Let me start by saying thank you for stopping by!

Let me introduce myself, my name is Alex. I’ve been living in the UK for slightly more than a year now, and let me say – I love it! I started this blog because, since moving from little Switzerland to this massive, windy island, I’ve discovered so many things that I would like to share with you guys!

Since arriving here, I’ve tried things like pies and mushy peas, cider, ventured into taking the tube to go to places (and losing the sole of my shoe doing so), got lost in London, tried food from all over the world, fought to get my first flat, got my first job…you guessed it, plenty of “firsts”.

The point is, I’ve seen and tried so many interesting things, and some of them grew to become new passions. I have always been interested in beauty and make-up, but before, I was pretty much limited to my local drugstore shelves. Now, there’s a world out there of little and big stores, filled with the newest beauty-finds from all over the world. I got into liking Korean cosmetics for their innovative, fun products, or African-inspired haircare that uses raw, natural products. And they’re just waiting to be tried and reviewed so that you can discover them too or to help you make a decision.

But wait, we’re not done yet.

If you’re not really into make-up or skincare, don’t worry – I still got you covered! I will also be writing about life in England, yummy foods and diets, travelling, and everything else that comes to mind! 🙂

So, thank you for reading and I shall write again soon!
