Life Update
Hi everybody!
I haven't been truly blogging almost forever... That's sad because I like blogging. But I also have studies, different projects I participate in, small road trips and a part-time job from time to time. So, it's hard. But the funniest thing is when I'm feeling at my LOWEST I always get back to blogging. It makes me happy. :)
But as I haven't been here for approximately 6 MONTHS I just want to do a little update in a diaries form if you don't mind.
March
In March I had an opportunity to become one lawyer's shade for a day and skip the school. (YAY!) It was a very interesting experience. I saw how the whole process happens at the court and understood more the nature of this profession. Some cases can be really boring and then it feels an hour spent in the court was wasted and spent for nothing. Also I have found out that they use a video conference when people that litigate live in different cities. Technology progress of course.
April
April was time for me when I went on a "hunt" for searching a summer job. You should always do this beforehand because to find a job for a summer season at the end of May is almost impossible (though I've done that, too, once). At that time I was also participating in a project New Business-people University where I had an opportunity to create a business idea and a business plan with two beautiful girls. Our idea was a 2nd best idea so we also were rewarded for that. It was probably one of best experiences I had this year.
Well, in May I went on an excursion to Lithuania that I posted about here. May was also filled with exams and endless job interviews. So busy.
June
In June I started working at H&M where I still continue to work. My sister got engaged. I did some volunteering jobs with kids as I always do each summer. And also the hard thing was moving from my lovely apatments to the new ones but this is life. I got used to the new place I live in though I still don't know where is most of my stuff.
July
In July I volunteered to go to a children camp as a teacher. It was a very emotional and hard experience. I got very attached to the 8 little girls I lived with the whole week. I so didn't want to get separated from them that I'm afraid I'm not going to do that again. Way too hard to say good-bye.
August
In August I went to my friend's wedding in Liepaja where I have never been before (It's very windy there. Even in the summer). It was an amazing experience. I am so happy for all of my friends that got married this summer. :) Then I also went to a youth camp History Makers where I could truly have some rest at least for a few days at the end of the summer. :)
September
Starting with September it started to get hard because I've decided to combine my part-time job with my senior year at school which was great until now when I got sick. There is just a lot to do. The good thing is my sister had here marriage registration but it wasn't a wedding, yet. :) And another great thing is that I met one Argentinian girl which now helps me teach kids at Sunday School. That's really nice.
Now, I need to get well because my sister's wedding is already this Saturday. And unfortunately tomorrow I am going to miss a trip to Kolka with my class because of a cold. :( So I should get well as fast as I can! I am also longing to go to a theater or a ballet or a fashion show (and the list could go on and on and on. There are a lot of interesting event going on) but currently there is just no time for that. Hopefully soon something will change.
Love you all!
Blessings!

Autumn/Winter Fashion Inspiration
Hi guys!
I've just got a cold because I weren't wearing appropriate clothes for a cold weather we have know. So I'm thinking of some ideas not to let this happen again. Perhaps I should buy some more warm clothes :)
Beneath each inspirational photo that I took from Google there is a comment which I wrote mostly just for myself...
Get inspired!
Casual style. But not everybody can wear these sweaters in such a cool way as she does.
So girly, but not for a very cold weather.
Amazing! I so like the color! : D But probably I would never dare to wear that kind of bracelet.
This is my favorite! So cool!
So good for every day wearing.
Looks nice but in autumn/winter I can't stand wearing coats that you can't zip or button up. It may be very windy sometimes and I don't want to get a cold again.
This is very cute. But probably those french style caps are not for everybody.
Casual style.
It looks very cute but when it's really cold then for sure you should wear a coat, too. ;)
I've never had anything like that. But I'm very interested in trying to wear something like that.
Very beautiful. Especially the bottom is fire! And all together it looks very stylish. The necklace is very pretty. :)
My kind of style.
Very cool. The scarf! And the boots! Amazing!

5 Ways To Start Living An Active Lifestyle
For me there is nothing sadder than to live my day in vain. A meaningless day. A day when you have done nothing useful and haven't made yourself or others happy. I HATE these days. I want every day to be filled with meaning and have little victories every day. It's much more interesting to live your life then when every day you achieve some goals.
But I know from my own experience that sometimes when you are a student or you really have to work hard at your job then you come back home and you're dead... just completely dead... then you don't get enough of sleep and you feel so tired and don't want to do anything. It makes you feel depressed, stressed and unhappy. I know it.
I think the thing is still to keep doing something that you like and that make you happy even when you feel tired because as soon as you will start doing that thing your enthusiasm will make you forget about your tiredness and you'll feel happy again.
However, it's still hard to motivate ourselves to live an active lifestyle in the 21st century. So here are my 5 tips that give me inspiration to be more active. :)
1. Read a motivational book or listen to motivational speakers!
The little truths that all the motivational speakers and authors teach are very simple. But it's not enough to just know the truth. You need someone to remind you about it from time to time. It's like a bonfire. If you do not add new firewood to the bonfire from time to time it will stop burning. Same in relationships: if you stop spending quality time with your friends your friendship fades in time.
The last motivational book I've read is 100 Ways To Motivate Yourself by Steve Chandler. The true story is that when I started reading this book I was so stressed at school that my every bone and muscle was aching from pain because I would never get enough of sleep and would never relax. But reading this book reminded about how a positive way of thinking can change your life. As soon as I started thinking positively about every situation I had at school I stopped being so stressed out. The back ache ceased in the moment I decided to stay positive and be happy. It was an AMAZING feeling. I do not lie!!!
So find your author or speaker!
P.S. I've read something like that our brain can only work if it gets oxygen. The more oxygen the better our brain works. To get more oxygen we need to breathe deeply. To make our lungs take deep breaths and be healthy we can do sport like running or swimming. So this is a little life hacker. :P

So find your author or speaker!
2. Listen to the motivational music!
If you listen to the sad songs all the time you will also feel sad and being sad does not motivate many people. So find some music that motivates you to get up and work. Music that makes you feel happy. And listen to it and sing along loudly early in the morning before you start your day even if you don't feel like that. As soon as you'll start your brain will remember the happy feelings it associates with the song and you'll be energised for the whole day! You can find my playlist here.
3. Do some physical exercises!
As it's been already said by many people the best rest for your body is not lying in front of the TV for hours it's changing your action. If you've been sitting at your desk for 8 hours then the best relaxation to your body would be something active. Go for a walk or run and after 15 minutes you'll feel better. And when your body feels good you are more motivated to do something than when you feel tired. I personally like to do stretching and gymnastics because it's something you can do without living the house.
4. Visualise!
Visualise your goals and your dreams! You can draw or do a collage or find pictures that visualise your dreams and goals on the Internet and then put them at the places where you will be able to see them. For example right now on my computer's desktop I have a picture that says: "Adventure awaits". It makes me believe that my life is an adventure and it also makes me want to do something to make it adventurous. Do you understand the idea? Put these notes, pictures and drawings all over you and your brain will do the work when it sees them! The more your brain will get these images the more you will be able to believe that your goals are possible to achieve. ;-)
5. Surround yourself with positive friends that will believe in you, motivate you and inspire you!
You are the average of 5 people you spend most of your time with. If you spend your time with people that are pessimistic and drag you down all the time then it's not worth it. It's better to be alone then with friends that keep you from reaching you potential...reaching your dreams. Trust me there is no need to be afraid. With some time you'll find the friends that will support you and understand you. And I think this would be many times a healthier friendship than the first option. Life is too short to waist it on people that keep you from being happy and fully satisfied with your life.
P.S. I've read something like that our brain can only work if it gets oxygen. The more oxygen the better our brain works. To get more oxygen we need to breathe deeply. To make our lungs take deep breaths and be healthy we can do sport like running or swimming. So this is a little life hacker. :P
