PeSuit and Tie

  work this week almost broke my spirit - just difficult issues to handle left and right, and while i tried practicing being zen, and i even did my confession at the beginning of the week, i still called sib bitching about work on my way home.  i had good friday off and i was happy to focus on church obligations for the holiday, rather than everyday work stuff. thankfully, the croatian catholic church keeps you busy. friday  procession and bowing to the cross, saturday  blessing of the food, and sunday  the actual easter mass. not to mention numerous other events we don't attend. the weather was pleasant all weekend long (sans easter day), making church outfits fun to style, and it was a great opportunity to take afternoon walks, see friends, and have good food outside. astrology and religion kind of match here with the "rejuvenation" trope, the reawakening and rebirth. new year should start now - people would probably find better motivation to complete their re...

  this week's inspo: a spring rejuvenated face - how i try to achieve the perfect glow and let the sun bring back some color, a look back at march top 10 looks, and an observation on what was trending among the pews during easter mass. zen face still stuck on the zen-x aesthetic i shared about last week, i have been attempting to add that zen minimalism into my life. i realize what's working and what's just - not in my practice.  zen-x wellness - the yoga, healthy living part - especially skincare, this has been the most appealing part.  i wanted to share what i use to get the "spring face". warning: my face is still pale, but in a week or so the sun will bring back the blush. hair:  - i use drops of rosemary oil (mielle) before washing it.  face: - exfoliate using the ordinary  aha-bha mask.  - ziaja olive oil infused cream - got it in cro after mom recommended this brand. absolutely hydrating. i mix it with the cerave  spf 50 sunscreen. lips: ...

  this week i share my travelogue  of sib and mine weekend trip to the columbus' suburbia. my work bestie recommended sib and i do a weekend trip and visit westerville, a quaint suburb of columbus. sib and i aching to get out the house after such a winter hibernation, we booked a hotel there and decided to leave friday after work, then spend a full day and leave on sunday. while it's not fully spring yet and the first night and morning were cold, no snow or rain caught us at all.  day #1 left a bit late because sib's work dragged on. got a mcdonalds fish filet sandwich and we rode into the sunset, arriving at dusk. as we check in, the front desk girl mentioned a "heated pool". sib and i perked up. neither brought bathing suits. we usually don't utilize amenities and seldom get a hotel that even has a pool. so we drag ourselves to target to grab some necessities, including flip flops and bathing suits. i dreaded every moment of spending for stuff i know i have ...
