Prettiest Flowers- Lace tulips

Have you seen these pretty tulips around?

You know I absolutely love white tulips, but these ones are just so delicate and ... perfect.

Their petals are lace-like, is just like someone took  some scissors and made hundreds of fringes.

PERFECTION!

Easy Dried Flowers Table Centerpiece

Hello, lovelies!

This weekend all my spring flowers died so I thought I should try something with some pout-pourri and some dried flower that I had in a different arrangement.


This pout-pourri is rose scented and has a lovely, vibrant colour.

A while ago I saved a small cute beer bottle ( not very classy, ha?) and paired it with a plate in the same colour.

The beer bottle is holding a thistle flower that I received in a big flower arrangement.


I think it looks really pretty and it's also scented. The colours fitted perfectly.


Stay inspired!

Home Fragrance- Rose Water Scented Clay Heart




On the 8th of March I received a nice gift that I thought it was just a pretty heart. I had no idea these existed. Apparently they can be found anywhere, I saw them on Ebay. They are scented clays in different shapes and some of them can be hanged.

I'm assuming you can hang them in a dresser, but was so pretty and it fit my bedroom so well, that I hung it on the door key.

I don't know if this one was already scented, but it came with a little spray. You just spray it on the heart and, I must say, it holds the fragrance well, I believe it is the pores in the clay or something.


As far as the scent goes, I love mine, is Rose Water. Is like an old smell, in the best way. Let's say it is a classic. Is is a strong rose scent and it goes well with the roses carved on the heart.


The details are actually really pretty and feminine, very old-school yet again. I think when I will finish the spray I will try to use a different fragrance. I am pretty sure is better to use a clear (no colour) and oil-free perfume to prevent stains.


Stay inspired!

ID Pieces of Life (2)

I have been having some trouble sleeping lately, so I purchased the Boots Calming Aromatherapy set hoping it will help me.


 Aside from water lilies, white tulips are my favourite flowers. They are just so simple and elegant, having them around the house makes me happy.


These days I wore these a lot, they are really thick (for some reason my feet and legs are always cold) an I love the print. Can anybody explain to me why moustaches are a big thing now? They are really fun to wear around the house- COZZZY!


My fitness plan for this summer is to get rid of my arm fat, actually the skin hanging from the arm. You know, the one that makes you look like you're about to take off and fly when you wave. The fact that these are bright pink make the morning sets easier.


Flowers again. I was a lucky girl these days. <3. 


Stay happy and inspired!

IKEA TINDRA Glass Candles Review

Since we moved into the new house I became obsessed of getting rid of the old smells and making it ours. Besides the electric air fresheners, the candles, especially during autumn and winter, relax me and enhance the confort of the home.

A budget-friendly option are the IKEA candles.

1. They are affordable and it turns out they do the job. Last time I bought a set of 3 smaller ones on sale at 12 RON, less than 3 euros.

2. They burn pretty even. You can see in the picture below, the berry-flavoured one is almost over and it burned perfectly.  That;s usually the biggest no-no with cheap candles.
I did notice that the smaller ones tend to burn uneven, but I think it's enough to make sure the wick is straight when you start to burn them.

3. Fragrance. As far as the scents go, being IKEA it is obvious there is a wide range to choose from. There is only a picture on the lids so I'll try my best to guess the actual fragrance,
My favourites: The Berries one- it is a full scent, if it makes any sense. It fills a small room very quick and it works in every season. It is not overwhelming in warmer days.
Vanilla- Classic scent, everybody loves it. I used to burn it in the bedroom when it was colder, it really made everything cozy. The fragrance is not that strong and that is why sometimes you get a candle smell more than vanilla and I wouldn't choose it for summer.

Tindra Ljuv Green: This has some kind of leaf on the lid, so it's supposed to be a fresh, garden-like smell. I adore it, it's perfect for this spring. It's fresh, but not extremely energizing like citrus or something. I think I like it mainly because it is a clean smell.
The bigger ones had individual lids and the scent was better preserved. The 3-pack ones had one sort of a lid for all of them and the fragrance was not that strong, but considering the price, I'll say it's ok.

What's your opinion, do you like your IKEA candles?

TREND ALERT! Around the world

So apparently maps are everywhere now. I think it is super easy to get caught in this trend because most people love to travel and wish they would travel more. Having map inspired decor around makes me think about travellig and new adventures.

Also, I love this trend because it is an invitation to DIY. I mean, just get a map that you love, frame it, and you have a personal wall art.

As an idea, you can get a map of the place you and your partner met, frame it, write something romantic and then give it to her/him as a gift.

Accents are easy to incorporate in a room.

I find that maps wallpaper or big maps wall art is best suited in home offices, but I have to admit that using it in a boy's room is super-adorable. Once you have this wallpaper on, you can go all-out in a kid's room, can't you? I mean lamps, boats, globes, pillows, related books on display, compasses...all for the little explorer!
