Scattered Strawberry Summer

I needed a book to read on the beach during my sunbathing session, so I grabbed Entre Nous: A Woman's Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl. I started reading it a while ago and never finished for some reason. I managed to read it all during the one sunbathing session.  When I was little, I was kind of obsessed with France. I'm...

First day at work today after a week off. It was very hard to get up, mostly because I couldn't fall asleep in the first place. Whenever I'm off, I quickly return to a different sleep routine and it's very hard to revert it.  I enjoyed my time off, it's probably the first time we were off and chose to stay rather holiday...

A few items that I bought: Polka dots blouse, hat and leather (fake, obviously) jacket. All  from H&M, though I bought jacket on ebay for a very good price.     Increased my ring collection again and bought a set of gold rings from H&M.  There were 6 rings  in the set but I think I'll only wear 3 at the time, all of...

We were tired of sunbathing and the beach so we decided to spend a day in Brighton. The weather was still (mostly) very nice but not as hot as previous days.  . It might have been a weekday but there were many people around.  We browsed huge vintage shop. We hardly ever buy anything but it's nice to browse and look at all...

My latest instagrams Our Sunday breakfast, this is becoming a tradition. We're generally not breakfast people at all, but it's nice to have a nice cup of coffee and pain au chocolat when you don't have to hurry anywhere.  This is actually a rather old picture, taken 7 years ago or so.  Yeah the wings were quite big back then. This is another old...

It's my first official day off today. Me and my friend and her relatives went to Rye-  a  beautiful small town in East Sussex. I quite like to do touristy things, I might have lived in this country for 6 years but there is still plenty to see.  It's been really hot lately though often cloudy and humid, but I don't really mind.  We...

Hope you are had a wonderful weekend. I was happy to finish a rather difficult week at work but I sorted many issues so now I can relax and enjoy my time off. It was so lovely and hot on Friday, I had lunch at a lovely Italian restaurant.  It felt a bit like I'm on a holiday. I also picked up my...

As many of my readers might know already, I'm originally from Lithuania but after I completed my secondary education, I moved to UK and have been living here for 6 years. Many immigrants face the same problems and situations, but some problems would be more unique to smaller Eastern European countries. So I do get asked where I am from quite a lot....

Quick hello from me.  Never mind my hair, it's absolute mess if I don't straighten it.  I've been very busy at work, I have to finish quite a few things before I'm off for a week and a lot of it depends on other people getting back to me and there is nothing I can really do about it. I like to be...

I previously reviewed Urban Decay make up fixing spray, I thought  I need to balance it with a post on a product that actually works! And that's frownies!!.. Have you not heard of them?  I tend to frown a lot, it's really a bad habit but as many it's really hard to stop! I somehow stumbled upon Frownies online a while ago. At...

The past couple of months I've been living without a smartphone. My dearest Nokia Lumia 710 died peacefully in its sleep (charger port broke) and I haven't had a phone since. I've been waiting for a new Nokia Lumia 930 to be released and we finally got a release date! Yay, but I still have a while to go.  At first it wasn't...

In my early teens I spent 2 summers in Norway. My parents got seasonal jobs were and they took me with them.  We drove there by car, but first we took ferry from Klaipeda to Karlshamn, Sweden, when another ferry from Sweden to Norway, I do not remember which towns were they now.  It took us two long days to get there, a...

            You might be wondering what is this! This is a wedding gift for my friend. I wanted to get vintage maps to do this, but I couldn't  find any and it was a trouble to find this already. The maps represent the places they grew up at. I love the idea which I as you might have...

It's been ages, I know!  I didn't do anything particularly interesting during the week, it was lovely weather but I was working every day and didn't get to enjoy it. Friday was particularly hot and I woke up on Saturday to the sound of rain. Typical!!!..  My plans to go to Vines Cross to do a photoshoot fell through, but we met up...
