Well, hello there...

-

Welcome to my attempt to actually start a proper blog.

My name is Lenka and I am a 25 years old student living in Leipzig, Germany. Although I consider myself a proper citizen of Leipzig after living here for almost three years, I originally come from Slovakia, a little country in the hearth of Europe. Why you are studying abroad, you may ask. The answer is pretty straightforward; I simply wanted more. Attending university back home wasn´t enough for me, I´ve never really felt complete. Maybe that´s why I decided to play it brave and go to Leipzig for six months as an exchange student. And that´s when it happened for me; I realized that I am perfectly able to do so much more with my life than I´ve ever imagined and seeing new places, meeting new people and accepting challenges became the purpose of my everyday life. 

Falling in love with the independence and the city itself, I decided to try again, this time for a longer period of time. I enrolled for Master Studies at the University of Leipzig and, for the first time after what seemed like an eternity, I felt like I found the perfect place for me. 

And that´s where the idea of me starting a blog comes from. I´ve always loved writing and sharing new discoveries with people around me so I might as well put a pen to paper (or put my fingers on my keyboard) and share it with the rest of the world.

So hello Internet. My name is Lenka and I am a dedicated bookworm, Harry Potter fanatic, art lover, music listener, self-proclaimed chef, traveller, incurable romantic (I swear, books made me so), and, starting from today, a blogger. I have no idea how this little piece of my cyber-space is going to work, but I promise, I am going to learn. I will share little bits and pieces of my life, recipes, places I love, tips and tricks, short stories... anything that will undoubtedly cross my overcrowded mind. 


Please, make yourself at home, you are welcome to stay as long as you want.

Until next time, 
čauko, Lenka :)
Location: Lipsko, Nemecko

Another art-related ramble.

A few weeks ago, I talked about how drawing, painting or just doodling mindlessly is a great psycho hygiene for me. It helps me calm down my thoughts and shut down my brain for a while, just like meditation would. It started with a printing paper and markers from my local supermarket. Just the combination of the two made me happy. Then I started watching videos of other people drawing and I saw these double-ended alcohol-based markers that didn´t leave all those nasty unaesthetic streaks that the cheap markers always did. I was amazed, shocked, in love. Of course, my first way led me to my computer; I started searching for the markers and of course I found them… aaand I also saw their price, which wasn´t so lovable. I wasn´t very eager to buy something so expensive to use only as a hobby. So, I let it go. But then, couple of days later, I talked to a friend who draws illustrations professionally. He told me that the expensive markers are amazing, but they are not the only optio...

Skincare that doesn´t break your bank.

  I am a firm believer of the idea that makeup is there to cover anything we don´t want others to see, however, why cover something if we can work some skincare magic so there´s nothing to cover? I got this idea from one of my favourite French women Violette_fr and once I jumped on the skincare wagon, there was no turning back. Saying this, I do love me some lotions, serums or toners... However, I don´t really opt for all those steps and extensive routines that I see some of the other women do, nor do I buy all the overpriced product that are presented to me on social media. Not that I don´t treat myself to something special from time to time... But I took time and found out what really works for me and let me tell you, majority of the products are from my local drugstore and I swear by them! And, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to introduce them to you right this second: CLEANSING: Of course, when preparing for the bed time you have to start with wiping a...

2017 recap and resolutions I am not going to keep in 2018

Happy New Year everyone! The time has come to sum up everything that happened (and didn´t happen) during the past 365 days.  Time runs wild, everything changes from one day to another and we are here to witness it all. So let me tell you about my 365 days of 2017.  Actually, I had the roughest start to the year. The holidays went past faster than I anticipated and it was time to return to school. Don´t get me wrong, I loved my school; well, apart from the one professor that was determined to turn my life into a living hell. Oh, yes, I get it, it all sounds exactly like the sentence a lazy student would say. But that´s not my case. Well not since I started my Masters. The thing is, she just found a good reason to embarrass me and almost insult me in front of my classmates on my presentation day just because I was known to hate the subject she was teaching. It was the worst feeling, having just been turned into a little nothing in front of other people by someone I was...
