Looking back on 2018

End of the year is a great opportunity to take some time and look back at your achievements, all the ups and downs. I must say, after a long time, I’m quite proud of myself. I’m far away from being perfect, don’t get me wrong and I still lots of basics things to learn. This year I invested some time in learning, which was almost forgotten task for me. I finished two online coding courses on Coursera (with huge help from my Krištof) and passed special law exam for working in public administration. Next year I want to earn Oxford Cambridge English CAE certificate and continue with coding challenges in Python and SQL. I’m not super smart for programming and need some extra time to figure things out, so I occasionally quit J . Another big thing for me is driving. I actually bought a car and drive almost daily. This was huge deal for me. I usually drive short distances during week and sometimes go somewhere farer during weekend. I’m still afraid of certain situations, freak out before...

Recent Ebay findings

Today I want to show you what I recently bought on Ebay and luckily everything turned out to be ok and as expected. Waiting on package from China or Hong Kong can be endless, so always get super excited when my item finally arrives. Still I mostly buy nail polishes, but right away after that there are stuff for my phone. Cartoon and marble pop-ups Yes I turned 30 this year, but I still have right to buy cute things and cartoon pop-ups for my phone are one of them. These looked so cute and invited that I had to buy at least one. I couldn’t decide between bear with glitters or regular somehow grumpy bear, so I ordered both. I mostly use a pop- up for my tablet, but smaller bear goes on my phone, because when I look at it, it somehow makes me happy. A few months ago I bought marble effect pop-ups, which I also like. I bought one for every family member, but they couldn’t get used to them. They think that this is not practical. Anyway pop-ups are quality made and the glue o...

Sunday mini facial

On Sunday evening is usually a great opportunity to relax and prepare your body and soul for another working week. To me that means hot bath, also little manicure and some extra face and hair care never hurts. Basically every Sunday I try to create a mini spa in my own bathroom for at least 20 minutes. Important part of my relaxing routine is using a face mask. I start my skincare routine with gentle face peeling. I currently use creamy apricot peeling from Afrodita . It’s not my favorite; because it leaves slightly oily trace on my face, but it still does its job nicely. Maybe it is better that it isn’t too harsh. It has thick consistency, natural ingredients and pleasant apricot smell. Every now and then I use nose patches for cleaning my blackheads. I haven’t found the most effective ones yet, but better that they remove something than nothing. I finally continue my ritual with face mask. I currently own two from Apivita which is natural certificated cosmetics brand...
