Effort or no effort?

I love this look. It's funny because I originally planned on something different only to notice I had a spot on my pants. Well, not much to change but scheduling some laundry time. I originally planned to shoot an outfit I was supposed to wear so I was a little bit sad it didn't happen. We had things to do anyway so I just threw an outfit to do the shores. Passing the mirror by I noticed that my outfit actually looked pretty cute. I smiled and asked my husband on his opinion. He only smiled back and said that we are doing the shoot anyway. Isn't it lovely? There is a lot about me being effortless lately. I do own my looks and I don't actually work hard to look pretty. Yes, you can still see me wearing a smile t-shirt+jeans/shorts combo oftentimes but most of the time I look as if I made an outfit (read some effort here). Also don't you have some Caribbean vibe here? I somehow get it here. A lot.


There is one more thing I want to talk about today. Not actually a thing connected to fashion, it's connected to life instead. And to effort too. Not long before wonderful fellow blogger and a great inspirational writer Laura (you can find her blog here) asked me if I wanted to take her course on Cycle breaker parenting and review it. I didn't hesitate because I really love her blog and how she speaks up in there. I was thinking to actually buy a course too once we're more settled with the baby routine so the offer was even more welcomed. I didn't fully work through it yet but I am so eager to start with my preliminary review. 
First of all: I love that you can read and listen to the course. Both options are self-sufficient so if you wanna go on a walk and listen to a pleasant guiding voice it will be just as good as to read the lesson quietly in your room. It mixes and matches well as well. I like it a lot because I actually get things better when I read them comparing to listening to on any language. 
Second of all: the approach. kindness, forgiveness, connection. Radical compassion is a thing! It is perfect and it utilizes so much from the therapy sessions. It is basically a steal! 
Third of all: the exercises. I love doing the work but I don't have much time and a big amount of writing and working scares me off. Here you get just what you need to give you more thought and at the same time not to rob you. Special shout out for the stylish prints to work it. Stylish and elegant. 
Forth: the contents. not only I admire the subject I love how focus is placed on you way more than on the kids. My grown-ups like me it might be an issue. The course is universal so it works equally good for any gender, age group of parent or a child and number of kids you might have (surely, that is only my own perspective and thinking).
Fifth point: as I have already mention the price of the course. I mean it. Taking how much it has in line with therapies, how balanced it is, the price is very affordable. It is actually very affordable even if offered less. The course spans for a month of daily work (and we do understand that it will probably take you a little longer to finish as we are all grown ups here and have kids too).
Do I need a sixth? I little bit of negativity in here: I couldn't find anything about the course I didn't like so I find it pretty hard to write a review here. You know, the course sounds too perfect. It actually is. To me. Also there is a great podcast about cycle breaker parenting! Highly recommend it as well as her free mini course (you can start there to see if her vision and wording works for you)

  4. Your outfit is super cute...it has a 70s vibe! I have never heard of cycle breaker parenting, but I love the idea of letting go of the feelings of insecurity and fear that we developed in our childhood.

  7. I love the head scarf! BTW, it has become super difficult to comment on your blog since so many ads keep popping up and moving all over the screen... in case you can do something about it ;)

Still can't skate

Each year they set up a free artificial ice skating area as part of Christmas village in our city. I have tried it several times before and could never figure it out. But it is fun anyways. There is something in doing something horribly without any shame. I am not trying to excel in it and for some reason it it truly deeply liberating. What do you think? I wore simple and comfy outfit. Cropped top with Nightmare before Christmas print (it is Christmas theme for me, ok), comfortable back cargo pants and sneakers. You can not really top that. I was wearing: Cuidado con el Perro top and pants Converse shoes   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

More about hats

How did you welcome a new year? I did it calmly with lots of time dedicated to myself. Man, I needed a nice little break here and there, especially as my little one is home for a school break. I have had a lot of fun but I also managed to dig in some interesting information I really want to share with you. I now live in the hot climate and wear hats only for style but I used to wear hats to keep me warm years back. And you know what I am happy I have a choice. These days I wear a lot of bucket hats and baseball hats and occasionally rock a fedora. Do you fancy some hats? I used to wear wool based hats all the time but I never actually didn't try to alter it. recently I found a great way to alter them and get them to fit you perfectly. I would love to share it with you because I know just how much a good fit changes the whole perspective on a life in the cold. I have discovered three fantastic ways to deal with it: hot water pot, shower and washing machine (only applicable on bucke...

Walk the river

Today I want to tell about vacation of mine. I don't want to start chronologically instead I want to show you the best day ever we spend in Gelendgik area. It was a day full of walking swimming and fun. We went to a special nature area park build around river Zhane. Mountains and absolutely dreamy rocks everywhere with waterfalls and baths. The scenery is so dreamy I just couldn't help it! So let the photo speak for themselves. We actually swam in the river. So refreshing and totally wild. I was so impressed that I felt like sea is only a so-so place for swimming after magic rivers Zhane and Pshada (I'll tell you about it in my next post). I wore my wonderful romper I take with me on most of the trips (it asked for no space and fits perfectly. Flipflops make walking around the rocket harder but if you need to step onto the river all the times it is an optimal choice. Comfy tiny bight blue-green top to finish the outfit alongside with a ca...
