Visit Izola
If you're following me on Instagram you've probably seen photos from my trip to beautiful Izola, which I would describe as a little jewel of Slovenia. Read the blog and take a peek at the Izola vistas and its mouth-watering culinary experiences. Perhaps the photos will inspire you to take a trip to Izola in the coming weekend, the weather will still taste of summer! 🙂 Check in - HOTEL Marina **** Location: Veliki trg 11, 6310 Izola Parking space, a warm welcome, and a tidy room with a view of the marina. I had never imagined that a view of the marina could be so charming! If I'm being honest I expected a "car-park for boats", which doesn't sound [...]
Birthday weekend at Hotel Perla in Nova Gorica – day 3
9:30 We slept in a bit on our last day, because the day before was packed with things to do, since we knew it was going to rain today. We took our sweet time and headed for the hotel breakfast. By the way - I have never had a tastier hotel breakfast before. Because the hotel is huge the selection is amazing. The bread is crunchy, the bacon is well fried, there is yogurt, coffee, tea, spreads and pates, cheese, salami and ham... There is nothing better than a delicious and relaxing breakfast. 12:00 A breakfast this good called for a bit of rest in our room, and after that we visited the hotel cafe called [...]
Birthday weekend at Hotel Perla in Nova Gorica – day 2
8:00 My prayers for good weather were granted. Even though the weather forecast was not good, and it rained heavily during the night, we were greeted by the sun in the morning. Saturday exploring was a go! But before that, it's time for breakfast. Because the hotel is huge, the selection is amazing, and we bought found many things we really enjoyed. We also liked the small trash container on the table, where you can put the wrappers and papers and eat on a tidy and beautiful table. Cute! We also noticed that there is not a lot of plastic, which is a big plus for the hotel management. After breakfast we started exploring the area, and because [...]

5 Point Salute to 2018
Celebrating the new year has always been magical to me. Waiting for the clock to show all zeroes makes my heart beat faster every year. Through the years, the way I celebrate changed, but I have always been surrounded by loved ones, and this year will be no different. Other than the the people I love most I will make sure five things are with me this year, and they'll make sure the atmosphere is just right. #1 A fragrant and beautiful setting The most important thing for me is without a doubt comfort, a clean and tidy apartment with room for all my friends. And to create the right atmosphere I always light a candle. This year [...]
Nobody likes to go to the dentist…
I don't smile often in photographs. The reason stems from my elementary school years, when a dental surgeon had to rip out my baby canine tooth, which for same reason never came out. Of course I was left with a hole in its place for a whole year, because the new tooth didn't start to grow right away. That's when I started to cover my smile with my hand. Believe it or not, eight years later I still have to consciously remind myself not to do it. In the mean time I wore braces too, which made sure my new tooth grew properly and also straightened my front teeth. Nowadays I'm satisfied with my teeth and a smile [...]

Reasons why I love autumn
Every year, when September starts, I can't wait for autumn to arrive. The first colorful leaves signify the first day when I will put on a warm autumn coat and wrap myself in a warm scarf. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, and in today's blog I'll tell you why. #1 AUTUMN COLORS Warm autumn colors warm up my heart, and I love them on my face, lips, clothes, shoes and accessories. I am also partial to autumn fashion trends, since nothing beats thick, soft, knitted oversized pullovers, gorgeous jackets and coats and warm, fuzzy, autumn shoes. I think that autumn colors are the ones that make me feel the most comfortable - brown, [...]
My TOP5 #elevatorselfie-s
I frequently share moments from my life on my Instagram Mystories , and without a doubt you can find my outfits there, too. There is no place that is more convenient than an elevator for this, unless it stops at the third floor and an older lady with a bag and a chihuahua walks in. The only thing I can do in that case is roll my eyes and forget about my minute of fame in front of the mirror, becuase it turns into 10 minutes of conversation about the weather, lipstick, and how come I'm not cold, because when she was my age.... you know how it goes. Today I browsed my older Mystories and decided to pick my [...]
Do all good things truly come to an end?
Is it true? This is what I thought about when I had to leave the eastern coast of Istria and teleport myself into my chair and dig into my books. I had my final exam before enrolling into the next semester. All you students probably know the feeling and agree with me on how HORRIBLE the last exams are, when you’re not used to studying anymore, and when your thoughts are still in the salt water and hot sand. A very unpleasant feeling. About a month ago, on a sunday morning, I found myself at the ER with strong stomach pains, which I thought were caused by a case of appendicitis – this is definitely something I have [...]
My Perfect Morning…
...starts in the absence of the alarm clock's ringing, when the strongest sunrays break through the blinds and when I, still half asleep, roll to the other side of the bed into the warm embrace of my boyfriend. Of course, I stay like this for the next half hour. Because I have nowhere to be. I wake up sloooowly, very slowly – but only on perfect mornings. When I wake up a bit I always check my phone to see what’s new, and quickly glance over Instagram and Facebook. Then I lazily get up, pet my kitties, and start thinking about breakfast. “What shall I have today? Fresh croissants with marmelade, cottage cheese burek or cereal?”, is what goes [...]
