Ice skating!

As my mum has hard time and she feels very down I decided to take her on ice skating. I was worried that she will not want to try it but I was wrong! She was happy and seems that she enjoyed it. She took her mind off and that make me at least a bit better. We both do not know how to ice skate but I wish we can improve it soon. The season for ice skating didn't finish yet, it is quite cheap in my home town it is only 14 zł and for students 6zł with skates! It is even less than going to the cinema or bowling! After knowing how to ice skate we plan to go for yoga and skii.

It is time to be sick!

Santa it is not the only one who is getting a lot of attention during this period. Winter it is a time for cold and flu. Anyone can get it but some of us are at higher risk. Some are more resistant than the others or simply takes care of themselves better. This year I have decided to make myself immune to flu and cold drinking Actimel every morning. Till now I have to confess that it works. I still wasn't very sick and I hope I will not.  

Hard work!

All of you who know me realised that I am quite lazy human being and I hate working hard. I am that kind of person that always does the minimum needed and I have never rushed to be the best at school or to have the best marks, I truly believe that marks are just numbers and only me is concious of what I know and what I do not know. Of course there is also talent which is inborn quality that help us achieve goals however talent does not guarantee success. My only problem is that I don't want to achieve much. I do not want to work from 8 to 15 I do not want to be the business woman or the owner of 5 star hotel. The only thing that I want is to be free, to work as less as possible and to be happy so that I will never be depressed.

Dry shampoo

A year ago I have discovered a perfect thing for my hair. It is a dry shampoo that reduces hair greasiness without water. The shampoo seems to be a bit pricey around 14 zł for a small bottle and contains butane and propane which is not good for my hair condition. That is why I tried to make dry shampoo by myself. I mixed cornstarch with few drops of lavender oil and applied it on my hair with an old make up brush. The effect was totally the same like with commercial dry shampoo. I save my money and also save my hair from explosive chemicals.

Tempeh

Many people during their trips find important to try local cuisine believing that getting to know their meals they are getting closer to the culture of the country. I do not really think so but while travelling through Indonesia I had a chance to try tempeh. It is their traditional soy product made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process which is formed in cake form. Tempeh is healthier than tofu but not that popular in Europe. I miss the taste of tempeh it was my favourite thing in Bali. While travelling I am not into trying new dishes. I am not a big fan of extraordinary food but tempeh surprised me and I hope that soon I will have chance to eat it again

''Lion long way home''

Lately I have seen cool movie ''Lion long way home'' based on the book of Saroo Brierley. Some films really moves me and it was definitely one of them. The plot was about five-years-old Indian boy named Saroo who was lost on the train station. After twenty-five years in Australia the boy worked out how to find the way back home. The movie is based on a real life story. I do not want to spoil the movie only to recommend it. The film became my one of the best ones I have latelly seen.  

January Sales!

It is official! Jaunuary is known as the most depressing month of the year. People are feeling exhausted and drained after Christmas. However, January is a window of opportunity to spice up your fasion sense in the cheapest way. Almost every shop is proposing us big sales. The pices are tempting us but watch out because that might be a trap. Sincerelly, I like observing people queueing outside their favourite shop from day one of the sale.  

New Year's Resolutions

January it is a perfect time to reflect and reslove to change live. The tradition of New years resolutions seems to be very popular in every corner of the world but sometimes it might dissapointing if only after a few weeks you realise that it is harder to stick to your promises than you thought. That is why I never make any new years resolutions. I know that I can not accomplish my dreams overnight but being strict and persistent I can make some progress. I do not need any promises because where there is a will there is a way.

Smoothie Time!

Lately, I have been thinking of trying to eat more veggies and fruits. I invested in a personal smoothie maker and decided to drink once a day a dosage of vitamins from smoothies. When things are very busy making coctails becomes quite annoying especially when grabbing from the box is so convenient. Although I have to confess that after a month of drinking a big amount of smoothies I feel healthier, lighter and my skin is much brighter. The smoothie blender are cheap and useful. I really recommend it if you are tired of simple veggies or fruts.

New Years Eve

Christmas is gone, New Year's Eve is looming, and Valentines day will be here before we know it.

Talking about New Year's Eve it is the one night in the year when the whole world comes to celebrate. Some of them spend weeks preparing themselves to this celebration, while others prefer to retire at home and watch ''New Years Eve with TVN'' with a blanket and a hot drink.

I defenitely am the one that most of the New Year's Eves spend at home under the blanket. I sincerelly do not like this period of the year. It seems to me very plastic and sometimes might be dangerous. That is why this year I will celebrate this holiday with my 80 yrs old auntie and my cat.

Christmas gift!

As every christmas I do not expect big and expensive gifts from my relatives. I try to be happy from everything I get. But this year my sister gave me surprising and pretty present (do not take me wrong I do not want to boast I only want to share with you) I got scratch world map. Th map is invented to help document travel. The map gives me the sense of '' winning'' and it is totally fun to have it on my wall. I m really happy of having it and I wanted to thank to my sister for it.
