Two weeks ago I went on my first trip ever out of the country. My sister, her friends and I embarked on the bus along with other university students and began our 12-hour-trip to go to Bansko, Bulgaria which is a touristic village known for its skiing facilities.

Being a generally confused 16-year-old girl I went on this trip excited to be travelling out of the country yet a bit worried about fitting in. But university students aren’t like that. They are relaxed and fun to be with. It seems as if they know what they want in life. It felt great to leave school, teenage worries, “friends” behind. This trip gave me clarity about a few thing and showed me that they are people out there who are nice and interesting and of course stupid people, even too “friendly” people. I met people who were future photographers, teacher, mathematicians, phycologists….  Plus it was kind of funny watching people’s faces when I would tell them that I’m 16 and not 20!

I said before that Bansko is known for its skiing facilities… Well, I didn’t ski. I just partied, met people, laughed and drew!!!!!

I hope you enjoy theses photos:

This evening I’m going to a friend’s party so I thought it was a good idea to show you my make-up and hair for the night. Who knows, maybe you are going to party too and you have no idea what you’re going to do with your face and hair!

1.wash your face, dry it with a towel and then put some moisturaser on.

2.Apply (green concealer) corector focusing on the  red marks left from acne.

3.Apply foundation and powder evenly to your face and neck.

4.Eyeshadows.

Yesterday I bought a new eyeshadow pallete. I had seen it a few days earlier and I can say that it was love at first sight J ! It’s from “essense”s new collection “Hello Autumn” and it’s the “02 keep calm & go for a walk” eyeshadow palette. As you can see it consists of 6 different colour and my favourite is definitely the 6^th one which is also the darkest on. I just love this dark green colour so much!

a)      First, apply eyeshadow number 1 across the flexible lid.

b)      Then,  apply eyeshadow number 3 right in the middle of the flexible lid.

c)      Last, apply eyeshadow number 6 to your outer corner and blend.

5. Black eye liner and black eye pencil. 

The eyeliner goes across the flexible eye lid as a beautiful line and wing and the eye pencil goes across the line of the lower lashes.

6. Apply a generous amount on mastara to you eyelashes and a smaller amount to your lower lashes.

7. Red lipstick

Apply red lipstick and red lipgloss.

8. Eyebrows .

Apply a tiny amount of an almost empty black or brown mastara to yor eyedrows  just enough to align the hair.

9. Lastly, you need some spark!

I used two silver moon-shaped stones!

And that’s the finished make-up look….

Hairstyle

I’ve decided to curl my hair as my hair is naturally completely straight and I decided it was the perfect opportunity to change it up a bit!

1.Apply a generous amount of stayling mouse to you hair in order for the hair style to last lomger.

  2.Simply, comb your hair.

  3.Use a curlying iron to make beautiful curls. I seperated my hair into four in order to get all of the        hair.

  4.Use hair spray to make the hairstyle last even longer.

Done!!!

Christmas is just around the corner! Are you excited or what?

With regard to a conversation we had at my school’s theater club where we disgusted the topic “Christmas loneliness” I’ve decided to write an article about it. We put some black papers on the wall and all of us wrote (or draw) our thoughts. Some of us wrote that they hated Christmas and others  wrote that they were excited for Christmas and presents, sweets, coffee etc. The first thing that came to my mind (apart from coffee :P ) was the fact that we feel pressured to be in a relationship. I remember feeling that way the previous years but now I’m glad and lucky enough to say that I’m happy with just myself as I’ve learned that only I can make myself happy. We talked about that for a while and we came to the realization that a lot of teenagers feel this kind of pressure.

If you feel that way know that it’s ok! It’s ok to be single. Who said that relationships make you happy? Disney, movies? Well guess what relationships are hard work and they usually don’t work out. I think that us teenagers should not feel pressured about this kind of things. We should focus on going out and having fun with friends and family. Don’t feel jealous  of the girl next to you because she has a boyfriend. Just wish then happiness with all your heart and focus on yourself and your loved ones.

P.S: Don’t say that you’re alone and no one loves you. Think about how lucky you are that so many people love you. 

I KNOW I AM LUCKY! ;)
