Israel: a mix between the expected and the unexpected

I can't believe it has been more than a week since I came back from the Holy Land.I still miss it and want to go back there to see all the places I haven't seen yet.And trust me, 4 days is a ridiculously short amount of time to spend there. Why 4 days ,you ask? Firstly,I'm a student and secondly,I'm a student :) In other words,staying for a shorter amount of time means spending less money(at least it should) and I also went on this trip during the academic year(yes, I skip classes quite a lot-that's what happens when you don't like what you're studying) So,if you ever wanted to travel to Israel but thought "It's too expensive!" or "I'm gonna die in  a terrorist attack!" ,think again because none of it is true if you find a cheap flight and avoid eye contact with strange looking men on the street so you don't get unwanted attention (common sense,right?). I am of course writing this from a young woman's perspective, bu...

Portrait: Cara Delevingne + GoFundMe Campaign

Hola! I'm back with a new portrait after quite a long time. I did this portrait back in summer but I didn't like how some parts turned out so I kept postponing this post. I'm finally posting it now, even though I'm not 100 % happy with it. I've also recently come back from Israel and it was quite the experience.I might write a post about it in the near future.What do you think? I've also started a campaign on gofundme.com to raise money for a big tour of Europe I'm planning for next summer. I would deeply appreciate it if you could share it on social media or help me in any way you can ( my link ) :) As usual, I'm waiting for your portrait suggestions in the comments. Have a super happy evening :D

Jaybird-The ultimate experience

Hello ,lovely people of the world! Today I want to write about  two topics that are close to my heart :music and sport. I don’t know about you, but exercising, jogging and even walking are not the same without a beat to accompany them. Music has always been a passion of mine, whether it was singing or just listening to it. I  wasn’t that big of a sports enthusiast when I was a kid and even during my teenage years  I remember my mother nagging me about going outside and taking walks . That has changed over the past couple of years and I try to be as active as possible, even though I don’t have a specific routine that I follow. This year I thought I’d give jogging a go but  I could not imagine jogging without some headphones on. When I heard of Jaybird , I immediately thought of my experience with sports and headphones.  BlueBuds X –this is the name of the headphones-is a product that would probably be very helpful to anybody out there who likes to li...

Review& Giveaway:GungHo or how to give your brain a boost!

Hello lovely people of the world! Autumn has finally come!(not that I missed it) You know what that means,right? Coming home from the wonderful summer holidays and starting school/work again. In my case,college.And if you're a student yourself,you probably go to sleep after midnight and wake up early in the morning just to find yourself falling asleep in class and wondering what the heck you're doing wrong. So when I got the opportunity to try out GungHo ,a drink that claims to boost your energy and focus, I did a "happy dance " :) I got my trial pack which looks like this and consists of 3 little pouches(I had already tried one): Let me tell you what I think of it and what effects it had on me. As it says on the package, I drank GungHo after having eaten something(namely breakfast) .The taste is bitter, sweet and sour at the same time,which is great with me.It's not your typical artificial soda flavor. I went on with my day(which was my day off actu...

Quick and tasty dinner:Pasta and 2 sauce alternatives!

Hello there! Moi! Aloha! :) I know,it looks as if I've abandoned the blog .I can't believe it's almost 2 months since I last posted something. My excuse for the lack of content is : a) I traveled to Finland in July-August for a little over 2 weeks and b) I've been in a post-vacation sad mood ever since I got back . It was a lovely WWOOF-ing experience in Southern Finland,but this is post is not going to be about that.If you want me to dedicate an article to my volunteering experience(and how you can travel very cheap  in exchange for volunteering),please do let me know ! Today's article is about pasta and 2 delicious sauces that you can prepare in under 15 minutes .I don't know what it is about pasta but I'm sure you've noticed that people of all ages love it,including kids(and you know how hard it is to get kids to eat ). The pasta I use for these sauces is either gnocchi or fusilli.Of course you can also use ditalini,gomiti,penne rigate or any ...

The artsy corner : Poetry

Hi guys! It's Friday once again and you know what that means: let's go dancing and have fun 'cause it's the weekend ☺ No,but really...a little dancing won't hurt. Today I was debating whether to make a Favorite Friday post or go with my artistic impulse.Guess who won..That's right, I want to share two sad  poems with you today. Why sad? Because that's the only way I write poems . Dance A single thought that makes your mind race fast And brings your wandering soul into the past Relive the moments,smiles and laughter And think again, before and after Where were your thoughts before we met? 'Cause all you eyes show is regret Don't waste a single minute more I needn't have shown you the door And as your thoughts go on each day They never stop,come what may No one I know would stand a chance To pull you up and make you dance Shade of grey It was a cold October night I saw your face in different light There  was a sparkle in yo...

Review:Geanta de organizare obiecte izolata termica/Car organizing bag

Hello! Acum cateva saptamani am primit spre testare o geanta de organizare obiecte izolata termica de la Best Auto Vest .Cum nu m-as putea descrie drept o persoana organizata,aceasta geanta imi este de un real ajutor.Am primit coletul 2 zile dupa ce m-am inscris in campanie.Am uitat sa fac poze la colet cand l-am primit,dar pot sa va arat cum era" impachetat" inauntru. A couple of weeks ago I received for review a car organizing bag from a Romanian shop that sells anything car related.As I'm not really an organized person ,this bag really comes in handy.I received the package 2 days after I applied.   Era intr-un ambalaj de plastic care se putea agata in cuier ,deci foarte practic . Geanta era pliata si avea descrierea in mai mutle limbi pe cartonul rosu. Geanta are 3 compartimente mari,dintre care unul este izolat termic(se vede ca are o folie argintie desupra): When I got it,it was in this practical plastic bag that has a little hanger.The bag was folded up an...
