Header image: Natalie HemengülAs a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
Practical solutions for everyday problems with technology, household hacks and much more.
Show allAs a beauty addict, I know exactly what I’d like to see in an Advent calendar – not those unnecessary and repetitive knick-knacks ready-made calendars from various brands usually contain. I find it really important that the gifts are useful and still include some small, colourful extras and experiments. Mini versions of everyday products that you can throw into your sports or school bag are a great choice. Add some fun with decorative beauty products such as eye shadow, nail polish and so on.
