These days you can't open any magazine or page on that matter that doesn't scream of big ass, plastic surgery, too much exercising, diet and other dumb shit that famous people with too much money do because they are not able to accept the simple fact. They are getting old. And no amount of money can change that. They can maybe prolong that, but years will catch up with them, sooner or latter. Nobody ever escapes from years and eventually death.
I don't know where is the problem? I mean wrinkles mean you laughed, gray hair means you cared and scares means you lived. Am not saying that getting old means you give up, don't wash your hair and just sit in sweatpants. You can still dress up, put on some make up, and look nice. And wear the fu*k out of the wrinkles and your years. Point is you get old gracefully. You accept the fact that you lived long enough to learn, to become more wiser. Do they know how lucky they are? More and more young people die, weather it is from being sick or from accidents. Do they know that being old in this time seems to be a privilege?
I mean if you think about it, we were born with a clean, blank canvas. While years are passing by someone gets freckles, stretch marks, scares and all other evidence that we lived. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? Look at you now, look how far you made it. :)
Life is a miracle, and getting old is a good thing. It is a gift. Life gave you time to enjoy in your family and friend company, Maybe you got a chance to get old together with the love of your life or maybe even to see your children and grandchildren grow up. Isn't that something amazing? Isn't that something we all should look forward instead of being afraid?
Besides, being older doesn't means you can't do all crazy dumb things that you did when you were younger, it just means you will do them in slower way. :)
Wear your age gracefully, don't let age wear you. :)
Remember, it is not how old you look, it is how young you feel.
Good luck to us all. ;)
Am just a girl who is trying to figure out her place in the world, who is trying to find her way by enjoying and doing what is her passion.

BE YOUR OWN HERO!
My mom always tells me that from every life of every person on this planet you can write a story. And a damn good one. Best selling books.
Because everyone has its own stories to tell.
Everyone has something that broke them, something that lift them up.
Everyone has its big love, huge crash of the same love.
Everyone has its own fights, its own defeats and victory.
Everyone has their own lessons they learned on a hard way.
So while thinking about that, I was wondering one thing.
What sets us apart from one another?
I mean we all have some stories to tell,
people we love, people that love us,
our fights and ups and downs.
Lost loves, missed chances and loved ones that died.
We all have tears and smiles.
Good and bad days.
We all have dream, hope, faith
and we all search that one thing
that will make us happy and calm.
So if everyone has its own stories to tell,
life that can write a book,
what is that one thing that sets apart one
story author from another?
And then it hit me. I knew the answer.
It is the way they carry their stories.
The way they tell it.
There are some people out there that have been trough so much,
that are tired and lost and are fighting
with their last atom of power
but we can't see that on them.
They still smile, they still have time to make others smile
and you know what? They carry their story and not the
other way around. They took everything that happen to them,
accept it and let it make them wiser and stronger.
And you will never hear that author of that life story
telling it in a way that he/she will put him/herself in a victim position.
Because you know what, he/she is not a victim.
Those people are fighters and survivors.
They are heroes of their own story.
So that is the difference.
So one day when you tell your story,
don't forget that you can choose what are
you going to be, hero or victim.
Is your story of life going to be full
of adventures and used chances,
or full of fear and regret.
It is up to all of you to decide,
because you know what.
You are your writer and author
of your own story and your life.
Every day write a good chapter of your book.
Because everyone has its own stories to tell.
Everyone has something that broke them, something that lift them up.
Everyone has its big love, huge crash of the same love.
Everyone has its own fights, its own defeats and victory.
Everyone has their own lessons they learned on a hard way.
So while thinking about that, I was wondering one thing.

FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT!
Yesterday I was talking to my cousin who is 18 years old and she just finished high school and she doesn't know what to do next. She doesn't know will she study something and if she will what, or she can maybe find a job and work or both. She is trying to find herself and it seems to her like everyone knows what to do and that all of her friends got their shit together except her.
I just smiled while she was telling me that because I remember me in that exact situation after high school.
She told me like it is not funny and that it is easy for me when am keeping my shit together, I finished college and I have job.
And I started to laugh even harder and I asked her: "You really think that I or even your friends are keeping our shit together?"
And she was like: "Yeah, everyone except me!"
And I told her: "OK, listen to me now. I will tell you how my day went. I got up, and just as I reached door of my room to open them, I hit my little toe and I was jumping on one leg like an idiot. Then I went to bathroom, I took shower and my shampoo fall down and hit my leg again and I swore every bad word that I could think of in that moment. I dressed up and on half of my way to work place I remember I forgot my phone. So I came back for it, and I was late for work. Then I made three mistakes and while fixing them I had to stay hour extra, so instead 8 I worked 9 hours. Then I went and took two cakes and eat it all and after that I took ice cream and I could feel how am getting 5 pounds extra. But I already made my peace with the fact I won't have "summer body" this year so screw it. Then person that is closed to me told me that his mom is sick so I got stressed about that too, and I already spend my paycheck and it is not even close to the end of the month. So tell me, does that sound like a person that has her shit all together!??"
Now it was her turn to laugh. So when I heard her laughing, I started to laugh too.
And she was like: "But I swear you do look like you got your shit together, even though I was obviously wrong!" And she continues to laugh.
I told her: "Sweetie, nobody has his shit together all the time, not me, nor your friends, not even your parents. Nobody has it all together all the time. Am 25 years old and I still don't know what a hell do I want, but I will figure it out and so will you. Promise."
She just nodded.
And I asked her does she want to know my secret, and she said yes.
The I told her the secret: "Fake it until you make it!"
And she started to laugh again, and so did I.
And she was like: "Little toe? That had to hurt!?"
I said: "Like a mother fu*ker!"
Then she said good point: "How the hell do you survive the day without accidentally killing yourself?"
We were laughing so hard to that and I said to her that it beats the hell out of me.
So to all of you guys out there who thinks that everybody has their shit together except you, it is a lie. The only difference between you and them is in an attitude. That is it. Nobody is perfect, and everybody falls apart from time to time and we are all humans.
Fake it until you make it.
Just hold on all of you out there. ;)

AM TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!
Friday night, me and my girlfriend, girls night out, night club, loud music, high heels, alcohol and very very bright colored lights. Sounds fun, right?
And it was for like hour and a half. Then half drunk and drunk idiots started to make moves on us, and honestly I wasn't drunk enough to tolerate that, my feet started to protest with pain because I made them stay for that long in freaking high heels and in that moment, everything started to annoy me. And I thought to myself: "Damn, am old!"
I mean am 25 years old and before you start to judge me, just listen. I have been going out since I was 15 years old. Of course, in that time I had to be home by midnight but still. How I was getting older, my freedom become bigger. So all in all there is like 10 years behind me of going out, loud music and drunk idiots and standing for hours in high heels while all colored lights are going in my eyes and honestly for them now I need sunglasses.
So yeah, am a bit old for this and frankly am tired.
Few years ago I wouldn't even notice all this that I notice now, I would just shake it off like Taylor Swift, but in 10 years I really got enough.
I couldn't leave because my friend was having fun and I didn't want to be party breaker so I knew that I need alcohol to survive this night.
So I was drinking not to get drunk, but just enough to become numb at everything around me and I enjoyed few good songs DJ was playing and I was thinking how good it would be that instead of this I went to a dinner, few glasses of wine and maybe afterwords some movie. It would be nice to be in a place where I could actually hear person talking to me.
But hour by hour and the night was over, so because club is near my house, I put my friend in taxi, and I walked barefoot while I was holding my purse in one hand and in other my heels. I need some air and peace.
I came home, showered and I slept like a baby. In the morning hangover kick in and while I was trying not to die I thought to myself: "Am too old for this shit!"
So yeah people, me and Mr Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon are too old for all kind of shits.
So I barely survived work with my hangover and when my friend texted me to go out again, I was like thanks but no thanks. So I bought myself my favorite cake, I put on some movie and I snuggled up in my sweet bed and I had the best Saturday night.
So for all of you guys who are young but kind of the old soul, any movies to recommend? :)

IT'S JUST LIFE, NOTHING PERSONAL
So the other day I was talking to someone about its job and the fact that he is taking everything too personal, when he should think of it like just a job. I was telling him to stop stressing about what his boss is telling him or about how much work he has. He should just do the best he can, and when his work hours are done, he should leave his job and all problem there. Not to bring it home. Because, like I said, it is just business, nothing personal.
Then I was thinking about it and it crossed my mind that the same advice I gave to him, we can all use in life too. Not just for work, but for everything that comes in our way.
I mean think about it. Everything good and bad that happens, it is just life. Bad things happen to us so that we can appreciate them when they are good. Evil wouldn't exist without good, and the other way around. How can we enjoy a good laugh if we don't know how does it feel to be sad and cry? Everything in this world needs balance. Did you ever see a good person that is going trough something bad and you thought to yourself: "That is so not fair, he/she is good person and he/she doesn't deserve it!"
Life is not fair and it is not supposed to be fair. It is messy and complicated, but it is also fun, beautiful and it has its moments.
Good and bad things will happen to all of us from time to time, and that has nothing to do with the fact are we a good person or not. It has nothing to do with what we ever did in life and it has nothing to do with karma and punishment. It is just life. Complicated, beautiful, difficult, messy life that needs balance.
What if we could train ourselves, our brain and our emotions in that way. To be objective, to not take things too personal?
What if every day we would tell ourselves: "It's just life, nothing personal!" and in that way we would day by day change our perspective about it.
Don't you think that it would make life and everything that happens to you much easier?
Once I read that life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react to it.
It is worth to try it at least, right?
Anyway, if we do the best of what we can do each day, that is good enough.

BLOG-LIFE AT ITS BEST
So this post is all about girls. And everyone who feels like it. :)
I think that there is small number of girls who never have to fight battle with a broken nail. And that looks nasty because we take care of them so long, so much time invested in them, just that one nail can broke and make the rest of them look ugly. And you know that feeling when you should cut them all because of that one broken? Yeah, all effort goes in a toilet.
So I was googling and trying to find some solution about it, and I run into one blog and I have to tell you girls, I love it. That girl is miracle worker, because not only that she found a way to fix that broken nail, she also had lots of other ideas.
http://lifeaib.blogspot.ba/2016/03/how-to-fix-broken-nail-kako-popraviti.html
I was going trough her blog and I was impressed. She explains all easy and she writes her posts on two languages, English and Croatian.
Her name is Alisa, Stuttgard/BIH and she will definitely help you live your life at its best.
http://lifeaib.blogspot.ba/
So while I was trying to find some more helpful tips, I run into post about contouring. I think we all heard about Kim Kardashian and this contouring is her territory. I have to admit, I suck in that. I even don't know what to buy and how to do that, but luckily , this girl in blog knows her magic.
http://lifeaib.blogspot.ba/2016/04/loreal-indefectible-sculpt-contouring.html
So on my next paycheck am getting all Loreal equipment and I will try to do contouring without looking like a clown. Hopefully. :)
And I would like to single out one more post that I loved, because I really needed help with that, and now I found it. Post is about perfect foundation for all skin types. It was always hard for me to figure out what foundation my skin needs and what label product is good for it.
http://lifeaib.blogspot.ba/2016/04/how-to-choose-perfect-foundation.html
So girls if you need a little bit of help with your beauty tips and improving life style, you should check out this blog. It is worth your time. :)

ROLES WE PLAY-THE SHOW MUST GO ON
I was thinking recently about human life. Life in general. It seems to me that life is like one theater play and each and every one of us has its own role in it. With different scripts but the same director-Destiny.
If you think about it for a second, you will see am kind of right. From day one you were born, your role is that you are someones child. If you are not first born, then you get two roles, like I did. You become someones child and someones brother or sister. So from the start parents are teaching you how to play your roles. Respect parents so that you will play good child role. Take care of brother or sister, because when your parents die one day, you will have each other.
Then you get little bit older, you make friends and there you go. You just got another role. You are someones friend. Then you fall in love, you enter relationship and you find yourself in one completely different role. You are someones girlfriend or boyfriend and I think that one is much more interesting. Because that role wakes up in us feelings that we didn't know even exist before we fall in love.
And while you are growing up and our roles are adding up. You are someones student, latter you are someones work colleague, maybe one day even someones boss. Then if we are lucky, we find that person we want to spend our life with. From someones girlfriend or boyfriend we become someones wife or husband. Latter maybe even someones parents, and that role is the most difficult one, but brings so much pleasure.
But there is not the end, list of roles trough life is huge, like someones son in law, brother in law, mother in law, father-in-law, somebody's grandparents, mistress, lover and so on and so on. List is endless. I just mentioned basic roles.
I guess what I was trying to say, for all you guys there who lost someone, who lost one role in their life, just hold on tight to all other roles you've got. And let them help you and you will live trough it. That is why God and Destiny gave us so much roles to play, to make it easier in life when we lose one. Because like in theater, so in life-The show must go on. Life goes on.
Just hold on folks. :)
