Week In Pictures # 34

I'm writing this on Sunday morning/night and my balcony door is open because after two weeks of polar cold, it's now back to 20+ degrees and I even managed to get some tanning done yesterday. The weather has definitely gone nuts, but that's not stopping us from taking pictures!

                                

1. Nail wheels at sunset 2. Yes, that's a melon! 3. The balloon love is still strong

4. My DIY gold candle jar 5. Outtakes

6. Best buds for at least two seasons 7. The pinks and purples have gathered! 8. New favorite combo?

How was your week? Autumn treating you well? I've accidentally discovered the best combination: green tea and apple syrup. Trust me, if you mix them you will not be drinking anything else. And this is coming from someone who has already consumed around 2 liters in a day.

The Burt's Bees Collection

I've come to the conclusion that Burt's Bees is one of,if not THE favorite beauty brand of mine. Of course there are holy grail products from other brands, but as a whole, the bees of Burt manage to produce a consistent array of body love perfection. 
That's why I figured it would be a great idea to show you some of the things that I own at the moment.

The Peach and Willow Bark Deep Pore Scrub  has become something I'm quite convinced I couldn't be able to live without. It has done things to my pores and skin in terms of cleansing that I never thought were possible. As you might suspect, I also did a review of it after much love had been exchanged.

In terms of cleansing, the Orange Essence Facial Cleanser is probably the nicest cleanser to my skin that I have ever experienced. Even if it has a gel-like texture, it behaves like the sweetest of foam/cream cleansers, even leaving your skin moisturized after use! I mean, who does that? And of course you can read all my raving here.

Last winter I also got the Lemon and Vitamin E Body Oil  that has been so nice to me! But I think right now, my skin is in a  "don't give me oils, I need thick butter!" moment due to the seasons changing and the less that joyful adjusting. This is my...third ( I think) bottle and it's a very useful thing to have. I carry it in my gym bag for body moisturizing after a workout.

The newest additions are the Beeswax and Bananas Hand Cream  which is a thick,delicious and super effective cream (review to follow asap!) and the Lemon Butter Cuticle Oil that I once slapped on my nails in  larger quantities before bed and woke up to non-breaking, super moisturized and insanely strong nails. I have a feeling nothing has and nothing will  work so fast ever again.

How do you get along with Burt? Are you also a fan?

Monday Nails inspired by Lorde's "Royals"

Here's the thing, I don't know if you have or have not heard Lorde's song called "Royals" , but that thing has been sticking to my brain. Mainly because of its simplicity. There's no musical masterpiece happening, nor are there any intricate instrumental moments happening, but it latches on to your brain and you're left singing "but we'll never be rooyal,rooooyaaaaaaaaaal" for the next 10 days.
Which brings us to our current nails. Just like the song, they're not too intricate or difficult to create, but I paired up two colors that scream "royal" to me: navy blue and gold.
I find them to be quite appropriately royal. Not too in your face, but then again,not plain. And most importantly, I can definitely envision them in the video of that song. Which I haven't seen...Is there a video to that song?

Either way, what do you think? Royal enough?
