The elephant is in the room. Valentine’s day is approaching, and while in Bulgaria we have another great holiday to celebrate on the same day and some prefer it (wine day!), today’s DIY is entirely inspired by love. I would like to call it Lovelier.. .as in chandelier of love..well I am corny. Sorry. So,…

Amsterdam and a sleepy Bulgarian
As you may be able to tell from the title of this brief article – I was very very sleepy when I visited Amsterdam, as I was just returning from a long stay in USA. I will give you a piece of advice here: Please, if you are going to visit a place, any place,…
Depression – what helps me.
I think in today’s day and age depression is a very common issue. And before I start writing about it I want to clarify that, by writing about my experience with depression, I do not mean to upset anyone, or make their experience less important. Just the opposite. I would be as happy as possible if this…
DIY Insprational signs
If you are the type of person who likes decorating their house with things you made yourself. If you think DIYs are relaxing AND useful, read on. I really love collecting inspiring quotes, and I have several notebooks filled with quotes from movies I have seen and books I have read through the years. With…
Places to eat – Sofia, Bulgaria
Are you a foodie? Well, if you are, this is the right place for you, because: Welcome to “Some of my favorite lunch and dinner places in Sofia, Bulgaria”! 🙂 We will start with two of the places I like to eat lunch at when I am at work. Motto – it is a nice,…
Istanbul – home away from home
Apart from the fact that I have lovely friends from Turkey, whom I will always keep close to my heart, Istanbul is a city that deserves being seen. Not only because of its rich history but because of the feel it brings into one’s life upon a visit – homey, cosy and simultaneously crowded, large,…
Miami Beach, baby!
Have you ever dreamed of enormous beaches, warm crystal blue water and a bunch of palms around you? Then Miami Beach is the place for you. Unfortunately (or not so much), while my short trip there lasted (about 4 days), it rained about a thousand times. Some might think that could ruin one’s vacation, especially…
My Love for Drawing – in pictures
My favorite model, turns out to be Adriana Lima. I do not know if this is because her face is practically perfect, and hence, easy to draw, or something else, but I happen to have drawn her the most. Next I want to add some of the drawings of people whom I know. Starting…
Paris!
There is something about Paris. Is it the tales that it is supposedly the most romantic city on earth? I wouldn’t consider a place can bring you romance if you don’t feel it on the inside. Romance comes from people, not places. Even though I do not find too much romanticism in Paris, I did…
Drawing and practice
Just like with any other thing you want to master, the drawing requires incredible amount of practice. The photograph that follows is the same drawing, done by me, two years apart. The one on the left I drew as one of my first drawings ever in 2011 and the one on the right was drawn…
Washington D.C. – What more do I need?
From the first time I set my foot on D.C. ground, I fell in love with this city. This is a place, that feels more like home to me, than my actual home, and a place where I like to return any chance I get. The National Mall area, along with the Capitol, the White…
Drawing for pleasure
In the past 6 years, drawing has become not just a hobby for me, but something I am quite good at and something that relaxes me and helps me with anxiety and stress as much as nothing else. Unfortunately I haven’t had too much time for drawing lately, due to grown-up responsibilities such as work…
NYC – the most fun I’ve ever had
There is not a living person on the planet, who has not heard of New York City, the city that never sleeps. I have had the pleasure to visit it twice – 2 years apart, and my two visits have been completely different from one another. My first time in NY was in 2012, when…
