Why ''F·r·i·e·n·d·s'' is still the best sitcom in the world


Good morning lovely people!

♫ So no one told you life was gonna be this way (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap)
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

I'll be there for you 
(When the rain starts to pour) 
I'll be there for you 
(Like I've been there before) 
I'll be there for you 
('Cause you're there for me too) 

Oh, Friends' theme song, it's all about the claps...
I started watching Friends after Anna (from Vivianna Does Makeup) constantly mentioned the series in her videos, because everyone knows that everything she recommends is just great. So I started watching it about a year a go and 6 seasons and 20 episodes later I'm still here wanting to watch the next episode, but scared at the same time because I don't want it to end. Only 3 seasons and 5 episodes to go, agh. I'm sure there's a lot of people reading this who don't know about this series or maybe they have heard about it but don't really know what is it about, so let me break it down a little bit:

What is ''FRIENDS''?
The best series/sitcom in the world.

Why?
It's funny, it makes you happy, you'll enjoy every single episode, all the characters are iconic and it also has tons of amazing quotes (that you'll reference all your life) such as:






Plot summary:
Follows the lives of six 20-something friends living in 1990s Manhattan, who are struggling to survive  in the real world.

The characters (situation at the start of the series):

(I'm such a Pro at Photoshop)

Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry): Joey's roommate, works for a large multinational corporation, funny, sarcastic and struggles with an on-and-off smoking addiction.

Monica Geller (Coutney Cox): Ross' sister, Rachel's high school best friend, chef, obsessive-compulsive and competitive nature, hard worker and mother hen of the group.

Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc): Chandler's roommate, food lover, womanizer, sweet and aspiring actor who becomes famous for his role as Dr. Drake Ramorey in the fictional version of ''Days of Our Lives''.

Ross Geller (David Schwimmer): Monica's brother, paleontologist, intelligent, quirky, clumsy and divorced from a woman who is a lesbian.

Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow): Was once homeless, aspiring musician, plays the guitar and sings songs at ''Central Perk'', the caffe, eccentric and has a twin sister.

Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston)Monica's high school best friend, spoiled daughter but warm-hearted, loves fashion, flees from her almost-wedding and starts working at ''Central Perk'' as a waitress.

What should you do right now?
Buy the DVD for the first season or... go to Netflix because it's now available there! I was so excited when they told me, you don't even know. Anyway, go and watch it, you won't be disappointed.

My question for you: What is your favourite series? Tell me in the comments, I would love to know!

Again, thanks Anna for making me discover this series, my life is better now.

Top 5 Autumn/Winter Beauty Products

Hello lovely people!
Today I'm going to talk about the beauty products I love using during the Autumn and Winter months. Obviously during these months the weather gets colder so our skin gets drier and specially our lips crack very easily, so we need products which gives us that extra boost or that extra hydration; the following products are the ones which help me achieve that.
Don't forget to tell me your favorite products in the comment section!

1. ''Eight Hour Cream'' by Elizabeth Arden
Price: 34€













In the Elizabeth Arden webpage they describe this product as ''legendary, award-winning skin protectant that does more than soothe sun-burned skin, rehydrate chapped lips, and heal rough elbows and calluses [...] keeping legs, lips and eyelids shiny; eyebrows in place; and cuticles perfectly manicured''.
This product is simply amazing, it has a balmy texture and I mainly use it on my lips when they are quite dry because in matter of seconds it moisturizes and gives a beautiful shine to them, I also use it on my elbows as I get very dry elbows easily.

2. ''Creme de Corps'' by Kiehl's
Price: 33€













This is hands down the best body moisturizer I've ever tried. It smells lovely and has a very buttery texture but it's not sticky or oily at all, it gets rid of any dry patches on your skin and just leaves your skin looking gorgeous and hydrated. What I specially love about this cream is it's quick absorption and the fact that it doesn't contain parabens, glycols or silicones (this is always a plus).

3. ''Ultra Facial Oil-Free Lotion'' by Kiehl's
Price: 24€













A few years ago when my mum got into the Kiehl's addiction one of the first products I tried from the brand was this lotion, I loved it so much but when it finished I don't really remember why I didn't repurchase it. A few weeks ago I bought it again and now I remember why I used to love it so much, it's the perfect facial moisturizer for an oily skin: it's not oily or drying, it just leaves your skin looking balanced and glowing (NOT oily).

4. ''Rosehip Oil''
Price: From 5-20€ (Depends on the brand)













Rosehip Oil is an amazing natural oil which my dermatologist recommended me a few years ago that doesn't only help you with dry patches and dry skin, it also helps you with scars from acne or any other kind of scar. I use one from my local pharmacy so it's not from a well known brand, but I've been told that this one from Trilogy is great and it's more accessible to buy.

5. ''Thermale Spring Water'' by Avène
Price: 12€













This product is great for sensitive skin, it's a thermal water which does a similar function of a toner but I wouldn't define it as a toner. This product helps to calm, sooth and balance your skin, I use it before my moisturizer, I spray it in a cross shape, I let it sink into my skin and then I remove the excess with a tissue with a tapping motion.
