:: WHAT IMPRESSED ME, WHICH SONGS GIVE ME POWER AND A QUOTE, THAT`S NOT REALLY A QUOTE ::

1. Video that impressed me this week - The invisible bicycle helmet:

When I saw this, I said "whaaaat", but damn, it`s a nice idea! 

Check out more on their website here. You will want to have one, trust me. 

2. A list of songs that make me happy while I run, so I guess I can call them "my running songs". 

1.   The xx - You got the love (florence & the maschine cover)

2.   Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can`t hold us feat. Ray Dalton 

3.   Feed me & Crystal Fighters - Love is all I got

4.   Netsky - Everyday

5.   Rudimental - Waiting all night feat. Ella Eyre 

6.   Flight Facilities - Crave you

7.   Beth Ditto - I wrote the book 

8.   Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine?

9.   Cage the Elephant - Come a little closer

10. Max Manie - Sunday (klangtherapeuten remix)

Of course I have tons of songs on my shuffle, but this ones are usually on repeat a couple of times. It`s funny how music gives me strength in the moments when I feel very weak, for ex. when I run long distances, music is much appreciated. Do you have your own power songs? (share please) :) 

3. A quote, that`s not really a quote 

Whatever it`s going on in your life, just don`t forget to breathe...

Oh, it`s a shitty weather for a Saturday, but let`s make something good out of it. I`ve got a lot of projects
going on right now, so I am a bit busy and super excited. December is coming, and I`m happy about it. 

That`s it. Tonight we have a small gathering, just some friends, some snacks, some drinks, happy thoughts, laughter, long talks.... you know, whatever goes with it. 

Enjoy your Saturday! 

Love, M.

:: WEEKLY (DIY) |VALENTINE`S| INSPIRATION ::

Valentine`s Day is right around the corner and I still haven`t post anything about it. I saw so many cool DIY ideas + I have some of my own, but the time is not on my side. So, here are some of the ideas I really love that I found on pinterest/tumblr. I`m not really a big fan of Valentine`s (I think I wrote something similar last year as well), but it`s a holiday that gives you a chance to be super creative with red/pink, hearts and chocolate......I`m a girl, so how could I resist to that? :) 

xo, M.

1. Neon Valentines ; 2. Tumblr - heart shaped t-shirt ; 3. Chocolate Strawberries (tumblr) 4. Tags Idea (tumblr)

1. Chocolate sugar cookies ; 2. Valentines photo botanical art ; 3. DIY Fabric Valentine ; 4. Love Letters

+ The beat of the week :) 

:: FILM :: DJANGO UNCHAINED ::

Yes, yet again it`s time to update my "cinematheque". This time with a movie from Quentin Tarantino (god, I love his movies)! I`m sure you all know who he is or what he`s done, if you don`t, well shame on you.

Anyhow, I went to the cinema last week to watch "Django Unchained" and I really enjoyed the movie, but there was something missing and I still didn`t figure it out what would that be...

IMDB - Western, Drama, Adventure (8.6/10)

+ the soundtrack is really good! ;) 

Enjoy!
xo, M.

:: LIVE the LIFE ::

Hi there! :) How are you? I`ve been a bit absent this week...busy as always. Hehe, it`s really hard to write text and watch tennis at the same time, cuz I`m super excited about the match and can`t really concentrate on what I want to write here.... Are you watching/Did you watch the match between Djoko & Murray? Who`s ur guy? :) Im all the way for Nole! :) 

Anyway, talking about men, this post is actually for men....my friend once said to me that my blog is becoming girlish, which is true and since than I think it`s gotten even "worse"! ;)  So, this is something for the boys, that come visit my blog! So please, give me a sign people, that I`ll know there are also men who are reading my posts! ;) 

Anyway I made kind of a fashion collage with photos that I like & a song that I`m super in love with! I hope you like it! Have a great Sunday & do something nice for someone today! ;) 

P.s. You can also follow me on Instagram now!

:: MIXTAGRAM ::

I decided to make my own "Instagram" that`s called "Mixtagram" ( I know, I have a wild imagination). :) 

Basically the same thing, sharing some moments of the week, where I won`t use much words, I`ll let the photos to tell their own story.

I just need to make a comment about the snowman that we found this morning in front of the building. I guess one of our neighbours had to express his feelings & he did that with creating this snowman. Well, he`s kind a cool...a rockstar among the snowmans. :) 

Btw 2013 didn`t start very well....too much things going on, I can barely get some sleep. If it will continue with this pace, I`ll need to go on  a vacation soon (it`s always good to have an excuse, right?). :) 

Odločila sem se narediti svoj "Instagram", ki se mu reče "Mixtagram" (vem, imam divjo domišljijo). :)

V bistvu se gre za isto zadevo, delila bom nekatere trenutke, kjer ne bom uporabljala besed ampak bom pustila slikam naj povedo svojo zgodbo. Tokrat bi komentirala samo snežkota....odkrila sva ga zjutraj na poti v mesto in to kar pred najinim blokom. Očitno je nekdo od sosedov želel izraziti svoja čustva in si je dal duška z oblikovanjem tega jeznega snežaka (me je pa nasmejal). Kaj naj rečem, sej je kar kul, nekakšna rock zvezda med snežaki. :) 

Mimogrede, 2013 se ni začelo najbolje, preveč stvari se mi dogaja, tako da komaj dohajam. Če se bo nadaljevalo s takšnim tempom, bom kmalu potrebovala počitnice (izgovor vedno prav pride, kajne?). :) 

Beat of the week : 

:: INSPIRATIONAL COLLAGE | January | ::

If you maybe don`t know I also have a tumblr account, which is one of my inspirational sites. 

In the past I already did some posts/collages - Fotomix inspirations, so now I`m turning them into a monthly thing. 

That`s all. :)

What can I do....I like collages! <3 

Have a good night!

:: WINTERLICIOUS TAG ::

via tumblr

I saw this "Winterlicious Tag" on Ana`s blog and I really liked it, so I decided to do one of my own. ;)

Na Aninem blogu sem zasledila "Winterlicious Tag" objavo in ker mi je bila zelo luštna, sem jo naredila še sama. 

1. Favorite Winter Nail Polish / Najljubši zimski lak za nohte

Chanel - delight

2. Most worn Winter clothing piece + Winter accessory? / Najljubše zimsko oblačilo + dodatki?

6. Favorite Holiday food/treat? / Najljubša praznična hrana, slaščica?

8. Favorite DIY project / Najljubši "naredi sam" projekt

I picked one of my DIY`s and I couldn`t really decide between the Christmas Tree & this ornaments, but in the end I decided for the ornaments, cuz I already talked about the tree a lot. ;) 

/ Izbrala sem enega izmed svojih "naredi sam" projektov, ampak sem imela kar probleme pri izbiri med smrekico in okraski iz das mase. Na koncu so prevladali okraski, ker se mi zdi, da je o smrekici že bilo dovolj govora. ;)

9. What is the best thing to do in Winter time?

Well, I like to stay in, being cozy on the bed with a book or a movie + I don`t mind outdoor activities as well. ;) 

via tumblr

10. And a little tip for the way in the 2013! Moments truly are the best thing that we have. You know what they say.....They can take everything from you, but they can`t take your memory. ;) 

Za konec pa še nasvet za leto 2013! ;) Trenutki in spomini so tisto kar res šteje, tako da le delajte na tem. ;) Saj veste kaj pravijo...izgubite lahko vse, spomin vam pa ostane za vedno.

:: TWINKLING LIGHTS ::

November is all depressive and boring, but the good thing is, that after that we have December. For me December is a beautiful/happy month, but it goes by way to fast and before we know it, January is here and everyone are going crazy, cuz they feel the need to change their way of life, or at least their haircut. 

I still think you don`t need a new year for a fresh start. What you need, is to set your mind in the right direction and than reach for your dreams, wish, goal...whatever you want to call it & I`m sure you`ll make it. Hehe, an inspirational speech of mine, when in fact I feel totally uninspired right now. I`ve been writing this text for 20min already. Don`t know what`s up with that...maybe I`m just tired. Sometimes it`s really hard to focus on what I`m writing....do you my bloger friends (which I dont really know) have that too? :)

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I really enjoy spending time with my friends, walking in the snow, drinking gluehwine, twinkling nights, making snowmans, holiday decor & diy projects...basically overall holiday spirit, cuz it brings out the good vibes & the good vibes is what I like! ;) 

November je dolgočasen in depresiven, zato še dobro, da mu sledi december. Zame je december lep in vesel mesec, ki pa žal prehitro mine in še preden se zavemo, nam za vrat že diha januar - mesec zaobljub, ko vsi norijo, kako bodo spremenili svoj način življenja ali pa vsaj pričesko, ker potrebujejo spremembo. 

Moje prepričanje pa je, da za nov začetek ne potrebuješ novega leta. Vse kar je potrebno je to, da naravnaš svoje misli v pravo stvar in nato sežeš po svoje sanje, želje, cilj ... kakorkoli bi to pač radi poimenovali in prepričana sem, da vam bo uspelo. 

Hehe, dajem nek inspiracijski govor, v bistvu pa sem sama trenutno čisto na dnu kar se zadeva inspiracije. Tekst spravljam skupaj že 20 minut (da ne govorim o tem, kako mi je pisati v angleščini veliko lažje)...

Kaj pa vem, mogoče sem pa samo utrujena. Včasih se je res težko osredotočiti na pisanje in sploh dobiti idejo, kaj napisati, da bo šlo dobro zraven slik...se vam to kdaj dogaja moji blogerski prijatelji? 

Skratka, namen objave je bil povedati, da decembra res uživam v druženju s prijatelji (smučanje, druženja ob kuhančku..), sprehodih po mestu, božičnih lučkah, ki krasijo mesta, delanju snežakov, prazničnih "diy" projektih...skratka na splošno v prazničnem vzdušju, ker se mi zdi, da izvleče iz ljudi tisto dobro in zato je povsod čutiti pozitivno energijo in to je to, kar me spravlja v dobro voljo! ;)

On the way to that twinkling cabin..

Chestnut cake - Mmmm!

p.s. Yesterday I got an email with a wish of playing this video on my blog. The girl that sent me an email was a friend of Aleksander (the guy who is performing this song). So, because I love Bon Iver + I think he did a good job + I respect people who are doing good things to help their friends out, I decided to post the video. 

Aleksander, I hope you make it in this business + Good luck! ;)  

p.s. Včeraj sem prejela e-mail od gospodične, ki me je prosila, če lahko objavim spodnji video, katerega izvajalec je Aleksander. Torej, ker sem big fan Bon Iver-jev + mislim, da je gospodič dobro naredil tale Cover in ker spoštujem ljudi, ki znajo narediti nekaj dobrega za svoje prijatelje, sem ta video tudi objavila. Aleksander, upam da ti uspe. Pa srečno! ;)

:: LOVE LOVE LOVE :: DECEMBER.

I`ll let the photos tell the story. x

 Tonight = movie night.

+ 

I`m not a big fan of Winter, but you have to love twinkling days in December.

Just a song to go with this post. :)

:: WHEN THE UNIVERSE CONSPIRES ::

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

(Paulo Coelho)

Do you ever have a bad day? What a silly question, of course you do, but what do you do when it happens? 

Usually when I have one of those bad days, it gets even worse cuz it`s like the universe is against me. The scenario of what I`m talking about, would be kind of like this: on the road, I`d hit every red light possible, in the store I`d pick the cashier, that of course is the slowest + something would be wrong with the card of the person ahead of me, so I`d wait for 20 minutes and be late for work + there would be a parking ticket waiting for me (cuz I`d thought I`ll be quick, 5min max). Then, when I`d come home I`d realize I forgot my phone in the office, so I`d use the internet to reach my friends, but it wouldn`t work due to some maintenance stuff and of course I`d be deeply disappointed, and try to read a book instead (the one that`s on my must read list for a while now), but It seems I can`t find it anywhere.

So, what should a girl/boy do? 

For me it works if I lay down and enjoy some cinnamon cookies + fruit/winter flavoured tea. 

Ah yes, December is coming and I`m pleased. It`s the only month in Winter that I really enjoy in....well, at least the last two weeks of it. Ok, and maybe a week of skiing in February is also not bad. :)

:: TOP SIX THIS WEEK + | music bonus | ::

I started with this here and I`ll keep going with it, cuz I really enjoy inspirational posts. Ah, today it`s not really my day. I`m sleepy and craving for coffee all the time. For sure it`s the weather, but I`m hoping for some sun later, cuz this cloudy/foggy situation isn`t really working for me. Yeez, for the weekend there`s a chance of snowing! What a bad timing to go run a half marathon, but hey, who knows, it might be fun (and cold). 

Anyway, ladies & gents, have a great (creative) Wednesday! 

hugs + kisses, 

M.

and for the end, let`s finish with a dessert. What do u say? ;) 

+ song of the day. 

:: | BREAKFAST | ::

Yes, I can (have breakfast and not be late for work) ! 

French toast with avocado + cherry tomato + olives + feta cheese + tomato spicy sauce + creamy cheese sauce

+ today`s song for the good start of the day

:: TOP SIX THIS WEEK + /music bonus/ ::

It`s not usual that I post things about fashion or what I like about it, but it`s never too late to change that right? :) I just picked some of my favourite looks/details that I found lately (tumblr + pinterest) and made this quick double collages (or whatever photo+photo are called). : )

Since it`s Friday and I can`t go out, I`m enjoying my time with the computer, tea and cookies. What a crazy life huh? :) 

Anyway, I really love patterns + navy + black + leather + studs + red + white. This photos below are a perfect example of what I`d wear or what I already have. :)

It`s not cuz it`s trendy, I always loved studs & I always loved black. I`m a big fan of patterns, red is my colour since ever and white, well that`s the basic. :) 

Ah,I should tell you that I also have this other personality that is totally obsessed with colours and when that happens, I go wild. That`s it...for now. :)

yeeeez i love The XX + I love Florence and The Machine, so I couldn`t resit to post this song! :)
hihi /me in the party mood, need to do smth about that next weekend!
Have a great (cozy/party/crazy) weekend!
love ya all  xx
