25 Questions Tag

Danes sem imela v planu napisati oceno Makeup Revolution izdelkov, pa se kar nisem in nisem spravila k pisanju. Nič ni pomagalo tudi to, da so vse fotografije swatchev izgledale čudno. Zato sem se odločila, da napišem nekaj drugačnega in odgovorim na 25 splošnih vprašanj, glede na to, da me večina ne pozna prav dobro. Upam, da vam bo objava všeč! :)

Mimogrede, vprašanja so v angleščini in se mi jih ni ljubilo prevajati, zato sem tudi odgovore napisala v angleščini.

1. What is your middle name? Lazy. No, just kidding. I don't have a middle name.

2. What was favourite subject at school? English. Both in elementary and in high school.

3. What is your favourite drink? Does coffee count? :) If we're talking about alcoholic drinks I would have to say Aperol spritz or Cosmopolitan.

4. What is your favourite song at the moment? I find a new favourite every day. At the moment I'm listening to George Ezra - Budapest so that's gonna be my choice for today. :)

5. What is your favourite food? Pizza. No doubts here, hehe.

6. What is the last thing you bought? A blending brush, lip liner and highligher pen. All by Essence.

7. Favourite book of all time? I just can't answer that. I can give you a long list of good books but not a favourite one.

8. Favourite Colour? Grey, pale pink, beige and variations/combos of those colours.

9. Do you have any pets? Not anymore, but I had two pet rats (Rozi and Vreni) that passed away last September. :(

10. Favourite perfume? At the moment J'adore by Dior.

11. Favourite holiday? Rovinj in the summer with my dear.

12. Are you married? No.

13. Have you ever been out of the country, if so how many times? Yes, many times. I've been to Croatia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Greece, Spain (well just the island of Tenerife) and United States (New York).

14. Do you speak any other language? I speak Slovenian, English and Italian language.

15. How many siblings do you have? None.

16. What is your favourite shop? Um, I don't have a favourite shop, I really liked Urban Outfiters when I was in New York but we don't have anything similar here in Slovenia. Oh, and of course Ikea. :)

17. Favourite restaurant? I'm gonna rename these "favourites" in "top 3" and make my life easier. My top 3 restaurants in Ljubljana are Sushimama, Tabar and Čompa. Yum. :)

18. When was the last time you cried? I can't remember and I like it that way. :)

19. Favourite blog? I'm gonna do a top 3 here too: Adjusting Beauty, Small Bits Of Loveliness and Mateja's beauty blog in no particular order.

20. Favourite movie? This is just like a favourite book, I see so many good movies that I can't decide. I'm gonna go with 3 of my favourite horror movies: Shutter (2004), Dawn of the dead (2004) and Psycho (1960). You can see 3 totally different styles of movies (asian horror, zombie horror, classic horror) here and I'm a fan of all of them. I'm creepy, I know. :)

21. Favourite TV show? At the moment The walking dead, I would just add two classics that I think everyone should see: Friends and Seinfeld. 

22. PC or Mac? PC. Not that I would say no to a Macbook. ;)

23. What phone do you have? HTC Desire X.

24. How tall are you? 165cm.

25. Can you cook? Yes. I enjoy cooking very much.

To je torej nekaj malega o meni. Če so vam vprašanja zanimiva, jih lahko uporabite in na njih odgovorite tudi sami. Če pa vas zanima še karkoli drugega o meni, bom vesela vprašanj v komentarjih. Spodaj pa še ena moja fotografija, samo toliko, da vam pokažem zgoraj omenjeni lip liner od Essence v odtenku 06 a girl's dream. A ni čudovite barve? :)

Eating in NYC

Kako naj strnem v eno objavo šestnajst nepozabnih dni v New Yorku? Težko.

Pred skoraj tremi tedni sem se vrnila iz prvega potovanja čez lužo in Ljubljana je kar naenkrat postala sivo in tiho mesto. Morda se sliši grdo, ampak v dveh tednih se ravno navadiš na konstanten hrup, zavijanje siren, ogromne osvetljene plakate, neverjetno gnečo in na splošno, na samo velikost mesta in stavb. Sprememba je resnično šokantna in prvih nekaj dni v New Yorku sem doživljala v pospešenem posnetku, vse okrog mene se je odvijalo veliko prehitro. Sama velikost in utrip mesta te izčrpata - pešačenje dobi popolnoma drug pomen kot v Ljubljani, kjer je praktično vse 15 minut hoje stran in karta za podzemno je v New Yorku obvezna, če si želiš resnično ogledati mesto. Ampak ne razumite me narobe, uživala sem vsako minuto! Želela sem samo prikazati kako takšno mesto izgleda skozi oči nekoga, ki živi v državi, ki ima eno četrtino prebivalcev New Yorka. Kakorkoli že, po enem tednu sem bila popolnoma zasvojena. Z mestom, s hrano, s tem, da lahko dobiš praktično karkoli tudi sredi noči in po možnosti za vogalom. Komaj čakam, da se vrnem! :) 

Prvi del fotografij iz New Yorka (definitivno pridejo še ostale) je posvečen hrani, ki je bila velik del tega potovanja. S fantom se namreč navdušujeva nad različno azijsko hrano, ki pa je pri nas pogosto premalo avtentična ali pa predraga. Mislim da se iz fotografij krasno razbere, da sva si dala duška na tem področju, poskusila sva tudi marsikaj drugega. Vsega seveda ni na fotografijah, saj je bila velikokrat lakota prehuda. :)

(ramen - najboljša hrana na svetu, sploh za zimske dni)

(še enkrat ramen - smo šli testirat konkurenco, ampak zgornji zmaga)

(humus - z gobicami, fižolom, tahinijem in čičeriko in najboljši pita kruh!)

(mini baklave - s pistacijami in na tri različne načine, bile so odlične)

(pho - vietnamska juhica, ki je po okusu precej podobna naši goveji)

(spicy tuna rolls - sem obsedena z njimi, in tile so bili najboljši, kar sem jih poskusila)

(sušiii - tu smo bili dvakrat v treh dneh, mislim da to pove vse)

(ebi tempura udon - mislim, da se zdaj že vidi vzorec mojega navdušenja nad azijskimi juhami)

(pork belly udon - zadnja iz zbirke juhic, obljubim)

(za konec pa še en klasičen ameriški zajtrk, odlične palačinke s sadjem in javorjevim sirupom)

Simple dinner

No, I'm not dead. :) I know I'm a lazy *beep* when it comes to blogging, but no worries, I have loads of excuses. Firstly, let me just mention the warm weather (coffee in the sun? -yes please, everyday!), then I went to (the beautiful and warm) Tenerife for one week, me and my dear are also renovating our little "balcony" (it's just a small room, because it's a closed balcony, but it will be sooo pretty when it's done - pictures are coming) and last but not least: I have an exam tomorrow (yes, on a Saturday), so I've been a busy bee. :)

Enough with the excuses, let me show you what I cooked for dinner two days ago:

Prawns with eggs, carrots and spring onion

Recipe:

For 2 people: 300g of prawns, 1 large carrot (grated), 3-4 eggs (beaten), 3 spring onions (finely sliced), 2 tbsp of soy sauce, a pinch of chinese 5 spice powder, peanut oil

Heat the peanut oil in a wok, add the grated carrots and half of the spring onions, stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add beaten eggs and stir-fry for another minute. Add prawns, soy sauce and chinese 5 spice powder. Stir-fry for around 5 minutes or until the prawns are red. Serve with the rest of the fresh spring onions. :)

This is becoming one of my favorite recipes for dinner. It's just so easy to make and sooo delicious. Also, you can use any vegetable you want (chinese cabbage, mushrooms, ...) and if you're not a fan of soy sauce or exotic spices, a pinch of salt and pepper would work just fine.

My kinda Valentine's day

I'm not a fan of classic Valentine's day with cutesy and over the top gifts, all the hearts, flowers and I LOVE YOU cards. But after seeing all the posts about Valentine's day I just had to do it too. :) I don't know yet if I'm gonna do anything on Friday, but in case I do - here's the plan. My Valentine's day will be simple: good food, good alcohol and a few details. I'm planning to do sushi for quite some time now and I think it's a perfect food for a romantic dinner for two. A very simple, but beautiful dessert is a cupcake/muffin with strawberries. As for the drinks, sparkling rosé is one of my favorites and also very day appropriate (maybe not Moët, haha). With the Valentine's day themed details I wouldn't go too far; something very subtle like rose (or red) lipstick, nail polish and a sweet/floral perfume. If I have to choose a gift for me, it would be a book. :)
