Pink negative space mani

I will continue this month to make pink manicures and support the breast cancer awareness cause!

This time I tried the negative space design with two pink polishes, Rimmel - Euphoria which is an oyster shade, silverish with a soft purple shimmer, in daylight it looks absolutely gorgeous! It is a hard shade to capture in photos! The other polish is Barry M. Bright Pink.

I added some round light pink studs.

Last weekend I spent some time with my family and friends in the mountains. I will share a few pictures with you. The weather was not so good, but the landscapes were breath taking beautiful!

Fruit and vegetable mix juice

Each week I make at least 4 or 5 kind of fruit and vegetable mixture juices. Not each of them is very tasty, I always try new combinations, and some of them are total failures. Today I show you one, that I drink a lot through the summer time but it can be made in any season. All you need for it is a powerful juicer and the ingredients:

4-5 middle sized apple

3 carrots

2 cucumbers

fresh ginger, not to much because it will be to spicy.

Fresh cucumbers are loaded with vitamin A, B, C, D, E, lignans, and flavonoids. These nutrients provide us with valuable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits.

Bright orange carrots are rich in nutrients, they are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants that are good for our health.

Aromatic and spicy ginger adds a special flavor in many fruit and vegetable dishes. Ginger boosts the immune system and it contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects on cells.

I recommend to drink it immediately to benefit all the vitamins from this great drink!

Think Pink

October is the month of breast cancer awareness and the fashion & beauty bloggers from Romania supports this cause with an all pink day!

Did you know that yearly 78 000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Romania? This number is very high and this is just here, in our country. How many are in the world? So this post is to encourage each woman, to get regular checks, because the earlier cancer is detected, higher that it can be treated successfully. I am talking from experience, I am a breast cancer survivor, yes, I am going to turn 39 this month and I had breast cancer. It was the most horrible period in my life and I really thought that my life will end soon. But I am here and I appreciate each second of my life. The fear of a relapse is very big, but I am hoping for the best. I could tell you a lot of stories about younger and older women who fought with me together, I met a lot of extraordinary women trough my journey and my heart goes out for all those who are fighting in this moment! My message to you is, go for regular check ups, it doesn't hurt and it can save your life!

My manicure has a story. After I knew that I am cancer free I wanted to make a tattoo with a butterfly and the pink ribbon, the symbol of breast cancer awareness. But my husband, who has two tattoos told me that it hurts and he does not recommend me. Until know I didn't made the tattoo but I didn't give up the thought to have one. The design that I would like to have on my body is the one from the pictures bellow. I like it very much, for me it represents freedom, a life free from cancer! So, I tried to paint it on my nails.
