Do you know what all of these photos have in common? All of them feature some of my favorite clothing items that I have worn time and time again. As I have said numerous times on my blog, I have strived for creating a more …
Last week marked one year since the Covid restrictions were imposed for the first time in Bulgaria. I can still remember 13 March 2020 (Friday) extremely vividly – we had our first Covid case a week earlier and the nervousness around us could be felt …

Every year I try to add a little touch to the gifts that I will be giving to my family and friends. Usually, these things are small additions (like Christmas decorations or wrapping elements) that I make myself. For example, a few years ago I …
