How To Enjoy Halloween

Halloween is a night that not everyone everyone enjoys properly, so I wanted to share with you some tips for making it great and feel like a little kid!

1) Get themed sweets and put them all around the house some decorated bowls and grab them whenever you want to!

2) Decorate your house
You can do it all by yourself or you can ask some friends to help you, this way you will have fun together! Halloween decorations can be very different so choose your style! You can use ghost decorations only or you can mix different things together, the choice is yours!

3) Watch movies
They don't have to be horror or to scary if you're not into that gender, you can simply choose something Halloween-related that you can enjoy without freaking out! Personally, I like watching some disney movies, or some Halloween-related episodes of your favorite tv-show!

4) Instead of buying a costume, do it yourself!
I think that this is the most exciting thing you can do, because you're going to be different from anyone else and you'll enjoy the process! If you're not that good with this, you can buy a basic-costume and decorate it the way you like it!

5) Carve pumpkins! 
I suggest you to do it the day before Halloween because this way they don't rot. You can carve it the way you like it better and put some scented candles inside of it to create a perfect atmosphere!

6) Read Halloween-related books
For enjoying Halloween the most, I suggest you to read all things Halloween related, this way you will know the real meaning of Halloween and you will enjoy it so much more!

Do you have other tips? Share them with me! 💕🎃

How I Make Money With My Blog: Sverve

Even though my blog is pretty young, I decided to monetize it a little bit, just to have some extra money that I can spend on make up or clothes that I'm going to talk about on the blog.

One of the sites that I discovered is Sverve. I particularly like this site because it allows you to chose the campaigns that you wanna apply to, but it even selects campaigns that mights suit you better. Let me explain: if you're a beauty blogger, you will not see technology campaigns. I think that this is a nice way to organize things because you don't lose time reading things that you are not interested in.

An another thing that I like about it is that you can get paid as soon as you reach $5.00, this way if your incomings aren't really big, you can still get your money without waiting too much.

Have you tried it yourself? If you did tell me what you think about it, and if you haven't you can try it right away, just click here

health is the most precious thing you will ever have

This post is really a personal one and you'll understand the reason why as you read it. To be honest I didn't even read it back because I'm too scared but I hope you'll appreciate it anyway. 

Most people probably have no idea of how if feels to be seriously ill and probably they'll never know it and I really hope that they will never face serious health problems. 
Unfortunately, some people aren't that lucky and right now, at age of 18, I am scared as hell that I might be one of these people. I would have never thought that I'd go to sleep wondering if I'll ever see the sunlight again. What I'm saying might sound dramatic and I know that it is, but that's how I feel and that's the reason why I've been hard time at sleeping. I haven't talked properly about these feeling with anyone because they'd probably think that I'm just being crazy and I truly hope that they're right, I hope that I'm just temporarily losing my mind and that this isn't happening at all. I really hope that I'm wrong, that everything's going to be again and that one day, when I'll be old and grey, I'll think about all these thought and realize how naive I was. But I'm also freaking scared that this will never happen. And it's understandable to feel like this when even your doctor doesn't know what causes the pain you've been feeling all over your body for more than a month. And it even gets worst when your heart aches for real, not because a guy broke it. This time you feel like your heart it seriously not working good anymore. 

I wrote all of these stuff because I'd like to make you understand how precious your health is, so just try to treat your body right and take care of it, because when you'll lose it, you'll want it back with every inch of you.

This Week: Back In Town

I started this week in the loveliest way possible: I found some really old pictures of me and my relatives and we all spent hours looking at them and trying to remember those moments. 
Me (1 year old) and my mom


Then, I just tried to spend some quality time with my relatives because it was almost time to leave Ukraine and go back to Milan, Italy. I really enjoyed those days and I had a lot of fun playing with my cousins' children, especially with Maxim who turned 1 recently. 

On Wednesday it was time to leave so we started our road trip in the afternoon and we arrived the next day. Even though long road trips like this one might look exhausting, I get to see some amazing places around Europe and my favorite is Budapest, Hungary which is a really nice and underrated city. 

When I walked in my apartment in Milan I ate a lot of pasta (I missed it!) and I tried to get some rest. I'm trying to enjoy the last days of my summer holidays until I start school again on the 14th of September.
During the rest of the week I just stayed home because I really needed to relax. However, on Sunday I met my friend Camilla in the evening in the city center and we chatted a lot and made a little shopping. We aso decided to visit one of the museums you can find in piazza Duomo, called "Museo Del Novecento"
