Four months ago I was sitting in this place for the first time and overlooking Berlin. I knew it is a perfect city to live in for me. Something in between my life in London and Lithuania. Not only it is actually in the middle and closer to both cities I care about, but it has the right atmosphere. That <i>crazy</i> and international London vibe, mixed with a bit more <i>natural</i> and slower lifestyle, which we have in Lithuania. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know you know I am happy here and I cannot tell you how grateful I am I was able to decide where to live when changing the countries. This move was one of the most spontaneous things I've ever done in my life. Despite the fact, I am honestly thankful to everyone, who helped and are helping me to settle here, to feel safe, to meet their friends and friends of friends and overall - to feel better and better every single day now, so I have to use this opportunity and do all the best I can now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am telling you, go out there! There is a lot more to experience and even if I feel this is the right city, you never know where your life can bring you. Do what feels right and be up for crazy big changes. That is an unbelievable experience. And you know, what? The right time is now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Was out and about with my new friends in Klunkerkranich (Neukölln, Berlin). But about new friends, friends of friends and how do I meet them - next time.</div>

Enjoy looking at the roofs of Berlin.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After ages of consideration and many changes, I'm back. Almost one year later I can say, this was an intense year. I've graduated from the university, worked for a young and busy start-up, felt in love, travelled a bit, got tired of London and have decided to make a big change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually, even before making that big change, I was standing on the crossroad of my life and was considering to either follow the same road or to spice up the things a little and to jump out of my comfort zone. This felt right, as there was nothing too big keeping me attached to London and three years seemed more than enough, so the day has come. Visiting Berlin for the sixth time, I realised how right it feels to be here. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I call this place home for one month and a half already, and so I can only confirm the fact. It feels right. It is more relaxed, more natural and always alive. This city is charming. And even though you wouldn't expect to see the photos like this on a tourist's camera visiting Berlin - that is exactly what I want you to feel. The real vibe of Berlin and my life in Berlin.</div>

Spending too much time while trying to create a perfect Instagram feed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drinking too much coffee.</div>

8.50am (still don't know which day is today), 2014</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alarm goes on (the 7th time). It is light outside, not a good sign. Definitely not a good sign. First thought "which day is today & do I have to rush?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>8.51am Friday, 21st of Nov, 2014 </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O h yes, I d o h a v e t o r u s h! Overslept the second time this week. Have to be uni in one hour and nine minutes (which means I have to leave in exactly 24minutes). What should I do what should I do? Ok, I am definitely going to be late, come on, we are talking about the photoshoot for my portfolio, I have to get ready. Texted my friend "let's meet 30mins later". Confirmed. I do have 45minutes to go. Not as good as to wake up on time, though slightly better than to have 20 minutes before leaving your home. Luckily one typical morning problem solved, I know what I am going to wear ( my favourite dress from <a href="http://www.stories.com/gb/">& other stories</a> , the most comfortable <a href="http://www.vagabond.com/">Vagabond</a> shoes ever & my every day essential this season - <a href="http://www.casio.co.uk/products/timepieces/">Casio</a> watch ). Things to sort out - to curl my hair & to get a 'good looking book'. Ok, 5 minutes later, I realized - no time for hair, let's be natural.. time for a book...hmm my room doesn't look like a library here, though no time to go to the library too. My eyes got caught by the most beautiful print magazines, which were lying on my night table. That was the answer. Me - shooting with <a href="http://www.kinfolk.com/">Kinfolk</a> and <a href="http://readcereal.com/">Cereal</a> magazines. My two every day inspirations. The biggest inspirations, to be honest. But it's not about that today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>10.32am just met my friend at uni</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rushing to the photo studio. Realized that two more friends, who had to help out this morning didn't show up, but there is no time to think about these things, let's just get started. "Is there any specific mood / lightning that you want to get?" the guy in the studios asked. "Soft lightning, please." My answer was as simple as that (and I do l o v e the lightning). He left, my friend took the camera aaand we began. The start was not as good as expected, though we stayed creative and optimistic. The more we talked, the more natural I felt and enjoyed the time while reading Kinfolk & smiling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just had a chance to take a look at the photos and thought to share few results with you. During this busy time in my life I realized who I am, not who I thought I want to be. I look to these photos now and think: "yap, that's me." It is not the final idea of the photoshoot, as now I am looking for an illustrator, who wants to collaborate & to help me to fulfill my ideas (if you think you can do it and you want to do it, or know someone - please get in touch with me, i'm soo excited!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that's about my daily life. I do what I love - work with visuals & storytell, tho it is like a ping pong. Something weird happens, something good happens, so many things to do, not enough time to plan, so I just do. And smile. I do try to smile all the time. And stay positive. Even though you think that everything is falling apart in your life - stay positive, cause at the end of the day that's the key of creativity & optimism will bring you good emotions. Trust me, it fells much better ))</div>

This post pretty much sums up everything I want to tell you. Messy hair, huge backpack, favourite shoes, optimism, new places, canal, urban background and photos. This is what my life is all about at the moment. The only things that are missing, are my laptop and my phone. But hey, it's Sunday morning! I am more than busy these days, though as you can see (especially in the first photo, which is probably the most natural photo of me ever) - happily busy ! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I was so happy to wake up earlier than usual today, see the sun rising and meeting my friend for a Sunday breakfast by the canal. Some of you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/a_uste">instagram</a> (won't lie, my daily addiction) and see my photos from the places I go to. Oh how happy I am, getting to know so many hippie coffee shops, bars, restaurants, galleries and boutiques. Keep falling in love with London every single day now. Yes, every single day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As my favorite colour these days is black, the photos I did today are surprisingly colourful! Maybe too colourful, cheerful and positive, though I hope some of you like it! The message I want to send you today is very simple. Even though you're tired and busy (as most of us are these days), don't forget to take everything you can from your life. Explore your own city, go to the galleries, drink coffee at your favourite place, draw, read, write, be the observer and the most important thing - learn (i know this is obvious and you know it, but someone had to remind you that)! Learn something new at least once per day. And laugh. Yes, laugh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, and follow me on social media (for my daily thoughts and photos) as I cannot say when the next post is coming (fingers crossed - soon).</div>

Hello, </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won't even start telling how much do I love autumn. Oh yes, I am one of those crazy people, who believe that September 1st is the beginning of a new era. Autumn inspires to focus on your future and to come back to routine, which I actually like. The more you do, the less time you waste. Isn't it true?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talking about the routine and focussing... I got a new job (which I was dreaming about to have during my studies), started to go to the new gym, cannot stop counting last days till my start of the final year at university. Yeah, that's pretty much it, though I am trying to stay focused and be inspired as I wrote <a href="http://arsbenevivendi.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/the-price-of-creativity-being-sponge.html">here</a> before, so persuaded my best friend to go to one of those exhibitions held at the Barbican centre. I don't even remember if I mentioned it somewhere before, though oh believe me, how much do I love this place. I am not even telling about that magical surrounding where you can hide from the busy city of London. All the exhibitions that were held in Barbican so far were the best ones that I have ever seen in my life. They always have something very interesting to offer. And it is not only about art itself anymore it is about being informed in an interesting way as they let you to be a part of it. This particular exhibition is called 'Digital Revolution' (unfortunately it is until September 14th only, so hurry up people in London!) . This immersive and interactive exhibition brings many filmmakers, designers, musicians, architects and game developers all pushing the boundaries of their fields using digital media. I was trying to do some nice photos, unfortunately it was almost a mission impossible as you can experience it only there. Though I am sharing you my favorite look that I have chosen for this day (ages since my last one, isn't it?) and few black and white photos that I made here. Back to routine, back to life, back to writing! Fingers crossed I can share some nice photos and thoughts very very soon! Optimistic greetings!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you decide about your career choice, you have to be sure and passionate about it. Despite the fact we usually change our minds about the decisions we make during the process, we have to do the best we can and to focus. For ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe you are a creative person. And you know what is the best part about it? You have to be always creative, however, you can never turn off. Ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Be interested. Watch everything, read everything, listen to everything, eat, sleep, smell everything - be a sponge. Don't edit your life. Don't be a culture snob." - Flo Heiss (Creative Director | Dare, London)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Commitment. I believe this is the part which we are missing during the process of work. These days people tend to commit only when it comes to relationship. However, you don't leave a person after every single sad or hard moment. You try to find the solutions, to understand your mistakes and to move on. The exactly same thing we should do while working. This type of commitment does not necessarily spark fear, though it most definitely sparks laziness. Is it the right choice? Am I in the right place? The headache of most young creatives these days. However, once you get too interested in other areas, the field of your interest doesn't reach the highest level. Focus. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Creativity is like a library. If you keep taking books out and don't put any in, you eventually won't have any books left." - Siimon Reynolds. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Be interested. Be curious. Commit and focus. </b></div>

It might seem like an easy decision. But it wasn't. To make my hair half grey was a thoughtful commitment and done by my favorite artistic director in London so far.</div>

Especially when we are talking about changing the place from busy London to the calm seaside of the south coast of Great Britain - Brighton. It is just so quite and peaceful there, that you can create a perfect harmony around you. Forests, sea, mountains and nature always inspires me to move on in my life and to think about the future plans more. Cannot regret any second that me and Ruta ( <a href="http://amoureusedemode.blogspot.co.uk/">blog</a> ) spent there. So chilly, beautiful and light. I know I will come back soon, Brighton. You are just too close not to be seen again.</div>

It is not only about my addiction to jumpsuits.
It is about being hidden in the middle of the jungle. Maybe a little bit militaristic today, if you notice me from the other side of the street, but at the same time a jumpsuit with the character.
Add my favorite wedges and a canvas bag (reason = cannot find a nice one) and whoalia - an outfit for a hot Sunday evening. No unnecessary details or layers, just a good <a href="http://amoureusedemode.blogspot.co.uk/">friend</a>, long chat, nice drink and some girly laugh guarantees a good time. The recipe for a lovely evening is sometimes just as simple as that, isn't it?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's be honest. Food has it's own trends, especially during the warm season. Green, healthy and light, right? You do not want to serve fried potatoes anymore, I feel it. As I am doing my first baby steps in the kitchen, the recipes I choose to make are very quick and easy. I have matched two meals as an example for a nice lunch break ( broccoli soup & watermelon pizza ). Eat alone or invite your family, friends or colleagues. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I love broccoli, the idea of making a soup from it sounded amazing. Result? It is delicious, cheap (perfect for a student), healthy and easy to make. Found the recipe <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/member-recipes/Broccoli%20Soup%20/3724">here </a>.</div>

Might count as a desert or can be served as a starter, it is your choice. You might ask for a recipe, but I don't have one. Just turn on your imagination. Although, I recommend it to serve with feta cheese and some chopped basil leaves. Something a little bit different to expect on a plate, isn't it? A perfect way to impress gourmets.

<br />
Must see - Columbia Road Flower Market - good mood, dreamy music and beautiful flowers assured. Found the most beautiful roses - not too pink not too white, a little bit grey, but very charismatic. Good friend, a bunch of perfect roses, big smile and a glass of rosé wine at midday called for a warm and sunny Sunday. Looking more feminine and light while wearing my new white sandals and a vintage blouse for this Mother's Day. Spending it without my Mum, however, flowers were a must of the day.<br />
I think I cannot smile more today, missing only the best family around.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I refreshed my appetite with these <i>Nike Roshe</i> sneakers, dark blue trench coat from <i>H&M</i> and the ring from <i>& other stories</i>. Get ready, you might see these too often. I will try to play around while matching something new all the time - the process of creativity, I call. Never thought that any trench coat might look nice with sneakers. Never before my life in London. Good style and fashion is all about the sneakers now. Is it only a trend or is the heel dead? My relationship ended up with them last year, but I don't like saying bye too often, so let's say <i>'see you later, heel</i>' and thanks to sneakers for making our daily lives easier and quicker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So - it is plain and minimalistic, a little bit elegant, a little bit sporty, but perfect for every day - my new favorite outfit inspired by every day rush in London.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Do you wear sneakers?</i></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the weather is just getting more and more unexpected in this big and grey city, the daily life becomes a routine very quickly. Not too many things to do, but at the same time a lot is planned for the future. The day starts with a cup of coffee and finishes with a pot of green tea. As usual. But you just have to keep yourself moving <u><i>forward</i></u> all the time, to watch your progression daily or well, at least weekly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But you know, every time I stop and think. Is it what the youth should look like? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I imagined my life full of daily surprises and parties every weekend. Especially from the moment, when I moved to live alone. I wanted something unexpected. To sleep during the days and to live during the nights. I thought that that is the freedom. I am a student. This is how a student's life should look like. Indeed, lots of my friends live like that. But you know, after last year, I realized that this is not who I want to be. This is not my life. I want to wake up early and to have a long day, when I don't feel pain because of the last sleepless night. I want to feel fresh and alive. To be proud of myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I like to plan my thirty days in advance, to decide what should I do during the new period. From things as cleaning something or saving money to university projects, work, learning something new and doing sports. Well, I am that kind of person. A person, who likes to think in advance, to plan and to organize. This is my daily inspiration to myself. And believe me, I like to go out from time to time or to forget everything and just to let it flow, but it is measured and not daily.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, this post was meant to introduce my new topic on the blog. I have decided to do the list of recommendations, things that makes me happy. From shops and products to good and easy recipes and my favorite music. Life recommendations (or happiness) through my eyes. </div>

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86201134@N02/13969341041" title="lechocolate by austip, on Flickr"><img alt="lechocolate" height="975" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2920/13969341041_4651be9522_o.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />
The second day of Easter I have decided not only to enjoy a day off, to watch a movie, to have a long morning and to run, but to actually bake something for my favorite people in London. And thanks to Beata <i>( who always helps for some easy food inspirations, <a href="http://www.beatosvirtuve.lt/">blog</a> )</i> and to my mum, who found this recipe - I made a chocolate cake, which is unbelievably good. Trust me, it is so easy to make and so delicious that every chocolate lover will fall in love with it. I've decided to make the simplest version of it.<br />
<br /></div>
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/86201134@N02/13969341471" title="chocolatecakerecipe by austip, on Flickr"><img alt="chocolatecakerecipe" height="525" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2938/13969341471_eed7f7bb66_o.jpg" width="700" /></a>Once you have all the ingredients for this chocolate sin, it is as easy as to follow these steps:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>* </b>Melt dark chocolate and butter together.</li>
<li><b>*</b> At the mean time mix eggs and sugar.</li>
<li><b>*</b> Slowly pour the melted mixture of chocolate and butter to the mixture of eggs and sugar.</li>
<li><b>*</b> Once you have a smooth mixture add the rest of the ingredients very slowly, while mixing everything. Try to do mixing and pouring at the same time <i>(do not rush).</i></li>
<li><i><b>*</b> </i>Pour the mixture to the baking tin <i>(</i> <i>it is amazing if you use baking paper, it makes your life easier after ).</i> </li>
<li>* Turn oven to 170 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Less baked is better than overbaked. </li>
</ul>
<i>TIPS:</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>*</b> This chocolate cake is much better when it is cold, so for the best result put it to the fridge <i>( cover it to avoid the smell )</i> and enjoy the next day or at least after few hours.</li>
<li><b>*</b> The author of this recipe recommends to put peanut butter in some parts of the cake to make it more characteristic. However, if you do not like it, try to put some nuts, slices of white chocolate or milk chocolate with nuts. Experiment!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
I put some strawberries and peaches on the top of this cake just to make it more springy, even though, I don't know if their flavor matches here. For the best result enjoy this brownie with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee or tea. For a more posh version drink it with a glass of wine, but trust me and try it. I promise, it is very easy and very quick. Show your knowledge and talent of baking and surprise all the people around you. It is as easy as to try. And yes, I know, summer is coming we all live a healthy lifestyle now, but one sin per week is a must to live happily, so if you have it, then at least have a homemade. </div>

My very first time, while celebrating alone. However, I am happy enough to prepare myself a proper Easter breakfast / brunch feast and watch a really nice and cozy movie - t o a s t ! Light weekend, no rush and good music follows after.<br />
<br />
Be happy, appreciate the moment and dream! Always dream. And believe. It is spring time everywhere.<br />

Light colors | Blue | White. Something simple and minimalistic. Fresh and light. Maybe a little bit breezy and cold, but made with love. A post made with love. I feel it. It is me. This is who I always wanted to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I stand for simplicity and minimalism or experimenting and qualitative maximalism. I stand for honesty with yourself. I stand for brave changes and good friends. Family, reliability, chocolate, hobbies, good music, long mornings, art and life... | Explore yourself. It is called happiness.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Capture a moment. Capture it in your own way, put some filters and whoalia, you're almost a blogger. Yes, indeed. Many people have their Tumblr, Pinterest, Instargram accounts - places where they show their inspirations and share the moments of their lives. However, there is a category of people, who uses almost all the platforms and bring them all to that one platform - their own blog. No need to explain what is a blog. You're visiting one at the moment. Hopefully, you enjoy it and like to visit me from time to time. Yes, my blog - is me. My blog is about my own view to the life. To my life. The life, which might look very colorful, optimistic and only full of happiness. Yes, I am trying to fulfill every second of my life with that, but are the bloggers, who they are or is it only an image?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best example to write about for me - is me. I know what I do and why I do it. Many people hate others, who post about everything that they like without any reason. Just because they want to. Well, probably I am that kind of person. I won't lie. I like to share. I like to share the moments from my life, because I believe that sharing your happiness with others is good.That is why I started blogging. You might inspire a person to travel, to visit, to enjoy his / hers life. You share, because you think that others might like the same kind of music, clothes or movies as well. They might respond to you and to share something with you as well. You like to share photos, because you want to improve and to show everything through your own lens. And actually, you are improving a lot, while writing a blog. Communication, writing, editing become much easier fields for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Blogging is a hobby. Is the way of exploring and enjoying. The real blogging is about sharing from you heart, while the fake one, for the fame. It is not that hard to understand while reading the blogs who is who. Blogging from the heart is an honest wish to inspire someone at least to smile, while the fake blogging is like a must job, without any big reason to post.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life through the pink glasses. Oh sorry, through the blog. People tend to post and write only about the best things in their lives. And it is normal. I do that sometimes, lots of people do that, but it is not only about it, actually. There are some hard and tiring moments of your life. Honestly, it is about how a blogger creates his / hers image. It might look like you're buying clothes every day, spending your money on good food, while in reality you not only buy it and share it, but you work hard to get it. Bloggers just tend not to mention about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the most important thing is that blogging takes lots of time. If you're writing a blog, you want a response. That is for sure. It means social media, which takes a huge amount of time. Photos, writing and everything else takes time as well. And believe me, sometimes even more than you could think. But it is so good to read a good blog. A quality blog. An inspiring blog. A beautiful blog. Isn't it? And the best responses during the time of blogging makes you feel proud of your own baby - blog. There are some moments, when you're so happy you have it, you enjoy doing it, so why not? It is your hobby, it is your way of expressing yourself. Don't trend to follow the other, be yourself. Don't listen what people around you say. Write what you want to write about, take photos of what you want to take. It is your life and you create it.</div>

Smile! Sun is brighter and evenings are longer now, right? Hope you didn't forget to change the time today on your lovely watches. As everything is just getting better and better, we have to smile! It is the best way to start your morning, day, week, month... To meet your friends, parents or even people that you have never seen before.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had such a lovely day yesterday. I was not working, so the first thing was ... that I can wake up without my alarm and enjoy my long long morning (which is the best part of the day for me). Coffee and breakfast | brunch time, then I met my friend. I won't tell you anymore how much do I love Notting Hill, but oh, my. It is just so perfect. Especially, during the spring time. The day was even better, because, I believe it was the warmest day of the year so far and we were even enjoying delicious ice cream, which reminded me about our trip to Rome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some nice girly chat, lunch after and chill at the park made my Saturday very happy. I have no idea, though, why the hell I have decided to wear black leather clothes, however, these yellow tights made everything look more spring'ish and brighter. I just love this color now! As well, as I love my new sunglasses so much. Even more, I have tried matte nail polish for the very first time, which is white and I adore it. Honestly, it is amazing. I have never thought that I might like white nails before. Things might change. And as you can see, I am very excited and happy about everything right now because, I believe, of one huge reason - sun. Thank you, sun.<br />

Meet my new spring details. Some details to spice up my individuality. To be honest, I always used to love the idea - refresh for a new season. I believe that this is just a perfect beginning for something new, something different. To start with some new attributes and to play around them. </div>

This shopping was unplanned and very quick. However, I felt in love with all this stuff, from the moment I saw it. Some patterns and plain colors . C a n n o t wait to match all these items.</div>

Thank you, Topshop, for making our shoppings quicker and wallets lighter.</div>

Hello hello. When you get a day off after a while and it is raining...you just try to pretend how everything is nice and to hide in red roses. Well, optimism helps in every life situation, that's for sure. Met Ruta (<a href="http://amoureusedemode.blogspot.co.uk/">blog</a>) on Wednesday afternoon. As the weather is changing a lot here these days, we were just trying to hide in a coffee shop and a restaurant after. It is so good to meet a person that inspires you and thinks alike. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite the fact about the weather, we are both having university holidays now, so there are more time for some nice things to do. Hopefully, the weather is getting better again and everyone will go to the parks just to relax, chill and smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the mean time, I understood, that minimalism is a new trend in my life. Trying to wear less unnecessary details and match everything smoothly. Well, the time is going to show, how easy it is going to be not to wear layers in this city, which is full of surprises daily.</div>
