How to not get crazy when you have a fringe.

A garrulous picture by the amazing Cassandra Calin 

Girls have a special gift. Or a curse in disguise. They constantly long for a change. Why, you may ask, dear reader?  To be honest, anything can be a change catalyst, starting from a failed exam, bad breakup, bad hair day,,, really, anything.

The last day before Christmas I visited my ophtalmologist to get my sight tested, because I had headache like every single day and I couldn´t see a thing. Of course, she found out that my sight got way worse than it was before and I needed new glasses. When I closed the door behind me, I saw that the shop selling glasses opposite to the doctor just opened. I decided to take a look and what did I end up doing? I bought new glasses. The Marciano by Guess ones, with rhinestones decorating the top.
After Christmas, when I got to test them out, I decided to get a french fringe, because I thought it will look great. And it does, don´t get me wrong. It just sometimes drives me crazy. But eventually, I found my way around it and because I know how crazy it can get, here´s what I do:

My Rowenta blowdryer with a slim end
 Blow-dry the living heck out of them.
I hate blow-drying my hair, because I am lazy. However, I found out that if you blow-dry your fringe right after you was it, you can style it how ever you want to. So here´s what I do: I just blow-dry my bangs and let the rest of my hair dry naturally. A lazy girl´s approach to styling your hair.

Wash it, girl.
I know that washing your hair every day can be a pain in the ass, but if you wash only your bangs, it´s quite bearable. Than you can blow-dry it and style it right away and it´s going to look great!


 Round brush is your friend.
A small round brush comes in handy
Use a small round brush instead of your regular brush. It will help give your fringe volume and besides, drying your hair  with a round brush is way faster.

Easy with the face cream.
I know I know... It´s important to moisturize your face, especially in winter, when it can get quite dry.  But for your fringe´s sake, go easy on your forehead.  I even started avoiding my forehead because it can get quite oily under the layer of hair, but still kept my face safe and moisturized. And don´t freak out, you beauty guru lovers, it works!

Loreal Mythic Oil
A little bit of oil goes a long way. 
When I went to my hairdresser´s, I got this amazing hair oil as a gift. It works wonders on my lenght, however, I don´t put as much on my fringe. First I massage it into the rest of my hair and when I have the minimum of the product on my palms, I go quickly through my bangs.

How ever strange these steps may seem, they wirk, trust me. And what´s more important, they keep me from getting crazy and regretting to ever get a fringe.


Until next time,
čauko, Lenka :)

Another art-related ramble.

A few weeks ago, I talked about how drawing, painting or just doodling mindlessly is a great psycho hygiene for me. It helps me calm down my thoughts and shut down my brain for a while, just like meditation would. It started with a printing paper and markers from my local supermarket. Just the combination of the two made me happy. Then I started watching videos of other people drawing and I saw these double-ended alcohol-based markers that didn´t leave all those nasty unaesthetic streaks that the cheap markers always did. I was amazed, shocked, in love. Of course, my first way led me to my computer; I started searching for the markers and of course I found them… aaand I also saw their price, which wasn´t so lovable. I wasn´t very eager to buy something so expensive to use only as a hobby. So, I let it go. But then, couple of days later, I talked to a friend who draws illustrations professionally. He told me that the expensive markers are amazing, but they are not the only optio...

Skincare that doesn´t break your bank.

  I am a firm believer of the idea that makeup is there to cover anything we don´t want others to see, however, why cover something if we can work some skincare magic so there´s nothing to cover? I got this idea from one of my favourite French women Violette_fr and once I jumped on the skincare wagon, there was no turning back. Saying this, I do love me some lotions, serums or toners... However, I don´t really opt for all those steps and extensive routines that I see some of the other women do, nor do I buy all the overpriced product that are presented to me on social media. Not that I don´t treat myself to something special from time to time... But I took time and found out what really works for me and let me tell you, majority of the products are from my local drugstore and I swear by them! And, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to introduce them to you right this second: CLEANSING: Of course, when preparing for the bed time you have to start with wiping a...

2017 recap and resolutions I am not going to keep in 2018

Happy New Year everyone! The time has come to sum up everything that happened (and didn´t happen) during the past 365 days.  Time runs wild, everything changes from one day to another and we are here to witness it all. So let me tell you about my 365 days of 2017.  Actually, I had the roughest start to the year. The holidays went past faster than I anticipated and it was time to return to school. Don´t get me wrong, I loved my school; well, apart from the one professor that was determined to turn my life into a living hell. Oh, yes, I get it, it all sounds exactly like the sentence a lazy student would say. But that´s not my case. Well not since I started my Masters. The thing is, she just found a good reason to embarrass me and almost insult me in front of my classmates on my presentation day just because I was known to hate the subject she was teaching. It was the worst feeling, having just been turned into a little nothing in front of other people by someone I was...
