home spa

Okay, I have absolutely no idea why I'm doing some beauty stuff on my blog, but here we go.

Inspired by my last visit to Lush store I thought why I couldn't make all those natural beauty products by myself.

I decided to start with the easiest one - coffee body scrub.

Take some fresh coffee grounds, 2-3 spoonfuls will do. Add some olive oil and little bit honey and mix it all up. You can also add some salt or raw sugar and some essential oil for good aroma.

I know, it looks quite disgusting but believe me, it the most effective body scrub you've ever used. And probably the cheapest as well.

Peacock

Have an awesome New Year's Eve and wonderful new year!

Made this one for myself earlier today. Probably too much for everyday wear but maybe for tonight...

Finished that one while ago. It was actually quite easy to make. Didn't even use any patterns, though that's probably the reason it turned out too big but I'm still satisfied. Use two different (mohair) yarns to achieve the effect;)

and the original one

behind the walls

Sorry I've been away for a while. I was quite busy working on a styling job for a photo shoot with Aleksandra Podburtnaja. Two days before the shoot the most terrible thing happened - I caught a cold. Not like 'fun, staying home from school, watching TV' sick but like very sick 'staying in bed all day long'. There was no way I could to the photo shoot in Tallinn. I was quite panicked out but in the end everything worked out. I sent the clothes to Tallinn and directed the shoot through mobile phone. It was quite humourous, I must say. Now I'm very excited to see the final result. At the moment I have four behind-the-scenes photos to show you. Did I mention that the shoot took place in a old, ice cold prison? At this point I'm glad I didn't have to be there...
