You always have a choice!

Whenever we enroll in a contest, we enroll with the hope of winning.  
Today, for example, is the extraction in a contest in which I could win a Mini Cooper or free shoes for the next 10 years. Obviously there is a part of me that hopes to win and it's perfectly normal because we all need such free pleasures. And no matter how many contests I'll attend, I'll never lose hope that maybe at some point I will win. Again ... perfectly normal ... hope dies last. 

What do you think I'll do if I don't win? The options are: 
1. I will accelerate the ambition engine to work harder so that I gain more and then buy that car I'm craving for... 
2. I waste time investigating whether the person who won had this right, because if it turns out she didn't have it there are 0.01 more chances for me to win. 
3. I accept someone else was lucky and I move on with my head up, waiting for another chance at the next contest ... ultimately I can't lose something I've never had. 

Now, I'm asking... What is the option that you think I'd choose? What is the option that you would choose?

P.S. If you feel the article doesn't make sense, don't worry, next time I will try to be more explicit.

Made in Romania

Today I would like to talk to you about a new project I intend to initiate. The project will be called Made in Romania and will involve promoting pieces of clothing/shoes/accessories, made ​​by talented Romanian designers, who are at the beginning and don't benefit of an intense promotion in the media, yet. I intend to do an article like this at least once a month.

The idea for this project emerged due to several factors. One of them is represented by the frequent discussions on the blog about wearing authentic pieces, possibly Romanian, instead of imitation ones (that doesn't mean I won't wear such pieces anymore), another factor is a proposal I got from Cătălina to wear one of her creations, another factor is my own experience in this regard and the fact that I understand more than anyone the need for promotion.
The last factor is the desire to increase the blog and how else than coming in front of you with interesting and useful ideas.

The pilot episode of Made in Romania series will be released on February 24th ... so stay tuned ...

Instagram - not just an application

The first time I came into possession of my iPhone I wasn't very excited about its capabilities. Little by little I obviously got absorbed and learned to love it in all respects.

Instragram is one of the applications I use most often on my iPhone. I like very much it's ability to transform, through effects, an ordinary picture into a small work of art ...and I love the fact that I get access to intimate details of people's lives in a more transparent and more credible way than through blogs themselves. I dare to say that I'm getting to know people through the photos they share and I can't say why, but I REALLY LIKE IT.

Ready, set, go!

I have one more day of vacation. I will get back to work on Monday with fresh forces and revived... I dare to say.

During this vacation I rested, I walked, I had fun, I cooked, I spent time with my family, I did too much shopping ... in a word ... I did everything and to be honest it would have been a shame to be otherwise.

I'm leaving you with some pictures from the New Year's Eve party and I wish you to have a week with not too many challenges.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas, for me and my family, is a very good opportunity to remember once again how lucky we are.
We have a warm home where we decorated the tree waiting for Santa Claus, we have plenty to eat, we are healthy and above all we have each other and we share the same big love.
I don't think I could ask for more at this time .... Well...actually there is something I could ask for ...
I want everyone from this world to have at least a quarter of what we have.  
Merry Christmas!
