Hello new frames, I've been expecting you. Life with bags under my eyes is not as terrible as life with only one pair of prescription eyeglasses which tend to get misplaced on more than one occasion daily. I am short sighted and wear my contact lenses while facing the outside world but when entering four walls of my kingdom, I joyously ditch the hydrogels and reach for the old fashioned frames that work magic on my tired eyes. So when GlassesShop reached out to me with almost-impossible-to-choose-one-pair-from-website, I had a hard time choosing but pretty much found my favourite. The genius behind an online glasses/sunglasses store lies in more playful approach as there are so many oddly shaped and multicoloured ones I was impressed by the most. I went for the two-toned pair sticking to my closet's colour scheme but my eyes stayed on for a good while browsing through selection of cheap glasses shining in their colour combinations I never imagined were possible and shapes that shift one's attitude literally in seconds.

This expressive arrangement of eyewear is meant to spark joy while being highly individual to the person wearing it. I also love the light, unbreakable case creating an interesting dialogue with the pair inside because of its transparency. All there is to be yet done is a little tightening of temples and their tips to fit my small head as this is the part that is harder to get right while shopping online. I'm totally happy about that. But the best thing of all? There is a special coupon code for all of you to get 50% off on eyeglasses and sunglasses with free lenses (sale frames excluded). 

Use GSHOT50 to get your 50% off discount. What a game changer with the abundance of styles!

So embarrassingly often Nadia skips up to me to complain about her toy situation -- just how many combinations hundred Lego bricks can provide? Well girl, in my days ten bricks were enough for an exciting afternoon... Yet it's true, she hasn't been gifted anything other than pens and exercise books for endless hours of drawing, cutting pieces and gluing things together, those are on our all time wish list. But sometimes a lot of good (same) things can be unbearable even for an avid artist. Here came Brio to the rescue. An online shop (with many physical locations across the UK) I had to set alarm to stop browsing and go back to stirring, grating and seasoning because when a company contacts us and offers hours of enjoyment, there's only one answer - we might get used to it ;)

It was important to me that before the initial opening of the box full of toys we were happy with the company's ethics and where those colourful things came from. Learning that Brio uses its wood only from renewable forests was just as reassuring as knowing their plastic parts are also responsibly manufactured and free from 'high concern' substances and chemicals. Little fingers and most importantly delicate baby gums we're about to witness first hand have mama's confident green light. And how lucky they are! Pretty colours, sturdy textures, excellent quality, easy to assemble and dismantle to beat the clock at the end of the day. Expecting a baby brother, Nadia made sure she chose something they could play with together (before she'll really and truly test it beforehand which I'm sure he won't mind). A countryside horse set had to be picked while there is still a space on the floor and baby proofing is just a term we don't recognize. At least until the next springtime. Endless fun, just have enough batteries for the train and you know how serious it can get. Plus a pull along horse for the time when it's the most fun to get around on both feet and chase everybody in sight. Great choice for sure just as this beautiful motion wobbler serving as a paper weight at the moment ;)


 And you may still be looking to help out Easter bunny this coming holiday with little something to go along with all those chocolate eggs. I believe I am qualified enough to say after not having much of life outside this site for a couple of mornings that Brio has it all for citizens of different age groups, newborns happily included (this sweet box of magnetic blocks will definitely not push us out the door but in the latitude of certain rainy days I'm convinced we'll make a lot of magic happen indoors). So the magic kept happening since receiving the bulky box of toys Nadia's in charge of, sweetly committed to look after them in whatever form it will be before her brother arrives (I saw the horse flying high before landing safely on the sofa. Healthy sense of control). 

Thank you so much, Brio for gifting us with your toys, it feels even more special to know the fun soon will be doubled.

I've been blessed with yet another boy to use my auntie's charm on. What is it universe? You must be convinced I'm doing a pretty decent job in loving. Rest assured, the demand for joy out of simple presence is strong and calling. Babies smell just the same in real life as they do in my mind. Wriggling toes know the same rhythm if only there are enough hours in a day to take it in. And when you await for one arriving, the place in your heart has always been ready, upon first contact arms know the routine by heart, they are the place of pure comfort. There's the first night we remember, the many feeds and a milky breath. The moment eyes actually see us and not just familiarize themselves with. And when they don't just see us but look for intentionally.

Together with a fabulous company, Butterfly Your World I celebrate the arrival of a little boy I call my cousin, little sparkle, the youngest family member to date only just realizing how loved he is. And I'm happy those sunny moccasins are still wide enough for months of motionless adventures before feet are ready to roam free to practice at each opportunity. I can't believe we're here already with his photos occupying my laptop's storage space. There are always enough reasons to finding a pair of feet that can benefit from wearing featured footwear.

P.S. Go check the website - organic, vegan, softest to the touch little treasures will not stay in your shopping cart another mealtime and with the offer of Buy One Get Second Pair 50% Off  I'd raid my closet in making more room. What do you say? x

Over a week ago I started browsing the internet to get some ideas for gifts that will be welcomed under the Christmas tree and well loved for the next month or so. And although this year our approach to season's traditions will shift towards concepts that haven't been tried before, there are still members of our family that will enjoy long-awaited ripping neatly wrapped paper off. I cannot possibly deprive them of this pleasure, especially that  there is some really great stuff dominating my space. But here comes the best part. A team from Suppose.com has contacted me and offered to send a Disney Cars 3 Wheel Tri Scooter for free to review and fall in love with. Yes, please! Not only this is the toy that resonates with my inner Santa a lot but the deal that Suppose.com found will make anyone's heart beating faster than it should (a whooping £12.50 instead of £30.00, man I wouldn't mind buying it myself!). Good deal is a magic word that is worth flirting with and I'm all in.  

What is Suppose.com? It is a place that allows users to track price changes from online retailers. By creating lists, tracking the cost of items that can change daily or even by the minute to ensure that the best possible deal is found is the thing I thought you'd like to hear about. No wonder the site has become my new one-stop site for all things recently desired. And what more do I need than a smiley face of a little person enjoying the sound of a first swoosh of air between the wheels? I'm overjoyed this easy to assemble vehicle for a Cars-mad boy didn't last until the caroling season. My dear nephew hasn't stopped playing with it ever since.

You haven't been prepared to see me wearing glasses, have you? So I'm taking advantage of my favourite global online glasses and sunglasses store, Firmoo and hiding contact lenses away. For those of you wondering how a gal that is not confident enough to walk around four eyed is shouting out about her new beautiful frames, the answer is brief. As a shortsighted person I needed a break from my beloved, invisible friends being put away each night and greeted again every morning. I also wanted to break up a monotony and add something cool to complement -my not always- stylized look and how does one say no to an accessory for all seasons, in a shade that strikes their fancy? When Firmoo asked me to review their product I literally dropped what I was doing and rummaged through the office drawer to find that eyeglasses prescription. The pair I was super excited about was the one with a crazy pattern inside of frame and a mix of black and brown splashes on the outside called Tortoise. What I loved about choosing the right frame for the shape of my face was the possibility of uploading my photo and having fun 'trying on' different styles and designs to be perfectly sure I liked the way they fit. Totally worked! Once I was happy with the design, I had so many options I could choose from to customize my new accessory for best possible experience.

Although I opted for women's frames, I was hooked on many unisex designs which totally rocked my style. Every pair comes with a beautifully crafted high quality case featuring a map, a spectacle pouch, cleaning cloth and tiny screwdriver were also added to the mix. You are also presented with a detailed 'maintain method' of how to care for your eyewear (such as not to take off eyeglasses with a single hand as it can make the frame deform and which I was guilty of in the past). I've worn mine for over a week and figuring out what makes them work is easy: throw in to that mix of what I've said the delicacy of the product with its incredible durability and I've found the right formula. Made of high quality material can occasionally fall into hands of a curious child of mine but it only makes them more desirable. Oh, and taking an interesting case out of my handbag feels totally cool in any circumstances. I'm loving my new pair! Visit Firmoo website to browse their latest selection, I'm right beside to cheer your finds.   

So tell me about you. Do you switch between glasses and contacts or have you made that move for good? Do you enjoy wearing glasses? I'm curious to find out. xx

Habits are like freckles or broken veins. They don’t surprise, may annoy at times. Our relationship with them is even closer than with our partners, children or friends and like in any relationship we have to give in order to get. Good habits reward us for giving but bad ones get as much as they need leaving us with nothing but frustration and low self-esteem. They are predictable, we know what they offer and at what price. To change a bad habit into a god sent is frightening, just like anything done for the first time. At this stage it requires giving even more than surrendering to well known bad guy. I know from experience how bittersweet bad habit can make me feel. I have embraced mine to the point of suffocating from its needing overpowering nature. 

I had one of those late conversations with my husband when we were lying in bed and despite being terribly sleepy, there was still time for a cuddle and rushing those grey cells before falling into unconsciousness. I value his opinions because he’s the string to my kite and a brake to my engine. So I asked him if one can drastically change herself and never go back to previous hardly beaten habits (while not being naturally self-disciplined and driven). Can we change roles and still succeed? He was skeptical because no matter how much one is able to bury the true self - it remains as a murky passenger on the rear seat of one’s car so no matter what direction it is going, you still catch a glimpse of it in the reflexed mirror. It’s said it takes 21 days to break a habit, 21 consecutive days, no cheating, playing up. I smiled. So it is manageable. This brings me to a challenge I've filled my mind with a little while ago. A total change, a step by step new routine. Meat as food could vanish and I wouldn’t care. The only meat I put into my mouth is an occasional chicken and fish (salmon, cod, sardines), I don’t eat red meat, sea food at all. I drink cow’s milk but I prefer soya milk and yoghurt more and curiously look at the supermarket’s shelf for rice or almond milk (since I love almonds, it must be delicious). Cheese is my big addiction but again I’m not a huge and regular eater and tofu tastes fantastic so I guess transferring to veganism would not break me in half. I’m more than ready to apply changes in my diet - starting off with reading ingredient list on packages, choosing organic, limiting sugars, processed food. The whole idea of researching is to live a conscious life and being responsible for the health faults, general mood and impact on environment one has. Food choices, lifestyle determine the quality of life itself and its ending which I’m particularly focused on. I think it’s never too late to ditch old habits and stick to new routines. I just need to say to myself: “If you want cheese, etc. you can have it. This doesn’t have to be forever. No cheese today. Tomorrow we’ll discuss it again”.
