Sleepless nights

     Tonight is another one of my sleepless nights... I usually try to welcome them with open heart and positive mindset,even though they are exhausting me, they are still mine..  When it happens I make big cup of my favorite coco, add a little cinnamon to it, sometimes even honey.
     I try to look for inspiration during the night hours, a poem, song or a painting.. I try to find myself through art, find what speaks to me, makes me feel something.
Tonight I came across this poem by Brian Patten:

I have changed the numbers on my watch,
And now perhaps something else will change.
Now perhaps
At precisely 2a.m.
You will not get up
And gathering your things together
Go forever.
Perhaps now you will find it is
Far too early to go,
Or far too late,
And stay forever

March Favorites

March to me was full of running around, working, getting inspired by most random things and missing my dance classes and home country .. To cope with my nostalgia I did find dance studio, right next to where I live ( might be taking flamenco classes!!!) and was listening to polish music all the time, which made my neighbors so happy ...   In between all of that I was trying some new haircare and skincare products that I really loved, unfortunately I didn't find anything worthy form the makeup department.

1.Soothing Sheet Mask Oatmeal by St.Ives

Came across this sheet face mask while walking around beauty department in Target ( the only place I actually seen this mask ) and decided to give it a chance. To be honest I am not a big fan of St. Ives products, they simply don't do anything for my skin, but this oat mask was a game changer! I put it on after a long, busy day at work, looking for a quick way to "calm down" my skin. The results were amazing! My skin felt so soothed, even the puffiness and swelling around my eyes went down.
Would recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin, looking for a hydration boost.

To buy : St.Ives oat face mask

2. Pixi by Petra glow face Tonik

Bought a sample size in Target (probably the same trip as St.Ives mask) and used it only at night.
For the longest time, I wanted to add the chemical peels to my skincare and didn't know where to start. There is so much information out there, all those peels that sound so promising, yet intimidating and the price of the products is usually astronomical.
This little sample tube lasted for almost a week and I was so surprised when I have noticed a visible difference in my skin in a just weeks use! Made my face glow without over drying it, due to the glycolic acid, aloe, ginseng extract that remove the dull skin, leaving no irritation.  I ordered a full size of this tonik and it is already on the way!

3.Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque 

My hair "must have", "holy grail" and "one and only", I came back to this hair mask last month and I asked myself "Why have I stopped using it ? This stuff really works." It is great,thick cream mask, that makes my hair smooth and tangle free. It also feels like my hair is "heavier" in the positive sense after using it. I was able to stop combing my hair in the shower, I could feel how soft and silky my hair was right away. The only thing I would suggest is to rinse it off very well, not to leave any residue. I would suggest this mask for extra dry, chemically treated hair than need lots of moisture.

4.Justyna Steczkowska, polish singer 

Couple times a year, mostly during summer months and right before Christmas I tend to get very home sick... Like I wrote above I love to listen to polish music and this time it was Justyna Steczkowska, an amazing artist. She has this unique voice that reminds me of Enya, so angelic yet powerful.  I listen to her songs over and over (yes, I am one of those people), she made me feel just for a moment, like I was home again.. Can't put it to words, I guess only music has that power of expression..All I can say that if you are looking for somebody new, interesting to listen to, give Justyna Steczkowsa a try!
