They say, you gotta love yourself before you can love someone else. I totally agree with that !

You can't be truly happy if you are not happy with yourself first. So sometimes, you simply have to treat yourself to something nice and be nice to yourself.

So, today - I bought myself a big fresh bouquet of lovely autumn-colored flowers to brighten up my home :D



So, after having made the decision that I totally deserve these wonderful flowers - I decided to also treat my baby to something nice ! Here's a lil sneak preview lol and you can guess what it is !




Today we have been together for exactly 2 years and 4 months :)

I don't know how I could have been so lucky to meet Theo and I'm so grateful :)

Even if we are just at home doing nothing, we are always having fun together, which is awesome!


So tonight, I say cheers to true happiness ! :D It will happen if you just treat yourself and the ones you love to something nice!

Last night, my neighbor and I were talking about how I could change around some stuff in my apartment.. She came up with a brilliant idea of moving a closet to a small space next to the washing machine, and from there on - I become inspired and worked myself exhausted with moving around stuff and tidying up ! But I'm happy with the result :D




My new shoe shelf made everything a lot more tidy and the oven could go to the other side of the room, instead of being next to the front door lol


The big odd chair, the printer and all the paperwork could go to where the small closet was standing before.. These are all things that make the interior sucky, so now they are hidden away in this corner ! :D


The small closet did actually fit next to the washing machine ! :D Yaay - More space in the living room :D

Oven is now a little bit closer to the kitchen :D And, I got some photos of African animals today, because the wall became very empty over there, I realized last night.



And here is my froggy that Theo bought for me in Poland for my bday ! :D

Isn't this the cutest frog you have ever seen ? We were walking in a mall in Poland, and it was placed right by the entrance of the store and it was looking at me... :D Now he is sitting happily under my palm "tree" :D

Last but not least, here's something I can highly recommend :D


Home-made fries, fried in a little bit of olive oil in a pan (not deep-fried) until they are golden, and then some crema balsamico poured over.. YUMMIE !!

Tomorrow the first episode of the 8th season of Hell's Kitchen is available ! I love Gordon Ramsay :D

I think I used to be a cat in my former life.

Sitting on the couch all comfy when the sun is shining right on it through the window is one of the best things !!

The warmth is so relaxing and better than any massage, in my opinion.. I really love sunshine and sunny weather ! :)


Without the sun, we wouldn't exist - so we need to enjoy it in the literal sense!!

New stuff ! :D

The last week, I have purchased a few new things to refresh and make my life easier/happier! :D

I love to buy new things, however, they don't have to big and expensive to make me happy :)

It's about seeing the beauty of small things and be happy for them !! Then you will have so much more to be happy about in your life - that's my philosophy.

Here's my absolutely wonderful rose plant that I got during the week, and I love the shadow effect during the evenings :D


I also got new plates at IKEA last weekend... Here's the before and after effects:

A nice salad on the old ugly, grey-white-ish plates...... :(

And here's another nice salad on the new, black, shiny plates = BEAUTIFUL ! :D

Here's my complete dinner table, with chairs ! Before I only had the big office chair LOL. Now it looks a little bit more like a dining area :)

Now I can finally invite people over for dinner and eat a lovely breakfast in the weekends with my love by this table, instead of with the food on your lap sitting on the couch :)


And today I bought my blender, that my parents got me a "gift card" for on my birthday in the summer :) A big one for a good price, was my goal and I found the perfect one :D

Starting next week I'll start making a lot of yummie smoothies !! :D Healthy and tastes like fluid candy !

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ! :)
