Seventeen Super Shine Nail Polish - 313

Hello again! I just wanted to post a picture of this wonderful colour from Seventeen. It's the Seventeen Super Shine Nail Polish in shade 313. It's a nice red-cherry colour. I really like Seventeen nail polishes they are creamy and you can apply it easily but they tend to chip very fast, but if you use a base and a top coat it can last longer. Please Seventeen fix your formula. I applied base and one coat and it looks very good. The colour is very concentrated!

Blackfield - End of the world - Live In New York City


One of my favourite songs of all time. In the first video it's live.... I really like Blackfield. This song make me think about all the disasters and all the bad times this world has gone through.... Like wars, earthquakes etc.  Give love to everyone near you. And remember... Life is for the Living!

"It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is God
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise"

Angus & Julia Stone - For You [Live in Paris]

I love this song.... Her voice is amazing!


Phyto Phytophanere Supplement for thicker hair and stronger nails

So.. This summer my hair are falling like crazy. Maybe because i am i little bit stressed? Maybe it's my diet? I don't know. So, i decided to go to the pharmacy and check out some products or vitamins for hair loss. I read in a few articles that Iron, and B12 defficiency may cause hair loss. I have Iron and B12 deficiency since i was 15! I have taken lots of vitamins and stuff and finally this winter i managed to get the iron and B12 levels in a good balance. Maybe i have a deficiency again?? Maybe i should do some more tests.

The phamasist suggested me to take a vitamin supplement called Phyto Phytophanere. It was very expensive compared to other vitamins but they had sales so let's say that the price was OK. It normally costs around 40 euros and i bought it 30. It contains 120 capsules and these last for 2 months. The suggested dose is 2 capsules per day. Compared to the other vitamins for hair loss it contains more capsules and it lasts longer so i guess the price was ok.

Phyto - Phytophanere
Phyto - Phytophanere


I didn't know the brand so when i returned home i googled and i found that it's a French brand and i also found many results on how effective this product is... I don't know, time will tell... I am using it for 2 weeks now.. At the end of August or the begging of September i will tell you my results. I think that my nails are getting stronger but i never had a problem with my nails, i am just trying to avoid the hair loss and i want my hair to grow longer faster (althought the products is not about growing hair faster, but healthier hair).

Bellow i am going to write to you some parts from the leaflet inside the package of the product.

"Phytophanere complement your daily nutritional diet, working as a food supplemet. Phytophanere  provides t he vitamins and the essential fatty acids needed for beautiful healthy hair and nails. 

Vitamin E - α-TOCOPHEROL: Wheat germ oil is a natural source of α-TOCOPHEROL (vitamin E). Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant found in essential fatty acids. 
γ-ORYZANOL: It is a protective agent for both essential fatty acids and delicate vitamins, which are antioxidants and free radial scavengers. 
Essential Fatty Acids: These fatty acids are called "essentials" since they are not produced by the human body but they must be supplied through a balanced diet. 
Essential Fatty Acids in Phytophanere come from two sources: 
  • Borage Oil which is extracted from the seeds is a source of Linoleic Acid and γ-Linoleic essential fatty acids. Borage seed oil is remarkable for its high  γ-Linoleic acid content, a precursor of prostaglandines which are essential for the healthy functioning of cells.
  • Fish Oil, extracted from cold water fish, due to the particular metabolism of these fishes, is rich in essential fatty acids such as Eicosapentaenoic acid and Docosahexaenoic acid, precursor of specific prostaglandines Omega 3 and Omega 6. These are the ingredients that balance and regulate the function of the skin. 
Brewer's Yeast: The Brewer's Yeast is a major source of B vitamins. These B vitamins, especially Biotin (Vitamin B8), Phantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) and Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) are essential for the production of sebum which is necessary for the beauty as well as the suppleness of hair and nails. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is well known because it is indispensable for the production of energy. In addition, there are specific components in Brewer's Yeast such as sulfured amino acids (Cysteine) necessary to the natural balance and the beauty of hair. "

Bellow i am showing you a picture of my hair in order to compare it with the picture at the end of my treatment. I just dyed my hair so we are going to see my roots! :)
Has anyone tried this product? What are your impressions on this??

Σολωμός & Κολοκυθάκια με 2 διαφορετικές σος / Salmon and & zucchini with 2 different sauces

Λοιπόν σήμερα σκέφτηκα να μαγειρέψω κάτι σπέσιαλ. (Είμαι φοιτήτρια, οπότε το παρακάτω φαγητό είναι σπέσιαλ για μένα). Έκανα λοιπόν σολωμό ψητό στο φούρνο με μια σος η οποία έχει γιαούρτι μουστάρδα και λεμονάκι και κολοκυθάκια στον ατμό με μια σος από γιαούρτι άνηθο σκόρδο κλπ.

salmon
Yummy! Finished Dish:P

Υλικά για τον Σολωμό και την σος:
Σολωμός
Αλάτι
Πιπέρι
Σκόρδο
Χυμός λεμόνι

(δεν σας γράφω ποσότητες γιατί όλα είναι θέμα γούστου, γευτείτε το φαγητό σας καθ' όλη την διάρκεια του μαγειρέματος)

Για την σος για τον σολωμό:
Χυμός λεμόνι
Ξύσμα λεμονιού
Γιαούρτι
Μουστάρδα
Αλάτι
Λίγο Πιπέρι

Οι δοσολογίες εξαρτώνται με το πώς θέλετε να είναι η σος σας. Θέλετε να έχει πιο πολύ λεμόνι? Πιο πολύ μουστάρδα? Ξέρετε εσείς από τέτοια είμαι σίγουρη.

Βάλτε τον σολωμό σε ένα ταψί, ρίξτε του λεμονάκι, αλάτι, πιπέρι, βάλετε και το σκόρδο και ψήστε το σε προθερμασμένο φούρνο (θερμοκρασία δεν σας λέω γιατί πάει αναλόγως τον φούρνο). Μην το παραψήσεται. Ο σολωμός πρέπει να είναι ροζ, μαλακός και να λιώνει στο στόμα. Όσο για την σος... Ανακατέψτε όλα τα υλικά μαζί και περιχύστε με αυτήν το ψάρι.

Τα κολοκυθάκια εγώ τα έκανα στον ατμό, αλλά εσείς μπορείτε να τα κάνετε βραστά ή και ψητά στο γκριλ.

Για την σος για τα κολοκυθάκια θα χρειαστείτε:
Χυμός λεμόνι
Γιαούρτι
Άνηθο
Σκόρδο (εγώ έβαλα μια σκελίδα)
Αλάτι

Τα αναμιγνύεται όλα μαζί και περιχύνεται με αυτήν τα κολοκυθάκια.

Το πιάτο αυτό είναι ελαφρύ και είναι ότι πρέπει για το καλοκαιράκι, για όσους κάνουν δίαιτα ή προσέχουν την διατροφή τους. Ποιος είπε ότι διατροφή και γεύση δεν πάνε μαζί?
Αν βαριέστε να κάνετε και τις δύο σος κάντε μόνο την μια ταιριάζει και με τα δύο.


Well today I cooked something special. (I'm a student, so the this food is a special food for me). So, I roasted salmon with a sauce that has mustard and lemon yogurt and zucchini steamed with a sauce of yogurt dill garlic etc. 


Materials for salmon and sauce: 

Salmon 
Salt 
Pepper 
Garlic 
Lemon juice 

(I do not you write you the volumes because everything is a matter of taste, taste your food throughout the cooking time) 

For the sauce for salmon: 
Lemon juice 
Lemon zest 
Yogurt 
Mustard 
Salt 
Little Pepper 

The dosage depends on how you want the sauce you. You want more lemon? More mustard? You know such things I'm sure. 

Put the salmon in a baking dish, pour the lemon, salt, pepper, and put the garlic and bake in preheated oven (I don't tell you the temperature because it depends on the oven). Do not overcook your food. Salmon should be pink, soft and melting in your mouth. As for the sauce... Mix all ingredients together and pour it at your fish. 

I steamed the zucchinis, but you can boil them or roast them on the grill. 

For the sauce for the zucchini you will need: 
Lemon juice 
Yogurt 
Dill 
Garlic (I put a clove) 
Salt 

You mix all together and pour it on the zucchini. 

This dish is light and is a must for the Summer, for those dieting or watching their diet. Who said that nutrition and taste do not go together?
If you are bored to make both sauces then make one of them. It is good for both the zucchinis and the salmon.

Urban Gardening! (Curly Endives/Αντίδια)

Well not that I'm urban gardener ... but lets say that i am! :P A few days ago, I went to buy curly endives and they gave them to me with the roots. And I thought.... Why not try to plant them in a flower pot? And i did! I hope they grow really fast so that i can taste them!

Καλά όχι ότι είμαι και urban gardener... αλλά λέμε τώρα! Και που λέτε είχα πάει στην λαϊκή πριν μερικές μέρες να πάρω αντίδια και μου δώσανε τα αντίδια με την ρίζα και σκέφτηκα.... Γιατί να μην δοκιμάσω να τα φυτεψω σε μια γλαστρούλα?? Και ναι! Έπιασαν! Ελπίζω σύντομα να μεγαλώσουν και να τα δοκιμάσω!

Seventeen Super Shine Nail Color - 493

Χτές έβρεχε οπότε είπα να τα κάνω κάπως πιο σκούρα τα νύχια μου. Έτσι τα έβαψα με το Seventeen Super Shine Nail Color χρώμα 493, το οποίο είναι κάπως σαν μαυρο-μώβ. Γενικά μαρέσει η Seventeen. Σύντομα θα σας δειξω σε ένα άλλο πόστ ένα τέλειο χρώμα κραγιόν που πήρα για το καλοκαιράκι το οποίο είναι κάπως πορτοκαλοκοραλί. Γενικά μαρέσει αρκετά και η σελίδα και τα φυλλάδια της Seventeen γιατί έχουν κάποια έτοιμα Looks με την Μαριέττα Χρουσαλά και σου λέει τι προϊόντα να χρησιμοποιήσεις και πώς έτσι ώστε να επιτύχεις το look. Αν δεν κάνω λάθος η Seventeen είναι ελληνική μάρκα....

Μάσκα μαλλιών με αυγό / Natural Hair Mask with egg

Hello, hellooo !! Some days ago I found a recipe for a natural hair mask, witch is very good and most of all NATURAL .

Ingredients:
6 tablespoons of yogurt
1 egg
1 tablespoon of vinegar

Mix them all together and then apply it to your hair and leave it for half an hour! Use as much as you want depending on your hair.. Egg and yogurt are very hydrating for your hair and vinegar are going to make them shine! Don't be afraid of the smell! I also read in an article that women in India do egg hair masks very often in order to grow faster hair.Egg is full with vitamins of the B-complex, A, D, and E. B-complex vitamins are supposed to be very good for your hair! So, while waiting with your mask in your hair, eat an egg!!! It's good for you and it is not fattening. :P:P:P hehehe I hope that helps! After the 30 minutes, wash your hair thoroughly applying first the shampoo and massage it in your head and then the water. This way the dirt will go off your head faster.. Then wash another time as you do... water and then shampoo!


Helloooo! Πρίν από μερικές μέρες ανακάλυψα μια φυσικλη μάσκα μαλλιών που βγήκε αρκετά καλή.

Συστατικά:
6 κουταλιές της σούπας γιαούρτι
1 Αυγό
1 κουταλιά της σούπας Ξύδι

Ανακατέψτε τα όλα μαζί και βάλτε στα μαλλία σας όση ποσότητα χρειάζεστε. Αφήστε το για περίπου μισή ώρα. Μη αϊδιάσετε από την μυρωδία! Είναι για καλο :p :p :p  Είχα διαβάσει και σε ένα άρθρο ότι οι γυναίκες στην Ινδία κάνουν πολύ συχνά μάσκες μαλλιών με αυγό έτσι ώστε να μακρύνουν τα μαλλιά τους πιο γρήγορα. Το αυγό και το γιαούρτι είναι πολύ ενυδατικά και γένικα αν σκεφτεί κανείς πόσες βιταμίνες έχουν.... Έίναι πλούσια σε βιταμίνες Β, οι οποίες είναι απαραίτητες για τα μαλλία μας. Συγκεκριμένα έχει  Α, D, E, όλες τις Β-complex βιταμίνες, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του φολικού οξέως. Επίσης είναι πλούσια σε ιχνοστοιχεία όπως σίδηρο, κάλιο, φώσφορο, ιώδιο κ.λπ... όποτε την ώρα που περιμένετε να περάσει το μεσάωρο με την μάσκα στο κεφάλι, φάτε κ ένα αυγουλάκι!! χεχε δεν παχαίνει! Αφού περάσει το μεσάωρο και έχετε φάει κ το αυγουλάκι σας ξεβγάλτε τα μαλλία σας. Βάλτε πρώτα σαμπουάν στα μαλλιά σας, κάντε απαλό μασάζ και μετά βάλτε κ λίγο νεράκι. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο καθαρίζουν καλύτερα τα μαλλία σας... Μετά ξεβγάλτε τα και μια δεύτερη φορά, αλλα αυτή την φορά με τον κανονικό τρόπο... νερό....σαμπουάν!
Αυτα λοιπον!

Deodorants - Antiperspitants. Natural deodorant

A few months ago i saw a documentary on television about personal care and beauty products and the chemicals they contain. I also read in some articles i found online that many studies support that deodorants and antiperspirants which contain aluminum are considered guilty of causing breast cancer. What these products do is to clog your pores in order for you not to sweat and this is bad because your skin cannot breathe and the aluminum is passing down to your breast. The part of your breast that is near the armpit is the most vulnerable for breast cancer. On the other hand some believe that all these accusations are not scientifically proven. But, what should we do? Every day i hear something new about all these chemicals. Are they trying to confuse us? I believe that in personal care everyone...woman or man must try to use more natural products. I recently bought a deodorant from a company that makes natural products and it is called Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal. It is Hypoallergenic, Paraben/PG Free, Aluminum Free. I also like the Greek companies KORRES and APIVITA. Actually i have an eye cream, a face mask and a sunscreen from KORRES so i suppose i will do a review soon. KORRES is a very good company. I tried some samples of their products a few months ago and i was quite impressed!

Here is the website: http://www.naturallyfreshdeodorantcrystal.com/
And the website i bought it from that ships in Europe: http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/





Chanel Pro Lumiere Professional Finish Makeup

Eight months ago my cousin buy me as a present Chanel Pro Lumiere. Pro Lumiere is a Professional Finish Makeup with spf 15! I really like makeup to have a Spf because i believe that the sun is one of the most damaging things for the skin.
By the way my color is 10 - NUDE!
So let's list the pros and cons for this make up!

Pros:

- SPF 15 -very important for me!
- 30 ml / 1 Fl.Oz. I have this make up for 8 months and i finished only tha half of it!
- It has a pump! Which is good because you don't lose product!
- It's an oil free formula
- You can build it up! You can wear a small amount of product for natural look or you can build it up for full coverage!
- It stays on you all day!
- It is very hydrating! One day i put some of my makeup on my mother's face and she told me that she feel her face more moistorized!
- Classic nice and elegant Chanel packaging! - i tell that because most of people DO look on the packaging-

Cons:
- Ok, it is expensive!
- But... this makeup is definatelly going to last you for a year! I do not put on my face a small amount. I put a medium amount and still i haven't finished my bottle!
- It is semi-matte! (This is not bad for all people). But if you don't want semi-matte finish you can user a powder after you apply your make up!

I will definately buy this product again! Or maybe the Mat Lumiere for a change!
I prefer to give some extra money and have a nice quaality makeup instead of buying a makeup every 2-3 months!
If you do the calculations the Chanel makeup is cheaper because you actually use it for a year!
