Days of Beauty

I have this thing where I really like taking the time for beauty, but i have to spread it across more days if not I go bonkers.

So yesterday I went to the hairdresser and did my nails, and today I cleaned my skin and put on a facemark- which is the best one to clean out the skin.

But as always for me, my 'days of beauty' starts with a killer work- out! I was blasted by the end of this. I do Kayla Itsenes' workouts- they are great for me and exactly what I need! I have bought her work- out program HERE.

What I really love about them is that they are mostly based on using your body- weight, and not add on weights to a high degree. For me that is perfect, as weight lifting for my seemed to mess up my joints and neck a bit doing it in the past.

Yesterday I went to the hairdresser, which always ends up taking 2/3 hours. Now, I am very happy I am able to do this, but daaaaamn that is a long time for me to just sit still and look at my phone or read a magazine. I could of course bring a book, but for that I need my glasses and as you can see below, not exactly an easy thing to put on while the highlights sets...

By the way, lovely curls (albeit a bit too heavy on the 'Curly Sue' reference there) as I am walking out of the hairdresser, she told me- just 'ruffle' your hair a bit tomorrow and they should last... The day after, rather flat hair- my har really devours any texture given to it...

Went home and did my nails- there is no way I can go somewhere to do that, in any case I feel I got it under control myself and that way I can do it exactly whenever I want to.

Starting off with some nail polish remover, to remove any grease that will make the polish lift from the nail.

This one from Kiko is so good and practical!

Base coat. This is a Norwegian brand I think, but it does wonders to strengthen my nails in a way no other brand has been able to!

Two layers of colour, and then a top coat. Again, this is Kiko and a new gel nail polish I bought, let's see how long it stays on my nails.

And the result...

And then to the final part, my masques

. First the best cleansing mask from Origins and then sheet- eye patches from Sephora.

Ok, I feel ready for the weekend...;)

And last but not least, shoes of the day. <3 two of 'em... that happens when I am home during the day and step out multiple times I always have a tendency to change which ones I take.
