when Jewish people left the Egypt, they had no time to wait for the dough to rise and left with no bread at all, they were eating what now is called Matza - flat unleavened bread. 

So now you have some general picture of this celebration. To describe the whole order would take me good few pages, so i guess that this one will just give you an overview.

Happy Passover, everyone!

The very first one..

It is here my first ever post and I am very excited!

I am obviously not claiming to be Armstrong and probably not going to walk the moon, however I do want to talk about the small steps that i do and things that make me happy and motivate to do them.

So a little bit of the background here: 

I am originally from Tallinn, and I moved to England (Leicester) for University. So I have changed not only the sides of the road, but also had to purchase a pair of wellies, big umbrella and all the English weather accessories :) 

Now I am about to finish my University life (as soon as I finish with my masterpiece dissertation and midsummer exam - can't wait) I will be entering a proper adult life!

I am 20 years old and I think it is the age when I can objectively evaluate, recommend, describe and experience. That is why I decided to start a blog to share my thoughts, my interests and traditions, maybe even tell something i know about my culture, religion and lifestyle.

So generally i just want to have fun and experience this blogging experience, so wish me luck and fingers crossed it will go well xx
