GREAT THINGS ON THE WEB

+ Ever wondered what people who love themselves do differently? Here's an answer for you. It's a great article and I definitely should do these things more often and you should too!

+ For all the Disney fans out there - see how Disney princesses would look if they had realistic hair. It's so cool, I loved it!

+ Sometimes I can't believe that World is truly this beautiful. Somehow I think after seeing these pictures from Portland, Jamaica, you will start to wonder as well.

+ After seeing these gorgeous pictures you might start to feel serious winter blues and want to hop on the plane as soon as possible (I know I did!). This post about coping with winter blues might be very helpful.

+ My inner geek loved this post with illustrations with puns on them. No wonder I'm studying Languages!

+ Comparison is a very wrong game to play (but we all play it anyway), instead you could try to find things which you and only you are capable of giving to the World.

+ And since it's Valentine's day tomorrow, this quiz about finding out which guy from Friends is your soulmate, seemed very appropriate. The best part is that I got Chandler, I am very okay with it!

I want to wish each and everyone a very happy Valentine's day while doing something you really enjoy and if you're dreading tomorrow because you're single or getting over your break up you totally shouldn't dread this day, choose to enjoy it instead!

And tell me, if you could go anywhere in the World today, what would You choose?

3 EASY VALENTINE'S DAY TREATS

food treat for valentine's day

 Valentine's day is just around the corner and whether you like to celebrate it or not, it's nice to treat yourself on this pink day and make something fun and tasty to eat, because we all do love food, don't we? And it's even better when it's pretty to look at (especially for those who love Instagram!).
These three recipes are really easy and I'm pretty sure you would enjoy sharing them with someone you love or just with yourself because this is also very very nice!

pink waffles with berries

valentine's day pancakes with cream

Pink pancakes / waffles with whipped cream and berries

I loved making and eating these! You can literally use every possible combination for the pancakes mix, the only thing I've added was red food coloring, this made my pancakes or waffles or whatever you want to call them pink. I'm pretty sure that if you make them in a frying pan, they would look even pinker because my waffles became a little bit brown instead of fully pink.
 Of course, after making them I just had to add whipped cream, raspberries (you can use any berries you like) and little hearts on them. It takes a little bit of time to prepare all this but it's so much more special to eat the breakfast like this and you deserve to feel special!

I've blended spinach, frozen raspberries, frozen blueberries, orange and a little bit of water and it turned out really good. It's definitely not the sweetest smoothie you can make but it's really good and refreshing. I really really liked it. Also, if you have the chance to get fresh berries, I'm sure it would taste even better!

easy red velvet cake

This is definitely one of my favorite desserts ever. This one is a little bit harder to make but oh boy, it tastes heavenly, so if you have a bit of free time on your hands and if you love to bake, try this recipe, it's amazing! I've done a full post about this beauty last Spring and now as I'm looking at this picture I just imagine how amazing it would be to have a piece of this cake with a cup of coffee... I think I'm going to make this one really soon!

THE MONTH OF LOVE

february month of love valentine's day

Heelloo February! Even though January was not a bad month to me, I am really glad it is over. I was never a fan of Januaries, a month with the Blue Monday of the year can hardly be a favorite month, I guess. And you know, Februaries are not only one step closer to the Spring, they also have one beautiful day in it - Valentine's day. For all the single people out there (*I'm raising my hand here*) this day might not sound that appealing, but you know, it doesn't have to be a day which you spend crying about your single life. Single doesn't mean sad (at least it shouldn't) and Valentine's day can be just any other day of the year, but it can also be dedicated to loving yourself and making yourself happy. If you don't want to spend this day crying and moping around, I've got you covered.
For those coupled ones out there this can be another good day to show your special one just how much they mean to you. This day has become all about buying gifts, chocolates, flowers and everything pink and heart shaped, but it doesn't have to be about this, this is a day dedicated to love and it actually is a nice idea. It's just a nice reminder in a year to show a little bit more attention than you usually do.
I think the entire month of February should be dedicated to spreading love around you, to making your loved ones happy and making yourself happy. It's just like one more December when you;re trying to make people around you happier. I am definitely going to try to make this month all about love and I'm going to make this month on the blog all about love.
It's your choice, you can hate this all mushiness and pink hearts floating all around the city or you can try to spread love just a little bit more this month and love yourself and those around you a little bit harder.

HOW TO SURVIVE VALENTINE'S DAY WHEN YOU'RE SINGLE

Valentine's day is only a week away, as always it comes a little unexpectedly. Some people love it, some people hate it but most of the time if you are single, you dread this day of love. It's actually just another normal day in a year and I'm really not against it, to me it's just another little celebration and I think it's nice to have as many celebrations as it's possible. This day can be just another chance to celebrate love for yourself and just to spread love around you. There's nothing wrong with being single and there is no reason to be sad on Valentine's day if you are single. In my opinion, the most important thing before you get into a relationship is to love yourself which is much harder to do than it sounds. I don't think it is possible to be happy in a relationship if you don't love yourself enough. So I think this day could be dedicated to celebrating yourself and without any worries about your relationship status. There are plenty possibilities to make this a very happy day!

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

 That is probably an essential part without which it will simply be impossible to make anything good out of this day. There is no reason to be sorry for yourself, you are perfectly fine being single and having a boyfriend doesn't always make you the happiest person alive. You can be as happy while being single! 

Plan a girls day/night out. 

You and your best friends could (and should!) plan a day out to spend some time together and enjoy. Friendship is so important and having your best girlfriends around you is such an amazing feeling. You could put some make up on, wear something nice and go somewhere cozy and just talk for hours.

Spend a cozy evening alone.

 Sometimes it's a very good idea to spend a day just by yourself. If you cook a great meal, pour some wine and spend evening watching a great movie, it's a perfect night. 

Wear something pink or red.

 This day in general is surrounded by this red aura and it's just another great chance to wear this great color. I like wearing red anyway but I always have something red on me on Valentine's day! 

Plan a pamper evening. 

You have do this by yourself but it's even better when you do that with your girls. Bring face masks, scrubs, some cute nail polishes and spend some time treating your bodies! Of course, don't forget a little bit of champagne or some great cocktails!

Buy yourself something nice.

 Valentine's day is a great day to treat those you love and it's also a great day to treat yourself. Buy yourself that statement necklace you've been wanting to get for months or these great shoes for an upcoming spring or a little getaway trip somewhere out of the city.

Buy yourself some flowers.

 It's a good (very good) feeling when someone you love brings you flowers but why couldn't that person be you? You can buy yourself some fresh flowers because it actually feels very nice. Flowers instantly make your home look nicer and it's also a sing that Spring is approaching quickly, which is always good!

Whatever you decide to do, remember that is just a day in a year which doesn't have to be important if you don't want it to be but also you can always use a possibility to have fun and celebrate a little bit. Just remember You are not alone and surround yourself with positive people. Hope You'll have fun!

She lives on love street

 I know Valentine's day was couple of days ago but fortunately I have other beautiful days to celebrate! I've been counting days until this thursday (It's not the Valentine's day that's so important to me) the whole week because this weekend was supposed to be a weekend full of love. And that's exactly what it was! :)


 These were my nails for the love week :)

iI found this very very cute DIY on internet and I absolutely loved it. It's an amazing idea for your loved ones. And it's very simple to do that too :)
