My Handmade 2017 Agenda from Berlin ♡

I am very picky when it comes to buying an agenda for the year.

I originally wanted to get a Ban.do agenda, but then I wanted something

unique and different from the majority, so I found this lovely seller on Etsy.

The shop name is called, waitingforadreamer ♡

The weekly agenda is under a project called, STUDIENMATERIAL.

I picked the 'Alice & Black Crown design'. It's lovely!

The agenda is quite small, but it's the perfect size for me.

The package came in about 3/4 days! It also came with an illustrated postcard.

Some people had complaints about the type of paper used, but I like it.

It feels nice and sturdy. It has a smooth texture, which may not work well

with some pens (they might smudge), but if you have a nice, thin inked pen,

it should work fine. It actually kind of makes the ink stand out more.

I have to say that this is not a very practical planner.

Some of the dates are covered with illustrations, making it impossible

to actually write on. But it has lovely illustrations and quotes. It's a nice

agenda for someone who just jots down weekly plans and special dates.

The illustrations are from different artists. There is a list of them on the back.

Eduard Belky (Ukrainian), Kaija Burlina (Ukrainian), Alessandro Cemolin (Italian).

Then the main designers are Anastasia Klerig and Anna Klerig :)

I love this cute, little agenda. It reminds me of when I used to do editorial design!

I am definitely inspired to create my own agenda for next year :p

This is the back cover. Lovely :)

Favourite May Etsy Finds ♡

I just wanted to share some of my favourite shops on Etsy!
I think I might do this monthly :p

Handmade backpacks by FYMwear
They are approx. $80-85

These backpacks are so lovely! I love the floral one ♡
Their backpacks are named after different European countries :)
The one on the left is "Finland" and the right is "Holland" (which should be Netherlands lol)

I'm sure some of you know Kani from K is for Kani (her blog) :)
but she also makes beautiful floral head accessories :)
k is for kani Her accessories are about $32+

I think the price is putting me off...
There are other sellers who make similar head pieces as well,
but they're not as intricate/beautiful to look at :)

BagyBags handmade bags/backpacks

These are so cute! They have a laptop compartment too, but it's not really padded >>
They are approx. $95. They also sell totes and other bags for $40+

Illuminated Perfume sells... yep, you guessed it :) perfume!
But what's so special? the reusable locket packaging! :)
They are eco-friendly/natural perfumes :)

They are approx. $85, but they also sell samples(picture on the right)!

That's all for now :) I will share some more at the end of June :)
Have a great weekend! I will most likely be doing a nail design post tomorrow :)

Snowing in April :(

It's snowing in April... figures >>
Here are some things to keep me hopeful for Spring weather!

I had this realcoco blouse in my eBay wishlist for a very long time,
but I didn't want to spend $30 on it, especially if I couldn't see the
product itself >< BUT it went on sale for $17 a couple weeks ago.
It's no longer on sale, but you can check it out HERE :)


This is the back of the blouse! very pretty! The quality is quite nice :)
I still wouldn't have spent $30 on it... unless they were selling out >>

I also bought these cute cloud earrings from etsy :)
You can purchase them HERE :)
There were a lot of cloud inspired earrings on etsy, but this one stood
out to me because it was a little different and not as solid/graphic.
The stone looked white when I first received them, but they look a little
purple depending on the lighting and sometimes a very light pink ☆

I finally picked up the Angelica Hydration Mask from L'Occitane!
They were having an offer on Facebook, where you get a $10 gift card
if you spend over $35. This product itself is already $36, so why not >>
I have used it once, so I can't say too much but I'm liking it so far :)
It is definitely not for someone who is sensitive to fragrances.

Hope the weather where you are living, is warm and sunny!

helloberry obsession!

I recently discovered helloberry and instantly fell in love!
They are based in Toronto, and run by 3 lovely ladies :)

I purchased the 'snowberry mini smoothie' (above) and my cousin
decided to get the 'peach mini smoothie'. Very cute and chic :)

They recently released their new Spring Harvest collection for 2012!
I am loving the 'blueberry' and the 'green apple'. SO tempted!!!
You can purchase their bracelets here :)

They're also offering FREE SHIPPING today (LEAP DAY) :)
code: LEAPYRSHIP

Have fun shopping :p

100% Pure and little reviews!

My super simple outfit above >>
just something very casual for class :)


Asos Fur Snood . $13.07cad
I've been wanting a faux fur stool or scarf for a while
and Asos had this particular faux fur snood on sale! It
looked cute on the model, so I decided to get it. It's
quite massive in person lol =p I had to wear it to show
you how it looks because taking a photo of it by itself
looked flat and awkward ><

I recently purchased a few things from 100% Pure because
they had a $50 or over Free Shipping :) I needed a new toner
and I liked their Hydrating Tonique. It really does help to keep
my skin somewhat clear throughout the month.

I wanted to try their Purity Cleanser + Mask and compare it to
the Naruko Acne Clay Cleanser. They have the same concept
where you can either use it as a mask or as a daily cleanser.

I have been eying at their Seaweed Facial Mask! I know that skincare
products that contain a fair amount of algae or kelp helps to improve
the skin's texture and balances the oil. Plus, it's light green! :) All you
have to do is mix it with water or yogurt to create a paste :) yum.

My hair is always frizzy, especially during the winter >< 100% Pure
offers hair care products as well, so I decided to try their Glossy Locks
Smooth & Moisture Hair Balm :) it works quite well and is very light.
I don't feel it on my hair at all and it's not greasy!

Ok I kind of have a negative comment for the 100% Pure Mascara (mini).
First off, I never wear mascara so I can't really compare it to other brands
but I have used other brands in the past. This mascara has a dry formula,
and is supposed to help hold the lashes better especially if you have shorter
eyelashes. I personally have neither short or long lashes... I'm quite happy
with the length of my lashes to be honest. I'll make a list of the Pros/Cons:
Pros:
- smells like blueberries (literally!)
- lengthens the lashes
- separates the lashes
- pigmented
- holds the curl, but not for the whole day
- doesn't sting my eyes within' an hour
(this is why I don't wear mascara because they sting my eyes ><)
Cons:
- dry formula (not for everyone)
- clumps a tiny tiny bit near the tips of the lashes
- a bit messy to use when applying... it somehow transfers
onto my lid, no matter how much I tilt my head up or down ><
- brush may be a bit too big
- doesn't hold the curl for the whole day

So it was the week of Halloween when I made my order and
you get a full size Dark Chocolate Syrup Bubble Bath with
a purchase of $75+. I'm planning on giving this as a gift just
because I never take bubble baths at home and honestly... who
wouldn't want a dark chocolate bubble bath!? yummy =p

OOOH and I was one of the winners for one of their facebook contests!
I'm not sure what I won though lol =p I think blotting sheets :) yay!

Oops, almost forgot the TREASURE FIND of the week!

I am always on the lookout for natural fragrances and I stumbled upon
2 lovely sellers on Etsy who have lovely light fruit/citrus fragrances.
I don't wear perfume and if I do, I like it to be very subtle and light.
I'm not a huge fan of florals or anything powdery. I do like a tinge of
Jasmine and _______ (can't remember the flower -.-).

I am still on the hunt for the Body Shop's Satsuma Perfume oil dupe!

Does 'Pink Watermelon', 'Mermaid Kisses', 'Vanilla Hazelnut',
'Honeymoon Romance', and 'White Tea & Linen' sound wonderful
to you? then check out these 2 lovely sellers! :D

ElloPoppetBeauty                                                              Etiquettes

I'll try not to introduce another Etsy seller next week =p
It's just too addicting >>

and I am very sorry for the super massive, clustered post ><

TREASURE find Thursdays!

Every Thursday, I will try to post up something I find worth checking out :)
This week, I was searching for some mineral eyeshadows and came across
this lovely seller on Etsy called LoveHues! :) What really caught my eye were
the unique shade of colours! I am thinking of purchasing the ones above myself!

I'm a huge fan of opalescent shades and her eyeshadows look amazing!
The names of her eyeshadows are also quite lovely and suitable :)

Check out her Etsy shop here :)
The mineral eyeshadows are about $6 USD each, but you can get samples as well!
