ENG | PL Long winter evenings with a warm blanket and tea are a great time to catch up on reading books. I wouldn’t be myself if the books that I choose wouldn’t be relevant to travelling at least to some extent … Now, during a pandemic, getting into the fantasy world of literature is one of the ways of moving to beautiful places. They can walk you along the charming Italian streets, making you feel like the protagonists. What about having a coffee in Manhattan or taking a trip around the world stopping in the smallest villages of the world? Allow yourself to be carried away by the magic of the books’ world – unlike electronic devices, it won’t run out of battery, doesn’t need Wi-Fi and you can easily take it everywhere, even to the swimming pool. What can I recommend this time? Books set in the picturesque Italy in their background, because who wouldn’t like to bask on the sand in its marvelous corners, taste their wonderful dishes, or lose themselves in its beauty!

ENG | PL Christmas is a magical time – not only because of the gifts or the first star in the sky. Celebrating Christmas has always been a special moment in our lives – family gatherings, a supper shared with our loved ones, caroling & breaking a wafer are the elements dominating our Polish homes. Decorating the tree? Absolutely! 12 dishes on the table? Of course! But let’s move to other countries and check what do christmas traditions around the world look like!

ENG | PL Pleats are an extremely popular fashion trend that is worth paying attention to in every season. It doesn’t matter if it’s early spring, summer, late fall or a harsh winter. We can wear pleated clothes for an ordinary outing, a gala evening or an elegant dinner. The pleats will enliven the whole outfit and certainly add charm to your style. Pleated clothes are a great investment for every woman who appreciates originality – regardless of size! Check out my plus size outfit inspiration guide, this time in the pleated edition!

ENG | PL One thing I’ve learnt recently was that you don’t really need to travel far away to be a tourist. While you might not be used to “travelling your hometown” and think that you wouldn’t really enjoy it because you already perfectly know it – these tips for local travel might surprise you with different ways to enjoy your hometown as a tourist & maybe even convince you to start exploring it in a new manner.

ENG | PL When I was sitting at home during the times of quarantine in my city, all I could think of was how much I wanted to travel. Since that wasn’t possible and I couldn’t stop my need for wanderlust, I had to get creative! That’s when I realized that I could take this opportunity and use it as a vacation at home: make it a staycation. With the motivation to feel the thrill of travelling again and doing something at home that wouldn’t make me fall into depression from the boring routine, I came up with staycation ideas that made me fuel my wanderlust while still staying at home. What’s important is that these ideas are not only valid for quarantine – you can do these things anytime you are at home and want to have a little home vacay to chill, relax & discover new things. Let’s get on with the best home staycation ideas list then!

ENG | PL Italian cuisine is one of the most loved culinary sectors of the world. If someone would ask me what is the one thing I really miss about living in Italy, I would definitely reply: food. [Read my post about leaving Italy HERE]. And it’s not just stereotypically pizza or spaghetti. Italians have a wonderful variety of different ways of preparing fish, more or less complex sauces for a huge palette of pastas, but also other things. I am going to share with you my favourite dishes that you will have to try once we are able to go to Italy again (or make them at home!). And since we are already stuck in the quarantine, why don’t we “fake it till we make it” and have an Italian evening with homemade traditional dishes! Below you will find the best Italian dishes you should try along with recipes.

ENG | PL James Cameron’s “Titanic” is without a doubt the most popular movie taking action on a cruise ship. However, did you know that this is not the only cinematic production in which the action is fully settled on a ship? Today I will recommend you some movies & TV series about cruises available among other platforms on Netflix. Watching cruise stories will definitely make our homesteads more pleasant while awaiting our next sea adventures.

Unfortunately we are finding ourselves in a situation we have never imagined we would be in the middle of. A global pandemic of coronavirus covid-19 is causing our countries to suggest a self-quarantine and isolation in order to contain the virus. But I’m not going to lecture any of you on it, the news are already full of every kind of information about it. What I’m here to do is to tell you that this time spent at home doesn’t have to be hard – it all depends on your point of view on it. If you’re going to repeat to yourself what you can’t do, you will feel locked up and this will only make you feel more scared, bored or annoyed.

- Milena, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. – I sighed full of doubts. – But do we have anything to loose?
- Treat it as a specific kind of a diary. This way we won’t forget our impressions and we will have a lot of memories to read through & remember. And if it becomes more than that? It can only get better. – Milena was, successfully, convincing me. In the majority of the matters we have always been compatible and overall we went through a lot together, her ideas never let me down one way or the other.

They say that if you start your year with a big kick – you’re gonna have an awesome year ahead. And that’s exactly what happened! The year 2019 was greeted by us with great music, champagne toast and amazing ballroom dresses – and that is exactly how our whole 2019 went: in gala dresses, luxury places and full of Prosecco…
