What I've done all this time

It’s been some time since I was loving this place!! 

Not that I wasn’t when I wasn’t. Thank you for all your time and energy spent on reading my posts and checking Facebook page. 

It’s been a long ride till now! Difficulties in becoming a mother made me leave a croupier life. Searching for new solutions I reached for old skills. Piano and yoga. So obvious and yet I had to be pinned down to notice where my change should be. 


And so it began.
It was hard to combine baby-managing with
vintage, guess depends on the baby. But adding yoga instructor on top of this baby made it like a bad joke. Things were deeply out of control, same as my pin curls.
Also concluded my face shape was never good for short curly hairstyles in the end.
Let’s face it, how will you do headstands and spend the whole hour with your head
down and up and down and up and keep your hairstyle intact. It's like sticking your head out of the car window going with crazy speed. 


You know what I mean if you do yoga sometimes😉


If you’re here you know Ditas Pilates outfit. Obviously. 







..and my absolute favourite..50s skirt over leggings!!


Tried that but then most of my time in black made me believe colours you wear strongly influence your life. It’s just impossible. Felt like psychopath opening the wardrobe with hundreds of identical outfits.

So had a long romance with Kate’s Hudson Fab letics instead.



Liked it a lot until asked myself How many leggings can you possibly own? 

'Too much is enough’.. unless the website breaks down.


If you’re wondering if it's a scam, no it’s not. But you do agree to pay to your Fab account £44 each month and it will be taken after 5th or so unless! you press skipping button before that time. If you forget, sorry it’s gone waiting on your account to be spent. You can call and argue for your money using all sorts of arguments like hysterical screaming or begging. 

Both work. And you’ll get your money back. If you need additional discount just say you'll close your account. If you need anything just keep saying you'll close your account. You most likely get it😃
But keep in mind, guys working there seem to be only programmed for giving or giving back but not sorting out. That way I still can't access the website and my shopping is over. Color made me feel just simply better. So No Dita style with wavy hair around my head.


It’s been nearly three years, just about time to plan a second baby, when I started to look ..just better.
I seriously reduced amount of make up and at some point along the way my skin started to look better . Loose powder always used to leave dry patches on my nose. 





Cosmetics; same old same old and strongly recommended;







But with CoRoNa V on the loose, the world is so different as never before. No more contact. No more hands on people yoga teachings. Just online zoom communication. 

By the way, www.Zoom.us is doing great these days😉



Even though I started slow Hatha yoga in 1999, I felt in love with dynamic vinyasa. When decided to go full time as a yoga teacher, completed super compressed intense The Power Yoga Company teacher training in London in order to go full steam ahead. Became Yoga Alliance member and went wild starting my own small Hot yoga studio. 


But for now I only hold online classes; it's all about being there when it goes well just to wait to see all going bad and then getting better to good and in the end bad and good and so on.

Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.” 
The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”
The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune.
Alan Watts

Now, since pandemic, left with internet yoga-action I can only 'see people' onlineTeaching dynamic Vinyasa (Hot Vinyasa with added 'home made' heat hehe) and Pranayama. If your intrigued visit my retro yoga website www.yogaga.org

or write or call and maybe! we shall see each other some time.

Dita legend frames

Can't look at yourself? Need a change?
I mean something more than just spending £200 on bras and knickers on sale...
There are only few things you can do; change your hair colour, do Botox or buy new frames
Lady in fancy optician salon tried to accuse me of wearing blank lenses but quickly I won this battle. -0,5 and -0,75 with -1 astigmatism in one eye. Yes!!!!!!

I thought stick to what you know..Dior cd 3207



So decided at first to get what I already have just in different color. Old reliable frame that's getting cheaper and cheaper facing end of production line.



Or dolce gabbana dg 3071 that I used as my sunglasses. 
Maybe white? Pink? Just to make me look even more suspicious..

And then suddenly after few weeks Rhonda Byrne with her "secret" brought me Dita von teese frames!!! Immediately in some sick state of extase started to research the net, photos and calling around all shops in London. 
I run around london like crazy shooting selfies since that's the only way how you can find out about yourself and frames.
Definitively recommend large wine before so others get drained to your good aura and propose to shot photos of you. Everyone.. Staff, people shopping...




 selling theo.be






One lady run out after me just to tell me "even if it cost fortune take it!!!"
So decided Dita Velour. Have no idea why everywhere they tried to sell it for 430-460 + lenses and first shop I went to offered me £340 and lenses for free in special offer.


£ 340 + free lenses with antiscratch and uvblock
additional £45 and will get you self cleaning... (what?)

They did try to convince me I need self cleaning ones for £45 already half priced but No.
Which color?? A little bit here, a little bit there and you know it.


Someone in the eye company informed me that dior and all those fancy brands are simply a shit. Produced in China from cheap materials with printed sign made in Italy where someone probably only put a tiny screw after frames arrive from Asia just to say we made it here. It gets easily damaged, distorted, and goes out of production quickly. It's a shit.
I said but I have dior...
Yes, I know- said gently...
Offered me to make Dita velour in nocolor means pure crystal for only £300.
Or any other shape or colour since they produce own frames. Not bad!! Something to think of if you want to go crazy or recreate vintage.

Capri Pedal Pushers



Hard to distinguish one from the other.
What according to Vivien of Holloway is pedal pushers is Capri according to Wikipedia and the other way around.
Most likely VOH is simply wrong.
Anyway...
I did buy grey VOH pedalpushers in my apparently rare size since it took me a year or so to get it in quite neutral color. 



The problem is; it's cotton which is good and bad because very quickly it gets creased.
Waist is tight but leg trousers are too wide for my taste.

(red patent leather calvin klein flats, trashy diva ginger jacket, red VOH wide belt, pink cotton gingham shirt, bobbie jerome velvet clutch bag)

The only trousers I'd like to try are cigarette pants from Freddies of pine wood

Dita and Art Deco

I would buy absolutely anything what Dita von Teese would decide to sell. And I mean everything, even Art Deco cosmetics that aren't renowned for excellent quality.
Art Deco, decent brand.
Not thinking long I bought ;
637 Follies Pink lipstick
620 Parlez-vous 
607 Bon Bon
Lip liner 6 Vermillion 
and 10 Dame
Eye liner with a brush
Nail Polish 10 Dragon Red Lady
and 25 Femme Fatale
369 Opulence sparkling eyeshadow

Eye shadows are so nice, toned and bright. I promise myself to buy more. Opulence the one I have is too soft... I use it only under eyebrows. Too soft but well, Dita almost made it by hand!



About nail polish...I don't really understand the idea of using silver-ish 180 moonlight, that could be great worn by itself, described in Art Deco inspiring instructions as the base under 30s - 40s half moon manicure which is a pure nonsense!!! 
Half moon manicure  was created as half moon to give glamorous look to growing nails. So it always looks nice. Simple. By using moonlight base it will just grow as one piece coloured nail and the effect will be just as ordinary as fully painted nails. The point is Not To Use any base, just colour in half moon shape.
Dragon Red Lady is in excellent colour for me. My skin is with cold, blue, pink undertones. This red is with drop of pink and maybe violet, there's something cold about it so it fits great. However I think all warm toned skin ladies should skip it.
It's not resistant though...
Every day for hours I spin the ball on roulette circle so I do test nail polish.
Dior -my lovely Saint Tropez- and Mac Shirelle -which was just too warm for me- have not comparable strength and so if I do it once a week it looks great.
Art Deco last in my lifestyle 4 days and it's dead gone.
Femme fatale I'm saving for later.



Eye liner, gel, is suppose to be waterproof -at least I read it somewhere - but is very very far from it. Just after few hours it leaves a mark. However I found an easy way to live with it, just applying line of dark eye shadow where the mark appears.
Before I've been using amazing Waterproof liquid MAC eye liner which is absolutely everything resistant. To remove it, is another kind of art. It takes time and patience.
But it dries quickly in the package and fast you need buy another one for 20GBP. Also right after applying it's necessary to wait before looking up. It dries long when applied and can make small marks which can not be removed, so you need to fight with a bit of oil and fixing everything again. 
Dita's liner is black black, not so difficult to draw a line but not so quickly either. I know I won't buy it again but it looks quite economical so maybe after years we'll split finally.


Lipstick Follies Pink made me very satisfied. It's quite toned, rather deep dark pink without fluorescent reflexes. 




Parlez-vous is a red lipstick with orange undertones.



Bon bon, well... drying lips as much as possible. I've never had to use any moisturiser under lipstick but it changed with bon bon. Right away lips look cracked and dry. 



Bon bon doesn't really cover, is in 1/4 this kind of light kind. It disappears in few hours. Dita recommends to blend it with her Vermillion lip pencil - which is just perfect together with Parlez-vous - and yes it is possible to blend it but the outcome looks similar to Parlez-vous just slightly brighter and it needs constant correction. I wanted to have orange lipstick so I resigned melting it with Vermillion liner and quickly it appeared I have no liner at all to use it with this pure orangy orange. So I started to wear it without any liner and it works! but I have to put moisturiser and lipstick together and correct it the same way over and over again. In the end of the day I have cracked lips.
Never, ever again.
Anyway Dior's lipsticks are always No 1. so probably that's just one time thing with Art Deco.
Lip pencils are goood! I like when it's rather hard just like drawing pencils (HB or even H1).
Vermillion goes with red - red and Dame with dark red fits perfectly with Pink follies.




In generally is OK....as long as Dita promotes it. But I would never buy it in UK. For some reasons -taxes- it is 1/3 more expensive than anywhere else. I did my shopping in www.igruszka.pl
and in German online shops on google.de I found all I need which is unavailable above.

Dita's secrets in British Metro






I guess it's not the most suitable for broken blood vessels on the face like mine. This fun cost around 200 GBP.



Diorsnow is definitively something to look into. It's just a feeling that La Mer is rather overrated. Refissa cream you can get only if you have prescription. But on eyecream.org you can read about Veralyze eye cream which is easier to get..in US. But what about Europe? I guess there's only one place to buy it veralyze.com

Detox Solution
1 1/2 cups water
1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped
3-4 stalks organic celery
1/2 head of a large bunch or 3/4 of a small bunch of spinach
1 organic apple, cored and chopped
1 organic pear, cored and chopped
1 organic banana
Juice of 1/2 fresh organic lemon

Optional:
1/3 bunch organic cilantro (stems okay)
1/3 bunch organic parsley (stems okay)
