Instant Happiness (:

Nail polish. I love it. It’s like my “boyfriend”. I’m really happy when I wear it , funny isn’t it (?) how such a simple thing can make your day brighter and better. But I got to confess I don’t like the witchy-long-nails, I mean seriously they freak the hell out of me.

Music. I’m obsessed. I really love music. I’m the pop-rock-country freak. I really love to press the repeat button whenever I listen to a good song. And to me there is no such a thing as “old songs”.

Reading. I’m like the little girl in “Matilda”: I love books and I remember when I was 9 I would read the same books as my teacher back then. And a lot of my close friends who HATE everything that looks close to a book became bookworms because of ehum...me. Pretty awesome. So people read (good) books.

Flowers. Who doesn’t love them?! When I walk into the flower shop I forget about all the bad things (such as war) and problems because of the beauty of the flowers and the kindness of the old lady who sells them with her beautiful life stories.

Good movies. Whenever I feel down I always like to watch “feel-good-movies”. You know, the kind of when the girl meets her prince in the end and lives out her dreams.

Ice-cream. It’s like medicine for me, whenever I have issues or when my world caves in. It heals the pain.

Friends&Family. They mean everything to me! They’re like the best thing in the world. I really love you guys!

Jewelry. I really enjoy buying jewelry. I feel like jewelry makes me complete, it would be really weird if I wouldn’t wear jewelry.

Writing. Writing songs, writing stories for my blog and writing in my diary even writing text messages, it makes me so happy to be able to write down what’s going on in my brain. Because I got to be honest I am more honest and I feel more comfortable when I write. I’m not good at expressing my feelings so I rather WRITE it down ;).

Sparks&Glitter. I love everything that sparkles and looks like it’s from some Disney movie. Like Cinderella’s shoes, beautiful chandeliers and somehow I always keep staring at fire. It’s hypnotizing.

Singing/acting. I sing everywhere and like all the time. I can get really depressed if I can’t sing because it’s my passion. To me it’s breathing. And acting I just love to be on the stage and do my own thing. Applause is like the best present you can give me.

Laughter. I’m a very bubbly person. At least that’s what everyone tells me. All the time. I really love to laugh. Every day. Because there ain’t no point of living if you have nothing you can smile or laugh about.

Beautiful people. No not talking about Barbie or that smokin’ hot guy from school, but people who are beautiful on the inside. People who make this world a better place. Like my granda, or my best friend who is always there for me –Thank you B!- or that girl on her bike who smiled back.

Stars. I love making wishes on stars and lying in my back garden with my friends and counting them.

Pouring rain. I love to walk under the rain, it feels like I’m flying ehum… swimming.

Cute. If I really like something I call it cute. Even if I’m talking about socks (: It’s my favorite word.

Dresses. I feel like I'm seven again when I wear them.

Hugs. I love to give hugs and it makes me feel like I’m save and “home”.

Much Love,

 Mina.

Gleelicious!

Ever had a disaster bad-hair-day? Of course you did, at least that’s what I hope because it would really suck if I was the only one who has them. Every day (kidding lol).

So… did I tell you guys that I asked my music teacher to start a glee club (?) and I have a sort of appointment this Tuesday and I’m freaking really exited!

Ok, for those who don’t know what glee is it’s a school club where the kids sing and dance: show quire (;

Ok, ok I admit I’m a gleek and I'm proud! But if you start watching you’ll really like it! I remember the first time I heard about and I was like “no thanks”. And I kind of fell in love from the first episode…

And I know the whole if- you-are-in-a-school-club-you-are-a-loser-story but who the hell cares? I mean seriously? The popular kids kind of suck when it comes to being an original. I can bet they all want to join the club but they don’t have the guts, because they’re scared that people will “judge” them. Well, they can laugh as much as they want but I’m going to do my own thing.

I seriously can’t wait! We have so much talented kids in school and I really hope that it will work out. And that people actually will be willing to join the club, I would really get depressed if there would be only 2 members or something like that.

But, got to stay positive and kind of pray that it’ll be all right. Pray. Like every day.   

Wish me luck! (;

Hair Drama

Today I got a new haircut! I know everyone will kill me tomorrow but hey it’s my hair! :P

You should’ve seen my mom’s face when I told her I wanted to cut my hair. Again. She was like oh no not the cut-my-hair-or-I-will-die- attitude. My hairdresser is actually the only one who can live with the fact that I cut my hair. Probably because he gets paid for it… (kidding, he's just very cool)

All of my friends have super long hair and it’s pretty and everything but honestly to me long hair is a disaster. I’m happier with short hair, so yea learn to live with it.

Oh god they will definitely kill me tomorrow, every time I cut my hair my friends get really depressed. Because my friends are Rapunzels and I’m (there is no princess with short hair damn, oh wait Snow White ;D) kind of ruining the picture.

I should really get over myself. Anyway I’m really happy with it although my hair is all curly right now because it hates me (kidding, I didn’t straight my hair). 

Before:

it kind of looked like this but longer, so it wasn't that pretty ;)

Between:

After:

Much love,

The fashion Bible: necklaces

PS:Long necklaces flatter "little" girls/women because they create a long vertical line, which make us look taller (;

Crap advice! (:

 I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing. I don’t even know if I’m being the right person. Ok now I definitely sound like a psycho. I’m just tired of everybody expecting something from me.

Every single time someone gives me advice I feel like doing something really stupid to make them shut up. The whole I-care-about-you-that’s-why-I’m-telling-you-what-to-do attitude is really getting on my nerves.

Isn’t it funny how people are trying to change you into something they want you to be, like you’re some Barbie doll with no opinion. Or how people start being sarcastic while they aren’t perfect either. Mostly the bitchy-I-own-the-world-people have issues and they’re trying to make someone else feel bad so they can be happy again. Great.

But I honestly wonder why I’m being so polite to these people? Well, at least I know one thing for sure: next time someone will try to give me some “good” advice I’ll tell them to back off, get a life and get gone.

"I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing exactly the opposite."~G. K. Chesterton  (that dude was SO talking about me)

Much love,

Mina.

Enchanted

Last autumn I met this really sweet guy on a party. He came in the room and suddenly everyone was staring at him. He had this class, like when you see someone for the first time and you’re enchanted.

I remember him dancing with the prettiest girls in the room. I also remember my girls talking about him like he was some Prince and when I said: “ what’s so special about him, I don’t get what girls see in him?!”. And when I say that dear readers, it’s for sure I have fallen for the guy without even knowing it.

And on my way home I was dreaming away. So when I came home I couldn’t sleep although I was exhausted. And I played “Enchanted” the whole night home. That song describes every detail of that perfect night.

Much Love,

Mina 

Gerda & Kay

Today I was watching this TV show about a little six years old girl who wanted to help her deaf best friend by reading poems to win a TV show, something like “America’s got talent” but then the Ukraine version of it.

It touched me and everyone in the studio. It reminded me of Christian Anderson’s fairytale about the snow queen when a little boy’s heart was “frozen” and his best friend Gerda helped him to “feel” again. Sometimes I feel like Mister Anderson wrote that tale about me, because I'm a believer just as Gerda is in the tale.

And today the rest of the world saw that there are still little girls in this world who help their friends to be happy and to believe again.

Fairytales do come true, all you have to do is believe just like that little girl did... 

Much love,

What makes you different, makes you beautiful (:

So last Friday I walked in with a draw on my face and everyone was staring at me like wtf? there was one bitch laughing and the rest of the day I only heard compliments. Funny how I kind of knew people would act weird but there was only one who actually laughed. Hard. “ Next time you point a finger I’ll point you to the mirror!”

And the people I didn’t expect to like the look were the most positive. Guess I made a statement in school, because all the kids are the same. And I was being something completely different. And you know for the first time in my life I felt beautiful AND comfortable with myself. Not that I  feel ugly and misunderstood although we all have those moments in life when everything sucks, but if you REALLY dare to be who you are you kind of feel perfect.

And I think I do understand now what perfection is and what beauty is, it’s YOU being YOURSELF. And for me that’s me being different and I kind of am proud that I always had the guts to be me no matter what…

It kind of looked like this, but green(er)
PS: Love this movie so much!! (;

PS: My favourite stores for simple rings are: Bijou Brigitte, Claire's, Accessoirize and Forever 21 (;  

Skipping School

Yesterday I felt kind of sick in the morning so I didn’t wanted to go to school but because I had a test I did go (I’m such a good girl!). So after lunch I kind of didn’t want to go back and went shopping with a friend (there goes my “good girl” part lol). I bought a lot of jewelry and make-up (did I tell you I’m OBSESSED with jewelry?) and saw my prince charming twice. We had lots of fun and you know, I always love to see that people from abroad come shopping in the city where I live my city is extremely awesome.

Ok I have to confess that I kind of felt guilty when I came home like I was some criminal. But hey, we all deserve a (half) day off!

I bought this amazing ring in Bijou Brigitte it’s like my favorite store now ^_^  also bought a owl pin, it’s funny how my friends start to smile whenever they see me wearing something with an owl because they know I’m totally in love with owls.

Funny thing is that I didn’t buy any clothes but that’s not so weird it would be weird if I didn’t buy any accessories.

Lunch with friends was hilarious, one of the girls went to India this summer and she couldn’t find the right word to explain something so we were trying to find the right word and end up laughing our ass off. It’s really cool how grown up girls always stay giggling girls! Because we girls wherever we are and with whoever, we always try to make the best of it!
