Red Heads exploring the world

Me and my redhead. This is my best friend. Karolina. We knew each other since we were 5 and never been able to stay apart. I mean yes we do live a few countries away from each other now (my bad), but in our mind we are still right there next to each other. And now its her birthday. Which just makes me remember the beautiful memories we have been able to create together this year.
We got very lucky and been able to visit London and Budapest with Balaton sound festival. I don' t think I can describe in words how wonderful both trips were. So I decided  I will share some of my favorite pictures from them.

London

Pohoda Festival

I have never thought there will be a festival where Id be this chilled and happy at. Me and my anxiety always over think everything. Im a huge fan of music and love gigs. But the mentioned anxiety stops me from actually attending any. Once my sister said, she is taking me to Pohoda Festival in Slovakia, I was so unsure of going. It means I have to fly over, take trains, camp and be pushed around in a crowd for three days. Boy was I wrong for all the nerves.

Summer Lovin

As summer is officially over and nights are colder and darker....

I have a little look back at my summer here. It has been full of ups and downs. Great memories and big chances. Even if they are not physical, I have changed. Some of my plans and ideas of future are different now. A lot of unexpected options have opened up and I am super excited bout them.
I have lots and lots of content planned for you all through fall and winter. Get ready for my little blogging comeback and now...
Let' s get a look back

In A Shortcut

Do you live in England? Have you ever visited? Ever attempted to come during summer? Succeeded? Congrats. You made it to England during those magical 3-4 weeks of summer. If doesn' t always come in a row. Those few weeks are sprinkled around the year, as mother nature pleases. I was lucky enough to be able to somewhat enjoy the first part of British summer and it actually helped me fall back in love with Liverpool.

As I lived here for good few years, Liverpool became my home. Place where I work, live, have responsibilities and grown up shit to deal with. This type of places tends to start grossing us out after a little while. There is nothing you can do about it. It is just one of those things that happens in life.
In my case, I just got tired of being in the same place. Bored of doing same things and not having time or energy to do nothing more then I had to. The few sunny days charged me up though and I was able to go places and do thing that made me love Liverpool on first place. Meeting up with friends, getting food or few drinks, working in and outside of the salon and I even had time to chill and have little me time. Perfect way to remind myself why I live in this Scouse land.

What a summer

Moments like this make me realise how much I do and have chance to experience in such young age. I mean, wow.
Last summer was bit boring, I barely knew anyone in Liverpool and I had no idea what I am doing with myself. I spent most of my time wasting evenings at dates that went no-where or spent days walking round liverpool figuring myself out. Not coming up with anything realistic may I add. Felt lost. Literally.

A year later I´m sitting in a sofa, happy to not be asleep and writing bout my eventfull, tiring, crazy, spontaneous summer. Yes it could get weirder and a lot of people experience more but for me this was IT.
Every summer for me starts by finishing school and my birthday. This was no different. I was finishing my course- with biggest nerves yet, seriously- and then celebrating. I celebrated it all, finishing college, summer, holiday, birthday, friends birthdays.... everything.

The biggest pleasure of all at my college -except for chance to work with LIPA- was getting creative and putting together my final look. I was inspired by a shoot I seen in Elle or Vogue. Basically a mixture of traditional Dia De Los Muertos look with touch of luxury and Dolce & Gabanna. Loved getting crazier and making something other then classy wash&blow haha.
My Final exams weren´t so fun though. Practical part was pretty okay. For anyone who is doing a hairdressing course- don´t stress, it is not the end of the world. It was theory I was afraid of. I was off school for a year so my brain wasn´t so sharp anymore. Also I have never studied in English. Yes I might be able to speak this - for me foreign- language but learning all those special words and terms was dificult at times. I made it though. I actually had over 90 percent. Yay me haha

Then I turned 20. No more teenagers in out family. Gosh I feel old haha. I actually celebrated multiple times since my friends were all over the place. 

At begining of summer I met loads of incredible friends. I actually kept meeting them all summer long and I sure loved it. And I sure love them all to pieces.

One of my favorite memories was a trip to Prague with my mum and sister. I did whole post about it actually. Absolutely in love. Whilst I was on me holiday I even spent a lot of time with my besties I grew up with. Got me so chilled and makes  me proper home sick now that I think of it.

As much as I enjoyed finally having a break from college I well needed to get experience in hairdressing and do more of these stuff I love too. So I actually kept working mobile. Got myself so many clients. And after few weeks of being back from Slovakia/Czech I found an amazing barber shop with ace boss that took me on. Now I have a chance to do it all.

I have been so busy with work. I absolutely loved it but was obviously pretty damn stressful and tiring.

 

 And that was kinda my latest change of life. I am full time barber and hairstylist and full time student. Ah.
To recap my summer I have partied, danced, drank, worked, chilled, sunbath, worked, worked more, partied more...

How was your summer?! Went to any cool places? Seen something you have to share? Any festivals?
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Loving this city

There are many places in the world I love and can´t stop going back to. One of them is Budapest. I will be going back there tomorrow for little wander round. And receantly I added another place to my list.. Prague. City of 100 towers.

First day we decided to have nice walk round. Vaclavske square, all the islands, old town, Charles bridge etc. Everywhere we could go just on our feet without passing out haha.

 Also I went for real comfortable and flowy outfit since it was pretty warm. Yes once it started raining a bit my shoes got bit wet but ay, I live in England so I´m pretty used to that haha. I wore dress from H&M, diy kimono from H&M scarf, Primark shoes and sunnies were from poundland. Best purchase from there I could make.

 Second day I wanted to see a dacing house so we started there, crossed a bridge and walked through whole hill towards Petrin, Hradcin, to Cathedral of Saint Vit and everywhere on that side. Then back to Prague one. My feet were killing since we spent all day walking. Even had to change my pink sneakers for new flats.

 I wore another awesome outfit. same kimono and sunnies as before. Dress from H&M, I originally bought for m y bday party and shoes from Deichmann. They completely ruined me feet haha.

 And third day. I was pretty damn excited even though my body hurted like I´m 50 year old grannie haha. We took metro to Pragues Zoo and oh dear those giraffes and elephants got me exciteeed. Then just few more places I even forgot names of. This was most chilled day I think.

 This was also the hottest day so I couldn´t bare wearing more then simple H&M dress that kept me cool. And poundland sunnies with new flats.

 One thing I loved the most was that evening walk by Vltava. Felt so calm and relaxed.
If you ever been to Prague you´ll understand the charm and magic of this place.
Where are you going this summer?
Until next time, keep safe and life your life to the fullest

African vibes

African Oye festival is now a traditional event in Liverpool. Every june -i think haha- loads of people gather in Sefton park to enjoy african music -from traditional tribe sound to new talented rappers- as well as food, buy home made houseware, clothes, accessories, enjoy sun and time with friends. Last year I went with my dad and we had surprisingly a lot of fun so this time around I wanted to take him again. Later on I met up with my friends and I so recommend doing fun stuff like this with your bunch. 

 I would recommend if possible bring your drinks and food to festivals. It is so much cheaper and easier. Also girl...waiting in line for toilets?! You crazy? Why do you think you´re in nature? haha Tmi?!

 oh and make sure to have some fun stuff with you like accessories, scarfs, blankets, cameras, ... you have no idea how many conversations with strangers can come up. Me and my mates we always end up with loads of pics with strangers too haha. Oh and please think of some sun protections in summer! haha . I know i sound like your mum but I did learn from bad experiences haha. Head covers, sunnies and sun creams! xx

As far as my outfit goes I had no clue what to wear. The weather was being so weird. Looked like it will rain for five minutes and in next five it was boiling hot and sunny. So I got ready for anything haha. Shirt was best find in Primark for forever now, Shorts are DIYed from old Primark jeans. I wore these tights with hearts cause not only I like them but they had little hole at back of them and for events like this I dont like wearing brand new nice once. I rather have something I will throw out anyways haha. Vans sneakers are comfiest thing ever, layered up with H&M sweater that broke up the black look. Oh and it keeps you warmer in case of need. I also had a big but thin scarf in my ASOS backpack. I learned to carry scarfs like that around cause they keep you warm like blanket if you get cold but also you can use it to sit on. Mine lets 3 people to fit on comfortably so yay. Oh the sunnies are last years from New Look I believe. 

 So much fun! Have you been to this festival? Are you planning on going to some? Where would you recommend me and my friends to go?

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest
