When was last
time you did something for the first time?
I’m starting this new experience of
blogging with hope of sharing all things beautiful… and natural! While
exploring new products to try, I often have trouble finding reviews or swatches
for some of them. I’m still not hundred percent converted to natural makeup,
but I’m doing my best to finally do it and get rid of the bad-ingredient leftovers
in my makeup drawer. So, in my blog I will review natural/organic items as well
as share other details of my life (shopping, trips, everyday events, etc.). I
don’t want to limit myself just to skincare/makeup, so I will be flexible with
the topics I write about. I want to have fun with my writing, and not to be
boring for myself. Yet, I really hope my product reviews will be helpful to
others when deciding to try something new and to choose something better for
oneself.
So, let’s get
down to business.
Few weeks
ago I was visiting my friends/went to a birthday party in New York. Oh, how I
love the city! I get charged with energy once I get there, so no wonder I’ve
been travelling to NYC so many times during the past year. I got so used to
these trips that I even don’t take pictures anymore, and just enjoy the things
I do. However, since I had this blog in my mind during my recent trip, I did put
my iPhone’s camera to work.
This was my first time at the Grand Central station. It was a fun experience to do some shopping (did I mention I'm a tea addict?), to visit the market and to learn the secrets of the station itself.

Shopping is the exciting
part of my weekend getaways to The Big Apple! I check out the
brands and stores that I don’t have back home. I know, I know, the almighty internet
can help me with that, but I still like the touching part (seeing is believing!).
Even my friends know that I have to visit every Whole Foods I see as I always
find something different from what I find at Whole Foods here since
different regions carry different brands. For this reason I was taken to Mrs.
Green’s, and I did find a few things to try. P.S. One thing I still need to get is
NYC magnet.

I was really curious to visit Henri Bendel. I got my card case personalized (bought it online a while ago) and while in store I got tempted by this beautiful train case, which I got personalized too. It was perfect for my trip home!

While in NYC, I always get Sante eyebrow pencil in color "blonde" (this time I got two) - it never fails to give me perfect eyebrows! This time I also got Sante "lip duo contour & gloss" dual ended lip pencil in color "nude look". Weleda's creamy wash in not something I cannot get at home, but I didn't find the "citrus" one at my usual store, so I got during my trip (Whole Foods has an amazing sale on Weleda products currently!).
