My Birthday Wishlist 2012

Exactly one month from today (November 1st) will be my 23rd anniversary so I think it's about time I post a list of things I wish for, so that I don't lose track of everything I like. So here we go:

1. The "Study" series by Maria V. Snyder
Poison Study; Magic Study; Fire Study
I actually read the first book and it was AMAZING and I can't wait to read the other 2 books as well. :)

Since I love her writing I would also love to read the "Glass" series

2. Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette
This palette is SO SO pretty! It has exactly the colors I would use, because I don't use bright colors anymore. It's just perfect! I'm in love with these pastel eyeshadows! :)

3. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in: Tutti Frutti, Peach Parfait, Lollipop, Berry Smoothie, Sweet Tart.

Gosh these lipsticks are awesome. :) They are so creamy and the colors are really pretty.

4. Silver Necklace

It's been a while since I've been looking for a cute thin silver necklace since I lost my old one. The only problem is that I don't want a neck-line-length one because that would be too short. I have quite a lot of pendants I can't wait to wear with it. :)

5. Michael Kors watch

These are amazing but I'm using them just as an example, because I just want a big and beautiful wrist watch, no matter the brand.

6. Collar Necklace

7. Cambridge Satchel

8. A phone (iPhone or just a good smart phone) since my phone is barely working and will soon die.

Challenges

Talking about challenges...I think that all of us should do things that we believe are challenging. Why should we always stay in our comfort zone and live in a warm and fuzzy world. I think that's plain boring. I'm not saying you should push yourself too far because some things you wish too accomplish might be too much for you at times. You can start with small challenges and then as you grow up and you accomplish them one by one, you can 'upgrade' yourself and go even further. I learned on my own that wishing for something is not going to help me in any way. Just wishing is not enough, you have to go for it. Give it a try and it might work. It might not go well from the beginning but it doesn't mean you can't accomplish that thing. That's the challenging part. That's when you see how ambitious you are, that's when you see if you accept your failure or you want to be a winner. Challenges make you stronger, they raise your self-esteem and they make you happier.

In my situation I can tell you that I started with the idea that I don't ever want to be tutored outside the classes, unlike the other kids. So while their parents were spending a lot of money for those tutoring classes, I was studying by myself. That's how I got into the high school I wanted to. Then it's just another episode of history repeating because when I finished highs cool I refused to get tutored (I wanted to invest the money for tutoring in something else) so I've been studying by myself for the final exams. Again, I got into the University I wanted to. But the thing is that I never chose to go to an 'easy' school. I always wanted a challenge so I chose schools where I knew that teachers are good and expectations are high. Only if I know that I have to work hard to achieve something I feel accomplished. Things that are too easy to get don't catch my interest. In most of the situations I don't take the easy way out.

So why not challenge yourself a little? Learn how to swim, climb a mountain, travel to certain places, read more books, learn how to use Photoshop, learn how to mix music, take part in contests, become a member of an organization etc. If you have a hobby (sing, dance, perform all kinds of stuff, do sports etc), then maybe you should give it a try. You might be so good at it, even if you've never thought about it. Or you could do something out of the ordinary like bungee-jumping, flying, rafting or any other crazy thing. Feel the adrenaline rush. It might be the best thing you've ever done.

Summer Outfit: Denim Shirt

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

A few days ago I went on an evening walk with my sister, in a nearby district full of beautiful houses (since I obviously got tired of living in an apartment :)) ). I love walking through that area!! That place is so peaceful and since it is situated at the end of the town and near the forest, the air feels so fresh. So we decided to take

the camera with us and shoot a few pictures of my outfit and see if they turn out ok for my new category called "Summer Outfit".

I was wearing: denim shirt from Bernardi
white tank top from H&M
skinny jeans from Inside
key-chain necklace from H&M
dark-blue leather bag from Effect
silver metallic flats
Mention: You will definitely see this denim shirt in other outfit combinations, as I simply LOVE it!! :)

Our evening walk ended at Kaufland Hypermarket where we decide to go spontaneously and buy snacks and sweets which we enjoyed during a movie when we got back home. :)

Have a lovely day/good night sweethearts! Kisses!

May Wishlist and Personal Update

Hi guys, how are you? I wasn't doing so well lately since I got sick and I had to stay home and yeah...I couldn't go to work or go out and see my friends for quite a while. Basically I stood in bed, being really bored, sometimes reading and sometimes watching TV series: One Tree Hill (season 9), The Secret Circle, Skins (US) and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I can't wait to get back to work and my other activities. The good part is that I didn't miss much since all this period that I had to stay home, the weather was really bad, it was cold, rainy and windy. Right now I'm feeling much better, in fact, I'm feeling pretty great.
So since I had a lot of time in my hands I couldn't help but discover a lot of pretty stuff while surfing the internet, such as bags, clothes, make-up, accessories and so on, and that's why I decided to make a wishlist (so maybe I don't lose track of what I want). ;) So here we go:

Ultra Matte Sleek Palette - Brights
