just your average daydreamer

Do you like silence? I thought I did. At least until I've recently realized I never really allow myself to be in a situation when I'm not listening to anything. You think I'm exagerating? Let me give you some examples.  I spend a lot of my time watching movies, videos on YouTube or binging tv series. But even when I'm not in front of my computer I constantly wear my earphones: while washing up the dishes, cleaning, doing the laundry or ironing I usually listen to podcasts or new albums released by my favourite artists. Even when I'm in bed and about to fall asleep I like to put on an audiobook. (I prefer the ones where the voice of the lector is deep and low because then I fall asleep much faster). Also if I go for a walk or for a bike ride, when my goal is to spend some time among nature, I put on my earphones to have "soundtrack" to the landscapes that I pass by. This urge to constantly be listening to something may be caused by FOMO (fe

I'm not completely sure why but I really enjoy watching crime shows. There's just something so compelling about slowly revealing all the secrets and finding out who is the murderer. Of course, not every crime series is great but I've recently seen two terrific ones and I'd like to tell you a little bit about them. Both of them are based on Harlan Coben's novels. I've never read any of them but Coben is a writer and a producer on both shows, so I guess they are pretty faithful to the original books. One is called The Stranger , the other is called Safe . They are actually very similar to each other and a viewer can find many parallels between the two of them, both plot-wise and characters-wise.  Both stories are set in the same background; in a suburban community of very successful and wealthy people. At first sight it seems like their lives are perfect and there is no place for any kind of darkness or horror there. However, not so far into the shows

You know how they say that most people are visual learners and others have more developed sense of hearing? But why do we take into consideration only these two senses and don't talk about the other ones? Some time ago I realised that smells, scents, odours and aromas are a huge part of my reality. They have the power to ease my mind and help me relax. They can trigger memories that I didn't know I still remembered. For example when I start using again a shampoo that I used to wash my hair with some time ago, suddenly my mind is filled with images and memories from that period. Or when my mum makes exactly the same apple pie that she would make when I was a kid and I can smell just a hint od its aroma, I'm immediately taken back to my childhood. So, today let me present you some of my favourite scents. It's such a pity I can't pass them on to you through the screen and only talk about them, but you can always use your imagination or maybe even surround yourself

I like putting my make-up on. I really do. Just the process itself gives me joy. But I have to admit it's been really freeing not to do it for over a month now of staying in quarantine. Don't get me wrong: during "normal" times I also somedays choose to go out without any make-up on because it just feels better for me at the moment. Although there was a time in high school when I would never even go to the nearest shop without having done my make-up before, right now I don't consider myself a make-up addict. But on the other hand, even if we treat make-up only as a nice but unnecessary addition to our ever-day life, it's always some kind of a mask. Now, when I'm at home 24/7 with my parents and siblings I feel no need at all to use make-up products. I think it's probably because they all have know me forever and I don't need to hide anything from them. It got me thinking that maybe I don't put my make-up on exclusively for myself after all

Let's face it: we all have our guilty pleasures. Wether it's listening to Tylor Swift's You Belong with Me or watching some oddly satisfying videos of people picking pimples on YouTube. Today I'm gonna oficially embarass myself in front of you and tell you about my number one guilty pleasure which is Riverdale .  It's a teen drama that I started watching almost four years ago. I have to admit that the first season was really amazing. I was immediately sucked into this world of a small american town. The storyline was credible and coherent, the characters were well introduced and multidimensional. The soundtrack was also really cool. And apart from all that, the Riverdale cast is just beautiful and I enjoy watching pretty people so for me it was pure pleasure. But then something went terribly, terribly wrong. Right from the beginning of season 2 I felt like it wasn't the same show anymore. They started to throw in a bunch of new characters but none of t

 During one of our Eanglish online classes, we've had a discussion about our childhood. We all shared our memories from that period of our lives and some of us even showed some photos of themselves when they were kids. I didn't do that because I have so many favourite childhood photos that I couldn't decide which one to pick and upload to our forum. But I thought it would be a good idea to create a post here with all the photos I'd like to show you and to describe each of them in a few words. Let's get started! The day of mine and my twin sister's sixth birtday. As you can see, we were trying really hard to blow out those candles. And don't you think it's so cool to share your birthday with your sister, because you get to have TWO birthday cakes! Our dad would always make them for us. That's little me. Can you see the resemblance? I've always been an "outdoorsy" kid. Well, without the Internet and Disney Channel what else c
