Quotes of NOVEMBER 2017 // Dada's diary

Hey there. 

Here I am with another bunch of quotes. Writing these articles is my new form of therapy. This is exactly what I need, just to sit, go through all the wisdom on my Pinterest account and be able to write a bit more about it. Everybody understand quotes differently and I am so glad I have the opportunity to explain my thoughts. So, what do we have here this month?

• If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then Autumn would be the magic hour. - Victoria Erickson

It is 9 o'clock in the evening, I am drinking my tea, listening to "evening acoustic" playlist on my Spotify, feeling cosy under a huge soft blanket and wrapped in my bathrobe (yeah, already in my pyjamas) and thinking about the last leaves falling down from the tree the near park. Isn't this scene beautiful, magical? The word COSY represent autumn to me. A lot of people say that Autumn is their favourite season of the year and I understand why. If I did not love summer that much, I would have Autumn as the best season as well. And even I am not going to change which month of the year is my favourite, I have to admit one - Autumn is the most magical. A lot of important moments in my life happened during Autumn, so that must mean something. So let's enjoy the flavoured or non-flavoured coffee, last fresh apples, big hoodies and sweaters, cold mornings, early nights, warm blankets, and then Christmas will come... the most wonderful time of the year. I cannot wait.

What you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do.

I am afraid, I am scared. As any human being you point your inner finger on. It is normal to be scared of doing the things we are not sure about. We call it a risk. And often, too often we will never do it just because the feeling which takes our breaths and makes us to be stressed. I have had this feeling for hundreds times. And to be honest with you - I listened the inner scared voice of myself during too many situations. On the other hand, more and more often, I refuse to listen to it. What do you think happens after I do as I really feel? Do you think I could lose everything? I could lose myself, people around me, money, reputation or anything you can even think of. Well, let me get this straight - I won, I had never lost when I believed in myself. I got much more than I had expected to get so before opening the door. I learnt so many things I would not have learnt without risking it. I might have lost something but believe me, it could not be that important if I was able to let it go. And I will tell you - I am about to risk again. This is going to be a huge risk and I am so scared that my hands are shaking while I am writing this which is approving me I have to do it.

A real woman, has curves, is skinny, has muscles, is whatever she wants to be.

The truth has been spoken. Do you look different than for example... me or the girl from the next door? Or does the model in a magazine look way too perfect and gorgeous and that makes you unhappy with your own body? Simply stop with that. Now. You are different, because your mum was different than mine, because your body needs different care, because you live different life, because you are unique. You might be shaking your head in a disagreement. But you should not shake you head and disagree with me in this. You are unique, I can repeat it for you at any possible moment. Nothing matters but you. You ought to finally admit what you do for your body and also with your body and how you feel in your body is just about you and you cannot share it with anybody. So the point I am talking about is to finally star feel as a woman, as a unique human being who can do anything. Who can be whatever she wants. 

• I hope to arrive to my death, late, in love, and a little drunk. - Atticus

This sounds so good, doesn't it? I would wish this kind of death for me. I have no idea where I will go however I could predict that I will probably end up downstairs (it might be a bit hot there) with friends of mine. OK, let's be serious. I try to do "good" every day because I want to be a good person. But what I understand under a good person, does not have to have the same meaning for somebody else. And as I do good, I also do bad. For example - I swear sometimes (which is horrible and I am working on it), I lie often (nobody actually believes me because I am horrible in lying), I eat sweets and I feel horrible after that (and there is no reason to be mad at myself, I do not eat sweets on everyday base). I can be lazy and procrastinate for the half of the day. I drink. Not a lot but once/twice per week I have a beer, two glasses of a wine or whatever. I do not get drunk, I exactly know when I should stop. I am addicted to coffee. I care about my financial status, about my social status and about my mental status. But not in a way which heaven would accept. So, Do I cheat? I think that I mainly I cheat myself. My personal opinion is that no matter where we will go (after we die), we will end it up as we always wanted and we will be OK with continuing forward. I just want to be proud of my life in the end.

Autumn tutorial with eye colour palette by Mary Kay // Dada's beauty

Hi make-up lovers.

It has been ages since I put any make-up product on my skin. I did not have a lot of reasons to use and wear make-up during summer time. I do not know how about you but does make-up disturb you while wearing it in hot weather? Because it disturbs me quite a lot.
Firstly because it lawyer of make-up on my skin melts as the day goes on. I have a bit more oily skin in summer time so nothing (even eye mascara) stay on properly for longer than an hour.
The next thing is - my skin cannot breathe which is not the greatest. My skin needs to be breathable in hot weather otherwise I have more acne than I normally do.
And the third reason - I spent almost whole summer travelling, constantly doing something and I did not have any time left (or I did not want to have) for doing my make-up every day.

The situation has changed. I will work soon (hopefully, which me luck please, please), I will meet important people and I would like to look representative. So, I am going back to do my make-up, probably for 4-5 times per week. But, as you will see in this tutorial, I do not plan to wear a lot of make-up. I found out (well, I knew this information however did not practice it) that the less make-up you use, the less people can see it and the more you look naturally beautiful. And that is exactly how I want to present my skin in public. Just to look fresh, clean and natural.

OK, let's finally go through the tutorial :-D

Before I started taking photos for the tutorial, I had put the basic stuff on my face (Stuff like - the make-up base, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, bronzer and I did my eyebrows). I did not take any photo of it because I do the same things every time which you probably do as well.  Or if not, you can have a look in one of my older tutorials like this one : http://dadalajf.blogspot.cz/2016/12/my-christmas-party-look-tutorial.html

As this tutorial was supposed to be easy and quickly done, I had started with the lightest shade in the Mary Kay's eye colour palette. I put it in my inner eye, from the top to the bottom. I made sure I had enough product on my brush and I shook the product slightly off my brush. This trick prevents you a bit from getting dusty under eye area which usually happens if you use powdery eye shadows.

After I had use the lightest eye shadow to optically open up my eyes, I used really nice autumn looking pink/violet eye shadow. This one was designed in a cold tone which is perfect for green eyes like I own. Well, almost green since they are changing to blue sometimes. I have no idea why. Don't you know why by the way? But back to the tutorial. So I put this gorgeous eye shadow all over my eye lid and  I gave it a good blend. Again, I wanted my eyes in natural vibes. 

And the the last time I needed this eye colour palette was when I used the darkest shade contained within the palette. I softly blended it in the first half of my eye lid, but just in the eye lashes area. And the second time I applied the eye shadow was to the outer corner of my eye to finish the final look.

And I finished my whole make-up by using the eye mascara. Actually I will need a new eye mascara soon since this one is almost empty. Do you have any recommendations which eye mascara works good for you?

And I did not forget  to take a care about my lips. I used very similar colour as the one I used for the eyes. I really enjoy to wear colours in a cold tone during this season of the year. What about you?

Have a look on the final photos and let me know if you liked my make-up because I am planning to wear it for a few times during this winter <3
