Frequently Asked Question's About Studying Medicine Abroad

Whenever I am at work or back home in the UK and I tell people I study medicine in abroad, they always seem to ask me pretty much the same things. And trust me, the questions don't change that much and it's been 5 long years.

Often enough I find myself repeating the same kinda questions. When asked what I do, I usually answer by saying 'I am a medical student' (usually at work & online). And people then usually ask 'Where?' and then I answer, 'I study abroad actually....pause...in 'Romania' and then they pause, stare at me confused, then the questions begin lol! These FAQ's aren't written in particular order but they pretty much summarise what questions I get asked all the time! 

New In | What Garnier Products I Have Been Loving

One of my favourite affordable skincare brands is Garnier. Whenever I'm in superdrug or boots, I usually gear towards this brand. I think its mainly because their products are always usually calm, gentle and soothing on my skin! I really wanted to do a post about the Garnier products I have been loving because they have been a staple in my skincare routine for a long time. Although there are several other brands that I enjoy using, I thought it'd be a great idea to collect a few that I like from each and I'm starting with Garnier skin naturals.

Now I Understand Why There Is Skincare For Darker Skin

So I'm sure many of you are probably wondering why I am so passionate about teaching people about skincare. And as much as I love teaching and writing about skincare, I also love exploring the thin line between medicine and beauty world. Although both sides have the same goal in mind, in that they have their special ways of making us feel better about our body. They also show us a completely different perspective and focus on how to use products to work best for us. Studying medicine and the natural sciences for many years, has really shown me this difference. And I have really started to uncover skin as more than just outer 'beauty' but as a part of our inner health.

Why The Dove Nourishing Body Wash Is Still My Favourite...

That moment when you have had a long day and you just want to relax, take a shower and jump right into bed! I'm sure we've all had days like this, mine tends to be quite a frequent thing at the moment. One of my favourite guilty pleasures is my night bath time routine, I know it might seem kinda weird, because I really do enjoy it! So over the next few weeks, I will hopefully be able to uncover products I love using and review them.

Getting Rid Of Chapped Lips + My Current Lip Balm Favourites

I recently did a poll on my twitter page and asked what post to do next and a post on chapped lips was highly requested. So firstly, I want to say thank you to my lovely twitter followers, you guys are amazing! As promise this post is all about chapped lips and instead of just being a science nerd and describing the entire science behind it, I thought it'd be nice to include a few of my favourite lip balms too.

What's Better For Your Warm Undertone? Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation vs MAC Studio Fix (Review)

I bought the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless foundation about 6 months ago because I literally saw it everywhere online, so many people were either using the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation or the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. I was looking for a new foundation anyway, so I thought I'd give it a try. I wanted to buy it online, but I didn't actually know what colour I was, so I went to look back at the youtube videos of my favourite bloggers Patricia Bright, Jennie Jenkins (aka Beauty by JJ) and Chanel Ambrose who pretty much have the same complexion as mine and they were actually using the shade 'Benares'. 

And of course, when I received it, it wasn't exactly my shade, it was a tad bit darker than my skin complexion. I was so gutted, because I ordered it to Romania, so there was no way I could send it back. But hey, I had to work with it by doing more highlighting and can definitely say it is an amazing foundation and it has the best coverage.

The Morning After | The Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream

I have been guilty several times of sleeping with my makeup on! This is usually when I have a night out, and when I get in I intend on removing my makeup, but I just up dosing off. First thing in the morning, I usually reach for my Noxzema cleansing cream. Because quite frankly, I need some deep cleansing, plus some extra TLC for my skin.

Taking It Off | The Garnier Micellar Water Review

Taking off my makeup at night after a long exhausting day has always been a bit of a chore for me, simply because I just couldn't be bothered with wipes because I just found it too drying on my skin and I just didn't like the way my skin felt in the morning!

So often times, I would just fall right asleep and lucky enough for me I generally have good skin, so I rarely get worried about getting spots or worsening my skin. However as I have gotten older I do realise that although my skin rarely gives me problems, I do find that sometimes it just doesn't look the same. I find that the times I stray away from a good night time routine, I just don't look as radiant in the morning.
