A Little Bit of the Past

 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 could I really do rather than run in the yard all day long?

In early childhood we would always go to the seaside during the summer. It was a little bit later when I fell in love with the mountains and now I will always choose them over the beach and the waves. But the Baltic Sea coast will forever be the place where I feel like a little kid again.

My sis and I in a field of daisies. Weren't we adorable back then?

A classic combination of white socks and sandals. I you haven't worn that outfit at least once in your life are you even Polish?

Not just the two of us anymore! Little did we know back then that we were gonna end up as the oldest of FIVE siblings. 

A polish cowgirl in early 2000'.

First day of school. All-denim look. And me as a giant.

Ok, I think it's enough. I realise that reminiscing my childhood is exciting probably only for me, but maybe your childhood was similar to mine and these photos will take you back, too. I think it's important and healthy to remind yourself every once in a while of the child that you once were. Even as adults we need some of that innocence and child-like faith to make our lives better.

Take care and find your inner child, ya'all!

My Place On Earth

Obraz
Today I'm going to tell you a little bit about my family and my roots. Both my Mom's and my Dad's grandparents after the World War II decided to settle in Lower Silesia, the land that was reclaimed by Poland after the war, in exchange of some teritories in the East that were attached to the Soviet Union. Both of my parents were born and raised in the same small village right next to the city of Wrocław, called Długołęka (the name could be translated to English as "long meadow"). What's more, they were both born in the same year so starting from nursery school they went to the same class. They even danced together a traditional Polish dance "krakowiak" during one of the performances in the nursery school. (Pesonally I think that's adorable!). They were each other's high school sweet-hearts and after getting married they decided they wanted to stay in Długołęka. They built a house there in which we all live right now. And by "us all...

The Dark World of Harlan Coben

Obraz
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 ...

My Favourite Scents

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...
