favourites

When I'm working which means when I'm drawing for Jane's Doodles I like to 'watch' (more like listen to) shows, movies or documentaries. My desk is in the living room which tends to be a loud and busy area with the kids there so I pop in my headphones to drown out the background noise and put something on to watch while I work.

About Time. 

I LOVE this movie! Love the actors in it and the music throughout the movie is awesome.

I've been meaning to watch Brooklyn and am so glad I finally did.

This show on netflix is hilarious....if you're a mama I think you'd really enjoy this series. :)

favs

It's been forever since I've blogged! 

Really busy with Jane's Doodles (which by the way major sale - 30% off all clear stamps!).

I wanted to share some current favourites I've been loving...some old, some new.

Oprah's new book The Wisdom of Sundays is such an uplifting read! You can literally open up to any page and get a dose of positivity. This book makes a perfect gift too (just saying...since Christmas is around the corner!).

I've also went back to using Jane Iredale's BB Glow Time. Love it. I use a tiny bit (it's so pigmented) to even out my skin.

LOVE my cuffs!!

New goodies include Evolve's Gentle Cleansing Melting, Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment (which my hubby picked up for me at Sephora in Paris) and Cosmel's Omega 6 Cream which is divine!! Smells so darn good (reminds me of their Melli Cream). And finally Greengirl's Vitamin C Serum (which I will do a separate post for).

netflix favourites

I'm sharing some of my Netflix favourites. Most of the time I'm watching Netflix while I'm working at my desk. I have two screens so it's more like I'm listening than watching while I'm drawing etc. Or late at night I'll watch while crocheting.

First up is Gilmore Girls of coarse! 

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I am not ashamed to say that I watched it 3 times already and now have the need to go back and watch all 7 seasons again!

I love to watch the History Channel so The Crown was another show I couldn't wait to watch. Watched it....LOVED it! It's so so good! I want more. And I think I want to move to England.

You'll see a pattern with the following shows. I love history, castles and the Irish! :) I really enjoyed this series. 

The Tudors. Wow! LOVED this. Only problem with it is it's not a show you can watch with your kids if you know what I mean....you know...there's a lot of 'threading the needle', the 'horizontal mambo'. 

Didn't think I was going to like this one much but I loved it!

Will share more favourites soon but for now

 I'm watching cheesy Christmas movies....the cheesier the better! :)

made in Croatia

 I just LOVE it when I find quality products made here in Croatia and I thought I would share a few. These things are on my wish list. With Christmas coming soon these would make pretty awesome gifts! ;)

I've already shared this on one of my Friday favourites and it's Urban Watch. I haven't owned a watch since my oldest was born. I had accidently scratched him with my watch (poor little bunny) and took it off and never put it back on (gave it to my cousin).

And good news to all my international readers, Urban Watch provides FREE worldwide shipping!

Problem is I can't make up my mind on which I like most! Maybe I'll just have to resort to eeny meeny miny moe!

Marina's handmade ceramics make me smile! I'm lucky to own one.

  I want to get a cute bowl for Mia's room. Or a plate to hang on the wall (if you tell her you want the plate to hang on the wall she makes the necessary adjustments). She's super talented, friendly and speaks English!

Check out Marina's etsy shop Marinski Heartmades.

If you follow my blog and/or instagram than you'll know I prefer natural cosmetic brands. I recently stumbled upon Cosmel and hope to try some of their products.

Adorable packaging...I'm a sucker for packaging but it all comes down to the product inside.

Last is Mustra. I LOVE their quirky, adorable t-shirts.

I have my eye on a few of them. 

I think this one below is my favourite and loosely translated it says 'when will winter come so I could hug you'. Cute right?! 

favourites - FOTD

Hello!

I wanted to share some favourites of 2014 and I'll start with my face! :)

This is pretty much what I wear on my face on a daily basis....my FOTD which means face of the day (took me such a long time to figure out that one!). I don't like to wear lots of make up, hate wearing foundation, powder...pretty much never wear it.

Andalou SPF 30 serum (love) I MUST wear minimum of SPF 30 (hyperpigmentation) - Vitacost.

If I'm going to be running errands then I'll top Andalou with Nuxe's BB cream (it only has a SPF of 8?? That is the only bad thing I have to say about this BB cream...and the fact that it only has two shade of which I wear the lightest and if you're very fair skinned I think it will be too dark).

For under eye circles, around the ol' schonz I use RMS Beauty's Un Cover Up - Naturissimo.

I use Bourjois's Ultra Care mascara. I have sensitive eyes and this doesn't irritate them. I want to try Lavera's mascara once I'm done with this one.

I go back and for and sometimes blend Ilia's In My Room (love the colour, lasts on the lips but it takes a bit of work to get it on the lips) and Logona's Double Lip Pencil in 01. I LOVE the Logona Double Lip Pencil and want to get other shades - Love Lula.

When my cousin came to visit from Canada her brought me Tarte's blush in Exposed and it's pretty much all I've been wearing. 

Lush's Vanillary solid perfum is my FAVOURITE! 

All the Christmas 'stuff' is coming down. With all the deadlines I had and sick kids, hubby in the hospital Christmas slipped past me. I didn't even got the Christmas mass because I was home with Jakov (who was sick...and then the next day Mia got sick...then Marko...).

I'm saying goodbye to this Christmas tree. I bought it the first Christmas after my father passed away...so I was 21 (I'm 40 now). I lived in a one bedroom apartment and this tree looked HUGE in it! lol! It looks tiny in our home now.  It's been falling apart the last few Christmas's and looks a tad shabby...looking forward to buying a new tree...or maybe we'll go with real tree's.

Pop on over to the JD blog and check out Alice's FAB card.

 and join me here tomorrow for a Spotlight Blog Hop featuring my stamp set Seamus! :)

colour + friday favourites

Hello!

Hope all is well! 

Sharing some favourites...it's all about colour! It's funny because as much as I LOVE colour my home is very neutral and my closet consists of lots of black, grey and jeans!;) But that why most of my card are bright and colourful!

I'm just loving that night stand...what a gorgeous shade of pink!!! And I love the honeycomb pattern on the top drawer...what a great idea!

pinterest

Do I even need to say anything?!!

Laura Bassen is one of my favourite card makers/crafter and this tag of hers....I mean it's like she had me in mind when she was making it!!! 

L.O.V.E!

Oh my! I need to start wearing heels again...since I had my kids I literally stopped...I'm sorry but running after my kids in heels didn't feel like the right thing to do...but I'm thinking it's time Mama started wearing some pretty heels! ;)

That's it folks!! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I'm hoping my JD sample stamp sets arrive sometime next week!!
