Sometimes it happens that I study for hours and hours without making any pause, and then I realize that I’m lite rally starving for some food. Well, I usually starve for sweets and desserts and that was the case when I decided to have a break with some crepes.
I love crepes: it’s the easiest thing on the world to cook (beside tea, obviously lol) and you can fill them with almost
everything.
Here’s my recipe for 6-8 crepes:
- 140g of flour
- A glass of milk
- 2 eggs
- The point of a teaspoon of salt
- The point of a teaspoon of sugar
- A bit of butter if you’re going to fill them with sweet things
You just need to mix all the ingredients and then let it rest for at least an hour.
In the pictures above I decided to fill them with Nutella and banana slices, and then I dusted a bit of coconut flour on top of everything. It was so yummy!!!
How do you like your crepes? Tell me in the comments, maybe I can get inspired from you :D

I LOVE SOUPS.
If I had to decide among the most delicious dishes you can think of and a bowl of soup, I’ll pick the soup. Maybe I’ll change my mind for some Chinese or Mexican food, but I’d seriously eat soups every single day both for lunch and dinner.
I eat almost every kind of soup and I like to switch them in order to get the most healthy and various nutritional benefits from
vegetables. Soups are not difficult to make on your own with fresh food, but most of the times those fresh aliments need to be cooked for a lot of time, so sometimes it’s just more simple to buy something already washed and sliced that you only need to throw in a casserole full of water.
Anyways, the pictures you see above are from my dinner yesterday.
The soup you see is made with: barley, spelt, white and pink beans, peas, lentils, chick-peas, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and as regards spices I added fennel leaves, chives, salt, hot pepper and a liiiiiitle bit ov extra virgin olive oil once the soup was on the dish (and not while it was still cooking) so that it results lighter.
I also added some bread crouton, but I didn’t put too many slices of bread because this particular soup had already all the cereals you need to eat, so it hadn’t no sense adding more.
And what about you? Do you like soups? How do you cook them?

Ok, now I have spent all my budget so I can’t buy any more things. BUT! I still have a lot of new things to show you!
If you follow me you would probably know that I usually make a lot of reviews and manicure posts, but this is an exam period at university and I really don’t have that much of a time to focus on write something properly. But sometimes I need to go out and splurge on
something, just because shopping helps my mood lol.
Anyways, when I went to Sephora I wanted to buy something for my eye area, as I’m running out of my YSL Top Secrets Soin Defatiguant Yeux (an eye cream which I’m going to review soon, I just need to translate the post!) and I found some interesting sale offers.
At first, I wanted to try something from Clinique, but then I saw that the Yes To Carrots and Cucumbers line were on sale and I preferred those products because they are all natural.
So I bought:
- A back up of my beloved waterproof make up remover from Sephora, 7€
- A creamy make up remover from Yes To Carrots for 5€ (it was originally 12€). I bought it because I don’t use the one from Sephora on my face, because it is oil-based and I have oily skin. So I decided to try this out!
- Yes To Cucumbers Shooting Eye Gel, it was 10€ (but originally it was 17,50€).
I’ll try the two Yes To product for the next months and then I’ll let you know what I think about them! Let me know if you have ever tried one of those :D

I always loved those outfits which feature a long shirt and a pair of particular leggings, especially if those leggins have a leather look.
I've been looking for a pair of those leggings for a while now, but I couldn't find a style that really satisfied me completely: the ones that I found looked like plastic garbage bags, and those that were gorgeous to me, were way too expensive to be a
pair of leggins.
I found at Calzedonia, which is an Italian brand that makes all kind of socking and swim suits, this pair which are only half leather looking and costed 19,90€ (but now they are in sale for 50% off...); on the back the fabric is just cotton, while on the front you can see the actual detailing of it.
I don't think they're too much, obviously they give adifferent impression when you see them in these pictures than if you saw them featured in an outfit.
I'll definitely post an outfit which includes these leggings, I want to know what you think!
For now, I just wanna ask you if you like them and how would you wear them! I'm curious :D

Hi guys! This is the third part of my massive sale haul! I haven't too many things to say about this haul so let's get into the two items that I'm featuring in this post.
- Leopard blouse from Promod: this was a real STEAL! It was 70% off its original price, and I paid 8€ for it! It was an amazing deal to me. Unfortunately, it was the very last piece they had and the size is an L (I'm
usually an S or XS!) but I decided to try it on anyways. I like the way it fits actually: it is very large on my body, and I can wear it with a nice pair of super-skinny jeans in order to make a nice contrast or I can either wear it off the shoulder. Plus, it's leopard printed, and I've been wanting something with this print since ages!
- The second picture shows you a pair of shorts that I got from Tally Wejil for 8€. This is my pair of shorts and I was kinda... Scared, I guess, just because I don't know how this piece of clothing should fit. Anyways, as the price was so inexpensive I decided to try to wear them. The color is a charcoal grey and there is a sort of braided belt.
And that's all for now! I don't know if I have some other things to show you as regards clothing, but I have for sure some beauty stuff haul coming! So if you're interested in those kind of hauls, follow me and stay tuned :D

Here I am with another collective haul! This is some of the clothing that I received last Christmas, and basically I'm showing you what I liked the most.
First of all there's that gorgeous purple dress that my mom gifted to me. It is from the brand Disegual and it must have been very expensive - luv ya mom!
What I like about it is that it mixes different style. It's casual with a little bit
of hippie style to it, which I love, it's totally me.
The there is that burgundy belt, which was gift from my mom too. I like both the style and the color of it, but I don't like the fact that it is made of real leather. I haven't found the courage to wear it yet...
Then... Well, the last two pictures are of gifts that my cousin made me, and both are underwear. In one I only show you the back detailing of a thong, I don't think it is convenient to show also the rest of it... lol
In the last picture you can see a set of bra and panties which are not my style, but my cousin bought me for a specific purpose: we both have a "lack of material" as regards the breast area, and that bra is a double push up. Yes: a push up with twice of its power, I need that lol Then she bought me those panties too just to coordinate them with the bra.
And that's all for my Christmas clothing haul! I hope you don't mind those underwear pictures, but hey! Everyone wears underwear.
I hope you enjoyed the post, I'll see you soon :D

I have already made the review for this Kiko Ultratech Mascara, so check this post if you want to read all my opinions about it.
In this post I want to show you which is the result of this mascara on my lashes, and that's why I'll try to include as much pictures as I can, including one of the mascara, one of the wand and one of my bare lashes.
As you can see, it gives me length and a nice
amount of volume, but it doesn't curl my lashes that much (you can see it in the picture where I have my eye half-closed).
I really like this mascara and I hope that from these bad quality pictures you can understand why I love it.
I hope you enjoyed this post!

This is the second part of my massive haul. If you have red the first post, you should know that I decided to divide these posts according to the brand. In this particular one I'm posting all the stuff that I got from H&M lately! Unfortunately, nothing was on sale yet, but I still think that the prices were decent.
- Golden metal skirt, around 17€. I literally fell in love with this skirt,
it's just so unusual! And even if it looks over the top, I think that if I wear something black with it the result won't be as harsh as it may look.
- Black denim skirt, around 10€. I just liked the fact that it is simple (maybe because it complements the golden one lol). Moreover, it was cheap so I thought why not? You always need skirts, don't you?
- Coordinated red lace lingerie, around 15€. Women always need some more lingerie! H&M has not the best quality, I have to admit that, but I don't spend more than 30€ on underwear stuff, it's just my philosophy. Moreover, you can always change, which is always fun ;)
I'm sorry about the second pictures, it looks like that skirt had just received its Divine Call, I don't know why. And I'm also sorry about the prices, but I always throw away price tags and I don't remember the exact amount of everything.
Anyways, I hope you like what I got, see you soon with the next haul!

Finally the sale season has come!! I have a bunch of stuff to show you, but as I always have problems uploading too many photos in my posts I decided to split the reviews dividing them according to the brand. So here's my New Yorker haul! I love this shop, I always find great things for great prices :D
I bought:
-A pinkish shirt with an optical design for 8,99€, which reminds me of the
hippy style.
- A brown jacket made of faux leather (I don't wear real leather clothes). I just liked the fact that its style is of an elegant jacket. Moreover, its original price was 50€ and I bought it for 15€!!
- A pair of jeans. I always buy a new pair of jeans when I go shopping! This is a classic 5 pocket style with dark wash. I payed them 20€ while the original price was 40€.
And that's all for my New Yorker haul! If you like this kind of post stay tuned because I still have a lot of new things to show you :D

I bought this Kiko Ultratech mascara while it was on sale for 3,90€, but normalli its price is of 7,20€ which still is a reasonable price. I bought the original version, but you can also find the waterproof one for the same price,
Its consistency was a little bit watery when I first opened it, but in something like two weeks it normalized and now the product has the perfect consistency:
not to liquid, not too clumpy.
The brush applicator is made of a flexible elastomer. I'd like to spend some more words about this brush because it has surprised me in a good way. My eyes are usually bothered from this kind of brushes: they're scratchy everywhere and they always prickle my lids. Nothing like these have happened with this particular one: it feels comfy and extremely practical to me, I couldn't have asked something better. A thing that I find interesting is the fact that the bristles are all very short and dense except for a single line, who has a tiny comb with long and spread bristles. This means that the short ones gives a lot of volume and length while the long ones define your lashes and/or take away clumps (which are very rare with this mascara).
In my opinion it has passed my exam with honor!
The removal part is very easy: I take everything off in something like two minutes with my waterproof make up remover from Sehpora.
The results are long, voluminous and black lashes which you can leave "wild" or comb for a more sophisticated look if you prefer.
If I had to tell you something that I didn't like, I'd tell you that it doesn't give that much of a curl, so if you think that curled lashes are a must, you'd need to use an eyelash curler first.
Summing up, I highly recommend it! Kiko is an Italian brand which can be found in some part of Europe, so I know that you international ladies could have hard times finding it. But if you will ever stop by a Kiko store, please check it out and you won't be disappointed, I promise! ;)
All the picture regarding this mascara are above, and I apologize for their quality, as always...
I hope you can find it interesting anyways, and if you do stay tuned because you'll see the demonstration on my lashes soon ;)
