Baby Gotta Work It Out #3

EN: Hello Bananas! Well I haven't done one of these in a while simple because even though I started the year kinda well, started to workout but slowly the motivation was soon gone, which in a way is very common among people that make promises like "Next year I'm going to start working out and loose weight!" and a  lot of people do start but then they quit, which was my case.

I guess for me it was more due to the fact that some things weren't going well in my private life so working out was the last thing in my mind.
So I've been working out On and Off for the last few weeks but I'm kicking myself in the butt and hopefully this time around I will stay in focus.
Do you guys workout? What's your tips and advices?

H&M - The New Icons Collection

EN: Hello Bananas!

H&M has come out with a new collection for this Spring called "The New Icons", featuring Top Models (by picture order) Daphne Groeneveld (Netherlands), Joan Smalls (Puerto Rico), Lindsey Wixson (USA) and Liu Wen (China).

The collection is inspired my these models personal style and their off-duty street wear. The colour scheme of the clothes is very simple and tend to stay in the whites, creams and (of course) blacks. From all of the items I really wished I would have at least 3 and one of the is freaking expensive!

EN: Hello Bananas! In case you don't know I'm a Youtube junkie, meaning that I watch a lot of Youtube videos. Among the hundreds (YES hundreds) of channels that I'm subscribed to, one of them belongs to Makeup Artist Lisa Eldridge.

She recently did some very interesting videos about foundations, giving us tips/advices in how to buy foundation, the best foundation for people with Combination to Oily skins and Dry skins, how to pick the right shade for you etc. So I decided to share all those videos with you and hopefully it will help some of you.

When I started to use makeup, foundation (along with blush) was the thing that I feared the most to use and use it incorrectly. I do admit and I know that I'm not alone on this one, I learned A LOT about make up thanks to Youtube videos and Blogs.

Hope you guys find the videos helpful.

PT: Olá Bananas! Caso não saibam eu sou uma viciada em vídeos do Youtube, o que quer dizer que eu vejo demasiados vídeos no Youtube. E entre centenas (SIM centenas) de canais que sigo um deles é o da Maquilhadora Profissional Lisa Eldridge.

Recentemente ela fez uns vídeos interessantes que podem ajudar muitas de vós, dando algumas dicas de como escolher a base correcta, a melhor base paras as pessoas com pele mista a oleosa e seca, como escolher o tom correcto etc. Decidi então partilhar todos esses vídeos com vocês e espero que vos ajude de alguma forma.

Musical Friday #97

EN: Hello Bananas! So yesterday was my birthday and I'm officially 27 years old T_T. GOD it feels so weird because when I look in the mirror I don't see a 27 years old Woman, specially since most of my family members always look surprised when I tell them my age, they think I look like a teenager of 16/17/18 years old of age :/. I guess partially is due to the way that I dress :S BAH!
On the 17th of April one of my friends had her first baby girl yyeaaahhiiii :3.
And tomorrow I should meet with some of my friends to celebrate my Bday with a little dinner and what not. Have a good weekend!

Psy - Gentleman - New - HIS BAAAAACK! "I'm a mother father Gentleman!"

Happy Birthday!

Here it goes again, another year >.<

Haul | Collective Winter Haul

EN: Hello Bananas. There is not much to say because the video above says it all :D. But basically I finally filmed a new video and it was a Collective Winter Haul, things that I bought and received from the last 4 to 5 months (if not more).
In the video you can already see my new Ray Ban glasses :3. What do you think about them?
Hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already :D.

PT: Olá Bananas. Não há muito para contar porque está tudo explicado no vídeo em cima :D. Mas basicamente, finalmente consegui filmar um novo vídeo e foi sobre as minhas compras durante o Inverno, coisas que comprei e recebi nos últimos 4 a 5 meses (se não mais). 
No vídeo já podem ver os meus novos óculos da Ray Ban :3. O que acham deles?
Espero que gostem. E não se esqueçam de subscrever no meu canal caso já não tenham feito isso :D.

Dream House #12

EN: Hello Bananas! Look at that first picture. Isn't that a beaute of an office? With a big wide windows, aaahhhh I love that. I've done in a past another post about Office/Study rooms and I also expresses the fact that I'm kinda unhappy or more like annoyed that I still have my desk in my bedroom, I wish I could keep those two things separate but for the time being I can't.

PT: Olá Bananas! Olhem-me para essa primeira foto. Não é uma beleza esse escritório? Com uma mega janela, aaahhhh eu adoro! No passado já fiz um outro post sobre escritórios/salas de estudo e também mencionei que de momentos estou insatisfeita com a minha situação de ainda ter a minha secretária no meu quarto e como gostaria de ter estas duas coisas separadas mas infelizmente não posso fazer nada sobre o assunto.

Hello Bananas. The month of April started of well but these last two days have left me mentally tired.

Life sometimes can kick you hard. Right now I'm feeling like I'm swimming against the tide and it is so exhausting.

Outfit #11

Outfit #11 by karenussene featuring mint jewelry

Hervé Léger classic black dress / Zara heels / Leather crossbody handbag / Bracelet jewelry / Mint jewelry, $35 / Miss Selfridge spike jewelry / Isharya , $135 / NARS Cosmetics lip gloss, $27 / Yves Saint Laurent yves saint laurent

EN: Hello Bananas! Like I said on my last post, on the 18th of April is my Birthday. Now I don't know what I'm going to do this year, probably is going to be very low key but ideally I wish I could go out at night to a nightclub but unfortunately I ain't got money for that :(. So I'm going to dream about it lol.

So the above outfit would be my birthday outfit, so what do you think? To much neon? It all started with the dress >.<. I love those Zara shoes, I think it from their new collection and you all know by now I love my spikes and skulls haha. For my nails and lips I would use something in the shades of coral.

PT: Olá Bananas! No meu último post eu contei-vos que o meu aniversário no dia 18 de Abril. Eu não sei o que vou fazer no meu aniversário mas provavelmente vai ser algo muito calmo e simples. O ideal era sair à noite e ir para uma discoteca mas infelizmente eu não tenho dinheiro para isso :(. Por isso vou sonhar sobre o assunto lol.

A roupa em cima seria o meu outfit para o meu aniversário, o que acham? Demasiado neon? Tudo começou com o vestido >.<. Eu adoro aquelas sandálias da Zara, acho que faz parte da nova colecção e depois como já devem saber eu amo os meus spikes (picos/tachas) e caveiras haha.Para as unhas e lábios usaria algo em tons de coral.

Hello April

EN: Hello Bananas! How are you? 

If you saw my previous posts you will know that the month of March for me was horrible. So I'm really really reeaaalllyyy hoping that the month of April will be better.

April is a bit of a special month for me, because my birthday is on the 18th. So from right now I'm basically 17 days away of turning 27 years old. I will not lie, when I was younger I couldn't wait to be older but since I entered my 20's I get a bit "anxious" and "freak out" of getting older :/.

Also - and I can only speak for Europe - hoping that the weather gets better. In Portugal it has been raining constantly and then in the U.K. was still snowing... SNOWING? I think this is more than a sign that the world is changing, so be prepared. 

Anyways I leave you with some pictures as a bit of inspiration. I normally collect the pictures with Pinterest and nowadays with Tumblr as well. But today I went to Pinterest and when I clicked for the Embed option (which gives me a special link for the picture) it opens another page with God knows how many options in order to get a link but none of the links worked with Blogger. If you guys know anything about this, please let me know!
