The last blog post i wrote was about my escapades at my small cabin in the Baisoara Mountains and as i have returned for a few days, i thought i’d show my essentials bag.

Because i take a break from make-up and mostly even skincare itself, i do make sure i have moisturizer on me and i start with my hands. the hand cream iām finishing up at the moment is the Marc Cain one. It has a very gentle smell and itās not greasy nor sticky, things which i look for, in a hand cream.
*i think it was a limited edition as i cannot find a link for those interested š

This chapter is a difficult one as i am transitioning to a cruelty free lifestyle and iām having a hard time finding a good and natural deodorant. I brought the simple Ice Crystal deodorant with me, which is basically mineral salt in a stick. It has no smell, itās 100% natural and it does the job pretty good if youāre not a very sweaty person š . I pretty much am, so iām looking for better versions without the harm of animal testing š
*you can find it in DM

This little dude is a great helper with my allergies(cats, dust, pollen). HayMax (i have the lavender one) is an organic, drug-free pollen barrier. If allergies appear, you can apply a small amount at the base of your nostrils after sneezing. *you can find it in Sensiblu

I try to be pretty careful with applying spf, thatās why i brought a face one of 30. Iāts pretty good, although itās pretty small and not quite cheap. I will not be repurchasing as Biotherm is not cruelty free. So leave your recommendations in the comments š *bought from Sephora

One Ā of the face moisturisers i use at the moment is from Prisaca Transilvania (a natural and very light one) called Sanzaiana which i use by night(i bought it from a market with all natural things if i am not mistaking). i use it mainly when my skin is a bit tired and sensitive as it has no perfumes and only natural ingredients.

Ā The Ordinary Ā cream which i love and use pretty regularly has a lovely delicate smell and itās a bit thicker in consistency without leaving my face greasy. I enjoy this brand as it is cruelty free and i will be repurchasing for sure. *i received it in a #lookfantastic subscription box.

Stress check- Breathe in- Ā from ThisWorks. Love love love
Such an interesting little roll on for those busy moments or stressful days. Not that my days are stressful here, quite the contrary, but i always keep this baby by my side because 99% of the time i am a stressed mess. The ones who know me, will agree:)) Itās said to be applied onto pulse points and breathe deeply. *from #lookfantastic as well.

I will never have an essentials list without a perfume. Even if iāll be going in a deserted place where no one can smell me. I am a perfume addict and i am not afraid to say it. The big issue is that the majority of the perfumes are not from cruelty free brands so i will be struggling in this area as well. The perfume i chose to bring is a very dear and repurchased one. Jesus del Pozo – Halloween . whoever owns it, knows why Ā š fresh, clean and crisp.
*bought from www.aoro.ro

A body cream never hurt anyone although i have no shower here :)) I always need at least a small little baby size body cream with me. The Body Shopās Moringa is a body milk and fits perfectly in the hot summer days. *you can find it on TheBodyShop sites or Iulius mall if you are in Cluj

And last but certainly not least, is a hand sanitiser from Bath and body works. This one is the Champagne Sparkle but to be honest i own almost every one of them and i got addicted really fast. i have one in the car, in every bag, in my bedroom and at the studio. Ā Always comes in handy š
