|events - exhibition| ::VIŽDE - OTROC SO LAČN, TK JE::

On Friday I went with my girls to Žalec, to check out what "Vižde" prepared for us this time.

They organised a charity (art) exhibition of young artists that are coming from Žalec & Celje. In my opinion it was great, very well organised, fresh & new for our region, which I approve very much, because I think we definitely need more events like this, so "Bravo" boys&girls, well done & keep it going! ;) 

Lately, I`m asking myself, what are all the talented artists from my town doing, because I know there are a couple of them, but I don`t see much going on...I really hope people will at some point collaborate and make something good out of it (a kickass fresh idea of an event would be a good start, or just something very simple, but good for the city - we really need to be working on bringing life back into it, because at the moment, it`s just sad).

You don`t really need much though. Just time, some effort and an idea of course.

So, Celje....please, surprise me.

If there is anyone with an idea, but he needs help with the organisation, just contact me, I`m all in, I really think, we could do so much more. Nobody is really trying for the public good anymore, everyone started to be egoistic and just do, whatever is best for them. I get it to some point, but I still think, that we are the ones that can change things, we just need to help each other out. Even though you`ll do something for free once, that doesn`t mean you are not valuable, it just means you`re trying at your best + hoping for the best and it will come back to you (good karma and stuff like that). :)

Ah, whatever, it`s better I go to sleep instead of writting an essay here, cuz I was a bit carried away....anyhow, my muscles are still soar from the marathon on Sunday, tomorrow is the last working day for this week (yey!) and I had a kebab today for lunch (healthy, I know) - which was superlicious btw. :)

Good night, 

xo, M.

|mikstejp| :: A VERY SPECIAL BIRTH DAY ::

So, on Saturday it was a very special day. Guess why?  Yup, it was my birth daaaaaay! hihi, it was hard to beat last year celebration (if you dont remember, check it out here), but yet again it was unforgettable thx to Jaka & my friends. First in the morning I woke up and there it was, waiting for me.... the best breakfast possible, since I said one day before, that I`m craving for some orange juice and croissants (someone was listening to me very carefully, respect to that) :) Oh, and come on....the print is just adorable -  he loves me strawberry much!

Then, it was on me to decide what I want to do that day, so of  course I wanted to go hiking. :) It was a hot day, so some fresh air was really what I needed. We went to Rogla, had lunch and walked a bit + enjoyed the nature. Around 6pm it was time to go home and walking into our apartment it was definitely the highlight of the day, cuz they threw me a super duper surprise party!!! Woaaaa, I always wanted that! :) haha, you should see me, first I was scared cuz I thought someone broke into our flat (I`ve heard noises), but than quickly I realized that`s not the case, so I started to cry out of joy.... haha, it was amazing! Once again, thank you everyone for coming and being a part of another special day in my life that for sure I`ll always remember! <3 

Love you all! Ta taaaa xx 

The breakfast. 

Maja and the nature. :) 

That cow was blocking the road! 

Surprise!! 

Thank you once again for all the colorful pretty gifts I got <3 

|bits of my week| :: LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES::

Summer is fun, relaxed, hot, happy .. or at least it should be, when you finally have holidays & escape somewhere where you can forget on your job and all the problems back home.

I took advantage of the weekends, cuz our holidays this year were not really like we planned, because sometimes things happen, things that you are not able to control, things that make your world upside down and that make you sad, but life goes on and you can only say goodbye and be happy for all the moments that you had before the happening. I guess you figured out what I`m talking about and I`ll stay with that thought.

This last month was pretty emotional for me & full of surprises (not good ones), but sometimes we need smth to wake us up, so we start thinking about things, that we push so deep down inside of us, because they`re painful or not really pleasant, so it`s only natural to avoid them untill it` really neccessary. 

Ah, yes, c`est la vie right? 

 

Anyhow, since I haven`t posted anything for almost a month now, I decided to do a collage of my Summer days (gotta <3 Instagram). ;)

How`s your Summer? 

xo, M.
