Short Summer Beauty Haul

I thought I should share my latest two additions to my beauty product family, which I picked up a few weeks ago at Victoria's Secret. The PINK section had a great of choosing two beauty products, so I picked up the body mist and body butter from the "sun kissed" line. Both smell gorgeously like coconut water and warm vanilla, what makes them a true summer fragrance for beach, parties or long walks along the coast. The body butter contains a sheer shimmer what gives the skin a perfect summer glow. However does the scent not last for very long so I would recommend using the body butter first and then layering with the body mist for getting longer lasting fragrance. Even thought it's a body butter, it's texture is quiet light and quickly absorbed by the skin what makes it perfect for summer.

I'm so excited for summer to finally arrive and these two guys will definitely be two of my favourites!



Have you purchased any new beauty products recently? What did you get? Leave me a comment below, I'm so interested!

the body mist even got some polka dots on it, so cute!

The Benefits of Green Tea

I start every morning with a cup full of green tea. Green tea became a kind of "trend drink" over the last years and guess what, that happened for a reason! Green tea has so many benefits for our health and can even help us lose weight.

So here are my three reasons why:

Weight Loss -  Green tea increases the metabolism, what makes you use more glucose instead of storing it as so called "fat". The polyphenol in it also helps your body to be more efficient. After meals it keeps you fuller and helps regulating the release of insulin.

Preventing and helping with diseases - Green tea can help with diabetes by slowing down the rise of blood sugar after eating and therefore preventing high insulin spikes. Green tea prevent diseases like Heart Diseases, high blood pressure, Alzheimer, Parkinson and Esophageal Cancer. Another benefit is that green tea contains anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents which helps catching diseases from flus and colds to cancer.

Skin and Hair - Green tea gives you nice glowy skin and also helps with any signs of aging because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Especially during holidays, green tea is a good drink to go to as it also reduces sun damage. Another plus is that green tea fights against hair loss and helps with quicker and new hair growth.


How many awesome benefits can you get from such a simple and not even expensive drink?

I drink green tea for about a year now and I can really say that I notice a difference. I always have my tea in the morning as breakfast, because I've never been a big breakfast eater and therefore skip it most of the times. I have 2-4 more cups after every meal because of the great fact about the glucose, which keeps you full for a longer time. But attention! Don't add milk, honey, sugar, stevia etc. because it'll cancel out most of the beneficial ingredients of green tea. If you don't like the taste you can just add a fresh leave of mint, what makes it taste like peppermint tea :) Miranda Kerr vows on this amazing drink and when Miranda does, we should as well!

My adorable cup from this morning!

Old Blog

It'll take its time until I managed to write a collection of interesting posts, so why not check out my old blog ? I have to admit that I don't really like the way I used to write and this blog is going to be different.
