Sometimes we all feel stressed, tired and overwhelmed. In such phases of our lives we forget to be grateful for the things that we have, start focusing on negative emotions and , therefore, surround ourselves with negative enerergy. When we feel this way it is important to give our body and brain some rest and start doing something that makes us happy. I personaly love doing self-care days (or even weeks) when I dedicate  time to my hobbies and well-being. Self-care days help me to remember to be thankful for what I have and don't take things for granted. On such days it is also important to stay off social media and focus on the moment.  My personal hobby is cooking. When I cook I forget about any problems and I don't even notice how the time passes. So on my self-care days I like to cook. The other thing I like to do is morning runs and simple workouts. I'm not a morning workout type of person, but stretches is the only thing my body is able to do in the morning. Journali...

Most people don't really care about being fashionable in summer.

For instance, loose dresses are very popular this summer. I really like this trend because there is a huge variety of loose dresses of different length, design and shape. Victorian sleeve dresses are my personal favourites. Good thing is that you will feel free and comfortable in loose clothes and it is even better i...

A good start of the morning is the key to a productive and happy day. In this post I'm going to share with you my morning routine and some tips that help me to feel energetic and motivated throughout the day.  1. An hour without a phone I've already talked about this in my previous post. I've been learning to start my day without Instagram, Twitter and other social platforms. It really helps  to keep my mind clear for the first hour after waking up and I just feel more calm and present by doing this. It is a very simple habit but I really encourage you to try it. 2. Stretches After making my bed, brushing my theeth and washing my face I'm trying to convince myself to do a little work out. Unfortunately, I've never been in good relationships with sport and working out is the last thing I want to do in the morning:D But I figured that it is so much easier to do a 5 min morning stretches. I'm just doing torso twists, shoulder stretch, bending forward etc. It really...
