Casaviva

Dragi moji,

ovih dana mi je raspored toliko haotičan da sam srećna kada odspavam onih minimalnih 8 sati... Ipak, toliko novih i uzbudljivih stvari mi se dešava u poslednje vreme da će me jedino bolest strpati u krevet :)

Dok ne pronađem više vremena za neki ozbiljniji post ili makar outfit, rešila sam da vam preporučim nešto za čitanje. Onako, dok čekate red kod zubara, putujete na posao ili možda uživate kod frizera. Možda dok ste udobno ušuškani u omiljeno ćebe? Nije bitno, samo malo vremena vam je potrebno za časopis koji me je oduševio- Casaviva, martovski broj. Moram reći, najbolje potrošenih 99 dinara! Kao neko ko ceni umetnost svake vrste, bila sam prijatno iznenađena kada sam po navici počela da listam magazin i shvatila da se on zapravo čita, a ne prelistava. Ako vas zanimaju vesti o izložbama u Parizu i Madridu ili su vam ti gradovi ipak daleko i bliže vam je da posetite izložbu pejzaža Petra Dobrovića (a već od sutra počinje još jedna veoma zamiljiva o kojoj ću pisati ovih dana) ili da se upoznate sa zdanjem naše najznačajnije naučno-kulturne institucije, ako ste želeli da tokom vikenda pobegnete od gradske vreve i skoknete do divnog Sombora i upoznate njegovu arhitekturu ili ste gradski tip koji traži nova mesta za izlazak sa prijateljima...ili vam baš nije dan za izlaske i rešili ste da pročitate neku novu knjigu - sve to možete pronaći na stranicama ovog magazina. Kao i to ko je Milica Ilic Mrvic i ko stoji iza najpoznatijih fabrika tekstila u Italiji, Nemačkoj, Francuskoj i Britaniji. Da ne otkrivam baš sve, nadam se da sam vam malo zagolicala maštu...

Veliki pozdrav!

Circles of life

 Mnogo je vremena prošlo od poslednjeg odlaska u bioskop koji je imao neku svrhu. Sve se svelo na puku zabavu i razbibrigu koja traje sat, dva. Pitajte me nekoliko meseci kasnije šta sam gledala i o čemu se radilo... Ne bih znala. Nije to uvek loša stvar, ali znate li onaj osećaj kada poželite da se u bioskopu prikaže film koji će naterati vaše vijuge da rade? Eto, ne pamtim kada sam poslednji put u bioskopu odgledala baš dobar film.

Sve je to važilo. Do sinoć. Između izbora za pesmu Evrovizije i odlaska u bioskop odlučila sam se za ovo drugo. Izbor je pao na film Krugovi. Kakav izbor!

Priča inspirisana istinitim događajem nas vraća u vreme ratne 1993. i grad Trebinje. Podseća na čin jednog mladića vrednog divljenja koji je stradao jer je štitio svog komšiju. I tu se istinita priča rađena na činjenicama završava i počinje jedna nova... Ona u kojoj nacionalne i verske razlike nestaju, u kojoj se ljudi dele samo prema karakteru, a potom i takve podele polako gube svoj smisao.

Ljudske sudbine koje se na neverovatan način prepliću i situacije koje nas uče da cenimo život jer nam je dat samo jedan. Unutrašnja borba, želja za osvetom, suočavanje sa bolom zbog gubitka voljene osobe, želja majke da zaštiti dete, požrtvovanost, istrajnost, osećaj krivice i nemoći... To je sve ono što nam život donese u nekim trenucima, ali kada vam neko servira ceo život pomoću fantastičnih kadrova, briljantnih dijaloga i sjajne glume za nešto manje od dva sata i natera vas da se zamislite - to je dobar film.

Welcome Spring - How to make a 'To Buy List'

It's almost spring, my favorite season when you get to wear almost everything. No more chunky clothes, no more ugly boots. Goodbye!
Hello to bright sneakers, ballet flats, sandals, flirty skirts and light jackets! :)
Of course, this is the time when I usually start preparing myself for some closet organization - old stuff out, new stuff in. Let's see how you can do it most efficiently and on your budget.

1. MAKE A WISH LIST
First of all, I make a list of things that I'd like to wear this season using websites like Zara, Forever 21, Bershka etc. You can do that too with your favorite brands that you can afford.

2. CALCULATE
After that calculate how much all of those things will cost you. Then compare with the amount you are willing to spend. Mismatch? I can bet! But then it's time for our next step:

3. RATIONALIZATION
It's time to spend some time in your closet. But only to do the hardest thing - to realize how many clothes you actually have. Yes, you do have five skirts you wore only few times and no, you don't need six more! Yes, runways were full of so many cool new things and no, you don't have to be a fashion slave! Let's be real. Think of the things you really need in your closet and make sure you already have something that goes with it. I know, that shirt looks great, but if buying it means that you'll spend extra cash for a skirt that goes with it - just forget it.

4.PRIORITIZATION
This means - make another list. Now that you know what you want and what you really need and how much you can spend, make a final list and if necessary, print it. That is how you will restrain yourself from buying stuff you don't need.

5. GO SHOPPING!
Make sure you get the most of your list and be ready for compromises - some thing won't fit you properly but it's not the end of the world. Just find something similar.
P.S. If you get some extra money, you can buy that gorgeous piece that you'll wear only once ;)

Now I will show you my 1st step- wish list...

DIY: Pedicure @ home step by step

Dear ladies,
I am sure you know how expensive beauty can be. Cut your hair and get a fresh color for this spring, have some massage, get your nails done etc. So I suggest that you save some money and do what you can at home. Pedicure for example. It's not difficult at all! So, let's see what do we need for this beauty diy:

1. nail remover (if you have old nail polish)

2. cotton pads
I believe you don't need an explanation for this :) but use it to remove old nail polish.

3. nail clippers
Trim your nails.

              I am using this set because it has almost everything I need and it' s perfect for travel.

4. nail files
Use it to shape your nails.

 

5. warm water and towel
6. essential oil / bath salt *
7. foot scrub
8. foot file / pumice stone
Be gentle with this one, you don't want to hurt yourself! Slowly remove dead skin.

9. cuticle pusher
(the same set i showed on 4. nail clippers)
This is a must! I know it can be painful if you never did it, but it is obligatory if you want your nails looking good.

10. moisturising cream
Use a generous amount so that you have really soft heels. But be careful- avoid nails area because your nail polish won't last long if it's greasy.

11. finger divider*
Instead of this you can use a few pens.

12. nail polish of your choice
I used pink one, decorated with white dots and then used mat top coat.

*13. quick dry nail spray
If you are always in a hurry like I am, then try this trick!

* =  optional

It's dinner time!

This Friday I went with my boy to a restaurant in Belgrade known as "Ђорђе" and had an incredible experience. Music was live and great, food was delicious beyond words and service was perfect. No complaints! Can't wait for spring to come so that I can eat in their beautiful garden :)
