AliExpress Dresses Review

Hello everyone :)
I recently bought 2 dresses from AliExpress and since many people complain about the quality of the products and the credibility of the sellers I decided to make a review!
So these are the original photos of the dresses I purchased.
Here are the dresses I received.
As you can see they are the same dresses as in the photo above..
I really don't feel deceived, the communications with the seller was decent and I'm really happy that the colors are so vibrant, although I thought that the pink dress would be more like a baby pink rather than purple pink.
And this is me wearing the dresses.
I was extremely afraid that they would be too small for me(although I wear size 36, 8 in UK) so I bought the medium size.
I really loved the blue and green dress because it looks retro and fun..
Now for the pink dress I have to say that I'm a little disappointed I choose medium size cause it's too big in my waist.
I know it doesn't seem too big on me but I'm totally sure that if I had chosen the small one it would fit perfectly.
Overall I believe that buying dresses form AliExpress was really simple
and doesn't involve any risk as long as you see the ratings of the seller.
I definitely gonna buy again dresses form this site cause the quality isn't bad and the prices are really low.

Outfit & Hair Update!

Hello everyone!
It's been a while since you've last seen my face and I'm just glad to be back to blogging again :D
Lately I've been really busy with school (I know I've said that numerous times)
But anyway, this post is about hair.
As you can see from the photos, I've decided to let my hair fade to this cute light pink color for summer (well  it's inevitable since sun fades them anyway).
And so far I'm loving it!
And that's the outfit, I'm wearing my brand new shirt from Primark! It's so cute!
And yes I know the angle of the photo on the left makes my head look super huge compared to my body. Like a big pink potato head but that was all I got!.
I'm really liking how my hair turned out. Although the bangs are close to a white color, in the photos it looks like it's an effect of the lighting but trust me, my hair aren't that shiny, they are just whiter in some areas and obviously darker at the ends.
Another great thing about this set of photos is the fact that the orange bits in my hair won't show at all. YAY! Wish that was happening in real life too...
On other news, we are taking regularly Ella out for walk and I think it's the best idea ever 'cause after she's pretty much exhausted and we can pet her without mercy! (I'm not even sorry).

And a question for you all!
Would you put your pets on raw diet?? I'm thinking of putting Ella on raw diet since I've learned how damaging dry food is for our pets but I would love some input from people that have tried it (like recipes etc)
-I'll write more about this in a next post-

Ella Got Her Wings!

Hello everyone :)
today's post is dedicated to Ell, our little kitten that since we found her is always on trouble!
Her favorite thing is jumping off balconies and she has become good at this..
So we bought her a pair of wings..
The pink color doesn't really match her personality since she's an independent woman(like her owners) and she is as affectionate as an ox..
No no I'm just kidding, she is affectionate but since she is a little kitten she's full of energy and it's almost impossible for her to stay in one place for long!
Now we can only hope that her new wings will protect her from jumping off balconies again..
Isn't she lovely?

Ice Skating For Beginners

Hello everyone :)
Today it was a lovely sunny day so we decided to go for ice skating (obviously spring it's the best season for ice skating..)

We are not so good at this sport, especially me(actually I'm not good at any sport)
so we were really lucky that none else was there and we avoided the humiliation..
Efi took those photos because she is the only one who we trust to hold the camera on ice!
It's quite socking that every time I forget how cold this place is 
and although I had in mind to put something warm I totally ignored myself..
I also tent to forget all the basic staff about ice skating..
  • wear comfortable and warm clothes(don't forget the socks)
  • bring gloves
  • start slowly and try to maintain your balance by bending your knees.
  • don't look down because you're gonna lose your balance

These are the basic rules I've learned and I should remember next time..
Have you ever been ice skating?
Do you think it's easy?

The Terror Of Capitalism

Hello everyone,
as you may know I'm doing my internship as a journalist and today I had a huge task.
I was responsible for the video editing of the Bangladesh footage..
For more than an hour I had to look at uncut videos of the ruins including dead bodies and people crying or yelling for help.
I started to sweat when I heard people inside the ruins pleading for help.
It has become publicly known that this factory had large  cracks and it was ready to collapse but still the workers were not allowed to leave..
So it's quite obvious that the huge corporations that used those people and treated them worse than slaves have full responsibility for this tragedy since they knew that the building was a ticking bomb!
We pretend that we don't know that slaves still exist, we pretend that we don't hear the voices of the people starving and dying.
Ignoring the problem is not the solution, this monstrosity has to stop now.
Capitalism has won today and has cost the lives of 200 workers but we can still raise our voices against injustice cause everyday is a battle!

Daphne's Birthday!

Hello everyone :)
This was a crazy week.. Yesterday it was Daphne's birthday and we had so many things to prepare!
I baked her a cake and we got prepared for 2 days of celebrating :)
Here are some photos from our first night celebrating.
I'm really sorry for the low quality but we forgot to take a camera with us and the lighting was extremely low.
We were so ready to party!
We all wore high heels and even Efi wore makeup which is a clear sign of a special occasion.
Of course at the end of the night I had an embarrassing moment.
I slipped on the sidewalk and I fell on the ground while I was screaming in a high pitched voice.
It was really funny and it's a shame I don't have a video to show you. I wasn't hurt at all cause I landed safely on my butt..
So now you know why we didn't had any time to post but now we are back on scedule!!

Ella The Supercat

Hello everyone :)
Today I wanna share with you a problem Daphne and I have with our cat Ella..
When Ella was a small kitten she fell down the balcony (4th floor) and just few days ago she fell down the roof(5th floor)
When she was little she had broken her leg but now she is fine, I guess she has found a safer way to land..
But it's really weird and raises many questions how and why she keeps falling??
Is she trying to catch a bird?
Does she have any luck of balance or orientation?
Maybe she just thinks she's some kind of supercat or something..
We are extremely scared that if she had the chance she would jump from an even higher floor!
This cat wants to break the previous score..it's obvious!
So for now she is not allowed to go out, especially without supervision.
 Ella is surunded by people that love her and she doesn't seem worried about leaving the house..she just likes to jump from roofs that's all!
Is there any solution for this problem?
Is there any way we can teach her not to jump from balconies?
