How to choose the perfect engagement ring - Tips for Men

07:30 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments




Hi,loves!
This post will be quite different because it will be exclusive for guys!But it can also be for ladies,if you want to know how to choose the perfect diamond ring for yourself!
As you may already know,this year in April I got engaged (click HERE to read our story ) and I received an amazing diamond ring from my fiance,but what you do not know is that the ring that I'm wearing right now is the 3rd one,because i got it exchanged 2 times.Uhm...yes.
Sooo guys,if you want to marry your amazing lady this is what you have to do:




1.Take one of her rings with you at the shop
This will be the easiest way to know what size she has.
My fiance bought me a smaller ring,like 3 size smaller!So this was the first time when I changed my ring.


2.Ask her what kind of gold she prefers
Maybe she likes yellow gold,maybe white gold or maybe rose gold?Just ask her!
I really really didn't want a yellow gold engagement ring and I told my boyfriend many times,just to be sure.
Also,I would advise you not to go for the 9ct gold.why?Because it's not resistent in time,and even after a couple of months you can see very visible scratches,so go for the 18ct and 24 ct gold.

3.Know what kind of diamond to choose.
Ok,now this is tricky.If you want to buy her a diamond ring between let's say between 100 £- 5000 £ or more,you must know that all those kind of diamonds have impurities.We didn't know that.
They are even clasified ,you can read all about it on wikipedia and they come in different shades too!
So if you want to buy her a diamnod ring,do not hesitate to ask the shop assistant for magnification lens and also look at the diamond at natural light!Make sure that the impurity is not very visible!!




4.Best time to buy the engagement ring?When you're ready :) and of course, Sale season! July -August and January.

Hope this post helped you.

Warm bath favourites: Review Lush & Yorkshire Soap

21:36 Cupcake Splendens 5 Comments




Hello,loves!
I can't believe it...when will it be sunny outside? 13 degrees ...Are you kidding me?
Don't panic,don't panic.I know what I will do!




Pour a glass of Martini and add a piece of lime ,grab my new book that I just bought 3 days ago from a local charity shop (Lauren Conrad  - Sugar and Spice ) and turn on the water in the bathtub.
But ...I really do not know which bathbomb should I choose...Can you help me?



Lush-

You can simply feel the smell of a Lush Shop from 10 meters away.It's sweet,fruity and you simply cannot resist it.
When I went in the shop,in a corner ,a lady was showing the bathbombs to other customers and my human curiosity took me in that direction.



I just had to buy these 2 lovely bubble bars.They smell amazing and they color the water ,making it so pretty!You don't have to use one big piece for a bath,just 1/4 of it and the best part is that you can combine the two of them!



The only inconvenient is that they're a little bit pricey and if you don't use them in 2-3 months they will not make anymore bubbles and will no longer dissolve easily.


Yorkshire Soap

Everytime I go to this shop I buy at least 3-4 bathbombs.I simply can't help it.Also,their soaps are so cute!!!Everytime I go in this shop I tell myself that the next time I will buy a cupcake-soap...well maybe next time. :P

Some of the products that I bought in time:


Bath bombs- a real delight!The pink one is my favourite one,it makes the water pink and smells like berries.

I absolutely love these cupcake-like bath products.
After using them my skin feels babysoft and they have different smells too.

So...which one should I choose ?

Review&Swatch: My first MAC lipstick

23:42 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments



Hey! :)

When we came back from our trip from Spain,at the airport we bumped into a MAC store...I couldn't have been more excited.
Knowing that the prices in the UK are a little bigger,I was more than happy to pay around 13 pounds for this amazing lipstick.


Close-up:


Swatch:




So this is the shade that I got,I wanted a lipstick that I can wear during the day,but also in the evening.A little bit metallic,but also a little bit matte.


What I love about it is that it's longlasting , I apply it in the morning and after 5 hours it still looks great.
Also,a big plus is that it's a hydrating lipstick.So if your lips are chapped don't worry,this lipstick  will not look ridiculos on you.


I also wanted to buy a black eyeliner MAC,because I've seen so many good reviews but it was sold out .Maybe next time .

Tell me,do you have any Mac products?Which one is your favourite?

kisses,

How to handle stress

23:15 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments




Hi,loves!
Sometimes life throws too many rocks in our way and it makes it difficult for us to keep going on.
We have problems at work,with our loved ones,even with ourselves...How do we cope with this?
This is my method of keeping up in this always changing world:

1.Make some tea

It is scientifically proved that water calmes us ,especially warm water.When I'm stressed I always drink tea, peppermint and chamomile are my favourite flavours.
Also,taking a warm bath helps.I always use nice smelling bath bombs that color the water .



2.Listen to relaxing music and light up your favourite candle

If you are listening to the right music it can be like therapy.If you are sad don't listen to sad songs,it will make you feel even worse.Try some relaxing/meditation music.
I always use home fragrance oils or parfumed candles,my favourite one is Aloe and Soft Linen Home Fragrance Oil from The Body Shop.



3.Go for a massage

There's nothing better for relaxing a stressed body than a massage.It may not be so expensive as you think,so give it a try,even for half an hour.You will feel so energised!

4.Treat yourself!
This is my favourite part.
If I come stressed from work,I always treat myself with small things that make me feel better: I eat some fresh strawberrys,I buy myself some fresh flowers,if I don't want to cook that day I just go to the pub and eat some good food or do what I wrote at (1),(2),(3).




5.Talk to someone about your problems.

Sometimes things get so hard for us that we feel that nobody understands us and what  we are going through.
Talk to your loved ones,maybe they see things differently and can give you really good advice.
Whenever I have a problem,I always discuss it with my fiance or my parents because I like to have more solutions ,it makes me go easier through it all.


6.Always tell yourself: Everything will be fine

Whatever problem you might have right now: at work,with your family or friends...everything will be fine.
Just remember to stay positive.If your job stresses the hell out of you,just quit.This is what I did  just 2 months ago.
If you have family problems...eventually everything will get sorted out.Just have faith and patience.Stressing yourself out will not help you with anything...believe me.
If you are bullied...just stay true to yourself and don't let others people opinion define you.
I've also been in that position more than 10 years ago,I thought that I will never get through it and it will never end,but hey...I'm here.And I am doing just fine and have enough people to love me just the way I am. :)

I really hope that my article helped you even a little,and if you have any problems,feel free to contact me. :)

OOTD: Clubbing Outfit

19:28 Cupcake Splendens 6 Comments




        Hi,loves!
It's been a while since I last posted a OOTD,and even more since I last went clubbing,so I said ok,why not do both? :D
Also,why not wear my little pink dress with my light blue stilettos?




I bought my dress from H&M a couple of months ago and I really like the shape of the dress ,I think that it looks good on many body types.


I really love my Jessica Buurman shoes,they look so pretty !
I am not a highheel kinda lady,but I can promise you that these stilettos are comfy!




You can buy the shoes from jessica buurman and the dress from H&M.

Do you usually go clubbing?How do you dress for a fun night?


kisses,

Hot Trend: Flash Tattoos

09:30 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments

Hello,loves!
It's summer,it's hot outside,it's festival season...and no festival season is complete without Flash Tattoos!
This is the newest,hottest trend and I just had to give it a shout.



I received in my Flash Tattoos in the latest edition of Glossybox before going to Spain on holiday,so I had the chance to wear them at the beach.
This is how you apply a Flash Tattoo:

1.Cut the model that you want to use


2.Apply the model on your clean skin so it can stick well

3. Put water on it for 1 min


4.Remove the paper


5.Let it dry for 1-2 mins


Now that was simple!I think that it looks gorgeous!





Show me your Flash Tattoos!:D

22:11 Cupcake Splendens 5 Comments




Hello!

I am so happy right now...it's SALE season! Sales,sales everywhere!!
You can't resist the temptation,believe me; small prices , nice things,I had to do a little bit of shopping.
This is what I bought:


Sports Direct
The store is closing,so they're having huge discounts.I always need more tops,it seems that I never have enough/can't find them when i need them so 2 tops for 6 pounds was a steal.I had to buy them... and look at the colors!Love them.




From Wilko I bought this gorgeous Essence Lipstick .The color is nude-ish,and it was super cheap,around 2.80 .




Victoria's Secret
Ah...my favourite shop!All the panties were for only 5 pounds so I had to buy quite a few,and I also bought a very sexy corset that was 50% off, and I payed for it 44.50 .




I was also looking for wedding rings but they are so expensive...I'll leave that for now.


What's your favourite store/brand?
