Wanderlust-My trip to Croatia, Europe! (Part I of III)

Hello Dolls,

I had the most incredible experience traveling abroad this past summer. For a week and a half, I visited Croatia, and it was truly unforgettable. I had been praying, preparing, sacrificing, and planning for this trip since the end of last year, so the anticipation built up over months. As always, the planning phase felt much longer than the trip itself—time always seems to fly by when you're in the midst of it. This was my first time in Europe, so it was an extra special treat. 🌍

Every time I travel, I learn something new about myself. This trip taught me to simply be and truly live in the moment. What did that look like for me? I stopped obsessing over how many days were left on my trip (which I tend to do) and put away my phone—no more constant pictures or social media posts. Instead, I focused on the experience itself. ✨

During my time there, I had the opportunity to join several tours, and I'd love to share a few highlights from my journey. I don't want to overwhelm you all with too many details, so I'm breaking my highlights up into three parts. 😊

Boat Cruise + Tour of Opatija

One of the first tours that I experienced was lunch cruise around the Adriatic sea. 🌊It was a beautiful day, it started off raining but then it tapered off. After the cruise, we did a walking tour of Opatija. This was my first time witnessing the true beauty of Croatia. 🌴What captivated me most were its lush green landscapes.

We dined at Capuciner Ristorante Bistro for dinner, the ravioli was delicious

Trakoscan Castle + Vygkecbreg Tour

A few days later we visited a real life castle. 🏰 The tour was intriguing. The castle had at least three floors, we were able to tour the entire castle and get our steps in. We got our steps in this entire trip. 😉 After the tour, we indulged in a delicious Tuscan-style lunch at a winery. 🍷🍝

Did you know that Croatia once had thousands of castles— but today, only about 100 remain?

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Mac, Inglot Haul + Swatches

Hey, Glamour Dolls! I'm back with another haul, I surprised myself by buying another haul so soon after the other one, but; I work hard... (shrugs) and I deserve it! Read on to see what I purchased and my thoughts. Click the pics to enlarge. Lippies I've been wanting Up the Amp lipstick for a while as well as Viva Glam Nicki and I'm pleased with the both of them. Up the Amp is a lavender violet color, it reminds me of a softer version of Violetta lipstick from Mac. I'm really not a fan of violet lipsticks (go figure) so, I pair it with a brown lip liner and it mutes the color down perfectly for me. Viva Nicki is gorgeous a beautiful yellow-pink color. I'm going to do a lip of the day, so you all can see how it looks. I've heard that Viva Nicki is going to be around for 1 full year, I'm definitely going to get a few more tubes. Blush I bought Sweet as Cocoa blush last month and I finally got Dollymix blush, it was on my Mac wishl...

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger, Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red in...
