The one and only Apple watch band you need!

I am super exited to share with you that in spring I bought the best apple watch band I have ever had. After you get this band, you will need no others! To start, I got my first Apple watch around 6 years ago, and since then I have been wearing it almost everyday. When I first got the watch, I got bands in different colors to match my outfits. I own red, light pink, blue and black bands. Later on, when the loop band came out, I purchased a black one and it was so convenient to wear that I stopped using the other bands. However, after approximately one year of wearing the loop band on most days, it started tearing. I thing a piece of jewellery damaged the plastic, and after 2 weeks it broke completely. This happened while I was on a business trip, in Sweden. On the same day I decided to go to the Apple store to purchase a new loop band and started talking with one of the co-workers at the Genius bar and that’s when she recommended me to purchase the Milanese loop band. After seeing all colors, I decided to purchase the band in gold and I have not taken it off since! This band is amazing because of so many reasons:

  • Style: the style is beautiful, it matches any outfit and looks beautiful with jewellery.
  • Performance: the size adapts perfectly to you wrist, it is great for any kind of activity, including workouts or even swimming.
  • Price: the price of the band is under $100! Same price as the plastic loop bands! Definitely the best value for money option of all original apple bands!

I cannot recommend this band highly enough. If you do not have it, get it! You will love it! After you get it, you will realise that it is the one and only band you need.

Best Mascaras: my top 3 options in 2022!

I do not wear much makeup, I love the classic “no make-up” look. However, I do need mascara to feel awake. If I had to choose only one makeup product to put on before going out, it would definitely be mascara. I have a very active life: working full time, traveling almost every week and working out several days a week. And it has been challenging to find a good mascara that that stays put throughout the whole day. I tested dozens of different ones and picked the top ones below, in three main categories: best overall, best budget mascara & best waterproof mascara. There were many other good ones, but I love simplicity and excellence, and therefore, decided to list only the three I considered the best.

1. Estee Lauder | Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lenghtening Mascara

This is the best mascara I have ever tried. It lasts the full day, over 16 hours without smudging. It’s easy to remove and makes your lashes look amazing! If you have not tried it, you definitely should! I only discovered this over one year ago and it changed my life!

2. essence | Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara

This mascara is very good, it makes your lashes look super full and lasts several hours. However, after 8 hours I did notice some smudging. I would recommend as best budget mascara. It’s also easy to remove and a favorite of many instragrammers.

3. eyeko | Beach Waterproof Mascara

After trying many mascaras, I discovered eyeko brand. They have a wide offer of really good mascaras. This one is my brand’s favourite as it lasts the longest without smudging and I consider it to be the best waterproof option available. It was my favorite mascara, until I discovered the Estee Lauder one listed at the top. Also, it makes your lashes look full but not too much, and it’s easy to remove. I would also recommend several of the other mascaras from eyeko.
