I'm not so sure what this graffiti means - sober? 

How did you spend your Sunday? :)

Allegiant | Veronica Roth I swear I don't know how, but it just happened. On a boring day back in March, when I had nothing to do, I downloaded a movie called 'Divergent'. For two hours I didn't move and my eyes were glued to the computer screen (and no, Theo James wasn't the only reason!). I watched the same movie two times the next day. On the third day, I went to a nearby library and borrowed the book in my mother language. When there was a sleepover party, I always demanded that we HAD to watch the movie. And I somehow even convinced my mom to go to the cinema to watch it with me (I was watching it for the 5th time). But the thing doesn't end here - my mom actually read the whole series before me, but just only because she doesn't have to study 24/7. Anyhow, I'm reading the third, and the last part of the series.

Life after Life | Kate Atkinson A few weeks ago I was strolling through GoodReads and I came across this book. I felt the need of holding it in my hands after reading what was written in the back of it: 
"What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right?
During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath. During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale."
Now I personally have no clue what this book is actually about, but I'm absolutely thrilled about the idea of reading it.



The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time | Mark Haddon  This is the book I was talking about - the reading assignment we had in our english class. At first I wasn't very impressed at the language that is used in this book, simply because anyone can read it. But I was wrong! This is an excellent book, and while reading it, I constantly had the idea that I was in the book. To summarise harshly: the book is about a boy with Asperger's syndrome, how his mind works and how he lives in this world, among many other things.


Have you read any of these books? Do you have any recommendations for me? :)

Since I've been using Instagram quite a lot, I decided to tell you the stories behind the pictures.
As you can see, the first picture(top left) is all about the selfies. I took tons of selfies on Saturday and I was feeling kinda fabulous with my makeup on and a cute sweater from a thrift shop. Me&my dad went to Michael Buble's concert on Thursday(November 6th), and I also took few pictures and quite a lot of videos. My dad introduced me to this guy back in 2009 I think, and I eventually grew to like his romantic, 50's-60's style. But the concert was exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. Michael made me feel like there weren't 6000 people there, but only 6. He was funny and I think he has a special relationship with his 'fans' - to him, it felt like they are just normal people who like his music. The next picture was taken in Vicenza, Italy, where I went with my class(school trip). This is one of my good friends Lara, and we were actually talking what kind of a pose we will do, and this is the result. The fourth picture was also taken somewhere in Italy - while we were already driving home, we stopped on a gas station. Me and Veronica (the girl who is piggyback riding me) were just fooling around and then all of a sudden, trucks started to drive by us, so she quickly jumped on me, and everyone said that it's going to be a weird background, but I hoped it would end up being artistic. And I think it did. The next picture is also the last picture taken in Vicenza. I wanted to capture the architecture as well as the proof that it had rained(you can see a puddle on the right side). I also edited this picture with VSCO cam.  The last picture is a picture of my French exam - I got an A, 91%! I was so worried because I was sure that I completely messed up one part of it, so I was expecting something between 70%-85%. In my country, we are actually graded from 1 to 5(1 is not sufficient, 5 is excellent). It's kinda clear that I have a so called 'ear for languages', because it rarely happens that I actually study for my English or French exam. Fun fact, I also took up Russian language as my weekly activity (I don't get graded in this class). 

First of all, I have to apologise for neglecting my blog and my email. When I opened my email this morning, I received quite a few emails from you guys asking for a blog design or for a simple header. And yes, I'm still doing everything for free, so if you're interested, send me an email!:)

So what did you do in the past week?:) 

We were walking through the streets of Vicenza (Italy) last friday trying to find our meeting point. My class was supposed to visit Teatro Olimpico, but we learned that it opened at 2pm, which mean we had 2 hours completely to ourselves. Me and my friends went to a nearby cafe and ordered cappuccinos. On our way to find the perfect cafe, I stumbled upon a sign that suddenly made my day.
SEPHORA. I was in Paris with school about three years ago when I first heard about the shop, but it meant nothing for me. Within years I started using more and more makeup, so clearly I heard about Sephora all over again. And when I saw it in Vicenza, no one could stop me. I ran directly into the store like I was about to rob it. I think we spent about 20 minutes in it, and I wanted to touch every single thing that was there. Sadly my friends didn't understand my weird behaviour, but no one recommended leaving the store (nobody had the guts).

I payed 11$ for this eyeliner, and I don't regret it at all. I've heard a lot about this makeup brand, the good and the bad. The pro of this eyeliner is that it's very thin and it allows you to create small masterpieces that can easily be turned into big and glamorous ones. I also love that it doesn't become all watery or that the colour isn't black anymore, but it's grey all of a sudden.
Before purchasing this eyeliner I was using Max Factor's, and it was okay, but I often had some difficulties while making the winged eye. And the thing I love the most (beside being black all the time and not turning into shady grey), is that it doesn't wear off. I went to a party and forgot to take my makeup off. I woke up in the morning, and everything was like the day before. The only bad thing about this eyeliner is the price - 0,085 oz. for 11$. But I've reached a decision: when I need to buy a new eyeliner, I'll definitely buy it again, who cares about the price.

But I couldn't buy only one thing, so I picked the cheapest thing I could find - a lip balm. After we left Sephora, I saw KIKO, and once again, no one could stop me. I purchased two eyeshadows, and each of them was on sale, so I spent only 6$ for both of them.

The final conclusion is: if you ever get the chance to visit Sephora, DO IT. And buy everything. Who cares about the debts. Makeup = happiness.

When I woke up this morning, I kept thinking about things that I love, and not only the 'basic ones'. I also wasn't feeling very adventurous, even though I should do a makeup tutorial sometime soon. I know I promised many times that I'll post more, but combining school work, social life, watching movies and TV series, taking my dog out AND working out, makes it kinda hard. It would really mean so much if you'd tell me what kind of post should I do next! 

1. My family.  I had to start the list with my family! I have a special place in my heart for my mum who pretty much raised me on her own. And then there's my little brother and sister, without them I probably wouldn't know what patience is. 2. My friends. I have three close friends, but I also love others, even if I talk to them for five minutes every week. 3. My pets. I have three cats: Nelly, Aisha and Diego, and a dog, Lars. Without these cuddly creatures my life would be probably boring. 4. Listening to music. I adore finding new songs that I just feel were made for me. I'm currently obsessed with Taylor Swift's album 1989 and Michael Buble's To Be Loved.  5. Autumn and December. I don't necessary adore winter, but I kind of love autumn, having rain its only con. Sweater weather all the way! 6. Youtube videos. I daily check on newest videos from people I'm subscribed to. My favourite youtube people are Pewdiepie, Michelle Phan, Stilababe09, GlitterForever17, MayBaby, Blogilates, Apn9a, Mylifeaseva, LaurDIY, Troye Sivan, Connor Franta and Bethany Mota. I hope I'll open my own youtube account someday. 7. Watching movies and TV shows. I love romantic comedies, historical and adventurous movies. 8. Makeup. Many people are mistaken why girl use makeup, it's not for OTHERS, it's for ME. Because I feel fabulous while wearing it! Watching tutorials and different makeup videos are a must-do. 9. Drinking tea and coffee. I don't care what time it is, or what kind of season it is, I'll have my cup of coffee/tea. I usually drink up to 3 cup of teas in December! My favourite coffee is cappuccino that my mum makes for me. 10. Egg omelette. Not sure why, I just love it. 11. Learning new languages. That's the only thing that I feel proud of. I started learning english when I was 7, but I was very fond of cartoons in english since I was four. I also don't have an accent, many people think I'm actually an American ( I don't fake my accent, but I guess my brain kinda copied it from all of those TV shows/movies/cartoons). I was learning Spanish from 7th grade to 9th grade, and I still understand a lot. I started studying French last year, and this year I also decided to learn Russian. Because I'm Slavic, I understand almost every slavic language (Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, even a little bit Ukrainian and Russian). I tend to learn languages very quickly. 12. Visiting new places. I'm always up for travelling. I've been to Italy, Austria, Germany, France, Spain, UK, Switzerland, Monaco, Bosnia and Hercegovina.  13. Photography. My iPhone 5 takes great pictures, and I love editing them with different apps and posting them on my Instagram. I don't have a camera, but I really want one and start taking photography more serious. 14. United Kingdom. I'm not so sure when I developed my love for the Brits and their country. I went to London with my dad two years ago and I wanted to go back ever since. I also decided I'll move to the UK when I'm 19 and I already found some universities I'd like to go to (I'll probably be moving to Scotland). 15. Writing. When I was a little girl, I had a huge imagination and I would make up tons of stories. To this day nothing has changed. I used to write stories, but I'd never finish them because I lost interest. 16. Thinking about my future and writing it down.  17. Singing and dancing like crazy when I'm on my own. I still use my radio, and I connect it to my iPod and then I go crazy. 18. Going out with my friends. 19. Clubbing. 20. Taking selfies when I'm feeling fabulous. 21. Helping and talking to people when they're sad 22. Gossiping. Who doesn't love a good gossip? 23. Spending time in my bed. Not necessarily sleeping. 24. Talking to my friends that live in another country. Especially Megan.  25. Long phone calls. 26. Reading books in english. It seems like more fun to read it in the language that it was written in. 27. Surprising people. It's the little things, you know. 28. Going to concerts. I've been to many concerts! One Direction 2x, Justin Bieber 2x, Michael Buble (he was performing in my country two days ago), ABBA, and some other slovene singers. I'm going to see One Republic on 16th of November, and 5 Seconds of Summer on 17th of May. 29. Boys. Well, most of the time. You know that feeling, when you really like someone but they don't like you back? I know that feeling too well. But not having a crush is boring! 30. Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Polyvore, reading cute blogs. 31. Being artistic. Writing, creating stuff with Photoshop, playing piano... 32. Running. When I'm pissed off, sad, happy, or simply filled with emotions I can't comprehend, I go for a run.

It's been ages since I've posted! To be honest, I've been lazy as well as I've been busy. Not to mention I wanted to pass all my tests in school AND wanting to keep a social life. Naturally, I had to neglect something. This time, the blog had to suffer. I have no idea how many followers I currently have, but even though I've been away for almost two weeks, you guys were actually constantly in my minds! I have to promise something - that is, to post more often! And for too long I haven't done a OOTD post or a makeup tutorial or something! 
So I do believe we have some catching up to do! I've read the second book of the trilogy Divergent, studied like hell, watched few seasons of Modern Family and tons of movies, and I actually did the home reading we had for school: Eugene Onegin (by Pushkin), an excellent book!  I'm currently at home, because we have holidays here. 
The main thing about getting NEW followers you have to know is where to find them. Sites like Bloglovin, Twitter and Facebook are really useful. But beside that - get to know people that like the same things as you do! Visit new blogs, read their posts and comment on them and tell your opinion! Do that as much as possible! But please don't spam around with stuff like: Follow me back!??!, because let's face it, no one likes that. There are a lot of pros (actually I cannot imagine even one con) to commenting other people's blogs. You can get ideas from their posts or maybe even outfit ideas (what you're going to wear to school tomorrow).
I also love to hear feedbacks. So, if someone comments on your post, make sure that you reply to it. I always reply on their blog, on their newest article, first commenting the thing they were talking about, and then saying thank you for visiting/commenting my blog. 
Make sure that you always let them know how to find you - especially your blog, so just write your blog url at the bottom of the comment.
As for posting - make a schedule. Commit yourself to a goal. I suggest few things: On days, when you have lots of time (usually the weekends), write more posts, but don't publish them all. Publish just one, and then save others as drafts and publish them day by day.
If you don't have a lot of time on the weekends, write something everyday. For example, do short posts on Wednesdays (maybe just pictures that you took in the past week, OOTD,...), then write a longer post on Thursday, then finish and publish it on Friday. 
The secret ingredient is: allocate your time. When you come from home/school, have something to eat. Then watch one episode/take a nap/ take your dog out for a walk/call your grandma or something that will take less than an hour and will relax. After that, do what you have to do (that's usually homework). If you have a big exam coming up in the next day(s), study as hard as possible, so you won't feel like you could've done more afterwards. And then make time for your blog! 
Write down the ideas you have on the day you have the most time (for me,that's usually Saturday), so you won't have to deal with that later.

I hope you liked these ideas! Do you have some tips for me? :)  (pictures are from here)
