Sorry guys, I've been MIA because of the state exams. I studied for about 2 days, haha. But at first, I was all like I'm going to study at least for 2 weeks. 

I invited my dear friend over, Petra, she lives in the same area as I do, and we have the best time always, when we are together! :) I knew she would come, so I baked home-made muffins (lemon-cinammon-chocolate ones) and prepared the raspberry-mint-lemon home-made lemonade. She brought the watermelon which was sooo delicious! And we made some coffee to get caffein in our systems for better studying. 

Yeah..studying..:D

As we thought, we didn't study at all. So my tips for studying hard is to invite over a good friend, chat about everything you think of, eat some good food, home-made goodies, sun tanning and so on. 

We also went for a lunch to a pizza place, here in our neighborhood, which was very good! 

We just tanned and talked about everything, ate some watermelon, drank our drinks and put our scripts and study materials aside on the table, just in case we would want to use them. 

At the end of the day we were looking at photos of our previous adventures :) 

At this point I was like, I'm not going to pass the state exams! Guess what, I passed them with all the glory, I got A A A and B from my thesis. I'm so surprised and proud of myself :) 

I've been thinking a lot about getting permanent fake eyelashes. I've been instragraming and searching via other blogs to find, if it would suit me, how to take care of it, and so on.

I worked as a receptionist with a bunch of beautiful girls which experienced this kind of eyelashes and they weren't satisfied with the results. I heard that I'll lose many of them in a week, how it will look like a broom after a few days, how it's hard to take down or fix them, that it costs so much every month to repair and add new lashes. Then I googled some salons in my city and there were forums and women were like "don't ever get them here and here, I got red swollen eyes" etc. So.. I didn't want them anymore. But then..

Then, one day, I met my old classmate, back from the elementary school. She got this beautiful long, very real-looking eyelashes. I'd decided I had to have pair of those! She gave me number to a girl which is really good and she does this kind of eyelashes as a freelancer.  I made an appointment, met with her and lied there for about 3,5 hours because I got complications with the sticky thing which holds your lower lashes apart. 

The application usually takes from 1.5 hour to 3 hours, it depends on many factors, such as if anything hurts you or if you want a volume etc. 

Then I opened my eyes and she was like " Wow Vanda, you don't even have red eyes!" And she said it's common that the eye is very sensitive to the glue exhalations and that almost every woman has red eyes. So I was happy because I was so worried about getting my eyes sore or red.

Me Before & After...Yes, I needed it,haha

It's like a miracle, once you have the eyelash extensions done. It looks so real (if it's done properly) and.. I really needed it, as you can see. My eyelashes are really short and like an asian type (short, roof shaped) when I don't use mascara or something it looks like I'm a boy haha. 

I got many many compliments, some people thought they are my real ones,haha.

The morning after

I've always wanted to be like one of those girls who constantly put the "mirror pics" of their outfits on Instagram or Facebook, but I didn't have a good outfit (more like grandma style, you know) or I was shy because of my fat legs :D

So, I finally decided I'm good to go and share my outfit of the day!

And maybe even if you're healthy you think that that's the most valuable "thing" in your life. More than money, love and everything. 

Hold on that thought! Be healthy and cherish everyday when you are healthy.  When nothing bothers your body, you are a free person! You can do everything, doing sports, traveling without thinking about your health condition. 

Remember one thing! One day you are healthy and another you may be not! Therefore, live healthy lifestyle. Not just to lose some weight, but because is really necessary to keep you in the best condition. Stop taking sugar in your coffee, exercise at least 2-3 per week, eat less bread, drink at least 2 L water a day. Take shower everyday, wash your hands after toilette, don't share a towel with anybody, don't let anybody drink from your bottle.

These little things help you to stay healthy and in very good condition, so you can live longer and enjoy your life to the fullest!

Do not wait for tomorrow to stop eating sweets or do a few jumping jacks. Start today! And in a week you'll be happy that you did!

:) good luck

LIVE, love & laugh

My favorite picture. two best buddies <3

And the sun went down and we were chilling..:) 

This post is inspired by the recent events of the Norwegian boy who got a tattoo of McDonald's receipt. 

This tattoo is a just receipt from McDonald's - some fries and mcflurry etc. 

And the answer is WHATEVER. It's his life, and, as he said "My choice".  (For those who don't know he lost a best with his friends and he could got tattoo of this or a Barbie doll on his butt. )

Why do people hate tattoos? Why people are like "your tattoo has to have a deeper meaning!" Why is that so? I found many "stories" behind this tattooed young man. Someone found out that at least it has a deep meaning because it's a receipt from the last meal he had with his deceased mother at McDonald's, so everyone just calmed down. How pathetic. 

I don't get why people tend to hate other's people permanent decisions. Do people with tattoos offend people without tattoos that "Hey man, I don't get why you don't have any tattoos, your life is pointless!" Do they? No. 

I think it's similar with religion. Christian people try to turn you to God, to be a believer and that's all okay because it is like God pleases, but when a non-believer, an atheist tries so say that there is no God, it's not okay,  and so on and so on. 

So why a tattoo has to have a deeper meaning? Why? I get when a person gets a tattoo as a picture of his family or a pet, but why do a fun, spontaneous tattoo, has to be very serious. Just because is forever? And? It's his body not yours, who gives you a power to judge other's people life decisions? 

I admit, some part of my life I wasn't very different from these "tattoo-judging-types" because I found that very rough and rebellious and that wasn't me.  But as soon as I got a little tiny tattoo with 3 words I was like that was fun, that was adrenaline, I want more. Sure, people should reconsider what they're getting if they want a serious job where they don't like tattoos etc, but it doesn't mean it can't be fun. I saw many worse tattoos that this one, and actually I like this one. 

I was at lunch with my co-workers the other day,  and one of them has a tattoo, some samurai on his hand. All people at the table started "why did you get this, what does it symbolizes" and I was like "Why man? Why it has to symbolize something. He just liked it at the time. Maybe he won't like it in a long-term but that's something he has to live with, NOT YOU! And people with tattoos don't see it like a special event, they see it like an amazing art they can carry around forever. And tattoo artists are artists like Picasso or Monet or whoever. For them is a human body just a plain canvas where they can express themselves." 

It's their decisions and asking "why did you get it" it's awful and doesn't change a thing about their love to tattoos. It's just irritating, so..please stop. 

Ohhh yeah!

Finally! The sunny spring day came, and I could't be more happy.  We were all waiting for this day to come because we love to meet on my boyfriend's garden to grill, talk about things, play some games and laugh together!

So here are some my favorite moments of this first grill session. It's an opening grill session for the 2014 grill season. I'm looking forward to all those grill weekends ahead and don't worry, I'll keep you updated :)

I wanted to share some personal pictures with you guys, I don't have very visual blog which is bad because the good blog is all about great HD pictures. These were all taken on my iPhone 4S, but I'd love to have a real camera one day! 

I know it's been a while since I've posted a blog, but my current job it's all about social media, so, at the end of the day I'm quite exhausted to post or do anything with social sites, haha.

It was really a great beginning for this year's season (talking about it like it it's NFL or something :D) and I hope there will be many more weekends like this to come! :) I love them all so much and I'm really grateful to have them in my life! (Thanks Pilčo for introducing them to me :P)

The smell of the heating grill and fire..and my sweetheart! 

One of the final products. yummy!

*sigh*

 I must admit, writing this post is a little bit awkward for me. I have a brother and I've been trying to help him since ever and every time I tried, I failed. 

Therefore, my question is -  how to help a helpless person? Is there any way? Any chance? Will it , eventually, turn out? 

He turned 28, recently (December) and he still does not have a serious job. But he is not willing to get one either. He always waits for the best conditions and constellation of stars, he always runs away when the discussion is about him and his no-life and... I am just frustrated. 

Yeah, surprisingly, he got a girlfriend, the whole family accepts her, but she is not helping him either. She is happy when he takes her  in father's car and she is happy when she eats out of our fridge in the midnight ( because other people in this house do not sleep, of course...) and she does not push him... Maybe she does not see it because she is in love so much, but what do I know, right? 

So, basically, he has this beautiful room, full of new furniture (which my father bought him, obviously) and a laptop, old Nokia, which does not bother him (because he hasn't experience d advantages of having a smart phone) and that's it. He uses our wifi, he eats out of mum's fridge and she cooks for him (yes) and he uses our bathroom (i share with him) and he does not clean after himself. AND HE IS FULL OF EXCUSES (and this runs in our family )

But he doesn't have a life. He doesn't have a social life. He doesn't have friends anymore, he got no job, he doesn't attend school because he failed his exams and he is not so willing to get back to school  again. He is almost in his 30s and doesn't give a shit about his situation ! And this is driving me mad! His life is basically going through his fingers.

I care so much about him, I am trying to convince him, saying "try to send CV here and here", but that is not a job which would suit him because he must've been working 8 hours per day and not getting thousands of euros... 

My father loves him, he got four daughters and just this one son. So sometimes, when my father conquers his room and wakes him up (because my bro loves to play a lot - pc games - and sleeps during the day, how "awesome" is that) and persuades him to get up and help him, after long four hours, my brother comes to my dad and apologies and they are good again and they chop wood or something "manly" together. 

And my father forgets everything, because he is just fine when someone is nice to him. Which I can't stand. Because they are not asking him for rent or anything either, which would probably cause that he would be forced to move his ass and work. 

And this is getting on like forever. So his girlfriend doesn't care if he has some money or  future plans, he doesn't want to get married or settle either. He dreams of being a stunt (like our father was) but he never really worked for it or convinced someone that he is a fit for this job. He got a gig like 3 years ago and he was asleep and always late and my father's old co-workers just couldn't stand him.  He never truly wanted to be a stunt man but he wants it because he is lazy, wants to earn thousand of euros in a couple of months and probably to be famous and our father has connections. But he doesn't have it in him. 

He is very talented in many other ways and very intelligent too, but he is the laziest person alive and also a procrastinator professional which is very sad. 

He is unemployed his whole life and he is almost 30 years old. He just plays video games or meets with his GF and that's it. That is the one third of his life like. 

Please, if you have or had a family member like this in your family, help me. How to get a person like this to make things happen, to get a job, to change his life? Is there anything? :( 

Please comment bellow. 

Have a nice day, 

xoxo <3

Ironically, I started this blog with the first post about New Year's Resolutions. And I have to admit I did not fulfill any of them.. :( 

So, this year is NOW OR NEVER. No, I'm not going to cut my hair off if I do not succeed, or to punish myself for skipping some things. I just want everything to mix up in my life, so that it will become a natural part of my everyday life. 

For instance, I want to be more active. Not like drinking and partying all day, err day. I just want to go roller-blading, ice-skating or biking instead of sitting in a pub drinking without a purpose. I want to host more tea parties and movie nights instead of sitting in someone's living room listening to all that crap! 

So here is my list. It is very similar to the system, which is in my favorite book (and only book I read in the year 2013..:/ ) PROJECT OF HAPPINESS by Gretchen Rubin.  She wrote about specific goals she would like to achieve in each month. But me, instead of setting goals in a month, I just want to apply them as many as I could in everyday of every month this year :) 

Be more realistic.. 

Here we go :
