Do I need to plan some more?

Published on 2012-04-25 14:56:00

It's been a little over two months since I moved in with R. (Formerly known as The Lawyer Guy) I never considered moving in with someone when being just a 20 y.o. This again proves that life has a way of working things out itself, and things you plan not always go to reality. What I had planed for me in the past? I, like every other girl had fantasies of what my The One will be like. But I never had a clear image. Mainly, when I was a little girl, somehow I thought that the MOST important thi [..] > read more

It's hard to blog about beauty-related stuff when you are on a tight budget. When I was living with my parents, I worked part-time, I did make-up, I had some income sources, and I could spend all my money on make up and clothes. Well, now, roughly a year later, I pay my own rent, buy my own food and try to make ends meet. I love beauty world. I thrive, when I get to review new product or smell the magical whiff of a new piece of clothing in my closet, but it's been a while, since I could go to t [..] > read more

(I am going further and further from beeing a ''Beauty Blog'' aren't I...?) In the past couple of months SO MANY of my friend couples have broken up it's not even funny. People who I have known since middle-school and that been dating since, people whose relationships looked like inspiring piece of art, people who I looked up to and people who have been through so much together and still went side by side. And now I keep finding myself constantly consoling my friends with ''There are lots of o [..] > read more

Like Frankie said... I did it My Way.

If I was to make only one resolution this year it would be BE FEARLESS. Live boldly. You CAN control this moment. Rather than cautiosly testing the waters, dive straight into life with freeing abandon. Imagine the person you wanna be and the life you want to live then simply commit to them. Believe in yourself. And whatever you do, wherever you go - don't be affraid to make a splash! I recently had a great converstation with a smart friend. He made a remark towards me, that I live in this m [..] > read more

''If you aren't sure how you feel about someone anymore, you should break up. It was simple. Except it didn't feel simple. The thought of breaking up made her feel winded, as if she'd been knocked down'' -Hailley Abbot ''Next Summer'' I wanted to scream, I wanted to yell, shout, cry, beg him not to leave... Of course I didn't. I just got out of his car as soon as I felt I could walk away to my stairwell, shut the door without saying a word and walked away. I never ever had so much emotions [..] > read more
