The Pain / Love is Art

 The pain

The dreadful pain

Has settled once again

In my heart

Oh how cruel

This world could be

But know one thing

Love is art

A murderer

 No matter the past

No matter the now

You were and always will be

A murderer

I can`t believe

How many victims

You left dead

Speechless I am now

I can`t believe it…

2023 - Равносметката

 It`s been a crazy year, to be honest. Many things happened, many things didn`t.

I am trying to focus on the good things that happened and keep on happening.

The pain from past events though seems to be still present. That is the problem.

This is the case with me and my parents. Nothing will erase the bad that some people caused my family.

My boyfriend is hurting too. 

2023 was overall a good year but I didn`t notice. This is the mood I am in.

Can`t wait for the next one.

 My newest obsession with lottery tickets has paid off! I actually won 100 BGN once from the ticket called 'The Black Diamond'. It costs only 3 BGN. I am playing regularly but I am never overspending for tickets at the same time.

Feng shui and general wellness advices

                                                   Happy new 2019 year! 

We said goodbye to 2018 and we are ready to welcome 2019 with a new positive attitude and fresh energy. But hardly anyone can be positive and energetic if they don`t apply certain rules of feng shui into their lives. I`m certain that the downlisted advice will be extremely beneficial for those of you who are not planning to call any feng shui expert any time soon, yet you want to have the best of what feng shui has to offer for the European types of homes. 

1. First of all - GET RID OF CLUTTER. This doesn`t necessarily mean to throw away all the things you own. I`m not talking minimalism. A simple rearrangement of your things, reorganizing and putting labels on storage boxes is enough to make your life easier. This way, according to feng shui, you`ll be boosting both your health and your chances of greater prosperity. Usually, this is the first step to applying feng shui into your life for good. 

2. Second of all - BE PREPARED TO GET RID OF INAPPROPRIATE DECORATION. By inappropriate I mean everything that may bring bad luck to you and your family. For example, images displaying war scenes and other unfortunate events such as plagues and shipwrecks are definitely not okay. Get rid of such pictures. And images displaying nakedness aren`t appropriate as well. Also, it is believed that every object that is more than 100 years old is bad for the household. My advice? If it is not valuable - just get rid of it immediately. African masks aren`t a good choice for décor. What else? Basically, there are countless articles on the Internet on the unlucky items you shouldn`t have at home. It`s not just one or two. 

3. Make sure your home gets enough natural (sun) light inside. Even though you may have the latest and the most trendy led lighting at home, it is hardly comparable to the effect of the real deal. Admit it - who doesn`t love sunlight (in healthy doses)? It is also believed that it is most efficient against all kinds of dark creatures that may roam in your house without you knowing about it. I`m talking real low energy vibrations that may cause harm to you and your family in the long run. So this is why sunlight is so important. 

4. Make sure you clean regularly. Dust is not welcomed in the year 2019. It is not welcomed ever! It holds really low depressing energy to it and lowers your vibrations. It isn`t healthy. It looks bad. Don`t tolerate it! Take action now!

5. GOOD VENTILATION. Something that is impossible to live without if you want to be healthy. Make sure you open up the windows regularly for fresh air. Of course, if it is not too cold outside. 

6. If you want greater wealth, determine where is the southeast corner of your home and decorate it accordingly. 

7. For health make sure the east part of your home doesn`t have clutter and take care of your wardrobe. Don`t pile up clothes like crazy. Donate or sell those which you no longer need and make room so that there is no more chaos in your wardrobe. 

8. Repair or throw away broken items. Especially wrist watches. Enough said. 

Some common superstitions in Bulgaria

1. A small mirror in your pocket helps for protection against your enemies.

2. Don`t leave your wallet or your handbag on the ground, otherwise, you`ll lose your fortune.

3. When you receive your monthly salary, let it stay overnight in your home without spending any of it, if you want to attract more money. And don`t count them!

4. One should not put/keep empty bottles, keys and hats on a table. This way the good fortune will run away from your home.

5. Don`t pick up small coins from the ground. Not only it is bad for your fortune, but for your health as well. 

6. Don`t leave your wallet completely empty! 

7. Don`t turn back right away to your home if you`re going on the road. This is believed to lead to bad luck.

8. Young women must not sit on the corners of the table, as this is believed to lead to them not getting married for the next 7 years.

9. If you happen to drop a knife on the ground, ask someone else to pick it up for you. If you do it yourself, bad luck will befall you.

10. Don`t cook when you are in a bad mood. The food becomes "poisonous" with your bad energy and this can affect the whole household.

Christmas & Shopping

                                                      Christmas tree in the Ring mall: 

This year the Christmas tree appeared earlier in the Ring mall. 

The brand H&M has a very good Christmas collection of jumpers to choose from. A few examples:

   



    

                                                     

 In the spirit of Christmas...

Традиционна трапеза за Бъдни вечер (Traditional Christmas Eve Dinner) - 24.12.17 България (Bulgaria)

The dishes must be either 5, 7 or any uneven number of your choosing, and wine, the bread you see in the middle, the wheat, and other ONLY lean, meatless things are a must. During this dinner, meat must not be eaten. Young women do not work this day, especially if they are to be married. 

Some Beauty Advice

 1. My hair is straight. But I`m cool with that because it looks better that way. I use shampoo and no conditioner as it is not dyed right now. The only experiment I did with color is when I used some ombre effect for my ends but it looked extremely extravagant to the point of ridiculous. Since then I haven`t dyed it although in some pictures it looks as though it has a red hue. My natural hair color actually varies depending on when I had washed it and on the light, it is shown under. When you curl your hair if you do so I recommend only one method - with hair rollers and then to preserve the effect - spray it with hair lacquer. Any other method will be just more harmful and might damage your hair in the long run.

 2. Face. Well, I`ve tried almost everything but I`m no fan of applying make-up regularly and I don`t recommend you do so yourself. But if you want to change your looks fast I will tell you how. Today I bought foundation (something I haven`t done in a long time). It is pretty nice because it has a matting effect and it is oil-free - a very handy feature if you have oily skin like mine. It wasn`t even that expensive. Some 5-6$. If you prefer, for a better effect and smoother application of the foundation you can buy base as well. I haven`t (at least not today). Be sure that you don`t buy foundation the color of which is darker than your face, if anything, it`s better to be lighter than darker. 

 3. Eyes. I use two types of eye-liner - one with a soft brush for the line right above the eyewashes and one with a hard one for the finishing effect outside of the eyelid. Then I put on mascara with a double brush - one side for elongating the lashes and the other for volumizing by creating more space between one and each lash. For my eyebrows, I use only pencil and occasionally I clean up some unruly small hairs which grow out of the way I prefer to have my eyebrows. Now, I`d like to warn you - don`t ever shave them and draw them back on - it looks utterly ridiculous. I`ve tried it. There`s also this danger of erasing them by accident and people might look at you funny. 

 4. Nails. This season it is trendy to have long pointy nails with floral decorations. To my nice surprise, I have exactly such nails. My nails are all black right at that moment but I regularly put on a flower or two. Tomorrow we have elections in my country so I must put on my best nail decorations. How do I do that? You will need already polished nails, some nail decorations, and topcoat nail polish. I have already put black so all it`s left of me to do is to put the decorations and then apply top coat nail polish as well, and then just let them dry. That`s all.
