MY ENDLESS LIST OF GRATITUDE #24

This was a very unexpectedly long week. Even though I have finally passed all of my exams this semester and I'm free to enjoy my holidays, time didn't rush at all. I'm a little exhausted, to be honest, so I spent these past days just laying in my bed, catching up on Gilmore Girls, Pretty Little Liars, Harry Potter, doing some yoga, writing some blog posts while calmly sitting in a cozy coffee shops, celebrating my Dad's birthday and being a little less productive than on the previous weeks. But it feel GOOD to be able to relax a little after these crazy weeks of studying and I've missed these times when the most important choice I had to make that day is what episode to watch next, or maybe watch a movie or read a book? Decisions, you know?
Anyway, this Sunday I have a little trip planned, so it's very exciting and my days are going to be filled with a little bit more action after these long and relaxed days. Also, the winter has definitely came back over here, so I'm really looking forward to escaping this coldness for a little bit.

How was your week? A relaxing one or a busy one?

♥ I've made a little Tiramisu cake for my Dad which turned out really well and we had a really nice evening while eating it with a glass of wine. 

♥ I think Luna should be a cat model, she is getting prettier day after day!

♥ I recently finally updated to a new phone, it feels so good to be able to use a phone which finally works, my old one has finally gave up after many months of not properly working. 

♥ I'm halfway through the sixth Harry Potter book and I'm already getting sad I'm nearly done with the rereading of the series. I still have three movies to watch again, so it's a little better. 

MY LIFE THROUGH INSTAGRAM / BLOGMAS ❅ DAY 16

Hello! I'm having quite a stressful beginning of the week, because it's the last week in Uni before Christmas break, so it's full of essays, exams and presentations, so today is an easy post from me. This is my little Instagram diary from this past month and I enjoy Instagram so so much, you can follow me here if you'd like to!

1// Me and my gorgeous cat were having a little cuddle session and my Mom snapped a very cute picture!

2// A throwback from the Christmas of 2012 when it was truly a white winter wonderland and right now it's raining outside (we are really not used to rain here in the middle of December) and I'm dreaming of white Christmas

3// My new favorite mug + my Christmas nails. Tutorial coming up tomorrow!

4// Perfect chocolate candies for cozy Saturday.

1// I clearly enjoy taking pictures of Luna a lot. But she is the cutest, I can't stop myself!

2// A perfect chocolate for Christmas time.

3// In the beginning of the December this is what I woke up to one day. This is how Christmas is supposed to look and although at the moment the weather is completely different, I'm hoping that snow will soon start to fall.

4// Another throwback (I love a good throwback Thursday) to my birthday trip to Rome with the best cup of cappuccino in the world.

MY ENDLESS LIST OF GRATITUDE #21

Happy Monday everyone! Here's another round of the things which made me very grateful.

♥ This Saturday I got a new haircut and it's been a while since I've been to a hair salon and now I have my hair way shorter than I've ever had in my life, but it feels so good to have them this short, I love it!

♥ My beautiful Luna which is even more beautiful than ever before (I keep on saying this every time I mention her). Nowadays when I oversleep (which happens quite a lot), she is always there to wake me up and I love it!

♥ I did a little reorganizing of my shelves and I am very happy how it turned out.

♥ This picture might be a little confusing but this actually is a skirt. With galaxies printed on it? Oh yes! I've been searching for this kind of beauty for a while because I love galaxies A LOT and I'm very glad I finally found one.

♥ I realize I haven't mentioned a very exciting thing - I got a new bed and now I can sleep like a queen in a big white bed. I've added these fairy lights to make my room even cozier.

MY ENDLESS LIST OF GRATITUDE #19

♥  In my 21 years I still have never been to a real Halloween party but I still dream of going to one someday. But for now, I made my room look a little bit spookier and I really like it and it will be an amazing atmosphere for watching Halloween movies!

♥ So this is the reason why I am late to my classes mos of the time. My precious cat is so adorable lately and has been so energetic, that I just spend so much time watching her do things or just sleep. Today she found my Canon lens lid so entertaining and it was so interesting to watch her play with it.

 ♥ This is another accent I've added to my room to make it slightly more ready for Halloween. I'm always so sad that we don't have the real tradition to celebrate Halloween where I live, so at least I make my room get into the spirit a little bit more.

♥ This means the only thing - winter is coming. All of my sweaters are organized and ready to make me feel a little cozier and warmer during these colder months.

♥ I am a huge lover of postcards and receiving one from the country far away (Denmark) is such an amazing feeling. My friend is living there now and this has been the cutest birthday present this year!

IT'S LUNA'S BIRTHDAY!

Yesterday my precious was celebrating her first birthday. I've become such a cat lady that this day actually seems important to me. Quite a few  family members and friends are also celebrating their birthdays on this day, so when we found out that this kitty was born on July 16th, we took it as a sign that she was destined to be our cat. When we got her, she was only 3 months old and she was tiny and now she has grown into a big and wonderful cat who is now staring at me while I'm typing this. Every day I look at her and I can't believe how much I love her. The strangest thing is that I've never been a cat person, I was pretty afraid of them and only looked at them from afar but now I can't imagine how we have lived before she came into our lives. Seeing her around is the biggest joy, really. It's amazing to get back home when she is waiting at the door for you. However, she is still a cat and a very independent one and is she is not feeling like sitting on your lap, she will express it very loudly and you can only agree with her. I am so happy I fought so hard to convince my family to get this cat breed because I knew she was perfect for us and she actually is.

5 MONTHS OF HAVING A CAT

 5 moths ago on this very day we brought our Luna home for the first time. I remember how stressed out we all were, how tiny and cute she was and how scared she looked while sitting in a bag when we were driving home. I looked at her and couldn't imagine how she would change our lives. 

5 months doesn't seem like a very long time but it honestly feels like we own her forever. I don't even remember our home without this amazing creature walking around and I don't remember how it used to feel being completely alone. Now it never happens and I always have company around (even if she's sleeping almost all the time). Our family bonded so much more over this time while we have her, we always have a certain thing to talk about and there's so much more laughter because she surprises us every single day. She is so adorable, I can't believe how perfect she is. Sometimes I really wish I was a cat, just looking so perfect and being able to sleep all the time. Is that really weird? 

She is very much loved here and I think this was the best decision we have taken in probably ever and I am so happy I convinced my parents to get a British Shorhair because she is amazing, she is honestly the best cat for us. Probably every animal owner feels this way about their animals, it's probably the same like your child is the best one of all, my cat is really the best one of all. 
It's so strange and funny that we all have never been big animal lovers and we don't have a very long history with animals and now we just melt around her, we talk to her like she is a real person and we just run around chasing her (our neighbours probably hate us). 

 Now when I am such a cat lady I would advice everyone to get a cat of their own because it brings much more happiness than you could imagine!

 This is the first picture I took of her while driving back home. She was SO tiny and she looks so scared but she adapted to our home quite quickly. 

MY ENDLESS LIST OF GRATITUDE #7

♥ I feel like my adorable kitty didn't make an appearance here on the blog for a while and since I am a true cat lady now, it's only appropriate to show her adorableness once again!

♥ Lately I have been baking a lot more and I remember now how much I have missed it. It's such a therapeutic process to me. I just love how this cake turned out!

♥ I really like this picture from my trip to London. Here's me and my best friend with other friends on a very nice night in the middle of the London. Excuses for the awful quality but phone and middle of the night is not the best combination.

♥ Skies have been much more clear for a while now and there's no snow around, which makes me so happy. I hate winter and every sign of upcoming spring is making me happy. This is what I get to see from my window when sun decides to show up.

♥ August : Osage County. I loved this movie. There was a time in my life when I used to dislike Meryl Streep because she reminded me of my doctor which I didn't like (I know this is a stupid reason) but then something shifted after I saw Mamma Mia and now she's one of my favorite actresses of all time and she is spectacular in this movie as always.

MY ENDLESS LIST OF GRATITUDE #6

 Well, quite uneventful week here on the blog I can say. Exams are not the best time, I'm sure everyone would agree. However, I have some things I'm grateful for, so it's always nice! :)

♥ My Luna. She spent most of the Christmas sleeping like in this picture and that's how she spends most of the time. I love this cat so so much. Now I have to spend a lot more time studying at home but that is not so bad when I get to spend so much time with this cutie. 

♥ This week I passed two more exams and there's only 2 more left! 

♥ F.R.I.E.N.D.S That's probably quite a weird thing to be grateful for but I love this show so much.  Whenever I'm having a bad day, or I'm stressed out or I just want 20 minutes of laughter, I always know where to turn to. 

♥ I got to spend quite a lot of time this week with my wonderful friend and that is so awesome because I miss that girl so much all the time.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

I wish each and everyone of You a very happy and merry Christmas! I hope all of you are with people You love and cherish, enjoying meals together and spending lots of great time chilling and without worries. My Christmas will be very different and a lot sadder without one very loved family member this year  but I will try to have a nice time and try to finally chill a lot. 
Have an amazing time! My kitty is sending the best wishes too! :)

PRETTY LIGHTS ON THE TREE I'M WATCHING THEM SHINE

 We FINALLY have our Christmas tree! We always have our tree quite early on before Christmas however this year I was a little scared that Christmas is going come before we'll have a Christmas tree. But two days ago my Dad fiiiinally brought this gorgeous tree home and then I started my work. 
Every year I'm the most excited about the tree so it's kinda my job to decorate it. And I love it so I don't complain about that of course. I play some Christmas music (this year I listened to Michael Bublé while I decorated) and I start. This year I also had a new addition to my work process - I had to try to stop my kitty from trying to climb it. But now it's all good and pretty and I'm actually really proud of myself because this year our Christmas tree looks really beautiful and I love it! It's now officially Christmas in our home! 
Home instantly feels a hundred times cozier and that fresh tree's smell is just amazing. I just love this whole process of decorating home for the Christmas time. I probably look a little obsessed about Christmas but I just love this time of the year, it's definitely my favorite one and I just like to enjoy it to the fullest!

 That's what happened when my Dad brought the tree. Our gorgeous Luna is protecting the tree.

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU..

A month ago we brought this wonderful kitty to our home. We had a pretty hard time deciding what kind of kitten we want and there were couple of arguments involved but one day I've received an email about this kitty so we all instantly thought that this cat chose us itself. I never thought how much my family needed a kitten. Many years have already passed from the last time we owned a animal so it was about time to have a new addition to our family. 
 I was never a true cat lover, mostly I kept my distance from these furry animals as I was really scared of being scratched or bitten. I was more of a dog person I'd say but I really never was a true animal lover. Yes, animals are amazing and I love watching them from afar but I tried not to touch them that much. The only cat I wasn't really afraid is probably this big, furry and very adorable white cat my friend has. That cat I really like. 
But everything really changed from the moment we brought this amazing furry friend into our home. I can't believe how things can change in one month - now I could watch her sleep for hours because she is that cute. I miss her when I'm in other room or when I'm out and I want to cuddle her all the time. Sometimes I look at her and I can't believe how perfect she is with her cute paws, little nose and these long whiskers. And she is so soft and warm and she also smells really nice - I know that sounds weird - but she smells so sweet I sometimes like to smell her furry coat. She was so tiny when we first got her and it's so nice and really fun to see her growing.
I became this crazy cat lady who talks in weird voices with her cat and I like showing pictures of her to people around me because I think my cat is that beautiful. I just love her that much. Everyone in my family adores her and I didn't expect this little bundle of joy to bring that many happiness to our home.
It's weird to think that only one month passed from the day we got her but I simply can't imagine how we lived without her for that many years. Honestly, it feels like we own her forever. 
She is the cutest thing ever. So prepare for seeing many pictures of this beauty here.
