Me and My



Well, yeah I'm a Potterhead! 
Harry Potter is my favorite series of films and one of my favorite series of books! I owe this obsession to my brother because I would watch the films with him and he bought all the books so I ended up following it as well. And I'm glad I did!
At first, I found it a bit scary since I was pretty young when I watched the first Harry Potter film because let's be honest watching a face grow at the back of someone's head isn't the most pleasing thing for a kid to watch! Despite this, I still watched the films and I really liked them!

However, watching these films when you're a bit older is completely different because I think of the characters and the story in a totally different way than I did before! Now, I see the unbreakable friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione; the sacrifice that Lily Potter made to save her son; the fear behind everyone's eyes every time Voldemort comes back and the reason behind each character's actions. 

This last point is specifically about Draco because before I would look at Draco like he was just a mean kid but now I understand why he does what he does. He never had proper attention from his parents and because his family was very wealthy I guess money was his reward and it got him used to having everything he wanted the way he wanted. So when a boy like Harry took the attention away from him and rejected him, he had to find a way of still being "someone" whilst around Harry and I think that's why he always acted like he didn't care and he always tried to insult and belittle the others around him. Afterwards, in the last films, Draco realizes what side he is in and that he doesn't actually want to be the person he is becoming but his devotion to his parents is bigger than his own will so he ends up in the dark side. So yeah Draco is one of my favorite characters!
Actually my favorite characters are not really the common ones like Harry, Ginny, Ron or Hermione, but instead Draco, George and Fred. I've already explained Draco but about George and Fred I don't really know how to explain it... they have such an intense friendship and the fact that they're twins made them be even closer brothers.




After all this, I think all that's left to say is my Hogwarts House! I signed up to Pottermore (if you don't know what that is, please go check it out and lose your minds: https://www.pottermore.com) a couple years ago maybe? I don't know exactly but once I signed up I did the Hogwarts House quiz and the result was... Hufflepuff! Yeah I know there's a lot of misunderstanding about this house but yeah I'm a Hufflepuff and I'm proud Haha!


So, I don't know if this post was interesting enough or if it was good at all but I hope you liked it and if you did, please don't forget to share it!
Also, make sure to leave in the comments who are your favorite characters from Harry Potter and hey, do you know which Hogwarts House you belong to? Then leave that in the comments as well!

This Sunday is 8 years since my grandma died and it was the hardest day of my life and every year I write a text about her and I thought I would share this one!


Do you know what I recently remembered? I remembered when you were cooking and I would put your shoes on, get the kitchen trolley and I would pretend to sell you fruit and veggies and you would always play along… And the best is that you always did it with a smile!
Some people have a characteristic perfume and you were one of those people! But it wasn’t just the perfume, it was also your touch, your eyes, your smile and your fragile but yet sweet appearance. Along the past few years, I’ve found places that remind me constantly of you, smells, pictures and even people, like Ricardo Carvalho! I haven’t forgotten how much you liked his curls! In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten anything and there’s even some things that have gotten clearer over the years.
I know this will probably sound selfish but I want you here with me again, to hug me, to congratulate me and to tell me how proud you are of me!
Can we make a deal? You come back and I promise to help you cook and make your bed, I will tell you what I had for lunch no matter how many times you ask me, clean the house so you can sit down for at least 5 minutes and I will watch with you every tv show you like! I promise all this and I promise to better and do better and yes, I promise that “Caoina” (what I used to call myself when I was little) won’t get herself in any trouble!
I know I write this every year… but what does “once a year” mean when I’ve missed you every day for the past 8 years?

Make-up is one of the things that I'm mostly obsessed about! Lately I've been trying a lot of products that I wouldn't normally go for and I was very surprised with some of them! 
So, today I thought I would show you my 5 favorite make-up products.


1) Velvet passion matte lipstick 317 - Kiko
This matte lipstick is my absolute favorite lipstick of all time! It lasts all day and the color is beautiful! Although, it really dries your lips so I would advise you to moisturize your lips before using it. 
I always use it along with the everlasting color precision lip liner 314 and it helps to define your lips a lot better and it's really easy to apply.

2) Radiant touch creamy stick highlighter 101 - Kiko
I've always used this creamy highlighter, so I've never tried a highlighter powder but I don't actually feel the need to try because I feel like this creamy stick one is so easy to apply and also it lasts a long time and it gives your skin a really beautiful glow! I love it!

3) Matte face base - Kiko
This is probably my most recent product and it's my first face primer! I've always heard of people talking about primers and how it really made their make up look a lot better and it helped the foundation kind of sink in easier but I've never really thought it could change or make such a big difference as it does! Since my skin tends to get oily in certain areas during the day, I was advised to buy the matte one and it really does make my skin look better and I notice that my foundation suits my skin a lot better since I've started using it.

4) Nude palette - Sephora
This palette was one of my christmas presents and I fell in love with it because I'm crazy about nude/brown eyeshadows! It cames with 7 eyeshadows, 1 eye base, 2 highlighters, 2 eyeliners, 1 duo brush for eyeshadow and eyeliner, and 1 brown eye pencil. 
The eye base helps the eyeshadow to last longer and the colors are gorgeous! Also the brush is amazing and blends really easily! Lastly, the eyeliner is really pigmented but personally it's not my favorite to use because I prefer liquid eyeliner.

5) Graphic gaze double eye marker - Kiko
Last but certainly not least, this is my all time favorite eyeliner! I've had a few eyeliners before this one and I cannot tell you how much I like this one! The pen is like a regular eyeliner pen but it has a little ball at the end and it is flexible so it really helps to move your eyeliner pen and it will adjust to your movement. It also has 2 ends with different sizes so you can choose which one you want to go for.


This is it for my 5 make-up faves and as you can probably tell I love Kiko! Make sure to comment your favorite ones and tell me if you would like me to possibly show a make-up routine or a make-up haul! 
Also, don't forget to follow!

Two days ago, I finished my exams from the first semester which means this weekend it's all about getting cozy and relaxing! So this week I thought I would go through some of my essentials for a perfect comfy and relaxing day.

1 - Comfy clothes
The first on the list is obviously getting cozy clothes on and for me this means a random hoodie, leggings and warm socks. Honestly just putting these on makes me feel so much better! We all like to dress up to nice clothes to go out or something but comfy clothes are another level!

2 - Cup of coffee
One of my daily essentials is a cup of coffee and it tastes even better during these cold days where you just wanna warm up on the couch and do nothing all day. Just the smell of coffee makes me feel more relaxed and warm.

3 - Blanket
Even though I always go for warm clothes, I don't deny a warm blanket! So I go for the comfiest blanket I can find and basically just roll myself in it!

4 - Book
When I'm reading, I kind of forget everything around me including the time and just focus on the book and especially on these lazy days I love to basically live by the books and the fictional world!

5 - Laptop
However if I'm not in the mood for reading i grab my laptop and watch a few episodes of one of my favorite series (Might do a post about them soon! ahah) or just go on youtube and catch up on my favorite youtubers! Either one of these ideas seems like a good one to me! 

6 - Cat
Last but not least, one of my life essentials: my cat! She is an excellent company for me and I love to cuddle with her on the sofa or just on my bed and have her laying next to me so I can pet her while she sleeps next to me!

These are my essentials! What about yours? Make sure to leave them in the comments!
