Offbeat Ordinary

When I'm listening to some song, it can bring all kinds of emotions and memories. The memory of the special summer night, road trips with friends, a great concert or it can just brighten up a rainy day. Some would say that my taste in music is not from this generation. I love music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.  There are so many artists that wrote so many great pieces of music. I don't choose specific authors. When I like the song, I can listen to it for days. It becomes my jam and then it goes into the library of music that I browse when I need some bust or tunes for dancing while cooking. It is interesting how every person has their own taste in music. Where does it come from? Why we listen to one kind of music and other is just unhearable for us? In my early age I was exposed to all, our traditional music with accordion, music from my generation and also old time music. For that I’m grateful to my father, with his records and Youtube playlists, whil

… or so they say. My roads also lead to Rome, for my study exchange. Rome is amazing with its culture, architecture, beautiful language, pizza on every corner (and how many sorts of pizza!), ice cream and pasta in all kind of shapes. On the other hand, there is a lot of trash on the streets, where you would not expect it. However, if you are focusing on other parts of this beautiful city, you can get past that. One thing that can be bothering for a girl from a small country is a number of people that are wandering on streets and around big monuments. They can be so unsustainable. When you just want to come to the park without tripping on someone. There are people everywhere. When it is sunny everyone goes outside and enjoys the weather and greenery. Nothing wrong with that Nevertheless, when you actually focus on the beauty that is around, you forget about all the people that are around you. Here are some places that I found beautiful and I could escape

For me fashion is art. It is not just clothes we put on to cover our bodies. It is more than that.  All the designers are artists in their own way. They work with all kinds of fabrics and they manipulate it in ways that are remarkable.  It is a work of true geniuses. Currently, I am living in Rome, so I had the pleasure to attend the exhibition of the Hermès. It is a luxury brand that was founded in 1837. They make famous Birkin bags, watches, gloves, ties, fragrances, shoes, ceramics and scarves.  Hermès brought all kinds of masters of art from France and they revealed us the work behind the scenes.  It was amazing to see the artisans on the spot. I was mostly taken by stamping designs on the silk for the scarfs. How they manage to transfer designs from the computer to the silk. Colors just came alive on these scarves.       On this exhibition, I could see with my own eyes how can be art combined with fashion. Even all of us can be artists

Recently I've found out that I enjoy crafting, like really enjoy.  It can pass two hours and I wouldn’t know, it is just relaxing and satisfying. But I have to say, that I am not good artist. I love wrapping gifts for friends and family by myself. I keep decorations from gifts that I got and are reusable.  Here are some of my wild DIYs.  I didn’t took photos throughout the process but I will try to explain beside photos of finished products, what I did and what I used for making those things new, shiny and wannabe amazing. They are at least amazing for me. (At the end, they are in my bedroom, they have to be amazing to me hahah.) Magic lamp I have this ugly old lamp, with weird base and white shade. I want to have nicer lamp on my nightstand. I took old wine bottle, put in some sand for stability and wrapped it with rope and glue gun.   I also did that to base of a lamp. I turn base of a lamp upside down and attached it to bottle. I covered upper side of bot

I n my lifetime I started so, so many things. I attended dance schools, music school, I played basketball, I wanted to build my own wooden lounge chair (I stopped at a sketch), I started making my own graphics, writing a book, I challenged myself with poetry (some of my poems were actually published), I attended a few group exercises, I drew fashion designs, etc. I could keep going, but is too miserable for me to continue. That’s also what has been going on with my fight with extra weight. I have been dealing with them for as long as I could remember. Being overweight is a number one topic in our family. I tried to lose weight lots of times. With all sorts of methods, but I never succeeded.    I have to say that my family completely supports me. My brothers actually tried to make me go for a walk or jogging, but I was such a rebel. When I was not in the mood for being active, I just couldn’t make myself move my lazy ass away from telenovelas. So after a few mistrials my
