Chinese New Year/ Spring Festival (+ more of this crazy long day) :)

 If you didn't know I study at Riga Cultures Secondary school. And I study a lot of languages at this school. One of these languages is Chinese. Together with learning Chinese we learn traditional Chinese Culture. I think it's very interesting because Chinese Culture is very different from our western culture. And today at University of Latvia all the Latvia's students that study Chinese language had an amazing opporunity to celebrate a Chinese New Year/ Spring Fetsival. It was very interesting. There have been dragon show, magician show, songs, poetry, dances etc. So, yes it was very fun. :D And after it we all were invited to try Chinese food. There have been plenty of food and everybody were very happy and satisfied. :)

Here is a little video of dragon show which is my favourite.

 I also have a magician show video but it's too long so maybe I'll post it later after I'll edit it. :)

I didn't take any picture of food but you can check my classmate's Instagram photo. :)

Chinese Food 

 And also this evening I've spent a very good time at CofeeInn cafe. If you've never been there then you should definetely go there and try their hot drinks and desserts because it's delicious. My new favourite place to go. :)

My friend Nadine ordered this beautiful coffee with a treble clef of caramel. :)

And I ordered this delicious cheese cake with glaze. *Yummy.*

I hope you also had or will have a good Saturday!

Don't forget to live every day like it's the last!. :)

Five Healthy and Yummy Breakfast Ideas

 I know eating healthy is hard. I am not perfect at eating healthy breakfasts and I do eat chocolate sometimes for brekafast. Most of people including me sometimes just skip breakfast because we don't have time to eat in the morning before school or work. But breakfast is very important. And lately I've been trying to eat healthy so I decided to share some my ideas with you. :)

1. This is one of my favourites. :) Cottage cheese with sour cream and jam. It's healthy and yummy at the same time. Cottage cheese has a lot of calcium  and we all need calcium. I remember when one lady told me that if women don't have enough of calcium then during pregnancy they might lose all their teeth. I was 13 then and got very scared. When I came home I asked my Mum to buy me cottage cheese every day so I won't lose my teeth when I'll get pregnant. :D xoxo I thought then that I'll be eating cottage cheese every day but eating cottage cheese every day is boring so let's move on. :)

 2. I make porridge of oat flakes by just putting a little of boiling water in it and then add some muesli so it's more yummy and sweet. Eating porridge doesn't always have to be boring. :) And again it's healthy and yummy at the same time if you add something to it like muesli, jam or maybe even fruit.

 3. The third idea is YOGURT! :)

 4. You can eat cereals with milk but if you want this breakfast to be super healthy then choose sugar free cereals. I usually eat Fitness cereals but the last pack of it was torn so unfortunately I couldn't take a photo of it but I hope you' ll forgive me for it. :)

5. The last idea is to do a FRUIT SALAD! It's fast, easy, yummy and you will get a lot of vitamins. :)

 I hope you enjoyed reading this post and it at least a little helped or inspired you eating healthy! :)

Leave your healthy breakfast ideas/recipes in the comments PLEASE!

How To Be Organised?

 People often ask me how to be succesful and have time to do everything. And I hate when they ask me because the only answer I have is DISCIPLINE! And people hate it! And I am afraid that probably when I answer them with DISCIPLINE they begin hating on me, too because they don't like this word.
 I know it's hard to be organised and lately I've been super unorganised myself but let's think about fun ways to do it! :)
 First. Always follow this rule!!!
 Things to do:
1. Important and urgent.
2. Important and not urgent.
3. Not important but urgent.
4. Not  important and not urgent.

Always do things in this order. Try to evaluate what is important and what is urgent and what isn't.

Second. If you have a bad memory just like me then write things you have to do on the stickers and then hang them everywhere you can so you don't forget to do it. Try to make these stickers very colourful and bold so it would easily attract your attention! :)

Have a planner! Teach yourself to plan time! If you know you have an exam on Monday then may be you shouldn't party all Sunday's evening long but you should better have more time for yourself to study? And again make this planner very colourful and beautiful so planning your day and writing down the important information would become your favourite thing to do! :D

If planning your time is a really hard thing to do for you then you can ask your friends and family for help! You could ask them to always remind you about important things to do until you will do them. You can also make your own self enouraging/incentive system. For example you can promise yourself that you can go and buy yourself an ice-cream ONLY if you do your homework first. :)

And last but not least you always need a MOTIVATION! A prize for doing something isn't a motivation. You have to realize WHY you have to do things you do. If it's hard to be organised at your studies at school then think about that if you won't finish the school with good marks you might not get to university and might never receive a job of your dreams. Think about your MOTIVATION before starting doing something.

I hope this post will help at least a little!

Good luck at being organised and finding your motivation!

Real Young Liquid Concealer

  I think you already know that my favourite concealers are the concealers of Rimmel London but recenlty I've decided to try something new. And this is what happened.
  Real Young is a German brand of cosmetics for young girls mostly. It's not too pricey. I also think it's quite new because I haven't been noticing it before but this week I noticed it and decided to try their Liquid Concealer.
  I've bought mine in shade 01 Beige. It's not really my shade but all concealers of my shade were already bought and sometimes I like to use a little lighter concealer under my eyes so I bought this. :)

This is how it looks like.

This concealer doesn't give a 100 % coverage and it really dries skin. But if your skin isn't so much sensitive as mine and doesn't need that much coverage then it might be fine. :)

What is your favourite concealer?

Maybelline Baby Lips Cherry Me

 Recently I've bought another Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in shade Cherry Me. It has a pretty shade of red not that kind of red that is very bold or agressive but it's more like a hint for red and smells with cherry. :) It is very moisturising and I love wearing it every day. :) <3

This is how it looks like.

Red. :)

What is your favourite shade of Maybelline Baby Lips?

DIY Accessories

 Recently I've found one old album of mine on facebook. It's been so long ago that I have already forgoten that I had all these pictures of my handmade accessories which I made when I was at the age of 13/14 years old.
 I just decided to share these pictures with you. Maybe it will inspire you to do something creative yourself! I hope it will inspire you! :)

My handmade necklace of threads.

Handmade bows earrings and headband.

Lots of bracelets. Leather, threads, beads...

Handmade knitted gloves. :)

And last but not least a handmade leather wallet. It took me hours and hours to do it but I am satisfied with the resault. It's been with me for years and years and it still is in a good quality.

Tokyo City Restaurant

 Hi Everybody! :)
 Today I, my Mum and my sister decided to visit Tokyo City Restaurant at Terbatas street 2 in Riga. It is renovated and now looks lovely! Huge halls, comfy chairs, beautiful view in the windows, decor of bookshelves with books and also a lot of plants. Even bathrooms at this restaurant look great!

Food is delicious, too and not too pricey. :) The option also is HUGE. You can order almost any type of breakfast, sushi, pizzas, pastas,noodles, desserts and cocktails, tea, cofee and alcoholic drinks.

I ordered chicken fillet with cheese and greens in pancakes with a sauce. It tasted very good. 

For the dessert I had this beautiful strudel with chocolate, ice-cream and strawberries. :) (yummy)

And also I drank a very tasty tea called 7 samurais. It's so TASTY that I can even drink it without sugar. But unfortunately I can't find this tea in any other restaurants and shops.

 So, if you'll ever find yourself in Riga you should definately go to this restaurant, try 7 samurais tea and other dishes.

Lots of love,
