Hello, my beautiful birds!This article is slightly different from what I usually do. It's a collaboration, or maybe more of an interview kind of thing. The following questions were brought to you by my friend Romelia. She kindly accepted to do this. You can find her post here. So here it is. Please let me know if you'd like more of those type of blogs. I hope you enjoy this and thanks for reading. ♥

1) what's your morning routine?
Mmmh, I wake up, take a shower, get ready, drink my tea - and/or coffee- and eat breakfast, take care of my cat, check my emails and then go outside. Nothing quite interesting here I'm afraid.

2) what's the song that you keep listening to these days?
Mmm, that would be Someone New, from the Hozier or You me at six - Room to breath. I've gotten quite addicted to Spotify lately.

3) if you could travel to a place right now, where would it be?
Damn, I don't know which one to pick. I wish I was in a lot of places. I guess I'd stood somewhere between Ireland and England. Well, I would go to Manchester but I love Dublin just the same. Do you see my problem, here? ahahahahah

4) what's your favourite dessert?
My Italian blood is screaming : TIRAMISU.

5) how do you picture yourself in 10 years?
Oh my... That would make me 32 years old. It seems so far ahead... I don't know. Hopefully, I would have a job and travel a lot. My cat will still be by my side. Maybe a boyfriend? Who knows... That sounds like the perfect life. I'm sure it will be far from it but a girl can dream, right?





Coucou, my beautiful birds!Cet article est quelque peu différent de ce que j'ai l'habitude de poster sur ce blog. J'ai voulu tenter quelque chose de différent. Cet article a été réalisé en collaboration avec Romelia. C'est elle qui a eut la gentillesse de me poser les questions ci-dessous. Souhaitez-vous voir plus d'articles de ce genre? J'espère que vous apprécierez cet article et merci pour votre soutien ♥

1) quelle est ta routine matinale?
Je prend ma douche, me prépare, bois mon thé et prend mon petit déjeuner. Je m'occupe de mon chat puis je regarde mes emails puis je m'en vais...

2) quelle est ta chanson du moment ?
En ce moment j'écoute surtout Someone New, the Hozier ou You me at six - Room to breath. Dernièrement, je suis tombée sous le charme de l'application Spotify.

3) si tu pouvais voyager quelque part tout de suite, tu irais où ?
Damn, je ne serais choisir. J'aimerais être dans tellement d'endroits... J'imagine que je serais quelque part entre l'Angleterre et l'Irlande. J'irais sûrement à Manchester mais j'aime tout autant Dublin... Voyez-vous mon problème ici, ahah?

4)quel est ton dessert préféré ?
Mes origines Italiennes vous répondent LE TIRAMISU, quelle question.

5) comment tu te vois dans 10 ans?
Oh my... J'aurais 32 ans. Cela semble tellement loin... Je ne sais pas. Avec un peu de chance, j'aurais un travail et je voyagerais beaucoup. Mon chat sera toujours à mes côtés et j'aurais peut-être même un boyfriend, qui sait. Ça ressemble à la vie parfaite... J'en serais sûrement bien loin mais je peux toujours rêver pas vrai?

Hello, my beautiful birds!2015 is now beyond us. I tried a few products this year and some of them didn't make the cut. Let's just say, they didn't meet my expectations. (Me having high expectations ? Nooooope... ) They are nonetheless great products. They were simply not my cup of tea. I will attempt quickly to draw a quick review of what I didn't like about them. Keep in mind that it's my humble opinion after several months of daily use of each product. It's ok if you disagree with me. We are all entitled to our own opinion. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy and thanks for reading ♥

1. The Bodyshop, Aloe Calming Toner. ≈ It did absolutely nothing to my skin. It made no difference.
2. Estee Lauder, Double Wear (Concealer). ≈ After a while, it only make my eyes look greyish. It doesn't cover much of dark rings under my eyes. I have to apply at least 3 layers to get a decent coverage... Seriously, I had a great disillusion on this one...
3. Lancôme, teint miracle (foundation). ≈ I bought this foundation thinking it will be lightweight and somewhat radiant. It has medium coverage and it adds litterally no light to my face. It's a rather matt formula.
4. Nars, The Multiple in Copacabana. ≈ Well, this one was my Christmas present last year. I liked it so much but now, I've grown out of said love. It's simply 'too white' - understand sliverish - for my fair skin. It doesn't really do anything unless I apply a ridiculous amount of it. So I guess, I have mixed feelings on this one.

Hello, my beautiful birds! L'année 2015 est à présent bien loin derrière nous. J'ai eu l'occasion de tester quelques produits et certains d'entre eux n'ont pas su conquérir mon cœur. Résumons simplement en disant qu'ils n'ont pas su répondre à mes attentes. (Comment ça j'ai des attentes trop hautes?) Ils n'en restent pas moins de très bons produits. Ils n'étaient simplement pas fait pour moi. Je vais tenter de brièvement vous expliquer ce qui ne m'a pas séduite dans chacun d'entre eux. Veillez à ne pas oublier qu'il s'agit de ma propre opinion et qu'il vous est tout à fait possible de ne pas partager mon opinion. Sans plus attendre, je vous laisse découvrir mes reviews après plusieurs mois d'utilisation. J'espère que vous apprécierez ce petit article. À bientôt ♥

1. The Bodyshop, Aloe Calming Toner. ≈ Je n'ai pas grand chose à dire à part que je n'ai constaté aucune différence après utilisation de ce produit.
2. Estee Lauder, Double Wear anticernes. ≈ Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, j'ai réalisé qu'il était grisâtre et très peu couvrant. Je suis forcée d'appliquer au moins trois couches pour qu'ils cachent mes cernes. Il est très peu naturel. C'est une grosse désillusion ...
3. Lancôme, teint miracle fond de teint. ≈ J'ai acheté ce produit en pensant qu'il serait discret et lumineux. Ce qu'il n'a pas été. Il est assez couvrant et plutôt mate sur moi.
4. Nars, The Multiple in Copacabana. ≈ Ce dernier produit m'a été offert pour noël dernier. Je le trouvais tellement bien puis au fils des utilisations j'ai déchanté. Il est simplement trop blanc (comprendre clair ici) pour ma peau claire. Il me faut donc en appliquer beaucoup pour avoir un effet illuminateur. Il reste tout de même un bon produit. En fin de compte, j'ai un avis assez partagé.

Hello there lovebirds ♥ Once again I'm here to introduce a new etsy shop : NEED THE CASE. This shop opened on Dec 16, 2013. Her owner is Nastya Li. She is absolutely adorable. We talked a lot on etsy. The whole team is very professional, thoughtful and talented. Their unique Iphone cases are of great quality and I love all her designs. They are so gorgeous. I had a hard time finding just one case. The delivery took a bit of time on my first order but it was very quick the second time around. I'm very pleased with my order. I thought you might be interested in finding a good etsy shop where you could buy a new case for your phone. If you're anything like me, you'll fall in love with her shop!
I'm happy to share with you this etsy shop I discovered a couple months ago. I hope you'll enjoy this post. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon ♥



" About three years ago, I was trying to find the phone case for my mother`s birthday. I knew what she wanted, but could not found it anywhere. It was even hard to imagine how upset I was. Finally, I found the present in some shop in US, but it was too late to order. So, I decided to do it by myself. I found the small shop in Kyiv – they promised me to do the case I wanted. But when i receive it, the case was SO awful. All in all, I tried to produce the case in three local shops, but the results were deplorable.

My mother`s birthday passed, but my crazy idea was still living. I read a lot, visited the print centers, and finally decided to try. That time I worked as a graphic designer, and draw a lot. I presented the first cases with my drawings to my friends, and they liked them. It inspired me to do more.

Now, we are the team of three. And I adore my job. I really have an obsession with patterns and try to find them everywhere – at home, at work, during my trips,etc.

WE really want to thank you for choosing us. WE appreciate every our customer and their choice to order our case. Hope you will enjoy our cases! "

You can find her shop here.

* This post was not sponsored. It's my genuine and very own opinion. I really loved her Iphone cases and think her shop was worth mentioning.

– MURAL VINTAGE CASE, iPhone case.


– GZHEL BLUE CASE, iPhone case. (*)

{ } Hello, my beautiful birds! J'ai récemment changé de téléphone. De ce fait, il me fallait des nouvelles coques. Mon choix s'est porté sur cette boutique etsy. L'équipe de Nastya a réalisé ces deux coques. Ce sont deux coques que je trouve très originales et de bonne qualité. La livraison de ma première commande a été assez longue et la seconde bien plus rapide. Je suis très satisfaite de mes achats. Un peu trop puisque j'ai choisi de partager avec vous ma dernière découverte sur Etsy. Si vous cherchez une coque originale, n'hésitez pas à commander auprès de cette boutique. Ils sont fiables et ont des designs vraiment très sympathiques. En plus, sa propriétaire Nastya Li est très professionnelle et attentionnée.
J'espère que vous apprécierez ce petit article. Je vous remercie pour votre lecture et on se retrouve bientôt. ♥

* Cet article n'est pas sponsorisé. Il contient mon honnête et personnel avis. J'ai apprécié ses coques d'Iphone. C'est donc pour cela que j'ai choisi de vous en parler.

hey hey! My favourite items from the Christmas sales are listed here. They are the products from worldwide retailers. I hope you'll enjoy this and thanks for reading ♥

I still think New Year resolutions are BS. However, if you disagree, I hope your plan will materialize.
I wish all of you the best for 2016. May this year be brighter than the last. I hope you'll get everything you deserve (good and bad, depending on what you did and who you are haha. We all know Karma is a b**** ;))
New year, new leaf? Well, if you decide so... Only time will tell! Anyhow, Serenbird got a new design (at last) and that is absolutely wonderful ♥♥

{ } Bonne année les petits loups! Ce n'est pas parce que je ne crois toujours pas aux résolutions de début d'année que vous ne pouvez pas réaliser les vôtres.Bonne chance pour tout ça et je vous souhaite d'obtenir tout ce que vous méritez. (bon comme mauvais, nous savons tous que le karma est une b***. )
Nouvelle année, nouvelle page. Nous verrons bien... En tout cas, Serenbird a changé de tête et ça c'est top ♥

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

JOYEUX NOEL !

BUON NATALE

Feliz Navidad !

this is the Christmas tree of my dear friend Clara ahah ♥ It looks too lovely not to be shared with you! Happy holidays x

Hello, my beautiful birds! I guess this post is a little tribute to everyone and everything around me at this exact moment. Like any of us here, life gets the best of me at times. In the end, those are not the moments that count. We can choose to stay in the past or to live in the present. A long time ago, I chose to live in the now. And everyday I'm amazed. There isn't a day that goes by when life or people don't surprise me. Life and people are fiercely surprising and unpredictable. You can't control everything. You can never know for sure what will happen today or tomorrow. There is always a silver lining. No matter how often or how bad the universe kicks you, always get back up on your feet. You can do anything. You're always stronger than you think. I'm tired of people bringing each other down. Seriously, why do they feel the need to be such assholes all the time ? Don't be a prick. It's as simple as that. Life isn't about who is better than the rest. It's about being yourself and living your life the way you entend to live it. I choose to share with you today, the reasons why I still believe that even after what happens everyday in this stupid world, life is still a shade of grey. I refuse to lose faith in humanity. We can still make tomorrow a better day and a better world. Thanks for reading ♥

1. my family & my cat who thinks he is a dog ; my old friend who is my family (♥) ; my friends, those who make me laugh and always brighten up my world by their presence (some of you should recognize themselves here, right?) & those stupid kids I love.
2. books, tea, Arts, fashion and tv shows which make life so much easier.
3. being able to have a nice flat and food on my table every day. Not everyone has that chance. Remember how lucky you are. Keep your feet on the ground, kiddo.
4. To everyone who gave me chance - or not - and led me to where I'm right now : thank you so much. I wouldn't be the person I'm today without any of those people.
5. To everyone who ever believed in me : thanks a milion. Yes I'm thinking of a special teacher. I'll never forget any of the words he said to me. Words are powerful. More than one could ever think. Bad or good they never leave your mind.
