ZARA RED DRESS OUTFIT | L'OCCITANE OPENING

Here is my outfit for the L'Occitane store opening in Riga last week. If you missed the post, click here to read it. Thanks to my amazing friend Alice, for taking these photos below.

This was a really fun evening and it was nice to go to an event in Riga again since I'm not living in Latvia any more. :) 

Thank you's go out to Deniss Schevelove (@fashionslogger), L'Occitane and everyone who participated in the making of those delicious macaroons and to whoever brought the champagne! 

THE LAUNCH OF L'OCCITANE STORE IN RIGA | VIDEO

On Thursday I was invited to the L'Occitane store opening in Riga, Latvia (yes, I am home for holidays!) at Spice shopping centre. The store is very cozy and filled with nice scents. 

If you don't know what L'Occitane is, now you will. :) It is an international retailer of body and face cosmetics, made in France. 

The meaning of the name is "The Occitan (a Provence) woman", which was new for me and gave the brand much more personality. Each of the range they have, tells a different story. I really like their packaging, which you can see in the photos and video below.

Other than that I am happy that the store is back (they had a store here in Latvia a while ago and now, after a break, they are back, hopefully - to stay) because I used to get nice presents for my dad there (they have an amazing men range). 

If you want to see more of the opening and the products, I filmed my first ever video and am very excited to share it with you! I have been wanting to make videos for a while now, but didn't have the right equipment. Now I am all in for it. :)

Here is my first video ever of the store launch. Try to not mind the shaking and focusing. ;)

Their Verveine range is one of my ultimate favourites! I love everything about it - fromthe packaging to the amazing scent.

Their products not only are great for skin and smell amazing but make a great bathroom decor as well! 

Treat your brother, dad or lover with their men products. My dad loved them!

TREAT YOUR BODY WITH FRANK SCRUB

Yesterday I first tried this super trending product called Frank Body scrub. And, to be honest, my expectations weren't that high since I have always made a coffee scrub by myself and it worked really well. I mean, why would I pay extra money on this kind of scrub, if I can do the same at home. 

Not exactly. First impression when receiving the package was really good. I love how personal they make it and let you believe that 'Frank' is actually your pal and cares about how you treat your body. Who knows, but I love the idea. 

Then comes the part where you open the package by tearing the top off and smell the product. I was impressed that it didn't have any obnoxious perfumes in it and the scrub smells wonderful, natural (like coffee, of course) and with a tiny hint of almonds. You can choose which one your prefer from 4 types of scrubs - the original that I have, cocoa, coconut and peppermint, which is the newest one it the range. By the way, they just released a body balm, so I can't wait to try that one.

They say that 2 small handfuls of scrub should do the trick and cover your whole body, that's exactly how much I needed. Then I gently rubbed the scrub on my body (focusing on problem areas) with circular movements. This part felt amazing because, as a scrub, I could feel the rough coffee touch and it felt like I am actually cleaning off all of the dry skin and cleansing my body. Wait 5-10 minutes and rinse it off. Oh my.. This felt so good. The almond oil that's in the scrub left my skin smooth and soft. I could not stop stroking my legs, haha. Since scrubs shouldn't be used more than 1-2 times a week, this product will last a while for sure.

Lately I have been feeling slightly depressed and tired so this was a great way how to treat and cheer myself up. The coffee really woke me up and the process felt like a massage. I highly recommend this to everyone. The product comes from Australia and is vegan, which is even better. 

The shipping is free all over the world as well, which is a HUGE plus from me. I will definitely continue using this scrub and try the other types as well. 

I suggest you go to their website and read about all of the other scrubs as well. Give it a go! I loved it.

Treat your self!
