Book Club - September

-

In September, I chose to read a book that was gifted to me by some friends in my birthday, back in July. It is Robert Bryndza’s “Cold Blood”. I’ve never heard about this author before but I decided to start reading before investigating.

The book is categorized as a crime thriller and, in it, you are introduced to 2 stories. The first one is about Erika Foster, the detective we get to follow as she is confronted with the investigation of 2 brutal and shocking homicides, in London. The other story is about Nina Hargreaves, a young and innocent girl who falls in love with the wrong guy, a mysterious and dangerous man, Max Kirkham.
In the cover of the book it reads “She fell in love with a killer, now she’s one too.”. So, you can imagine what happens, right? Young naïve girl, falls in love with a manipulative killer and turns into someone like him? Partly, yes, but this story is so much more than that!

Due to the violent nature of our killer and the way Nina still follows him while battling inside with love and fear, this book makes you think about some interesting facets of the human mind. How can someone love another person to the point of accepting the fact that they’re murderers? Do people really follow someone else so blindly when they’re in love? Can we even call it love?

A lot of questions come into mind but, basically, throughout the entire story I kept thinking about what I would do if I was in a similar situation. And I do love a book that makes me think.

It was super easy to read and, in the end, there were some author’s notes in which I found out that this was the 5th book of Erika Foster’s crime thriller series, so I’m looking forward to uncover and solve more crimes alongside this amazing character.

If you are into fictional crime stories I totally recommend this book, I assure you, you’ll read it in no time and you’ll be begging for more!

Everyday Makeup

I hardly have been wearing makeup lately, as I’m staying home as much as I can, but considering today was Mother’s Day, I wanted to look good for some pictures so, I got my Ultimate Nyx Palette, some eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick and went to town! Well, actually, my makeup is pretty simple, and that’s how I like it! So, this is how I do it: I take shade 1. and put it all over the lid, then I blend it out as much as I can. Sometimes, when I use too much shadow and I’m having a hard time blending, I like to take the first shade in the palette, that white/translucent color, and use it to help blend out the edges. Then I take shade 2. (a shimmery pinky bronze) with my finger and I apply that to the center of the lid for that beautiful pop! Unfortunately, the shimmers in this palette don’t come out with that wet effect that I would like, but it’s the best that I have for now. Finally, I take a smaller brush and apply shade 3. (a very light gold) in the inner cor

Quarantine Thoughts - Day 34

Today is still rainy outside. Since I couldn’t go out there and show you more garden stuff, I decided it was a good opportunity to clean, declutter and show you what’s in my makeup bag! Truth be told, I don’t remember the last time I wore makeup, but I’ve been feeling inspired to use some, so let’s start! I only own 5 brands of makeup so I separated all my items by brand, to make it easier to tackle. So, I’ll start with the brand I own most products of: Avon . From top to bottom, I have foundation, eye products and lip products. The foundation is nothing special, pretty day-to-day, low coverage foundation. For my eyes I have a green gel-stick eyeliner (I don’t even know...); a skin toned cream multipurpose pencil that I use under eyeshadow (so that the pigments show up better); a black gel-stick eyeliner; some mascara (does nothing for me) and a loose pigment purple eyeshadow. For the lips, I have a red lip pencil, followed by 4 red lipsticks, 2 pink lipsticks and

Antisocial: An experiment without social media

-
Image
  As technology evolved over the years, the ability to communicate and share our lives online became common, essential even. Nowadays, we carry some of the most important aspects of our lives in our pockets and most people would be horrified at the prospect of being a day (maybe even hours) without their phones. Some can admit social media is like an addiction to them, but most people I know (myself included) would disagree. I always thought I didn’t really need socials in my day-to-day, I only have them because I like taking pictures, checking up on my friends’ lives and that’s basically it. But lately I’ve been wondering what it would be like to not have social media at all. Would it make me more active? More depressed? That’s where the idea for an experiment came along. I decided I was going to delete all my social media from my phone for 7 days and record my thoughts and feelings about it. Are you ready?   Day 1 – No more procrastinating? I think my relationship with my
