Monday Moodboard 'New Year is coming!'

Hello folks!

Very very soon is New Year and that's the last Monday so again a few words about 2014 year and my wishes for 2015.

I had a lot of plans for 2014 but not all of them came true.

This year I've visited Paris the very first time in my life! In my opinion the city is great - all about love and romantic. Unfortunatelly couldn't visit Louvre coz was busy with something a bit more important ;) Special thanks to a person that took me to Paris :) See you soon in another amazing city ;)

Finally visited my friend Katya. She lives in Halle, Germany - lovely small town. I visited her in April and there was such a nice spring weather that let us not only walk but organize a bbq. I'm not a big fan of Germany but beer and sausages are always great! But you'll never guess what kind of food I brought home )))) - black turkish olives! Just coz it's easier to find turkish shops in Germany than in Moscow :)

Another dream came true this year - I visited Portugal and instead of visiting Lisbon I started to explore this country by visiting Porto! Guys I'm totally in love! In my opinion it's a very friendly city with great food and tasty wine :) I'll come back to Portugal for sure!


This year I travelled less than I planned but it wasn't a loss but a great opportunity to enjoy time in Moscow by having nice meetings with friends, trying new recipes and just enjoying every moment.

This year I also visited a very interesting workshop 'Eco Print' - that's an absolutely amazing technique - you use plants and flowers and every time you'll get an original pattern on a fabric.

This year I added more international recipes to my personal cook book - now I know how to cook arabian pancakes 'Qatayes' and very sweet dessert 'Balah El Sham', tried a lot of recipes from Turkish cuisine and baked Stollen - traditional German Christmas cake.

The best moment of the year - my birthday that I celebrated with mom, cousins and closest friends.

What do I expect from next year?
More trips
More inspiration
And spend more time with people I love...

Happy New Year! Love and peace for all!

A bit philosophical Friday / Философская пятница


Hello folks!


Today I have kinda philosophical mood :) and want to talk about things that all people are care about - relathionships and how to be hapy ))))





Recently I started to read more informations about personal growth. There is no secret that people want to be happy and I want the same thing :)
I know that happiness is something that lies inside you and if you are not in harmony with yourself it's impossible to get harmony from outside, from another person. I have to confess - I am definetely not a big fan of psychology and pretty sceptical about all those psychologists but as I want to know myself better I read and listen some information that don't f.... my brain but talk to me in a language I can understand.

My personal recipe of happiness is

- accept myself with all merits and demerits,

- accept that other people can and will behave and think not in a way I want them to behave and think,

- your everyday happiness depends on a choice you make everyday. Simple example - this summer I spent in Moscow as couldn't travel abroad (it wasn't easy as I love to travel and try to travel as often as I can). So I had a choice - be upset that I stuck in Moscow for the whole summer or find something positive in this situation. I choose the last option - and it was a really great summer for me! I tried new recipes, made some homemade stuff, I celebrated my birthday in Moscow with my mom, cousins and close friends and it was really great! I enjoyed really great weather and even though summer is over and I'm still not sure about my next vacation - I'm not sad about autumn cold weather coz there is always something nice you can find in every day.

- listen to yourself! As if you are really listen to your soul you always can say what's better for you! and it doesn't matter what other people will tell you, doesn't matter what kind of smart advises they'll give you - only if you listen to yourself you'll be able to choose what's the best for you.

Few days ago I watched this video by Brene Brown and it's really caught my attention. In my opnion she's talking about very important thing - vulnerability and how scare we are about to be vulnerable and to show it. I also scare to show my vulnerability, sometimes even to close people..... but I'm trying to change it.....coz it's important to show how you feel especially to close people....
Here is also an itneresting article about this video that was piblished on russian site Snob - Hard to not to be a God. This article on Russian but maybe if you use Google translator you'll be able to read it. In short - it's about how typical for russian people not to show their vulnerability.

If you are ready to share your opinion here are only two questions )))
What is your opinion about this video?
What is your recipe of happiness?

Have a nice Friday!

Всем привет!

Сегодня у меня немного философское настроение и хочу поговорить о вещах, о которых думают все люди - отношениях и как быть счастливым.

Недавно я начала читать больше информации о личностном росте. Ни для кого не секрет, что люди хотят быть счастливыми и я не исключение ))) Я знаю, что счастье всегда находится внутри нас и если ты не в гармонии сам с собой, то невозможно получить эту гармонию снаружи, от другого человека. Я должна признаться, что не являюсь большим поклонником психологии и достаточно скептически отношусь к психологам, но так как я хочу лучше узнать себя, то читаю и слушаю информацию, которая не фачит мой мозг, но объясняет вещи простым и понятным языком.

Мой личный рецепт счастья:

- принимать себя со всеми достоинствами и недостатками,

- принимать, что другие люди могут и будут вести себя и думать совсем не так, как я того ожидаю,

- ваше счастье каждый день зависит от вашего выбора, который вы делаете. Простой пример - это лето я провела в Москве, так как не могла никуда поехать по объективным причинам (это было нелегко так как я люблю путешествовать и стараюсь путешествовать как можно чаще). И у меня был выбор - расстроиться из-за того, что я застряла в Москве на целое лето или найти что-нибудь позитивное в этой ситуации. Я выбрала второй вариант - и это лето было очень хорошим для меня! Я попробовала новые рецепты, сделала различные заготовки на зиму, отпраздновала свой день рождения в Москве вместе с мамой, сестрами и близкими друзьями - и это был очень хороший вечер! Я наслаждалась хорошей летней погодой и не смотря на то, что лето уже кончилось и я не знаю, когда будет мой следующий отпуск - я не грущу по поводу холодной осенней погоды, так как в каждом дне можно найти что-то замечательное.

- слушать себя! Если вы действительно слушаете себя, то всегда сможете понять, что является лучшим для вас! и не важно, что скажут другие люди, не важно какие умные советы они вам дадут! только если вы действительно слушаете себя вы сможете принять самое верное решение!

Недавно я посмотрела очень интересное видео Брене Браун, которое заинтересовало меня. Она говорит об очень важной вещи - уязвимости и о том, как сильно мы боимся показать свою уязвимость другим людям. Я тоже боюсь показать свою уязвимость, иногда даже близким людям....но я стараюсь изменить это....потому что это важно рассказывать как ты чувствуешь, особенно близким людям....
Также не могу не поделиться интересной статьей, которую я прочла на сайте Сноб - Трудно не быть Богом.  Эта статья посвящена видео Брене Браун об уязвимости и насколько уязвимость присуща русским людям.

Если вы готовы поделиться своим мнением, то у меня только два вопроса:
Что вы думаете об этом видео?
Какой ваш личный рецепт счастья?

Хорошей пятницы!
xoxo

Winter&Valenki

Hello folks!

Finally we have winter :) with blue sky, sun and cold weather. This morning it was -25. Yesterday I visited a friend of mine and noticed that she bought nice felted boots from Adidas (we call them 'valenki'). Boots are warm, stylish and she is very pleаsed with them. But as I'm crazy about handmade I found few handmade felted boots. Yes, they will cost probably more but you'll get something unique and made with love.

Thinking about Summer

Hello folks!
It's still winter but my mind is occupied by Summer already! :) And I've started to plan where I'm going to celebrate my birthday this year. It'll be somewhere where is a lot of sunshine, tasty food and an absolutely romantic atmosphere I'm going to share with someone special ;) Not going to call the place right now so stay tuned ;)
And as I am a girl I'm thinking about what to wear )))) Honestly I don't know this summer trends so suggestions are welcome but I choose few lovely dresses from Etsy that are gorgeous and I think fashion is more about your own style and mood.
