Is it worth buying Timberland boots? + How to clean them

Hello there! I am that kind of person who wears out shoes quickly. It's almost a one season thing for me. Though, I have few pairs of shoes which are indestructible. One of them is Timberland shoes. I have been wearing these for 3 years now. I think I have hit my shoe wearing record. 
I think many of you know these shoes. They were pretty popular and maybe they still are. I can't say much. Mostly I don't believe that some kind of popular and expensive brand is better than a cheap one, but in this case brand is worth the money. I bought them long time ago just because they seemed nice to me. Now I don't regret paying a lot of money at all. They got me through the worst weather.
You can basically mach them with any outfit. This light brown colour looks simple but a bit odd. Oh, I forgot to mention that these Timberland boots are for winter time and they have white fur inside. Sometimes one shoe tongue flips to outside, but I am like whatever and leave it like that. 
More over is that Timberland boots are the most comfortable shoes ever. I can walk and walk in them no matter what. 
Finally what I love about them is that they are waterproof. That is such a great feature. When it's winter and there are banks of snow outside, you can feel safe, because these shoes will keep your feet dry. Also Timberland boots are lifesavers when it comes to rainy weather. 
However, a year after buying these boots they started making this squeaky sound. Though, this sound wasn't annoying, so I didn't pay any attention. 
Now my Timberland boots look a bit worn out and they make that squeaky sound. 
Despite that I still wear them. Time to time I clean them with different methods. Overall they look pretty great. 
How to clean suede Timberland boots:
1. Use suede cleaning moose. If special cleaner for Timberland boots is too expensive for you, choose a simple suede cleaner.
2. Use dish soap. If suede cleaner does not work for you, take a sponge and on the wet shoe rub dirty areas with dish soap. This is an amazing idea which helped my shoes a lot! It makes them look like new! In my pictures you can see my 3 year old shoes after cleaning them with dish soap.
What is your opinion on Timberland boots? How do you clean them?

Essentials that got me through hectic week

Hola lovely readers! I am so sorry for not blogging this week. I had a busy week filled with lots of tests and homework. I know that the week is not done, but tomorrow we have a day off from school. 
I thought I can share my ways of coping with staying healthy, active and upbeat.
I know that sometimes it can be hard to focus when you are tired and you just want to drop every single work. There are ways to concentrate and cheer yourself up. I've found mine. They may not work for everybody, but I noticed that they help me a lot. If you are not familiar with these methods, maybe you need to discover your own. If you haven't, soon or later you will. 
Now let's get into my essentials:

1.Green Tea



I heard so many great things about green tea, but I recently found out that it wakes you up. Then I started looking for more information about it. So I learned that green tea actually contains caffeine just like coffee, except it's way healthier. Also by drinking this tea you can loose weight and it can lower risk of many diseases. 
When I began drinking green tea in the morning I could immediately notice the effect. It got me alert for the whole morning. I could concentrate better during first lessons. I highly recommend drinking green tea for those who have hard time getting up in the morning. 


2. Water

It's vital to drink water. It has so many benefits. For example, it helps to flush harmful toxins out of your body. I like to drink water as it is healthy and I can loose some weight. Though it also helps me to concentrate. When I am studying late I simply fill up my mason jar with cold water and drink it while learning. It helps me to stay awake and to remember things. 

3. Headphones

When I am studying long hours it becomes boring and tiring. I need few minutes to listen to some music. I put my headphones on and I completely shut down from outside world. It helps me to stay motivated and keeps my good mood. I really like these headphone, because they isolate external sounds and this minimalistic design looks nice.

4. Blanket

Blanket is always my essential when it's winter time, because it gets cold in my home. I literally wrap myself up in it. Blanket makes me feel safe, calms me down. I usually study and even do my homework in it. 

5. Scented candle

This week I was burning this scented candle with apples and cinnamon while studying. I almost finished it. I don't know why, but when I am studying I need my environment to be cozy. That nice smell just keeps me going. 


I hope it was helpful to you.
What are your essentials which help you to get through busy time?

LancĂ´me Hypnose Mascara review

Hello lovely readers! A few days ago my mum gave this mascara to me so I could give it a try. I think it was included in her LancĂ´me gift set, but she gave it away to me. I never used a mascara on a pricier side, but now I definitely see the difference. I absolutely loved it after the first try.
Don't be surprised it's not an actual mascara - it's a mini version of it. It contains 2ml of a product. This mascara is in a shade called 'Noir hypnotic'. I think it's the blackest one in this line. What I love about this mascara is that it gives this natural, but long and intense look to my eye lashes. Even with one coat of this product you can get an awesome volume and length. When you apply more coats eye lashes look stunning! The brush looks simple, but it's actually pretty great. No clumping at all.
After a long day my eyes still look nice. It doesn't leave dark circles under my eyes, except when I rub them. When you cry you don't get black rivers running down on your cheeks. Tested this myself.
This mascara doesn't feel heavy and it somehow makes my eye lashes soft. Product's formula contains vitamin B5 and Jojoba oil. I think these two are the most important ingredients from the whole formula. Both of them have a lot of benefits. Jojoba oil is used to create a smooth, non-clumping formula. Vitamin B5 nourishes and lengthens eye lashes.
Also you won't have problems with removing this mascara. You can simply wash your face with cleanser.
I highly recommend this LancĂ´me product if you are looking for a great quality mascara and your budget allows you to buy it. 
Have you tried this mascara? What mascara you currently use?

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub review

Hello lovelies! Please don't judge me that I just recently tried this lip scrub by Lush. I know that this product was released on the market about 4 years ago. I heard many great reviews about it and when I came by the store, I thought why not to try this one out. 
There were three scrubs: Minty, Bubblegum and Popcorn. At first I just could't decide which one to pick. All of them looked nice. I sniffed and sniffed each of them. At the end I couldn't smell Minty one and Popcorn smelled better than Bubblegum. So I took Popcorn scrub. 
In my opinion they are a bit overpriced. I paid 7.53 euros for some oils, sugar and salt. You can easily make this yourself. I bought it, because I wanted to see what's so special about this product and my dry chapped lips needed to be taken care of. Although it's expensive, it's a great product if you are too lazy to make it yourself. Especially when it's winter time and lips often become dry. 
Popcorn lip scrub literally smells like fresh caramel popcorn. I love this scent just the way I like popcorns. Lip scrub is a natural handmade product with 7 fresh ingredients: Castor Sugar, Jojoba Oil, Sea Salt, Polenta, Coconut Oil, Popping Candy, Flavour. Scrub's taste is sweet and salty in one! I apply it to my lips, rub them together and lick everything off. Lips feel soft and smooth. They also look better and it's a great way to prepare your lips before using lipstick or any other lip product.
Have you tried this Lush product?



Love,S

Happy New Year!

Hello guys! Happy New Year everyone. I can't believe that it's 2015 already. Time passes so fast that it's unbelievable. I'm very grateful to 2014 for being an amazing year. When I think about 2014, a lot of good memories come into my mind. I travelled a lot, met new people, had a truly great time. Well, thank you 2014. It's time to say goodbye.
I'm not going to do those New Year resolutions or "New Year - New me" tags. I want to wish you to have a time of your life this year. Let this year be full of joy, happiness, love, success and whatever you need in your life.
Most important be yourself. Don't try to be someone you are not. Be original and confident, because  "You are amazing just the way you are." I quoted Bruno Mars if anyone noticed it. I know that it's the hardest achievement we all want to make. If you feel like being crazy for a moment, then go crazy, have some fun!  I truly wish you to be yourself no matter what others say or think.
Secondly, don't waste your time and live your life fully. Don't be afraid to take risks. Why do you think it is said that "Who doesn't risk never gets to drink champagne." When you have an opportunity grab it, because later you can regret not taking it. You are the king of your life, everything depends on you. Don't hold yourself back. I sometimes worry about my future what if I won't make it. But I have my best friend who always chase these thoughts away. If you truly want something, you can definitely make it work.
I know that it's easy to say these things, but I will also try to follow them and make them happen. I hope you do the same. 


Love,S
