HELLO IN MAY 2020

It’s been such a long time 😄. My life has changed a lot since my last post. I graduated in November 2019 so I’m not longer a student… for now. I have plans to go back to college or at least do some additional courses. My last year of college was very difficult and stressful. Writing a dissertation and studying for my final exams was an actual nightmare.

I knew I don’t want to have an office job just yet. I wanted to gain some experience in something different. I decided to find a job in a shop. That’s what I’m doing at the moment and I think it was a very good decision.

I’m almost 23 when I’m writing this. I was supposed to get married on the 22nd of August 2020. We obviously had to move it to a different date because of what is happening in the world. It was a very sad decision but that’s the way it is.

The situation in Ireland isn’t too bad. People are doing what they are supposed to do. As a retail worker I took part in the worst panic buying stage and believe me it was a nightmare. It’s not as bad now but I feel like people are buying more to avoid leaving their house. We had such a beautiful weather over the last few weeks and it was very hard not to leave the house. I’m so grateful to have a garden because it seriously helped me a lot. I could just sit outside and forget about everything.

It’s very hard to live in Covid 19 times but I try to think positive and I’m 100% sure it will be over soon. It has to be. I really miss going to all kind of places and the fact I will not be able to go to Poland this year is just killing me. Stay safe 💕. See you soon xxx

BACK TO SCHOOL/COLLEGE: MY MUST HAVE LIST

Welcome back on my blog 🙂 Since the school season already started, I decided to do something like a ,,Must have list”.

This year I will be starting my last year of college. I’m kind of worried because this is the most important year and I really want to do my best. I have a list of things that help me with studying or to survive some classes. If you are interested keep reading 🙂

1. The most important thing for me is a journal. I got used to them when I was in secondary school and they really help ,not only when you are in school or college but also in every day life. I write everything in my journal. It helps me with planning and organisation especially during very busy times in my life.
2. Another thing will be to find a hobby or something that will help you to relax or to stop thinking about school/college work. In my opinion this is very important. When I have an exam I try to relax on my way to college. I usually like to read a book or listen to music. This helps me a lot and makes me less stressed even when I know that I’m not fully prepared for the exam because I had other things to do.
3. Another must have may be weird haha, but it helps me to be motivated to study and to actually go to classes 😛 In my case new and good stationary is seriously very important. I even have certain types of paper I like and I really don’t like when my copy is different than the one I usually buy haha. So yeah in my case good stationary is a must have :D.
4. I also have this one small problem. I can’t concentrate when it’s loud. I need to have a quiet place where I can do my work. If you are like me, I think it is important to have 2-3 places where you will sit and do your things. In my case I love doing my work in a library. Library is definitely my best friend 😛 .
5. My last must have is a good friend who is still in school/college. A lot of my friends are already working and many of them never went to college. It is important to have a friend who is in the same situation as you and will understand your problems. Many people think that college is fun, but the reality is different.  

I hope you like my post. Please stay with me longer and check out my Instagram 😉

See you soon :* :*

 

 

I’M BACK!! SMALL LIFE AND ERASMUS UPDATE…

Hello, I’m back 🙂 I’m finally at home, I finally finished my Erasmus, and I’m finally happy :D. I stopped writing on my blog because I did not feel well, I wanted to leave Burgos as soon as it was possible. It just wasn’t for me and my house mates were not helping me with my well-being.

I did my exams, I had to repeat one but my professor was very nice and she helped me a lot. The rest of my exams were very easy so I had no problem with doing them.

The only good thing I see about the Erasmus is that you actually have a chance to learn the language. When I came to Spain I thought that I have good level of Spanish, but I actually didn’t. I left Spain with a B1 certificate, I learned a lot of Spanish and I was able to communicate with people. I probably forgot some thing already, but I know that it will come back to my brain very fast.

Well… ok, there is another good thing about it. You get a chance to meet people from completely different cultures, which I think is super amazing. I became friends with people from Romania, Hungary, America, Italy, France and China. Wow! OK… I have friends from different countries here in Ireland but that was a different situation. Those people were in a similar situation as I was and understood me very well.

I spoke with many students in Spain and many of them said that they think exactly the same about this program as I do. Erasmus is seriously great but only if:

1. Your language level is very good. Otherwise you will not understand what is going on.
2. You like to party a lot.
3. You find good house mates. My experience in that topic is very bad!
4. You are open to people.
5. You have a lot of money

So yeah… I think I wrote enough and you will understand what I mean 🙂

I went to Poland for a while and it was the best thing I could do 🙂 I felt like I need to relax. I was very busy at the end of my Erasmus and I was very tired. I had an amazing time in Poland. Now I’m in Ireland with my fiance and my two cats :D. I’m not going on anything like Erasmus again. I’m finally happy where I’m. Only one month is left until my last year of college :O .

Anyways see you soon :*

MY FAVORITE LIQUID LIPSTICKS

Hello 🙂 Welcome back 🙂 Sorry for not being here for so long but I had a lot of issues with my subjects. I hope this was the last issue  and that I will not have anymore issues because I already had a lot. After a month of doing a subject called International Relations I got an email saying that this subject is not English friendly anymore ( as in I can’t do my exam in English). I got very stressed but everything is ok now and I hope I will finally be able to enjoy my Erasmus at least a little bit 🙂

Today I decided to talk a little bit about my favorite liquid lipsticks. I tried so many liquid lipsticks but it was so hard for me to find the perfects ones. Most of the liquid lipsticks that I tried did not stay long on my lips or made me feel very uncomfortable. The ones I `will talk about today are my favorite and I can’t stop using them :O

Trophy wife

The first lipstick I want to talk about is this lipstick from Huda Beauty. I very like this lipstick because it looks very nice on the lips, the pigmentation is very high and it stays in one place for a very long time. I got it as a Christmas present and it came with lip pencil and glitter lipgloss. You can see me wearing this lipstick on many of my pictures on my Instagram. I’m thinking about getting more colours 😀

I already talked about this lipstick but I seriously love it so much. I’m also thinking about getting more colours. I love how it feels on the lips and how creamy and light it is when you apply it. Some of the liquid lipsticks are very sticky when you apply them, this one feels very creamy and almost powdery. It’s very hard to explain but I think that you should definitely try it.

These ones are my favorite of all liquid lipsticks I have. I probably talked about them already but why not say it again 😛 This is a Polish brand called Golden Rose it slowly starting to be available in many other countries. These are around 25 zl which is around 5-6 euro. These lipsticks are very light and they stay on for a very long time. Sometimes I forget that I have a lipstick on my lips and few times I fell asleep with it. I seriously did not find a better lipstick. I have only 2 colours with me, because I left most of my make up in Poland. I will definitely get more when I go to Poland.

   Here you have all the colour swatches. The first two colours are lipsticks from Golden Rose, then Huda Beauty and the last one is from Bourjois.

Hope you like my today’s post. Don’t forget to follow me here to see all the future posts, and also check out my Instagram where I post more often 😉 See you soon :*

WHAT DO I MISS THE MOST ?

Hello welcome back on my blog 🙂 I will talk about things that I miss the most 😦 There are things that I miss a lot and there are things that I can live without. Living abroad on your own may be very difficult especially if you like to spend time with your family. Even if you meet a lot of new people you will never be as close with them as with  your family member.

The first thing that I miss is definitely talking and drinking tea/coffee with my mum. We always sit and talk together and drink a hot drink. We are very busy and we don’t have a lot of free time so it is very important for me to spend as much time as I can with my mum. We talk on the phone almost everyday but you know… it’s not the same.

I miss my cats a lot! My cats are very important to me. They are like my little children especially Negra. She helped me many times when I didn’t feel well. She is my little best friend 🙂 I miss her a lot. She always makes my feel better.

I wish I could understand everyone. It’s very hard to understand most people here. Many people have different accents. It’s very hard especially when people speak fast.

I miss Polish TV haha 😛 Yes, I miss Polish television 😀 I don’t really watch TV but I still miss it. Sometimes there are very interesting programs  and I like to watch them. Here I don’t even have Spanish TV haha.

I miss my comfortable bed and my bedroom. The bed that I have here is very uncomfortable. My back is very sore. It was very hard to get used to it and I did not sleep well for the first few days. I still have problems with falling asleep. I miss my cozy bedroom. I always light up candles and the whole room smells very nice. The room that I have is very big. I think it’s too big for me and I don’t like it because it’s very dark.

I miss having a normal view from my window. Sometimes when I wake up I would love to look out the window and see something different than a wall and someone else’s windows. It is very annoying because I never know what kind of weather is outside.

I also miss some kinds of food. I don’t really like Spanish food. It has no taste for me or maybe I tried in the wrong place.

That’s all for today hope you liked my post 🙂 Go check out my Instagram 🙂 and follow me here if you want more :* See you soon 🙂

ONE MONTH IN SPAIN- LIFE UPDATE

Hello 🙂 I decided to give you small life update on how are things now. I did a post one week after I arrived. I was very depressed and stressed back then because a lot of the things were very unclear and I had no idea what will I be doing here. I had to change my way of thinking from negative to more positive. It wasn’t easy and it took me a very long time. I still want to go back home because I miss my family a lot.

When I came here my way of thinking was very negative. I was ready to pack all my things and go back. I knew that I can’t do that but I had that idea at the back of my head. I did not understand anyone which was the most annoying thing, they spoke too fast so in many cases I just pretended that I understand them. I was sitting in my room and sometimes I cried and  I was trying to explain to myself that the time will fly fast. I still want to go home, but my Spanish improved a lot. I understand more and I can say more. I’m making mistakes but I don’t really care because it’s part of learning. Now when I want the time to fly faster I listen to music, read or write my blog. I’m only listening to Cleo and Poparzeni Kawa Trzy. They are Polish artists that help me here a lot. It’s the type of music that you listen to  when you feel sad. They are two different types of music but it’s very hard to explain my music taste 😛  I’m not as depressed and stressed as I was at the start but there are days when I just want to lay in the bed and cry. I think everyone has those days.

When it comes to university life here it’s very stressful for Erasmus people, especially if your Spanish is not very good. I have 2 English friendly subjects, one in English and 2 in Spanish. It’s very hard to do my notes sometimes, especially if I only understand some of the teachers. I have to find most of the information by myself. I’m happy that I will be able to do three of my exams in English. It’s much harder for the Erasmus people here than in Ireland. I feel like Erasmus students get more help in Ireland than here. I got used to it now but at first it was hard. I usually do my notes in English so it’s easier.

At the start it was very hard for me to get used to living with people who like a lot of noice. I’m a person who likes to sit in a quiet place with a book or laptop. I live with Spanish students, for them it’s normal to have a loud party in the middle of the week. I had small issues with them but I think that everything will be OK now. I’m the oldest one here, they probably think that I’m old boring granny haha 😀 But I don’t care.

I think I feel more comfortable here now. I still can’t say that this is my house and I still didn’t unpack some of my things. I still need time. I noticed that the time flays very fast so it’s much easier for me now. I just can’t wait for summer because some big changes are coming up 😀 I hope you liked my post 🙂 Don’t forget to follow me if you want more, I also have Instagram where I post more often 😀 See you soon :*
