I have a confession to make: I have been absolutely adoring Dior lately! I sort of love everything they put out beauty wise recently. I can’t say it any other way… I’ve also been reading so much about the Diorific line and I love the new nail lacquer collection. Especially the transparent one with the golden flakes, called Golden Shock (Duh! Sparkles!!!). I saw them worn over the Diorific Smoky nail polish and I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. Evidently, I already have the holidays on my mind and I’m already thinking festive ensembles; and this on my nails is gonna make me look so elegant and ladylike! I have to say though that I originally thought Smoky was black, but I discovered it isn’t. It’s actually very dark purple, but that just makes it all the more special.

You have to know that whenever I see something new that I really like, I have this imaginary neon sign in my head that flashes on and off and spells “Want! Want! Want!” :-) I openly “daydreamed” about it on my facebook profile (which isn’t public, sorry) and it generated a lot of (positive) reactions from many female friends. As Dior is kind of of a higher price range, I thought I’d wait till pay day and then see if I could order or buy it somewhere.  

But… last Saturday we had some friends over and guess what… one of my best friends said she’d been shopping and something made her think of me… She had a little gift for me, wrapped in the tiniest Ici Paris Xl bag. I honestly had no idea what it was at first but then I opened it and the first thing I saw was a little golden box that had “Diorific” on it. I just about lost it! Lol My God, I blab about it on facebook and a week later my best friend gifts it to me! Don’t I have the best of friends ever? I was so over the moon! 

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bottle. Judging by the pics I’d seen, I assumed it was gonna be much much smaller. The size of the seasonal colours Yves Rocher has every summer/winter. They come in cute little bottles. But no, this one is really much bigger! I don’t have the smoky nail polish yet but I couldn’t wait and tried it over the one I still had on. And I love it! The sparkles spread surprisingly well and they dry really quick. Also, it doesn’t feel like there’s something on your nail when you touch it (I hate that). It feels really flat and looks beautiful! (Please excuse my granny hands - I know - I hate them! Blah!)

Signed, a very lucky girl! 

First off, I apologize for my new profile selfie. I know it’s lousy but I will have another, better one up soon!

I’m back… about time, I know! I’m sorry I haven’t been able to post anything these last few weeks, but I’ve had a really crazy (social) RL month. I’m not gonna bore you with details, but it isn’t over yet, by far! But… just because I didn’t have time for my blog, doesn’t mean I haven’t been lurking on the net (what’s new, what’s in and what more!). I don’t have anything ready as of yet (reviews or stuff), but I will share my november haul with you before the month is over, I promise! And I have a (long) wish list that I want to share with you too!

For now, I decided to use this opportunity to show you what I’m eating this Friday noon. I love tabouleh. I discovered it just this summer and I really like it! I doesn’t take long to prepare and you can throw in whatever you like and get a good decent meal out of it! Just randomly pick some things out of your fridge and throw it in the bowl!

 

As you can see on the pic I’m having some sort of “tabouleh caprese”. I’m not even that into tomatoes but every now and then, I force myself into eating some just because they’re healthy and good for your body (I know, don’t even try to understand me! Some people have called me weird before J). I’m also a big corn lover, sweet corn that is. I use it in every salad or tabouleh I make because I like the taste. And then there’s mozzarella of course and some basil oil, apple vinegar and pepper to season everything off. I know the eye wants its part and I should’ve probably added something green, but I didn’t have anything in my fridge so…

 

I had this with a slice of wholegrain bread but I’m also not really a fan of bread in general. It makes my tummy swell and we women don’t like that, don’t we?

So there you have it: my lunch for today! If you didn’t know tabouleh before but like rice or other grains, I suggest you give it a try. It’s really easy to prepare and it’s delicious! Yummy!
