How to keep your hair on point all day (even on the road!)

How to keep your hair on point all day? That's an easy question - just braid it! The city I live in is very windy because it's close to the beach, I have extremely long hair and bangs, so you can imagine the nightmare it is to live in Aveiro! So when I'm not in the mood for messy crazy flying-all-over-my-face hair, I simply braid it. There are loads of tutorials on youtube on how to make all kinds of braids and updos... To be honest, I'm not very good at it, but my friends, specially Maria (who has short hair), are always happy to give me a hand. (P.S.: Yes, it's me in all the pictures.)

Gap-year volunteers: constructive help or waste of time and money?

First of all, what is the "gap-year"? It is a year teenagers skip school after they finish highschool, and in which they can do whatever they want. During this year, I believe they'll mature and most defenitely find answers for the future. Gap-year volunteering is, for sure, not a waste, neither of time or money.

During this time teens will learn a lot, about the world and specially about themselves, and if they can volunteer to help people at the same time, I can only see advantages. Some may say it's a year wasted, a year when they should be studying in college, but, in my opinion, if they aren't mature enough for college, they are wasting time anyway! Nevertheless, some can still argue it is a waste of money, but I say: knowledge and experiences are priceless. Helping others is more rewarding than money.

To sum up, I believe gap-year brings multiple advantages - maturing, learning, experiencing, seeing, doing! - so just go for it and have the time of your life,

Pretty Things Pt.2 | Figueira da Foz, Portugal

Click to read Part 1.

As we carried on walking we passed the marina, which I found beautiful! It's an amazing place to go for a walk or to jog, to have a cup of coffee or simply to hang out.

Anyone who knows me or has read some of my post knows that I'm crazy about mosaics, "azulejos" and "calçada portuguesa" which is this kind of floor composed by small cubes of stone, usually granite or limestone.

You can see my outfit, very warm and comfy.

And some streetart close to the beach.
