This app sucks, big time.I'm actually scared for my blog's life. Scared that I accidentally click on some of this tiny buttons and I delete some blog posts, scared that I accidentally post a draft, or turn a perfectly good published blog post into a complete disgrace.But I keep using this app that doesn't seem to be able to synchronize correctly, or AT ALL for that matter, and an app that thinks that every blog post was posted in the same day. But know why I keep using it?Because when my creativity strikes, when I'm in bed or in the subway, and I don't have my computer near by I open this app in my cellphone, and start typing till exhaustion.I love it because I can immediately start typing without the risk of forgetting something that I really wanted to say. And this app may have a lot of problems, and I wouldn't trust it to publish posts, but it's the best at saving drafts, and that I know for sure.I've written so many posts in this app, especially the Personal ones where the ideas for them came up to me late at night or when I'm somewhere waiting for something.I've tried endless ways to write posts on-the-go, like creating a draft on my email or writing it down on a piece of paper, but I always end up losing information and valuable time.You may think I'm crazy to use this horrible app, but I've grown fond of it, it made me company in sleepless nights and made the number of drafts in my blog grow exponentially. And I'm really thankful for that!
I had a busy morning this Tuesday. The lovely girls, Helena and Joana, needed to take photographs of their new bikinis, sent by a sponsor, and they asked me if I could take the photographs. I promptly accepted, I loved the idea and I was really happy to help.
We went to the YEATMAN HOTEL and it was beyond amazing, I even said, as a joke, that it was my future home. I definitely couldn't live there but I know, for sure, that I wouldn't mind spending there some vacations and spa days.
We took the photographs in an interior pool, it was poring outside but it was so hot where we were. I usually wear t-shirts and tops, but that day I decided to wear a sweater, wrong move Maria!
We took about one hour to take all the photographs we wanted and I really loved the result and you?
See Helena's and Joana's blog posts for more pictures.
They are way too gorgeous, don't you think?
See you tomorrow!
JUMPER: ABSOLUTRIBUT | BOOTS: THE PURPLE |
Some of my biggest fashion finds are made at a cool second hand shop in Porto called Absolutribut. Every time I can, I go there, browse the shop and always end up finding something amazing, at a great price. The owner is amazing and really nice. If you're from Porto, or if you are going there on a visit, go visit the store, you won't be disappointed.

I must think it's Summer, I've been loving t-shirts lately, and this one is really cool! I bought a size M but it's too big for me so I'm using it as a dress (with shorts bellow it).ALL PHOTOS by HELENA
Last week I met Helena before going to college, we took some photos, went to Primark and at the end we ate at Jeronymo.
I had skipped breakfast (bad, bad girl) and I was really hungry, Helena told me that Jeronymo's toasts were really good so I gave them a try, they were, in fact, wonderful! The coffee was really strong, I really needed it I was a bit sleepy, and the toast was perfect!
Have you eaten at Jeronymo? Do you like it?

Well, all my favorites from January are from Avon. Know why?
I started working with Avon last month, I only had some Avon products at home and I had to take this opportunity to buy more products from the brand.
And the truth is a loved them all. They have some hypoallergenic products for people like me and I have to say my skin improved a lot, and the scars from the last allergic reaction are almost gone.
I never had problems with zits and I got a little scared, and worried that it would become a daily struggle. Happily it was just a fright that passed with the help of this little beauties.
Face Cream Échinacea & White Tea (Campaign 14 page 173 3.95€)
I bought this cream from Avon and it promised to reduce small wrinkles, I laughed. A cream that only costs 3,95€, with natural products and it promised something like that? It was really funny... until I tried it. It does the work, bravo! The little wrinkles I have from smiling have faded, my skin is really smooth and it also helps get rid of acne scars.
Matte BB Cream (Campaign 14 page 86 8,95€)
This bb cream is from that hypoallergenic production line I had talked to you about. I love it! I've chosen the matte one and it doesn't disappoint!
Powder Brush (Campaign 13 page 81 with free Bronzer 8,95€)
& Foundation Powder (Campaign 14 page 52 9,95€)
This brush is so soft! I use it with my foundation powder from Avon. Both products are perfect!
Eyeliner Cosmic Brown (Campaign 14 page 17 3,95€)
A brown eyeliner! I really love this eyeliners from Avon, I also have it in black. And as you know I'm loving brown eyeliners lately, they give a natural look that I adore!
