after midnight rants

Hello guys,

So today after almost 12 hour shift at work I can barely move a muscle but I am actually really happy since I am feeling better then yesterday. I had all these plans made out to do a photo shoot or at least start on my university project or the very least to fill my portfolio with more work. But none of those happened. I could not lift my head of the pillow and I was dying inside from a massive headache, wisdom tooth pain and fever. But today is a new day (since it's after 2 a.m) and I am feeling a slight more positive then usual. A few days ago I finished my low carb high fat diet which is a relief since I was craving sugar so badly, but on the up side the diet made me lose 6 kg which is great. Basically the diet is based on the recent studies that say that it is not the fat that makes us fat but the carbohydrates (a.k.a carbs) and sugars that come from food. Basically our body needs sugar for energy but all the excess sugar we consume is stored in our body as fat. Cutting it out from your nutrition it makes your body go to ketosis which means your body starts to take energy from the fat stored in your body and burns it for you to keep having energy. Although you can not do this for too long so that's why my diet took only two weeks. But if I could survive without sweets, fruits, bread and pasta I think anyone can. And after that as a reward after the diet I bought myself my favourite coffee of the season- the Pumpkin spice Latte.



Last week was also  the week of some more changes then just my nutrition. I also decided to change my hair a little bit and went much darker for autumn. I know I loved my ombre and I had it for a long time but for the past few months I've been trying to cover it up since it damaged the ends of my hair so hard. After a few horrible attempts I went to the hairdresser and after two sessions one which was last month and one that was last week my hair is finally in one tone and is evenly one colour. I am really happy with the results, but let me know what you think.



Furthermore, now I'm thinking to start to do some reviews on the shows I liked or hated after the fashion month is over. Anyway I'm sure my comments about the shows after I have watched them all online would not be interesting for everyone but until then let me know what you think.

Paris diaries

Hello lovelies.I am back after a while and after my holiday from work. I had an awful first day back to work today, but thinking what to write about my trip to Paris fixed my mood. It was so good in there I can't even put into words. I fell in love with the city, the food, the people and everything in there. I spent there only four days and spend a lot of money in there, but I don't regret anything. I was staying at my friends boyfriends house with her. And he lived only an hour away from the center so we used the train and the subway often and believe me the only thing that I didn't like was the subway, it's horrible, London subway compared to it is heaven.

So I flew to Paris very early only with an hour of sleep in bed and some sleep on the plane. I arrived very early and we spend most of the day sightseeing. I visited most of the famous places though I had only a few hours of sleep but I was running on excitement the whole time. We started of with the beautiful Eifel tower and waited in the big que in the cold to get to the top but it was all worth it because the view and the experience is just indescribable. Then we walked around and warmed up with some coffee and then we took a walk in the Chanse de Lise until the Arc de Triumph. Then followed Moulan Rouge and Louvre. And the fun wasn't over when we got home because then my friends boyfriend took us to a club with his friends.



After the club we had just a few hours of sleep and went to Disneyland. It was so so good that I went out from every ride shaking and in shock, because we did only the scariest rides, but luckily we got amazing weather and the sun was shining all day long. 



The next day me and my friend went to see the beautiful Notre Dame in the amazing sunny weather. Then we had lunch in a cafe near and met some guys on the way who walked with us to the beautiful Grand Palace where all the fashion shows took place. Even though it was Paris Fashion week at that time there was no shows at that time. I got sad that the Chanel show was held the next day there but the place itself was really beautiful so at least i didn't feel empty handed. After that my friend took me to Opera which is probably the most luxurious clothing store I have ever been to. It's so so beautiful inside that it took my breath away.



The last day we wanted to go somewhere but we were just too tired so we stayed in bought a lot of food and packed to go home. 

 

So that's all from my trip to Paris, let me know what you think!

lazy sundays

To be honest not only the Sundays are lazy. I stopped reading fashion blogs and websites and got a bit lazy. To be honest if I wanna study something like fashion journalism I need to stop being lazy and post here more, read more and etc. None of my fashion magazines are read from cover to cover and now I'm making it my mission to not be so lazy and post every day that I find time, because to be honest I get post ideas constantly, but I just never seem to find time. I seem to always find time for my favourite shows, because we all know I'm a tv show junkie but I missed the days when I was a junkie for this. Yes I do work a lot I barely have time for anything, but I need to learn how to balance my time. And one phrase I read is always stuck in my head. If you want something really badly you find a way if not you find an excuse.

Prisipažinsiu, apleidau visus mados tinklaraščius ir blogus. Namuose susikaupė krūva neperskaitytų mados žurnalų ir ką dėl to galiu kaltinti, tai tik save. Pasižiūrėti serialus visada sugebu atrasti laiko, na dabar rasiu laiko visiem mėgstamiem dalykam. Taigi pasižadėjau nebieškoti priežasčių kodėl nepadariau to ar ano, o tiesiog imti ir viską daryti. Vienas iš mėgstamiausiu man pasakymų dabar yra man įstrigęs atmintyje ir jis kaip mažas varikliukas stumia mane pirmyn- jeigu kažko labai nori randi būdą kaip tai padaryti, jei to nori nepakankamai randi pasiteisinimus. Tiesa pasakius aš labai daug dirbu ir labai dažnai man šauna minčių ką norėčiau parašyti, bet aš tai nerandu laiko tai pamirštu ir tiesa pasakius jeigu noriu studijuotikažką tokio  kaip mados žurnalistika šito blogo aš nenoriu apleisti, nes jis man taip pat ir teika daug džiaugsmo.



This also goes for my working out. I somehow managed to get up a thew mornings and go for a jog. This actually led to getting a cold because it's freezing cold outside, but I don't mind as long as I keep track of my goals. And one of them is finding a new gym when I come back from my holiday in November.

Tas pats galioja ir sportavimui. Sporto sale sakiau praėsiu lankyt jauy betkuria jeigu neiišsirenku nei vienos per tiek laiko. Netgi pradėjau karts nuo karto rytais pabegiot prieš darbą ir tai privedė prie peršalimo, bet ko galima tikėtis kai lauke taip šalta.



Also as much as I love London and all it's fashion I terribly missed home and my friends. Soo I bought plane tickets home! It's just for five days in November but still it's better then nothing. The main reason is that I actually need to take my paperwork that I finished school, but I'm planning to make everyday "back home" count.

O jeigu jau prakalbau apie atostogas, tai lapkričiui nusipirkau bilietūs į taip pasiilgta Lietuvėlę, nes reik pasiimti mokyklos baigimo atestatą taigi pasiemiau penkias dienas atostogų ir galėsiu jas puikiai praleist su taip pasiilgtom draugėm.



That's all of my rants for now. I hope to post here more often, no more excuses
lots of love A xx
