New year often associates with something new: new style, new haircut, new diet, new friends, new beginnings. But how can you start something new in your life when a lot of things (bad or good) happened for the last 12 months and they are still there, in your mind?

I would love to know what good memories or things 2015 has brought to you!

xx, D

Merry Christmas everyone! 

I hope you're having a nice, happy and magical day with your family or friends!

I wish that your every day will be that bright and happy :)

Hello there! 

Today I have lovely Lottie as a guest on my blog! Lottie is a blogger and, as she lives in the UK and I live in Russia, we decided that it would be nice to talk about different traditions of different cultures. 

I hope that you'll find it interesting and some of you, maybe, will know something new!

xx, D

Hello there!

Have you got this festive mood, m?

I think I did. And how could I not, when there are lights and Christmas trees everywhere?

Hello there!

2016 is around the corner, so I thought that it's the time to get ready for it and gain different lists of my wishes, goals, resolutions and many more.

I literally can't believe 2015 is nearly over. I can't believe it's almost the middle of December.

Hello there! 

As you may know, I love photography. And as you're probably aware, Christmas is coming! 

So today I decided to do a bit helpful post about gifts for people who love photography too. There are gifts for every photographer, whether they are pros or amateurs, males or females. 

And if you know someone who loves photography and you have no idea what to present - this guide is for you.

This is just my suggestions from my point of view.

Phone / Tablet lenses







Nowadays mobile photography is a separate genre of photography, and I know a lot of Instagram photographers that use mostly their mobile devices.

Creative beautiful Photo albums





I bet we're all used to keep our photos on our computers, cards or some other digital ways. But I think it's so cool to keep some of your fave photographers in an actual album. When it comes to a photographer, it's also nice to have a few great photos to show your clients.

Lens cleaning set








For sure - it's something that every photographer needs and it doesn't matter if he already has a lens cleaning system, cause there's can't be too many of them.

Lens mug/cup







There's nothing better than drinking you favorite beverage from such a nice mug while editing last weeks photos :)

Photography books






Great way to give a ton of new information and inspiration.

Camera lens filters







It's a good gift, but firstly you should know the diameter of lens, cause there's no kind of "standard" one.












A tripod






There are seriously a lot of different tripods for phones, tablets and cameras, you just need to pick one you think your friend photographer will like :)

Photographer's backpack / Camera bag






Backpack or a bag is a nice tool for keeping and taking away camera, lenses and other photographer's tools.

Soft boxes / Reflectors





It's about something more pricey, but also more valuable. If you don't want to fail with a gift, I would suggest to buy a reflector, I can guarantee that any photographer would be pleased with that gift!

Software: Photoshop or Lightroom

There's a possibility that your friend photographer already has one of these software products. But if you're sure he doesn't - it's a great gift.

What would you suggest to present to a photographer?

December is here! I'm so excited for all these Christmassy things, decor stuff, make up and everything! And also for my manicure :)

Hello there! Autumn is almost over, so I thought it would be nice to do an autumn favorites round up (is it the correct sentence? haha) and remember what last autumn brought.

Hope you'll enjoy! :)

Hello! Looks like I start festive season on my blog today!

"I want to draw a picture, but my skills are too low and I can't do it"

"I reeeally want to make some handicraft, but I've never done that before, so I won't even try"

"I want to start a blog and I've got something to say, but I'm so afraid!"

A couple of weeks ago I made a post about my travel scrapbook, where I showed how I keep it and decorate it with photos, tickets, stickers and other stuff. And so then I thought that, if I showed some photos from my trip to Prague, maybe I should also show other photos and [I hope] inspire other people to visit this wonderful city. Seriously, I fell in love with Prague since my first visit in last April.

In the seriously hard timing and schedules of our lives we don't always take time for ourselves as often as we should. We communicate with other people, deal with different study/job things, solve problems and it happens pretty much every day. It's stressful, tiring, annoying and we have to distance from all of it sometimes.

As I'm kinda in long-time relationships with camera and I really like photography, I decided to pick up some working tips and ways to improve your photography skills or even to get them if you're a newbie. I'm not pretending to be a super pro at it, these tips just worked for me at the time, so I just hope they might be helpful for other people too. 

Hii there! 

I love sharing everything I like or I've been into on my blog. And so I thought that it would be nice to share my make up products that I use every day and can recommend. 

I have to say that I don't have a huge cosmetic collection and I'm definitely not a beauty guru. I prefer kinda "no make up" make up, cause it doesn't take much time and I don't need a lot of everything on my face, to me it feels really uncomfortable. 

All products that you can see in this post are quite budget and cheap, except, maybe, mascara.

And here pay attention that my skin type is combination to oily (T-zone), with some problems and spots sometimes and I'm not allergic pretty much to anything. These products are good for my skin and it's only my personal opinion.

I guess I'm going to start with

FACE

Before applying the actual cosmetic products, I moisture my face with one of my favorite moisturizers from this blogpost (for now it's Lumene or Sephora's cream) and then use The Body Shop lotion for T-zone (my review is here)

So one day I decided to keep a scrapbook, a small book where I can have all these things like in one place.

Love to autumn + love to nail polishes = oh combo haha

Today I want to share with you 4 nail colors and 1 top coat which I love especially for autumn :)

1 || SALLY HANSEN HARD AS NAILS XTREME WEAR (510 Brick Wall)

My all-time favorite! I just love this color and it's more than perfect for autumn. You can apply just one coat and it will look right as in the bottle. And it dries very quickly.

2 || ESSENCE COLOUR&GO (162 Dare To Nude)

Oldy-goodie, haha I really like nude polishes and this one I can wear like always. But for some reason I like it in autumn more than usual. As it's nude, you might need 2 or 3 coats (I usually apply 2).

3 || SALLY HANSEN HARD AS NAILS XTREME WEAR (485 Golden-I)

This one is just so perfect! It's like autumn and Christmas in one bottle, especially if you'll mix it with the first one - Brick Wall. Oh, I guess I can smell Christmas

4 || MAYBELLINE COLORAMA (290)

Simple dark graphite grey (almost black) nail color with a bit of shimmer (which you can't see on your nails). I mean well, dark polish is always good, but oh, it's autumn! And it's also nice for mixing with other colors or even for gradient manicure.

5 || SALLY HANSEN BIG MATTE TOP COAT (41055)

It's not a nail color, but I love this top coat for just changing usual look of my varnishes. Looks really good with the nude ones.

Here is it!

What are your fave nail colors for autumn season?
