The end of my love... Goodbye, July!

My dear!

Usually everyone loves posting photos with the caption "Hello, July!" or some sunny picture with a greeting for the upcoming summer season. But as July comes to an end, people would forget about it and move forward to August. It's not the same with me.

For the past 26 summers that I've lived through in my life, July has always been my favourite of the two hottest months of the year. (I love you too, August, but even though you have 31 days, September is always in a hurry and this means autumn... )

Even though sometimes I used to spend my July months doing things I don't like or being in our awful stifling town, I always keep good memories. When I remember about a July night while going to work on a rainy Monday morning, I always have my smile and my stomach is filled with butterflies. The charm of this month cannot be fully explained. I have never had someone to fall in love with during this time of the year and yet I feel like I am falling in love every year on July 1.

But I will stop babbling here and I will use the final minutes of this hot July evening to write about some things that happened in the last couple of weeks. Aah, the crickets are singing and it's a full moon...

NB: Due to the thunderstorm yesterday night I couldn't finish the entry that's why the update comes with a delay. Sorry about that!

As promised, I am posting photos of my nails!

 

I usually do my nails by myself but every woman needs to spoil herself sometimes, so your idea was great! Thank you once again for the wonderful present!

Speaking of birthdays... I went to Stenly's B-day celebration and this year it went as planned. I remember last year, we had to go during the hottest part of the day and when we finally got the summer garden... it started raining. It was fun though, but this year was even more exciting. Of course, it was the hottest day of the year again, hahaha!

My gift for him ;)

For the last couple of weeks the weather has been extremely hot. I know it is dangerous, but I like it like that. Of course, I am grateful that I have the chance to work and live in good conditions and not to feel the heat every moment. Last month I read in the news about the heat wave in India and Pakistan. So many people have died!....
How is the weather in France? Is it hot like here? I think you would enjoy the weather in Rousse because you like to be in warmer places. ;)
Update: As I said above and for my surprise, there was a huge thunderstorm yesterday night. It is typical after a long period of heat to rain cats and dogs, yet I couldn't believe it at first when I heard the raindrops.

I am preparing my luggage now because we are going to the country! I haven't been to my village since 2011 and it's a very long time! Shortly after I come back, me and my cousin Sisi will go to Varna, so there will be a couple of weeks with no posts. I hope that you will update me with some info about yourself then. ;)

Bonus stuff - music, food, movies and fashion

I tried to make some healthy cookies from honey, sesame tahini and oats, but my oven is not good for baking sweet things. Apart from that they were delicious. Way too crunchy, but delicious!















These yummy cookies were an evening treat when I felt really exhausted. Some raw cocoa with sesame tahini, few slices of banana and Eat Your Kimchi' s funny videos and life gets better!

I know that you are not a huge fan of ratatouille but guess what - my granny decided to make some for me! You should definitely try hers, it's not filled with too much tomato sauce and I think you would enjoy it more than in France, hahaha!

I have a new girl crush - Tomoko! I found her on the cover of Nylon Japan! She is stunning! There is not so much information about her on the Internet (not in English, as far as I know). Gorgeous girl! And I love her hairstyle, even with the fringe. I hate bangs/ fringe. But it suits her.

I don't know if I have mentioned to you before when I was in my anime mania era, but there is an upcoming action film based on the Attack on Titan manga. I watched the anime and I was more impressed by the music and the story plot than the graphics. But still it was very impressive and I have high expectations for the movie. Especially when another of my girl crushes plays one of my favourite characters there.

Song: Rise As One. I am not a fan of TVXQ because I am not acquainted with their music. But these days there have been much noise about the members in Korea because they have to do their military service. And it is painful for their poor fans, for sure. Anyway, the two of them released solo songs and I decided to listen to them. I like this one more than the other simply because it doesn't sound like Kpop, I think. It's not your style, but give it a try, it may inspire you. ;)

So, this is from me. I hope to find a letter here when I come back from the whole village experience! Tell me about your new obsessions and discoveries in this world!

So, let me unplug myself and go into the wild for some time.

Always by your side, even when sometimes it doesn't look like this,

R.
