Movies of the future

Hola everyone.

As all of you know I’m a huuuuuge fan of movies. They are my hobby, to be honest. And one part of this special hobby is checking for new trailers every week. And then I make a list i my head of movies I’m excited to see in the next few month or the next year.

Unfortunately movies in my country come out pretty late. For example Finding Dory was in the cinemas in the USA in summer and it’s now playing in my country. So yes, pretty pretty late. So it might be that when you’re from the USA, that I’m excited to watch a movie you’ve already seen. Quite a crazy thought too, isn’t it?

Anyways, I was thinking it would be cool to tell you my list of movies I’m excited to watch in the future. Enjoy.

Pretty much any Marvel movie that’s coming
Fantastic Beats and Where To Find Them (and any other Harry Potter related movie)
The Edge Of Seventeen (it’s a funny and sarcastic movie about being a teenager, so perfect for me)
Rules Don’t Apply (I love Lily Collins so this one is a must for me)
The Bye Bye Man (another pretty thrilling looking horror movie. I. Can’t. Wait.)
Passengers (I have a special place in my heart for good Sci-Fi movies and this one is one of those)
Beauty and The Beast (c’mon, it’s a Disney movie, of course I have to watch it)
A Cure For Wellness (I watched this trailer a few days ago, I have no idea what the movie is about but it looks fascinating so I’d really to see this one; and it features Dane DeHaan so that’s a plus)
Transformers – The Last Knight (I’m completely in love with Transformers, so I just HAVE to see this movie)
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (I seriously can’t wait to see this movie, seriously)
The Founder (this movie is about how McDonalds got popular and was founded, so this is reallyyyy interesting for me)
The Space Between Us (I know this movie since a few months and I can’t wait to watch, for real. I think the story is so fascinating and interesting and I really like the actors, so yeah, I’m excited)
Any upcoming horror movie
About Ray (this movie is really special and discusses the topic of gender variance and how it feels to live in the wrong body, I really want to watch it)

So, there you go. Those are the movies I’m mostly looking forward to. It could be that I forgot some, but hey, the list is already long enough, right? Oh, please feel free to chat with me, maybe some of you are looking forward to the same movies as me. And until then, I really hope you enjoyed this post and my list and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Huge haul

Hola everyone.

The day has finally come. I know I promised to post this already weeks ago but somehow I never got the time to finally do it, but know I did. Hallelujah.

So as you know I was in England for a week with my mum in August – Brighton and Reading – and then I visited my friend Mati in Croatia. And of course I had to go shopping, how couldn’t I? The shopping list started with some clothing pieces and went on and on until it ended with books and some special accessories. So I would like to show my precious purchases to all of you guys. Enjoy.

Clothes

Okay, actually it’s more like just tops, precisely one t-shirt – the most important piece of the whole haul – and four sweaters. But hey, autumn has already arrived and winter is coming and I have to be prepared.

Right now I’m completely obsessed with the sweaters they sell at Pull and Bear. They are just so comfy and big. The perfect size for being a nice oversize sweater I want to stay in forever. And it fits perfectly and looks just perfect. And besides that they all have some cool embroidered messages on them which make them even more amazing. The first one I bought was in Brighton. I just had to. Mostly because of it’s writing that says “Nobody cares if you don’t go to the party”, which is just so damn relatable and true. I’ve always been that one person that doesn’t go to parties, even though all the others did and called me boring. Because I simply didn’t care t all. That’s why the sweater is a perfect match for me. It emphasizes my lifestyle and the person I am.

The second one I bought was in Zagreb. It’s exactly the same one as the first one, just in a green color and with the Harry Potter related writing saying “I’m busy making a potion”. And let’s be honest, everything that’s Harry Potter related is just pure awesomeness. On the same day I also bought my really special rainbow sweater. I j´saw that one at Pull and Bear and just wanted it to be mine. Not just because it looks freaking amazing, but also because it’s my way of telling the world that I support the LGBT+ community. Most people will just look at me wearing it and see a cool rainbow sweater, but for me it’s my kind of support. And I love that.

The last sweater I bought is some kind of flattery poof black crop top volant type of thing. I bought it at Zara in Reading. Actually I just wanted to try it on and see how it looks but then I stayed it in the whole time when my mum was trying on other things. And that pretty much meant that I would keep it. That’s my thing. If I try something on and keep it on until I have to leave the changing rooms, it’s practically mine. There’s no other way out. And that was the case with this top.

And now the most important piece. My precious. You know that I love Fall Out Boy. And I finally got to see them live at Reading festival. And you know that I love band merch. I always buy one t-shirt whenever I’m attending a concert. And you probably guessed it by now – of course I had to buy a FOB t-shirt. And it’s seriously one of the most valuable pieces of clothing in my whole wardrobe. Because it has such a huge meaning for me. And besides that it just looks freaking cool. I mean, look it at. They band is cool, the shirt is cool, everything about this is unbelievably cool and amazing and perfect. And I love it. With all of my heart.

Other stuff

Now that we all know that clothes are not the real thing on their own, of course I had to buy some other stuff. The first thing on my list were books. I’ve been obsessed with reading good books lately, so I flew over to England with my list of books I wanted to buy and thankfully I did get all of them.

I bought:

This Modern Love by Will Darbyshire
When We Collided by Emery Lord
Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon
The Potion Diaries by Amy Alward
Harry Potter And The Cursed Child by J. K. Rowling

I read the Harry Potter one right after we bought it, I just had to. And by the way, it’s amazing. And currently I’m reading When We Collided which is also really really awesome. I can highly recommend it. And all the others too, of course.

Besides that we also bought some other things. When mum and me were strolling around in town in Brighton we walked past a painting pottery cafe which I recognized from one of Marzias blogs (Pewdiepies girlfriend). So of course we had to walk in and the next day we went back to actually paint some pottery. I chose to paint a heart, write Brighton on it and paint some flowers and other stuff on it so it would look nice. And I have to say I really enjoyed it, I loved it to be honest. It was so relaxing and it reminded me of how much I love art and painting. And on the last day which was also the next one I got my finished heart back, which was supercool and so nice of them because I told them that we would leave on this day so they finished it extra fast for me. The heart is now hanging on my wall and I look at it and it places a smile of my face every time.

And when we were at Reading festival I also bought some badges for my bags and other things. That’s like another one of my traditions, I started it when we attended Sziget festival last year. And now even my mum has a badge on her bag. Our stuff is like a display for all the experiences we’ve made. Oh and we also bought three sings, one for mums office, one for our whole family and one for my room. Going shopping in Brighton is really amazing and fascinating, because there are so many vintage shops and little shops that sell stuff you’d never get in conventional stores. And I really love that.

So, there you go. Those are the things I bought in the past two months, some in the UK, some in Croatia. But all of them are amazing and totally lovely. If any of you want to chat about shopping or anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoy this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Awesome new music

Hola everyone.

The day has come. The time is here. Two Door Cinema Club AND Kings of Leon have both released their new albums after waiting for what felt like ages. And of course I need to talk about them. With you. Now.

.
You probably guessed it. And yes, I have indeed already bought both albums. And of course right when they got released, I just had to. And I can tell you, they are both breathtakingly amazing. But first things first, let’s go through album by album.

.
Gameshow by Two Door Cinema Club

If you are a fan of this band, you probably had to go through a tough time, waiting for them to release new music, missing them when they were on their break. And now they are FINALLY back. Thank god. The album itself is a masterpiece, but certainly not for the “old” TDCC fans. Because this album certainly is a change. Less guitars, more beats. Less drums, more syhntic sounds. The whole album feels like a ride back to disco music from the 80s or 90s. But it kind of really fits.

.
Honestly, I was a little bit disappointed at first but the more you listen to the songs, the more you get into them. And I can actually see them on stage, turning the disco songs into cool indie pop with their still so well beloved guitars.

.
Overall the album is a huge change, but a good one. There are songs that are more on the funky side but also some for people who would rather stick to the guitar indie pop, like their song Gameshow. I think that every single indie fan should reallyyyy give this album a listen, you won’t regret. And I can just tell you, I’ve been listening to the album every day since it came out and it makes me more and more excited for their upcoming tour and the day I’ll get to hear all the amazing new songs live.

.
In short:

Album overall: amazing new funky sound but definitely a change – in a good way of course
My favorite songs: Gameshow and Sucker (this one really gives you a cool Halloween spook vibe)

WALLS by Kings of Leon

Let’s be honest, KOL have always been an amazing band. But this album right there is a whole other thing. Like I said to my friend, the album is a revelation. Every single song is better than the other one, which just adds to its awesomeness.

.
Actually, I think that is album is also a huge change for this band. It has more of a indie and relaxed vibe to it. So it’s perfect it you just want to chill and listen to some really freaking awesome music. Personally, I like the change from rock to more indie, but I guess that some people might not. But hey, you can never satify everyone.

.
Overall, I think the album is really really amazing and also their best one so far. There are more upbeat songs and also some that are more laid back. But every single one is great and Caleb’s voice is the highlight, for real. So I can just highly recommend it to all of you.

In short:

The album overall: also a new sound but a really amazing one, full of awesome lyrics, beats and sounds
My favorite songs: Waste A Moment, All Around The World, Find Me

So guys, there you go. Two amazing albums, two great chances to here some new music and my overall opinion. Honestly, I love both bands with all of my heart and I can’t wait to hear and see them live again. And I can just recommend them to all of you. If any of you have already listened to the album or want to chat about anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Autumn is here

Hola everyone.

Today was one of this beautiful autumn days – the sun was shining the whole day, but it was still cold as hell. And of course I had to make the most of it and went for a little stroll in my garden together with Peaches and my camera, right when the sun was setting. And the day and our garden actually gifted me with one of the nicest settings ever. But I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy. Also check out Peaches. She’s such a model.

Oh and of course, as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and my pictures and thanks for reading. x

Me-time and de-stressing

Hola everyone.

Today I want to talk about something that should be important for everybody and that really means a lot to me, actually. And yes, you guessed it – I’m talking about ways I de-stress and relax and calm myself down. Actually, Zoella again inspired me to do this post. I wanted to write this one for weeks now, but watching her lastest video (link) really pushed me to finally do it. So, here we go.

Nowadays, I think it’s honestly really hard to completely switch off and de-stress, mostly because being online and just basically on surrounds and follows us the whole day and, for most of us, night too. I mean, I know, smartphones and tv shows and movies and the social media are all gifts from heaven, but sometimes, especially smartphones, have nothing than a bad impact on us. Personally, I try to not have my phone next to me the whole day, for example I turn it off at night and keep it in another room. I actually can’t sleep if my phone is in the same room when I go to sleep. And sometimes I even have a day off from my phone. I just don’t turn it on at all and I have to say, it really relaxes me a lot. And yes, you seriously have more time for other things if you don’t waste it being online all the time and reading a Facebook feed for the third time.

Oh and of course, today, stress is something normal for most of us. There’s always something to do and I think that for some people, it’s really difficult to separate themselves from all the do-do-lists and work and stress, which is also a reason I wanted to write this post. So, let’s get to the most important part, which is my ways of de-stressing and winding down and getting some me-time.

Taking a bath
- This is actually one of the most important things for me if I want to relax, because I can literally wash all of the stress of the day off and clean my mind. And also, who doesn’t love soaking a little bit and lying in some nice warm water before going to bed. It really gets you in that chilly and sleepy mood.

Going for a walk with Molly or going for a short run
- I think that any physical activity can help you de-stress and clean your mind. I especially love going for a run when I’m angry or when I have the feeling that I’ll explode any time. And getting some fresh air at all just really gets me down.

Taking some photographs
- You know how much my camera means to me and since I got it, taking pictures became a really important part of my life and one of my biggest and most important and intense hobbies. And I noticed how walking around with my camera and taking some nice pictures really calms me down, because I fully concentrate one this one thing and everything else just fades away.

Cuddling with Peaches
- I think that pets are really important if you want to live a happy life. Especially when it comes to me and Peaches, we really have a special bond and basically stick together all the time. The past week my day started with a huge cuddle session with Peaches and actually there aren’t a lot of things that relax me as much as holding Peaches in ma arms and hearing her purr.

Cooking or baking something
- Food. What else gets you relaxed if food doesn’t? I don’t really know how it happened but through time cooking and baking became a really important hobby of mine and I just love it. Taking raw products and turning them into something delicious. I especially love meals that just get you into this cozy and warm mood, like pasta, stew or a nice soup. And eating all that good stuff afterwards is just the most amazing part, let’s be honest.

Watching a good movie or tv series
- Movies and tv series just really mean a lot to me, you know that. But I think when I want to forget about my problems or all of the stress, watching a nice movie or a good tv series really gets me down and makes me forget about everything else. Except when I have to really finish college stuff or study for an exam, then watching a movie just makes everything worse. Because I won’t feel any better before I don’t finish it all.

Reading a book or listening to music
- I think that especially listening to music and doing nothing while doing that and reading a good book really helps me relax and wind down before going to bed. Both, books and music really do mean a lot to me and help me de-stress is just a really nice bonus.

Talking to my friends or family
- To be honest, talking to someone about all the things that stress me out and make me nervous, really helps me a lot. Or even talking to you guys about it really helps me. Because it gets all the stuff off of my mind and that’s just amazing.

Sleeping
- Actually, there’s nothing to add to this. Just sleep. That’s pretty much the best way to relax. So please, try to get a good sleep every night, it really helps.

So guys, there you go. Those are my ways of relaxing and winding down and getting some me-time. I hope I could help you guys with some of my tips and also, maybe some of you do the same to relax, which is awesome. Oh and if any of you want to talk to me about de-stressing or anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

My special friend

Hola everyone.

I’m baaaaack. And as promised, today I’d like to tell you a really special story about a really special friend of mine. You know, today, it’s possible to have friends all around the world. And lucky me, I have my own. Her name is Mati.

I met Mati three years ago, she was actually the one who started something that should become a close and special and amazing friendship. Actually, it was the Belieber connection that brought us together. Because she texted me about the JB concert over on Twitter, which we surprisingly both had visited. She asked me if I had taken some pics and would like to exchange some. We started chatting, soon exchanged phone numbers and here we are, three years later, still going strong and texting everyday (thanks to WhatsApp).

I often thought how could it would be to have a friend in another country. Because it seemed so extraordinary and special to me. And now I have Mati. The first time we met in person was one year after our first chat and it was seriously one of the best moments in my life. To finally see her live, be able to hug her, talk to her and show her my hometown and introduce her to my friends and my family. And I have to say, it was was just wonderful.

Since then she visited me another time and as you guys know, last weekend I visited her in Croatia for the first time. I was sooooo excited and it was so freaking awesome. I felt like I was on a holiday trip, for real. Mostly because everyone was so chilled and nice and they all welcomed me so nicely. And I mean, it’s for sure not normal. I felt like I was one of her family members and I’m so thankful for that.

Honestly, I can’t describe how happy I am that I have Mati in my life and I really hope that we’ll be one of the cool grannies who chat all the time and laugh about stupid things when we’re old and grey. I think that it’s amazing how social networks bring us all closer together. Sometimes people think that it’s weird when I tell them about having a friend in another country, but I don’t care at all, to be honest. And I’m pretty sure that most of you guys have already met a lot of people on the internet, so yey to having friends all over the world.

So, there you go. This is my special story about a special friendship. If any of you guys want to talk about friendships or anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Oh and here are some pics I took on my trip with Mati. Enjoy.
