October Essentials #1

Hello guys! October is finally here! Just two more months for Christmas =D If you haven't already guessed i am very exited for cold weather to finally be here so i wanted to share some of my October essentials to get you through the season! 

1. My absolute favorite knitted jacket.

Oh my! I have been waiting for so long to be able to wear this! I have a real thing for knitted jackets or anything knitted actually and think that this season is perfect for them! They just add that Autumn feel to your look, plus they are so warm yet light. Agh, just love them!

2. "Match Perfection" powder and foundation by Rimmel. 

Now the thing about me is that i have a really oily skin so make-up never stays on my face and after an hour it looks oily and disgusting. I have been using this brand for some time now and i am soo happy with it! It stays in place for hours and my skin doesn't look oily at all. I use it in the "light nude" shade for the foundation and the "warm beige" shade for the powder. Plus it's so light and it almost feels as if nothing is on your face so i'm totally in love with it!

3. This lovely travel mug.

So i'm a big coffee lover but never have enough time to drink a cup in the morning before i leave for school. This thing is an absolute lifesaver! I take it with me at school everyday and have plenty of coffee to keep me through the day. You can put about 2 cups of coffee in there, hot or warm! I think you can practically find these anywhere and they are relatively cheap! 

4. Essence lipstick.

I'm not sure if you guys can see how dark this color is in the picture but in real life it's just beautiful! It's from "Essence" and in the color "09 Wear Berries!" (yes there's an exclamation mark in it's name). I thought it would be great for a night out with friends and since it is sort of a deeper color i would probably use lighter make-up with it. Oh, that "e" ? Yeah, i kinda loved that!

5. An over-sized hand bag.

So, i bought this bag on sale when i went to Finland so i'm not sure you can find the exact one. The store's name was "Halpa-Halli" so i guess you can check that out. Anyway, i think over-sized bags are perfect for this season and i kinda tend to put a lot of things in my bag so this is great! If you look closely, you may see that the inside of the bag is blue with black polka dots. Even though no one will see it i really loved it and thought it was just great. 

6, My winter hat.

Ok, so technically it's it's not winter yet BUT the weather is kinda chilly, especially at night time. Maybe you won't be able to get to use it too much but still i think it's great for those chilly nights. Basically it's just a simple black knitted hat you can find all over the place! I loved this one because not a lot of these hats look good on me but this one does!

7. This kitten notebook!

So, i know that probably no one will care about this one but come on!! It's just adorable! I just love cats so this notebook was pretty perfect for me. I get to use it a lot so, yeah. It is one of the things i will be using all October long! ^.^

So these were all my October Essentials! Hope you guys saw something you liked and have a very happy month!! Don't forget to leave a comment bellow telling me what your favorite thing on the list was and i will be seeing you guys next time! :) x

5 Surprising facts about coffee

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Mornings would never be the same without it and it's hard to imagine getting through the day without a cup. Even though we think we are complete experts when it comes to coffee, there are actually surprising facts about it you probably didn't know! So why don't you grab a cup and enjoy while you get your mind blown.


1. THE LETHAL DOSE OF CAFFEINE IS ROUGHLY 100 CUPS OF COFFEE.

Sorry to break it to you but studies have shown that there is in fact such a thing as a "coffee overdose". Don't you worry though! To actually die from coffee you have to drink all that coffee at once which is practically impossible since you wouldn't be able to fit that much in your stomach. Plus, after some cups you would start experiencing hallucinations. Suddenly 4 cups of coffee a day doesn't seem like all that much!

2. COFFEE IS A RED BERRY BEFORE IT'S A BEAN.

So you actually thought coffee was always a bean? Yeah...me too. Well it seems like coffee is a berry that crows on trees! To make this even more interesting, coffee is the #1 most valuable and widely traded commodity crop in the world! Seems like we humans love our coffee!

3. BLACK IVORY COFFEE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE KIND OF COFFEE ON EARTH AND IT'S MADE FROM...POOP!

This must be the most disgusting fact on this list. Elephants actually consume coffee beans and are after collected from their feces. Black Ivory coffee has been described as "very smooth without the bitterness of regular coffee". If you would like to taste this interesting coffee then you are looking about $50 per cup! 

4. DRINKING COFFEE CAN HELP YOU BURN FAT!

Interestingly enough studies have shown that coffee and specifically caffeine can actually help you loose weight or at least prevent you from gaining any! It can increase your metabolism anywhere from 3-11% and it's one of the very few chemicals that can help with burning fat. Better drink up people!

5. COFFEE CAN HELP PREVENT ALZHEIMER'S AND DEMENTIA.

Apparently scientists have been very interested in coffee because an other study has shown that people who drink coffee are up to 65% less likely to suffer from  Alzheimer's disease. Also it's suggested that caffeine could be an effective therapeutic against the disease.

So there you have it! Next time you go out for a coffee with your friends i suggest you through one of these facts and you will surely blow there minds away! See y'all next time! :)
