February favourites

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to show you last month favourites. I know it's a little late... Hope you gonna forgive me :)

Favorite perfumes definitely Versace Bright Crystal. This is really light, fresh and floral fragrance. For those of you who wants feel femininely.

When I lived in Poland, I had my favourite face scrub but I found out really difficult to buy it now, when I live in UK. So I tried to find something what I can easily get here. St. Ives was first one which I tried and I know there not gonna be anymore :) I like smell of apricot and price especially. I'm so happy that I found my no. 1 scrub here!

I showed this conditioner on my blog already. It was few months ago when I had long hair. Than I cut them and I decided not use any conditioners for a while. A few days ago I used this nutrient again and I fell in love one more time (if it's possible :)) I love this fresh smell, soft and smooth hair effect. 

Certainly I can say: YT made me buy it and I don't regret. When I went to the shop to find something for my face I was torn between this product and Garnier Micellar Water. Finally I decided to take LOreal. When I finish this one I would like to try Garnier as well to compare them. For now I'm really happy using  LOreal because it's gentle for my eyes and removes make-up properly. 

I have no big expectations about shower gel. In my life I had maybe 3 shower gels which I wasn't really happy using them. Nivea hawaiian bliss smell realy nice and fresh, that's why I will buy it one more time in future. 

Time for make-up! I'm not big expert about make-up cosmetics. If something is good for me, I'm using this long time. Also I'm not buying many color cosmetics because my make-up is actually always the same. 

Long time I had a big problem to find good foundation. I have combination skin and few months ago I noticed that my T zone shine more than usally. I tried few foundation, and finally one of my friends recomended me Revlon Color Stay and I'm absolutely happy. My colour is buff. 

MAC studio finish I bought because of YT as well and I'm satisfied. Cover imprefections really well and is long lasting. That's what I need! And last one is Sleek blush. I always wanted try Sleek cosmetics. I like this colour and long lasting effect. Price is also really good. 

These are my favourites of the past month.

Cheap and delicious country salad

Hi everyone!

If you follow me on Instagram you should know that I like cook and eat of course. I'm big fan of different kind of salads. Today I'm gonna show you my new idea for easy and cheap one. Enjoy! :)

Ingredients and prices for 2 large servings:

*Iceberg lettuce (49p)

*4 Eggs (50p)

*Tomatoes (60p)

*Bacon (I used 200 g (40p))

*Half red onion (10p)

*3 pieces of bread (bought reduced (20p))

Preparation:

1. Slice lettuce, tomatoes, onion and bacon.

2. Boil eggs and cut into quarters.

3. Cut bread into small pieces. For croutons prepare olive oil and some spices like chilli and basil (something about 20p). It's up to you. Mix small pieces of bread with olive oil and spices and fry in a pan to make them crisp. 

4. Fry bacon.

5. Mix everything and your salad is almost ready. 

If you would like add some dressing use greek style yoghurt (3 big spoons (30p)), clove of garlic (10p), salt and paper (10p).

I spent £2,99 for 2 large servings. 

Saving money tips:

1. Don't throw bread if it's not quiet fresh. You can use it to do croutons.

2. Find at shop cooking bacon. It's realy cheap option because it's already cut into small slices. I bought this one at Morrisons for 90 p per 500 g. 

Hope you enjoy!

Let me know if you tried this recipe :)

My first wish list

Hi guys! 

As each woman, I like do shopping. I love actually! This year I decide to control my temptations and fight them. I am trying not to buy lot of clothes, cosmetics and stuff like that. It's just because I realized that I always spend money for some stupid thing. This year my biggest goal is going for some all inclusive holiday. That's why I try to plan my expenses. I compose my wish list. It's not obviously list exactly for one month. It might take few months before I will buy all this things, but definitely I'm going to buy them this year! 

I have a birthday in June, so it's going to be easier make my wishes come true! Haha

What is your opinion about some of this thing? Let me know.

Saving money tips: FOOD

Hi guys!

Have you ever wonder how much money you can save in everyday life? I did! Last few days I spent doing research about it and I decided to create new series on my blog about money saving. Today I am going to give you 5 tips how to save money on food. 

Source

1. Every single day find out what food products you have at home.  This is the  most important tip which let you save money. If you in your fridge is meat which you bought few days ago and forgot about  it is very likely that you can throw it to the bin loosing money at the same time. Check your supplies regulary! 

2. Do not buy some products just because it is buy one take second for half price etc. offer. If you know you are not able to eat 2 kilograms of carrot, do not buy them because it is cheaper. I mean especially about fresh products like vegetables or fruits. If you necessarily want buy, freeze part of it. You will avoid looses. 

3. Check shelves with reduced food. Yes, I am not crazy. Do it every time when you are in shop. If you need for example bread for today, take this which is reduced. In some case you can save even 50%! I do it all the time and I am still alive. I have seen many times people buying bread that 30 seconds later was reduced. Cut-price does not means not good.

4. Do lists. I have my list every time when I am going to the shop. Before shopping list I am creating menu for all week. Than I can easily find out what I need to buy. When you already have you shopping list, constantly buy only what is on it. You will avoid spending money on unnecessary products. 

5. Prepare your food at home. You do not need to spend money eating out every day. It is easy, healthy and much cheaper prepare your meals at home. You will be suprised how much money you can save per week. 

I am using this tips in my everyday life and I spend £30 per week for 2 people on food. I think it is pretty little. 

Let me know what you think about saving money and what tips are you using in you everyday life. I can wait to find out new saving money ideas.
