My favourite products, February 2017

I'm very happy with the way my skin look by using this oil. I not only apply in the night, but also use a bit in the morning too.



My Valentine gift this year from my boyfriend, a classic red rose and J'adore L'absolu. Definitely my favourite sent besides Elie Saab Le parfum and Dolce& Gabbana Dolce. I so love it, thank you ♡

My favourite products

L’Occitane is my favorite brand of all time, I have been liking their products for long time. From the packaging to scent, they are awesome. I remember years ago when I saved my money to buy the hand cream for winter or a shower gel, I felt very happy. 

Aromachologie Rebalancing Exfoliating Shower Gel

I bought this and used after a long and tired day of working, it smells very relaxing and calming. 

This is the Christmas gift from my friend last year. From left to right: pivoine flora, rose 4  reines, cherry blossom, amande. I have used the first three, except the almond one. Last but not least is verbena shower gel, my favorite which i don't have the picture here.

Shiseido BIO-PERFORMANCE Advanced Super Restoring Cream

My skin has been improved much after this, but it is a thick cream so best use is in the night before going to sleep. I wouldn’t use before makeup.
Sense Fluid Finish Foundation in the shade FF102 Soft ivory 

I love this foundation. Firstly, it suits my skin color very well. Secondly, it has a light/medium coverage, which makes me feel I had put nothing on my skin. Thirdly, it’s easy to apply which creates a smooth finish.

Free days at home

When I have free days from work, I’m looking forward to do nothing but rest and chilled out so I can get my energy back. 

What do i do to rewind? Here is the list of things I usually do to rewind myself:

1. I want to have a bathtub where I can immerse myself in warm water while listening to music (or not listening to music) with some lighted candles near by to create spa ambience. Unfortunately, I don't have a bathtub so I have to go with normal shower. One day, I tried to bring a candle to the bathroom and turned off the light but it was so dark so I ended up turning the light on and still keep the lit candles. It’s fine! The purpose is: to take a long shower, feel super clean and refresh
2. Put cream on my face and do a massage. It really makes me feel relaxed.
3. Put my feet in salted water. I have 2 bottles of foot soak: one is peppermint and another is lemon. To be honest, I feel lazy to do this sometimes except when I came to my boyfriend’s place, he brought a bucket of warm water with sea salt for me, the only thing I did was to put my feet in. How lucky I am!
4. Make some delicious meal.
5. Listening to music.
6. Do some short and simple yoga exercises.
7. Read books, news or watch movie on Netflix. In my case, sometimes I was browsing Internet very long, sometimes I spent whole night watching series on Netflix. Books: I only read what I found interesting.  

I like to clean my apartment, my mind is clear when things are clean and organized even though it’s hard to achieve it sometimes but I try whenever I can. And of course do laundry.

I believe plants and flowers bring positive energy. Those are flowers and plant my boyfriend and my friend gave me. I feel happy when I look at them, they just brighten a corner of my kitchen. 

Kalanchoe or tulilatva in Finnish

Flamingo flower, in Finnish also flamingokukka

As a fan of moisturizers, I rarely do makeup or make up very lightly but moisturizer is a must for me, I want to feel my skin super hydrated. My favorite moisturizer is Kiehl’s which I bought in Stockman in Hullut päivät (crazy days) occasion and I love it, I used it up very quickly.  

Kiehl’s ultra facial cream, perfect for my winter dry skin
