Beyond My Control

(Ph. by Olha Brajko)

Monday, everyone! There's nothing better than a cup of coffee and something sweet to start a week, so I've decided to go with this delicious caramel macchiato and a piece of red velvet cake. I am enjoying my holidays in the best way possible and still charging my batteries before the new semester at my university starts. I know, some people would like to spend their holidays in an active way and go skiing somewhere in the mountains, but I do all the regular stuff, like meeting my friends, relaxing and not hurrying anywhere. And what do you do in the meantime?

Хорошего понедельника всем! Нет ничего лучше, чем чашка кофе и что-нибудь сладенькое, чтобы начать новую неделю, потому я решила сделать это с невероятно вкусным карамель маккиато и кусочком "Красного бархата". Я пытаюсь насладиться каникулами сполна и зарядить свои батарейки перед тем, как начнется новый семестр в моем университете. Некоторые люди предпочитают проводить их отпуск активно и едут кататься в горы, но я занимаюсь вполне обычными вещами - встречаюсь с друзьями, отдыхаю и просто никуда не спешу. А чем сейчас заняты Вы? 

Just #LVIV It

Hello there! I am happy to present this cool set of images that I was truly thrilled to show you. It's been a week or so that I've come to my hometown to spend some time with my beloved family after spending several days in the western capital of Ukraine - Lviv, Lemberg, Leopolis, or just the city of the lion. I've already been to Lviv a couple of times before, but I haven't really had an opportunity to explore the city, so I've obviously seen much more during this trip compared to what I'd experienced the previous times. Lviv is such a wonderful city. I've been impressed by how spiritual the downtown was, with all these architectural landmarks, cute shops and coffee places - I had such a blast being there and discover the city. I certainly can't wait to be back and explore some more!

Привет! Я рада наконец представить Вам эту крутую подборку фотографий, которой я так хотела с Вами поделиться. Уже почти неделя прошла, как я приехала в родной город, чтобы провести время со своей семьей после нескольких дней в западной столице Украины - Львове, Лемберге, Леополисе, или просто городе Льва. Я уже была во Львове несколько раз, но у меня не было возможности осмотреть город как следует, так что я определенно увидела во время этой поездки намного больше. Львов - это потрясающий город. Меня впечатлил его дух своими градостроениями, милыми магазинчиками и кофейнями - восторг от возможности побывать там и познакомиться с этим городом не покидает меня. Я определенно не могу дождаться, чтобы вернуться и узнать Львов еще больше!

When It's Pure

Hey there, sweet pies! Hope you are doing well and having a great weekend. It's been a while since I last wrote here, but I was just a little bit busy enjoying the summer. One more reason for that gap in blogging was my broken MacBook charger, which caused a lot of problems for me, but everything is okay now. 

I don't do much during these weeks actually, but time flies so quickly that I don't even feel it and, as usual, I'm very unhappy about the future end of the summer. Please don't think that I'm not optimistic at all, but who is happy about the end of the vacation? In any way, we still have plenty of time to go to the seaside, to travel more or to go to the mountains! The top season for all fresh fruit and vegetables is on and we are able to get as many vitamins till the next summer as it is possible, so don't be lazy to go to the nearest market and buy some berries or a watermelon. Mmm...Yummy!

And now we are ready to discuss my favorite topic: the h-e-a-t! Summer is cool, ye... but it's too hot everywhere! My air conditioner is working all the time, when I'm at home. I have no ideas what to wear, but I've found peace and love in the nearest parks with fountains. I am planning to have some days by the pool, maybe (cannot believe I'm actually saying this, because I never do that) my aristocratic skin color might get tanned a bit, too... Thumbs up for that!

Привет, пирожочки! Надеюсь, что у Вас все в порядке и Вы отлично проводите выходные. Прошло немного времени с тех пор, как я в последний раз тут что-то писала, но я была слишком занята, наслаждаясь летом. Еще одна причина перерыва в моем блоге - это моя зарядка от МакБука, которая доставила мне немного хлопот, но уже все исправно и в рабочем состоянии.

На самом деле, я мало чем занята в эти недели, но время летит так быстро, что я даже не чувствую его и, как обычно, я очень не рада будущему концу лета. Не подумайте, что я вовсе не оптимистична, но кто радуется концу отдыха? В любом случае, у нас еще есть достаточно времени чтобы съездить на море, больше путешествовать или побывать в горах! Сезон свежих фруктов и овощей еще продолжается и мы можем получить все нужные витамины до следующего лета, потому не ленитесь сходить до ближайшего рынка и приобрести ягодки или арбузик. Ммм... Вкуснятина!

А сейчас мы все готовы обсудить мою любимую тему: ж-а-р-а! Летом здорово, да... но оно слишком жаркое! Мой кондиционер работает практически все время, когда я дома, и у меня исчерпались идеи по поводу того, что надеть, но я нашла мир и покой в ближайших парках с фонтанами. Еще я планирую провести несколько дней у бассейна и может, (не могу поверить, что говорю это, потому что я никогда этого не делаю) даже придам загар своему аристократическому цвету кожи, но посмотрим...
