Venice Italy

As I already mentioned in my previous post I have been living in Italy for a few month, I was lucky enough to live 60 km away from Venice, one of the most beautifulest cities I have ever seen. So I had the ocasion to visit Venice as well. Now what can I say about Venice, beside the fact that it is just like in the movies? Well I can say that it is definitely full of tourists, and I can understand why. The narrow streets, the old buildings with an incredible architecture, the water flowing through the city, the water taxies, the opening at the sea make this city an incredible place to visit. Without doubt this is a city like no other, which has a mesmerizing beauty that can't be described in words. If you ever have the oportunity to visit Venice I recommend that you take it, I promise you won't regret it. Just be sure you keep your money safe because iti is very crowded and there are a lot of beggars (sadly most of them are romanian gypsies) so it is better to be safe than sory. And if you want something to remember Venice you can always buy a Venice mask from one of the many shops and street sellers.

Cittadella Italy

So I haven't been blogging in a while because I moved to Italy for a few months and I had no internet where I was staying. But not I'm back in Romania where the internet speed is amazing so I am going to start blogging again. And what better way to start blogging after returning from Italy than about Italy. :)
In Italy I had the occasion to visit some wonderful places. One of them being the the Medieval walled city Cittadella, situated in the region of Veneto in northern Italy. The town is surrounded by a wall build by the Romans, of course the city has expended outside the wall over time but inside the old buildings of Cittadella stil stand. If you want you can even take a tour up on the wall, like the guards of the city once did, for the fee of 5 euros. In the begging of autumn ther is even a medieval festival that lasts for 3 days in which they recreate battles for the Medieval period, concerts and other events.

Vichy Gift Set

Vichy is a very generous brand, it always has gifts to offer, but this time I think they have outdone themselves with the gift set. When you buy a Vichy face cream or serum you get a whole box full of stuff which is all nightly wrapped in a box. So what do you get in the box? Well the boxes come with the same gift just the cream or serum that you buy is different, I bought the Normaderm Soin hydratant anti-imperfection global ( the moisturizer for acne prone skin and troubled skin) and the free stuf that I got is 50 ml Vichy thermal spring water, a 30 ml make-up remover which is also good for removing eye make-up, it is a cleansing milk and as a skin toner ( Purete Thermale 3 in one), a 15 ml hydrating creme ( Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Light Cream) and also two samples, one is Vichy Teint Ideal Iluminating foundation Ideal complexion revealer and the other one is Dercos Technique Energising Shampoo which targets hairloss plus a code to enter a contest to win a voucher at a Vichy Spa. I think that the gifts are very generous especially if you take in consideration that with Vichy a little goes a long way. Why is a very trustworthy brand and they know that there products are good so they almost always give you gifts so that you can decide to buy other products from them. The gift set is available in pharmacies all around Romania, I am not sure of other countries but Vichy is available world wide so they might have the gift sets also in other countries as well, and if not the probably have other gifts that come with there products.

Buzias Romania

There are a lot of beautiful places in Romania, sadly most of them are not that well maintained, but it is still nice to visit them. One of these places is the park in Buzias. What can be better on a hot summer day then to take a walk around the park to cool down a bit. And if you want to swim, well Buzias is known for its mineral water swimming pools. And if you are thirsty you can find a fountain with mineral water, there are several of them around town. The park in Buzias as open hallways build out of wood that go around the park, you almost fell like in a story when you walk around them.
        

Garnier Intensive 7 days hand cream SOS repair review

For those who are interested in buying a good hand cream but do not want to spend a lot of money a good brand to chose from is Garnier. I am not a big fan of cosmetic brands that you can buy in the supermarkets, because I have really sensitive skin, but I find Garnier is a brand that makes really good hand cream, at list it works for my skin. I have tried more of their hand creams, and I find them all to be quite nice, but the one I am currently using is the Intensive 7 days hand cream SOS repair and I am really pleased with it. Because I work with a lot of money and dust and wash my hands very often my hands are very chapped even though I use hand creme frequently. For about a week I have been using the Garnier Intensive 7 days hand cream SOS repair and I must say that has improved my skin a lot. The cream has a nice smell, not very strong, but I find that to be a good thing, I don't like my hand cream to have a strong scent. The price of course is another plus. All in all I find the Intensive 7 days hand cream to be a very good one and I will definitely purchase it again.

Coconut Oil Review

A good and cheap beauty tip is coconut oil. Coconut oil is very good for your hair, applying oil to your hair will help it grow faster and more healthier. It is true that the coconut oil is quite a pain to get out of your hair but if you shampoo 3 times you should be fine. Coconut oil is a very good hair conditioner, if you are out of hair conditioner oil your hair for half an hour before you wash it. Some people like to use coconut oil on there face as a moisturizer or instead of a facial cleanser but I have found that that will break you out over time, so I will not recommend it. Plus coconut oil is good for growing hair so would you really like to use it on your face? You can also use coconut oil in combination with other oils for good hair mask, or you can mix it with honey and vitamins. The smell is also a big plus, I find the smell of coconut amazing, but if you don't like it don't worry it is not very persistent. All in all I find coconut oil to be amazing for hair, but for the skin I would not recommend it.

Herbalife herbal aloe strengthening shampoo review

Recently I have been trying out a new shampoo, it is the herbal aloe strengthening shampoo from Herbalife. I would like to mention that I am not affiliated with Herbalife in any way, I just bought their shampoo and this is my honest opinion on it. Now I must say that I am in love with this shampoo. I even find it to be better for my hair then the ones from Vichy Normaderm, and you know me I am in love with Vichy. Sorry Vichy, but don't worry we still have skincare. The Herbalife shampoo is a very natural shampoo, paraben free and SLS free, which is always nice when it comes to a product. The smell of the shampoo is amazing and it cleans hair very very well without leaving it dry or brittle. The hair remains soft and it does fell clean without being stripped and finally no more dandruff, not the tiniest bit, at list for now will see how it goes over further use. The hair does not get grease fast, it takes a couple of days and it does not become that gross grease but more like I know I should wash my hair but it is not a tragedy if I don't do it today. The tube in which it comes in is very practical, and the amount is ok for the price and quality. All in all I am very satisfied with this shampoo and I can see myself purchasing another bottle.
