Paris is always a good idea...

    Today, I woke up with the wanderlust of travelling somewhere...And, because I'm a hopeless romantic I chose without any doubt France.As long as you can't go to Paris whenever you want, I thought of bringing it home.
    Wouldn't be spectacular to start your Thursday morning opening your window and admiring "le célèbre Tour Eiffel"?! Or thinking of what to wear for a little walk on the famous Champs-Elysées?! Or having to choose between macarons and croissants would become your daily problem?!Well, you don't have to answer because I can easily guess it...
    Paris, undoubtedly, has an unequally reputation for being one of the most beautiful, interesting and romantic city from all over the world.








     Paris is always a good idea, isn't it?Well, it's almost impossible not to fall in love with it.
    "It's not a city, it's a world" said once King Francois The I, and he was right. Paris is an alive city, full of creativity and beauty, with hundreds of museums and art galleries, wonderful parks, amazing boutiques with the last "en vogue" fashion collections and, of course, irresistible restaurants and cafés.











    Definitely, the art of good eating and drinking is more than a simply free time spending activity and I found  all of these in one place, Paul. A place that keeps the traditions and where you can go to relax and feel the French style.

















La vie est pleine de petits bonheurs!!!! 





Baisers!!!!

Bucurestiul din povesti...

    Nu e luna mai potrivita ca ianuarie sa iesi la pas prin orasul vechi pentru a-i descoperi locurile fermecatoare, asta chiar si in lipsa fulgilor de zapada care i-ar fi accentuat farmecul.
    Dupa o zi incarcata care a dat startul acelei perioade "mult iubite si asteptate" de studenti, presesiunea
(care de fapt anunta punctul culminant, sesiunea), am facut un prim popas in Libraria Humanitas, deschisa la sfarsitul anului 2012 la parterul superbei Cladiri Cismigiu.
    Celebrul Hotel Cismigiu adaposteste un veac de istorie si farmec, fiind situat inca de la inceputuri, sub numele de Palace Hotel, pe Bulevardul Elisabeta, bulevard care avea sa devina un Broadway bucurestean in anii 30'. Anii 40', il innoiesc cu beraria Gambrinus care continua traditia celebrei berarii Gambrinus a scriitorului I.L.Caragiale. Povestea continua, iar in anii 65' isi primeste numele de Hotel Cismigiu datorita parcului din vecinatate. Urmeaza anii in care devine camin al studentilor de la Academia de Teatru si Film, fiind in final inchis din cauza contiilor de degradare avansate.
    Astazi, il gasim cu totul si cu totul schimbat si renovat, dar cu acelasi aer elegant a ceea ce a devenit de-a lungul timpului: un simbol.


    Te-am convins?! Ei bine, iti poti incepe calatoria in timp cu o ceasca de ceai fierbinte, rasfoind paginile cartilor de suflet in fata geamurilor mari care dau in bulevard.
    










La final, nu uita si de o scurta plimbare prin parc!







"Books aren't made of pages and words.They're made of hopes, dreams and possibilities"

Start the year with spectacular goals!!!

    I've noticed that doing a "To do" list for the new year, makes me think of all the beautiful things I want and I can do, which definitely gives me an optimistic view regarding the year which started a few days ago.
 
 This year I want to:


...love more


... laugh more


...have more vacations as beautiful as I used to have


...find more spectacular places


...meet new people with the power to inspire me


...develop the power to inspire others


...learn a language which looks impossible but it can be done


 ...write more


...read more books


...take more pictures


...explore my own city


...spend more time with my friends


...fill the house with flowers


...be completely, undeniably and contagiously HAPPY


    It's time to start doing all the things you've planed even if they look hard to do at first sight.They are not impossible.With patience, will, ambition, determination and love you'll see how the small steps will lead you to the big results.





So, let's get to work!!!!!!
