Lately, I have been digging the denim trend. As I bought a high waisted denim jeans, I immediately matched some clothing pieces with it. One of the pieces is: white simple top. I rolled my denim jeans up to give a bit of a feminine look and I paired the outfit off with the Nike Roshe runners in the colour grey to match with the light coloured simple outfit.

I will share my experience and products with you. I'm not an expert but, these are the products that worked for my skin.

-          Remove the makeup - Garnier oil based eye makeup remover






Firstly, I will begin by removing my makeup with an oil based eye makeup remover from Garnier because I use a waterproof eyeliner. Then I will cleanse my face with "Perfectly Clean" From Estée Lauder. It's a Multi-action Foam cleanser/Purifying mask. Which means you can use it as an everyday cleanse so you put it on your face and massage it over your wet skin and rinse it off, which I do every day. But you can also use it as a mask. If you use it as a mask, you have to use it twice a week and massage it over your skin leave it there about 3 minutes and then rinse it off. I didn't use it as a mask because I think it will dry out my skin because I have a dry/combination skin.




After the cleansing I would pop some pimples with my very thin needle, but the next step is very crucial. After popping the pimple or with a thin needle ALWAYS CLEAN IT with a cleaning product most people don’t do this which may be one of the reasons that they think that popping pimples are bad because if you don’t clean it the bacteria will spread and you will get even more pimples. After popping my pimples with a thin needle I would use the tea tree oil from the body shop. The tea tree oil is an extract from a plant which fights and removes the bacteria of the pimples. After cleaning it thoroughly with the tea tree oil I will put a face mask on my face.



I won't put a mask on my face not very often, maybe once in a month. Because I think it would dry out my skin and what you have to know is if you think your skin is too oily and you skip the moisturizer and use a mask very often, it would get you even more pimples because your skin is drying out and your skin will think it needs more oil so in the end you will end up having even more pimples than before.

The masks that I use every now and then are from Freeman and De tuinen. De tuinen is a store in Holland, which sells products made from natural products.

The clay mask of Freeman is less concentrated so the clay mask of De Tuinen works a bit better. Freeman has many masks and I chose the clay mask Mint & Lemon because, it’s the most effective one against breakout and large pores. The lemon and mint cools the skin down from irritation or redness and the clay absorbs oils to minimize shine and the appearance of large pores.




This green clay mask penetrates deep into pores. The tea tree oil and the lavender oil are additional active ingredients. Green clay is very cleansing, rich in enzymes and contains many beneficial minerals. This mask is a lot stronger and that’s why I don’t cover my whole face with it, but just the parts where the pimples are. People with oily skin can try to cover the whole face. It would be even more effectively if you put a mask on after a shower because the pores are wide open from the warmth.




After rinsing the mask off, my skin would feel a bit dry so when I do put a mask on I will also put a serum on afterward. My skin would be fresh and clean and then it’s smart to feed your skin with good stuff and that will be done by a serum.

I use a serum from the line Skin Perfection of L’oreal Paris. This serum has a powerful formula enriched with Perline-P and patented LR 2412. It claims to perfect your skin by penetrating through the skin’s epidermis layers. Pores will be minimized, the tone of the skin will be more even and the skin will have a silky-soft texture. The satin-touch serum helps boost hydration and refine skin texture. I don’t use it very often and I neither have large pores so it’s hard to tell whether it works or not, but it does a great job at making my skin soft whenever I use it. Also, I trust L’oreal Paris because the serum has a great formula.



After the serum I will moisturize my face and that’s also from the line Skin perfection. All products from this line has almost same ingredients and all have the same target. So it would even have more effect if you use all the products from that line but, it may be too much.

Day 1

We arrived at 8 AM on august the 11th, my first thought was: it's so hot! I wore a shirt with a long black skinny jeans and when I arrived. I immediately went to the bathroom to change my outfit Taxi driver picked us up and drove us to the hotel.There we could leave our Luggage and we could start our adventure. We walked along the riverside and eventually we saw the Charle's bridge and man it was a beautiful view on the Charle's bridge ! While we were walking to the Charles bridge, we went through the Kampa park. This park had memorials from the world war two, many Jewish people were killed in Prague at that time. The memorials and objects which were left behind from that time gave me a sad and cold feeling. After the Kampa park we arrived at the bridge. When I was on the bridge I noticed many beggars. I put some money in their hats, which they were holding. I thought it was so sad because they were like kneeling on the ground and their heads were bent forward and just to imagine that they have to stay in that pose for hours long in that weather, it broke my heart. On the bridge there was a tower and from there we went up and we had a beautiful view of Prague. We walked a bit around but we had to quickly go back to the hotel because it was so hot we thought our skin were burning. When we got back to the hotel we expected that they had air conditioning but no they didn't .. So we had another solution for that. We held a party in the bathtub with ice cold water. Then we decided to stay in for a few hours because it was too sunny and hot outside and in the evening we went outside and walked around. Prague looks like a night city because in the evening it was still alive and crowded with people !

Our experience was great but with a few tips, it would be even better !

- When it's above 30 degrees in Prague, don't underestimate !
-When it's above 30 degrees take a hat with you or something to cover up ! (I looked for a hat over 3 days ! )
-When you arrive at the hotel, ask immediately for a map and information about the transportation.

Recently I came across this picture on Tumblr. “Too much perfection is a mistake.”  When I saw it, I thought immediately about the book: ”The giver” written by: Lois Lowry.   It is set in a society which is at first presented as a utopian society, but questions the reader, whether the societies' utopia is worth the cost. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness," a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives.  The Community lacks any color, memory, climate and terrain whatsoever, all in an effort to preserve structure, order, and a true sense of equality beyond personal individuality. The book shows actually the perfect world, without; war and comparing between individuals and pain (you’re not even allowed to slide off the slide because they think it’s too dangerous)  etc. Everybody is equal and the government has everything in control. The citizens don’t need to worry about his/her future or anything, the government has it all settled and decided for them. This shows that perfection is a mistake because the citizens in the book showed us that they didn’t know sadness but neither happiness nor joy. There is no happiness nor joy without sadness. But I do think that the world today could be less violent and also the wrong image of the society of “need to be, need to do, need to have” could be less. So what do you think about the perfect world? Do you think that the bad side of the world should be all erased or just a part of it or do you rather have the world we have today?
