This world is so crazy that sometimes you want just run away from the stress of a big city and isolate yourself from all the hustle and bustle of the 21st century. And that's exactly what I did in August. It was quite a spontaneous trip for two weeks with my family to Finland.

I can't believe how time flies by and Fall is going to be here so soon! I'm still thinking that June is a few days away haha.
Well, we better greet a new season with a tasty dessert in our mouth. In Russia, it's a season to go to the forest and pick lots of tasty berries including the lingonberry. That's why I want to share with you a lingonberry pie recipe that my mom loves to bake for us. It's very simple, tasty and the smell of it brings coziness home.

Not that long time ago I didn’t know much about coffee but when you move to a city like L.A. you would be hard-pressed not to learn all about it--maybe even more than you wanted to!

What is the first thing comes in mind when you think about Hawaii?
A ukulele? Rainbows? Honolulu? Hawaiians dancing the hula? Lilo and Stich?
After my second trip to the Hawaiian islands I have a whole new set of associations that pop into my head. Hawaii – it's warm tropical rain everyday, the burning sun, unbelievably tall ferns, mysterious bright birds, a very high humidity that prevented my swimsuit from drying out for TWO days, sweet passionfruit juice, active volcanos, fresh ahi tuna, dolphins, green turtles and finally a peaceful atmosphere that inundates everything.

It can't be right: Spring without Spring wallpapers on your devices :)

I'm not a beauty blogger, and definitely not a make-up guru. I'm not even trying to pretend to be one of those things! But I am a girl, and I like to talk about make-up sometimes. That's why today's post is pretty girly! 

When I began to get into photography, one of the first questions that popped into my head was: what camera and lenses  do my favorite photographers use? Maybe you are also interested in what I shoot with? Then stay with me and I'll tell you!

I only know a few people that don't like or are indifferent towards the story of Harry Potter. I grew up with Ron, Hermione and Harry which is why the story of the "Boy Who Lived" has so much meaning to me. When Christmas and New Year's holidays come, I want to climb under a cozy blanket with my hot cocoa and rewatch the whole series!

Are you getting into the Christmas spirit? Do you understand that it is time to think about presents for your family and friends?
