I believe that everyone has "their" city. Even if they've  never actually lived in one but were born and raised in the countryside, they always have a city where they go to cinema at the weekends or where they go to get a new passport at the administrative office. It's usually the nearest city to where they live. For me that city is for sure Wrocław. And although I'm a country girl all the way, I truly love this town. I went to school there for many years, my grandma lives there, I met tons of great people in this city. Today I'd like to tell you about some of my favourite places in Wrocław. Without further ado, let's get started! Cherubinowy Wędrowiec café. Isn't that name amazing? It sounds so unique and romantic! It's my number one go-to place when I want to meet up with my girlfriends for a cup of coffee and a nice chat. They also have delicious cakes there! I'm always struggling to pick just one that I'd like to eat. The ca

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
