1. Blogerska lepotna konferenca

Prva slovenska lepotna blogerska konferenca!

Vse se je začelo v naši "skriti" blogerski skupini na facebooku. Večkrat smo se že želele dobiti, vse na kupu... Pa saj vsi vemo kako to gre. 100 punc spraviti na kup, da bodo imele vse čas... Skoraj nemogoče! 

RAZEN, če organiziraš blogersko konferenco, s super programom, sponzorji... potem, pa se blogerke ne morejo upreti!

Kje in kdaj?

Dobile smo se v Grand hotelu Union v Ljubljani, 2.10 že zelo zgodaj zjutraj.

Konferenca je traja ves dan... vendar, se je splačalo!

Kaj smo počele?

VSE! Hahah, imele smo res noro doživetje! Imele smo poučna predavanja o fotografiji, facebooku, uporabi socialnih omrežij, debato z uvodniki, predavanje o tem kako blog narediti še uspešnejši z malo bolj tehniškega vidika, blogersko tržnico s sponzorji, sladkale smo se, masirale in klepetale...na kubik!

Zaradi prevelikega dogajanja, sem imela fotoaparat pri sebi, le na začetku! Preprosto ni bilo (je kateri ratalo?!) mogoče, da bi slikala vsako zadevo, instagramala ter sledila in bila prisotna pri pogovorih z uvodniki, sponzorji...

Rajši sem se posvetila temu "da sem bila tam z glavo" in da sem malo manj slikala...

Takole pa izgledamo blogerke "za vsem bliščem" haha, malo manj glamurozno in malo bolj delavno kot ste nas navajeni, kajne? :)

ZELO sem se razveselila...

Tega, da sem se dejansko nekaj novega naučila. In teh stvari, res ni bilo malo. Vesela sem novega znanja in res komaj čakam da ga uporabim! Hkrati pa, ne želim preveč spreminjati "strategije" objav, ker želim še vedno da je to ustvarjanje za dušo in srce in ne taktiziranje za čim več ogledov in sledilcev.

Res sem presrečna, ker sem imela priložnost spoznati nekatere punce, ki jih še nisem spoznala. Seveda pa je tudi 12 ur PREMALO, za vse "klepetuljice", ki si imamo preveč za povedati tudi če se že poznamo itd. Tako da, se opravičujem, če s katero nisem predolgo oz. sploh nisem nič klepetala, pa drugič!

Mislim, da smo imele vse "gužvo", hehe...

Hitri poskusi fotografiranja na naravni svetlobi! 

Preprosto "mogla sem" ujeti trenutek, kako se fotografije v resnici ustvarjajo. Malce več dela in idej je za tem kot izgleda na blogih...

Vesela sem bila, da smo delali z Afroditinimi izdelki. Kot večkrat omenim, je Afrodita zame "bog i batina" kar se tiče kozmetičnih proizvodov, tako da res komaj čakam da stestiram njihove nove izdelke! (veste, da so izdali tudi intimno milo in olja za lase?!?!?!)

Uživala sem tudi v Afroditinem predavanju. Končno je nekdo naglas povedal kaj je TONIK in zakaj je tako pomemben. Več pričakujte v eni izmed mojih objav o negi kože in kako povečati vlažnost kože.

Skrajno resno pregledujem ALI burgerje (kateri je večji) ali pa kakšnega od kozmetičnih proizvodov. (Simona se baše zraven, hihihi!)

Predavanje Jureta Dolerja in naš carski voditelj :)

Pero, Simona in jaz! (in moja nesimetričnost obraza haha!)

Skrito fotkanje mojega tatuja haha!

N-J-A-M-I!

Res sem hvaležna, da sem se lahko udeležila te konference. HVALA Niki Veger (click!!!), da je vse tako NORO dobro organizirala. 

Naučila sem se ogromno, dobila ogromno novih izdelkov, se podružila s super puncami, dobila nove kontakte uvoznikov in nov ZAGON in energijo za pisanje bloga, kar se mi zdi res najboljše! :)

HVALA, HVALA, HVALA!

Babe žabe na kupu! <333 Na spletu nas zgleda manj, kajne? :)

Sliko kradem simpatični Urški iz bloga La beaute (click!)

HVALA VSEM : Kozmetika Afrodita, L'Occitane, Lassana, Zlatarna Celje, Dvorec Trebnik, Alessandro, AlpStories, Avon, Clarisonic, Curaprox, YoungBlood, Le Couvent Des Minimes, Melvita, Oriflame, Philips, Vichy, darila pa so prispevali še: Aussie, Catrice, CD, Click2Chic, essence, Catrice, Eucerin, GoldenRose, Labello, LaRochePosay, Ličila.si, Nivea, Paul Mitchel, Restart, Nula, Smile Concept Store in Adriamedia/ Cosmopolitan)

P.s. Slike so v različnih "filtrih", vendar sem res želela povzeti različne trenutke, tako da ja - se zavedam da post ni najbolj estetski! Ampak včasih so spomini pomembnejši kot estetika,

Eurotrip : Berlin / Printed trousers

Back to hot Berlin days! 

I really miss Berlin already! Kudamm, like I wrote in previous posts is one of my favourite places in Berlin and I am lucky enough that we lived right next to this amazing shopping street. 

You can see famous church Gedächtniskirche behind me!

Hope you like it, it really is "all about comfort". 

Too much things going on again, starting fresh new year at school, Zumba, work... BLOGGING! WOHO! So expect a FIRST OFFICIAL BEAUTY BLOGGERS CONFERENCE (in Slovenia) post soon! 

In the morning I went "hiking" with my dad and we did a little (8 kilos!) of chestnut harvest, so the whole family will come together at the evening and we will have a "typical" fall evening, can't wait. 

What is better than cold outside, fresh chestnuts & fresh apple juice & maybe so ginger bread?! FALL IS HERE, YUPEEEY! 

(so sorry, lately I have too much energy and I am too excited about little things haha, but I guess this is good!)

Katja

sending you huuuuugs and some chestnuts! <3

Nuxe oil review

Ker sem zadnje čase ogrooomna potrošnica in navdušenka nad olji, sem se zelo veselila testiranja tega znanega in oh in sploh opevanega olja!

Viva la vida preverja...

Resnično me zanima, zakaj vse punce tako opevajo tole olje. Tako, da sem se odločila da moje mnenje delim z vami... In prosim, če mi v komentarje zapišete tudi svoje mnenje, me res zanima! Ponudba olj je vsak dan večja, sploh arganovega ... Tako, da me res zanima kako se lahko primerja cene in kvalitete olj.

Obljubljajo...

Da ima Nuxe edinstveno formulo, obogateno z bisernimi delci zlatega sijaja, olje je sestavljeno iz 6 olj :

- makadamije

- lešnika

- boreča

- mandlja

- kamelije

- šentjanževke in vitamina E

Embalaža in vonj (prvi vtis)

Embalaža je klasična, lepa - minimalistična. Na prvi pogled všečna. Dozirnik je tudi super, saj je olje lepo razporedi. Vonj je zelo "topel" malenkost orientalski, meni je všeč.

Uporaba

Olja lahko uporabljamo na 100 in 1 način. Veliko punc me sprašuje kako se pravilno uporablja katerokoli olje, ali kaj spiramo ali pustimo na laseh, obrazu (pustimo!) itd...

Olje se uporablja na laseh, koži in obrazu. Sama sicer olja uporabljam samo na obrazu in telesu, na laseh se mi nekako ne obnesejo, samo tista - ki so posebej za lase imam rada. 

Kako sem izboljšala vlažnost kože?

Moja je koža je imela "vlažnost" kože pred 6 meseci 37% kar pomeni, da je bila koža dehidrirana. In ker vlaga pomeni "napeto, zdravo kožo, brez gub" sem se odločila popolnoma spremeniti mojo nego obraza. 

Vendar... OLJA so mojo kožo izboljšala... in ko so mi na blogerski konferenci izmerili vlažnost kože je bila številka veliko večja. 76% vlaga! Punca je kar debelo pogledala, saj je to izjemen rezultat.

OBVEZNO vlaženje, vlaženje in še enkrat vlaženje kože. 

1. Odstranjevalec ličil, gele... sem zamenjala z mlekom in tistimi geli ki so posebej za suho kožo.

2. Vlažilna krema & cvetna vodica (ali tonik) & serum

3. OLJE! (argan, jojoba...) obvezno pred spanjem. In kako paše kožo navlažiti in očistiti kot je treba pred spanjem! Upam, da ne pretiravam z olji, ker sem se zadnje čase res res res navdušila nad njimi in temu primeren je tudi rezultat.

NUXE olje je definitivno eno izmed boljših olj, ne samo zaradi čudovitega vonja in embalaže, vendar ker je tudi tako vsestranski in kvaliteten - da mu popolnoma zaupam.

P.s. Za obraz priporočam olja brez bleščic, torej navadno olje. 

Rada bi preizkusila še kakšen njihov izdelek.

Kaj priporočate?

10 things I learned while traveling

1. Knowing languages is the greatest treasure.

Like I wrote many times - I LOVE speaking foreign languages. Even if I just know few words, I will speak it. And I can not tell you how often it shows, that languages are the greatest gift. I spoke spanish at my work so many times lately, that I am truly grateful that I speak it so well.

Ha, and my english. I'm good speaker, but not a writer - I still write millions mistakes and believe me I know that. But I am still learning. Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian is also a big gift to me, because I can understand also Macedonian, Bulgarian and little Russian.

And my german... I was really bad, but thanks to my man and his lovely german family and our trips to Germany each summer, I can actually speak in German language! Really thankful for that. <3

How many languages do you speak? I speak 5!

2. It is not necessary to plan everything.

I admit, I can be a control freak - but on the road, you can't plan everything. Sometimes really good things can happen if you don't plan it. In Dusseldorf we meet our lovely friend Junior - totally not expected and last year I met slovenian blogger Slađi in the middle of 500.000 people in the city. Not planned. 

I always say "Don't go with the flow. Make your own flow."... But sometimes, it's nice to follow it and be surprised!

3. Travel with "the one" who can stand you even when you are pain in the a**.

I learned this many times. When you are traveling... You are 24/7 with that person. You get nervous sometimes. Scared at some situations. You are tired or not feeling well. It is really important that the person is similar to you and likes to eat similar things and to discover similar places... It is really hard if you want to go to museum and the other one just wants to shop.

You really don't want to fight and argue on your trip! So take care about this.

4. If you are not happy on the inside, you can not be happy somewhere else in the world.

It's all about that "peace of mind". You can't expect that traveling will instant make you happy. Even if it helps - in my case, haha! But if you can't feel happy at home or anywhere... Changing location won't do anything. You must be happy on the inside. (this is the topic where I can speak for hours!)

5. Yes, you will run out of clothes.

You can't be 100% prepared. The weather is changing all the time... Especially if you travel more than 2 weeks, you can not predict it. And if you are changing locations... Better take swimsuit and winter jacket with you haha! Like my trip for example - in Berlin 35 degrees in Hamburg 11!

6. Most of the people are kind.

They are still good people! On trips I always run into people which are really trying to help you when you are lost etc., I so happy that there are still that kind of people! I also always help tourists! I love that!

7. You can survive with a lot less than you think.

I 'm not complicated traveler. But I like my own peace and bathroom please, haha! But still I can sleep on the floor or eat only "brotchen" (german's typical bread) for breakfast or lunch. You can save a lot of money if you cook by yourself or just make a sandwich from things you buy - which are cheep. I really like living like this few weeks a year, because you actually see how little do you need for living. 

8. You can have fun anywhere.

You don't need to go out to a fancy club to have fun. Just singing in car on a long long road is sometimes enough. Or sleeping in a park in the middle of big city - I never do this at home. Or tasting new food - probably really "healthy" one haha, you can really have fun ANYWHERE. With the right person!

9. It's never too late to change. 

Traveling is all about change. Changing location, changing way of dressing, getting inspired and changing the way of thinking.

When I return from a short or long trip - I am always inspired by the energy of the city, I feel like I can do anything, that I got filled with new positive energy!

How do you feel about this "change"?

10. We are all the same. No matter where you are. 

This is the most important one. We are all people. We all want the same things. To be happy, to have a family next to you, to have a job/work, to have a little money for your little luxuries and to be able to live in PEACE. And to have freedom.

Hope You enjoy reading my article! <3

Eurotrip : Berlin : Maxi dress

Back to Berlin! 

Tokrat sem si za lokacijo "šutinga" izbrala kar moj Berlinski dom. Na ta "platz" sem zelo čustveno navezana.

Savigny platz je bil moj dom v vseh mojih obiskih Berlina (če izvzamem moj prvi obisk Berlina, 10 let nazaj z godalnim orkestrom) in se mi resnično zdi popolna lokacija za živeti. 

Savigny platz je pravzaprav trg oz. manjši park in okoli njega so prečudovite visoke staromeščanske hiše in ulice. V eni izmed teh hiš sva živela tudi midva, pri najinih prijateljih, Drago und Detlev danke fur alles! :) Nikakor ne morem mimo prečudovitega ogromnega stanovanja kjer sva živela in terase kjer sva vsak večer sedela in pila vino z razgledom na park. 

Nahaja se približno 100-150 metrov od glavne ulice Kudamm - ki je prav tako eden izmed mnogih centrov Berlina in 400 metrov od Berlinskega ZOO-ja.

Berlin je mesto z neverjetno svobodo in navdihom - mene osebno vedno znova očara in tudi tokrat 4ič, me ni nič manj kot prvič. Verjetno pa na to mesto gledam drugače že zaradi tega, ker je bilo mesto najina prva destinacija za potovanje in moj dragi se je tam rodil - zato sem še posebej vesela, ker se po mestu sprehajam s pravim berlinčanom, hehe :)

Nikakor se ne moram izogniti vsem zgodbam, ki stojijo za to lokacijo oz. outfitom! (Katja, stop chatting!)

All about outfit

Obleko sem kupila v Primarku, čeprav sem mislila da je ne bom nosila takoj - pa se je vse skupaj obrnilo tako, da so temperature v Berlinu v enem dnevu padle iz 35 na 15, tako da sem jo morala takoj obleči. 

Vse ostalo že poznate,

Shoes - H&M

Dress - Primark

Jacket - New Yorker

Moram priznati, da mi je outfit zelo všeč. Izjemno udoben in malo drugačen - obleka je popolnoma oprijeta, tako da lepo poudari celotno telo - vendar po mojem mnenje šele jakna doda "svoje".

V petek se bom udeležila prve blogerske konference v Sloveniji! Komaj čakam! Končno bom spoznala še preostanek slovenske lepotne blogerske scene in ogromno novih izdelkov in metod kako izboljšati blog! WOHO!

Lep dan vam želim & en ogromen Berlinski objem!

Eurotrip : Frankfurt / what is left from clothes

Amazing Porsche 911 (the oldest version) in the background.  

Čas je za nov potovalni outfit!

Danes bom pisala kar v slovenščini, že dolgo nisem! Tokrat vam predstavljam outfit "kar je še ostalo od oblek", bil je 16. dan potovanja in bila sva v Frankfurtu. 

Frankfurt sem obiskala že 4. in kot sem že večkrat omenila, se v tem mestu počutim že čisto domače. Fantova teta je praznovala rojstni dan, zato se je celotni nemški del družine zbral v Frankfurtu! In bilo je zares zanimivo videti vse na kupu! Skratka - v Frankfurtu sva dneve preživljala z družino in si seveda ukradla nekaj ur zase v centru mesta. 

Tokrat nosim kavbojke Zara, čevlje Deichmann, jakno New Yorker in majico Forever21. Kapo sem "morala" kupiti v Hamburgu zaradi vetra, zato sem zavila v najbližji H&M.

September je super čas za potovanje, ni prevroče - ne rabiš s seboj nositi litre mrzle vode da lahko sploh normalno deluješ (če izvzamem vročo Prago), pa vendarle je vreme tako spremenjljivo - sploh če menjaš lokacije po nekaj dneh in se premikaš gor in dol po Evropi za nekaj 100 km vsake nekaj dni... Zdaj me je izučilo, da sabo potrebujem vzeti praktično vse od poletnih oblek do skoraj da zimske oprave za mrzel in vetroven sever Evrope. 

Prav zato, mi je dokaj kmalu zmanjkalo oblek - vendar je bilo zanimivo delati kombinacije z več ali manj enakimi kosi in seveda sem bila "prisiljena" kupiti tudi nekaj novega, da sem sploh "prišla čez" z oblekami, haha.

Da se vrnem nazaj k mestu Frankfurt, (stara objava iz leta 2013, klikni) - Frankfurt me vedno znova preseneti. Mesto je praktično "popolno" kar se tiče lokacije, letalskih povezav, ima staro mesto jedro, prav tako znani evropski "downtown" z največ nebotičniki, ki dajejo mestu poseben značaj in mesto je samo dvakrat toliko veliko kot naša Ljubljana, tako da nimaš občutka - da je preveliko.

Ste ga že obiskale? :)

P.s. V petek sem preživela res izjemen dan, najlepša hvala Augustu (še stotič), za vsa presenečenja in preprosto "poln" dan kot mi je najbolj všeč :)

Katja,

ležerno nedelja vam želim (moja je delavna, hihi)

Gotta go to work now, later - we will celebrate my "father in law's" birthday & tomorrow me and my man are celebrating 4 years together *can't believe that love is still growing with everyday*, so I have really great days in from of me ... Damn, I feel so lucky lately, feels good to be grateful for all the good things in life 

Kisses, 

Katja
