I have been known to change my blog appearance a lot. Each time i find something that is different, yet easy to understand, or so I think. I am sure I will change it again in a few months, but for now I only do tweaks. When you land to my blog, is it easy to navigate? Do you know what everything is? What would you, as a reader expect to see, but don't? Any feedback (backed with reasons) is highly appreciated. Spotligths on the RedehadPS: Feel free to get technical. I understand code.

I'm not sure that this is the right theme for this sort of website. Blogs should have a very blog-centric theme to them. Static pages just aren't very good for this concept.
But if you decide to keep it, you need to find out exactly what the featured image proportions are because your Featured and Latest posts on the home page are distorted. It doesn't look inviting when the main focus of the website doesn't have the right sized graphics.

I think the load time is an issue. It took a while for it to load and I personally found the loading icon very annoying.
Your menu font is also pretty tiny, I think it could be bigger. I'm not sure the background image you chose for the first section of your parallax is the best choice. The red S is really hard to see on it, and when you scroll down to the makeup section it just feels really disjointed. The red on the dark background is really hard to read, a white overlay instead of a black one would be better I think.
You have some font disparities going on. They are both serif fonts that look very similar. I'd keep the menu serif font and go with that for the headings while going with a clean sans serif font for the paragraph text.
Some of your images are also getting squished in the latest posts section. I'd change your featured images to be sure they fit as they are supposed to.
On mobile the down scrolling animation is pretty jagged, and the background images appear to move as you scroll. The featured images also don't load right away when you scroll down so there ends up being the effect of them not appearing until you have scrolled down past the previous featured image. The pagination is overlapping its self "Page 1 of" is behind the page numbers and before the number 1 there is 10...but there's also 10 where it should be before next in the pagination.
I think it's a nice look, but a few enhancements could be made to improve the UX.
