“The Wife”
Long since I haven’t experienced such deep delight in the combination of magnificent acting, intense dialogue, almost theatrical atmosphere, beautiful music and devastatingly suppressed emotions which sweep the luster of a comfortable facade. Glenn Close shines with all her power and Jonathan Pryceis a worthily match. The result – a powerful and raising questions movie. based on Meg Wolitzer’s novel.

“The Year of Living Danishly”
I came across a presentation of Helen Russel a couple of years ago while I was browsing in youtube about the life in Scandinavia. She is a British journalist who moved for a year in Denmark after her husband received an offer at Lego. Thus her first book is born: The Year of Living Danishly. I have suspected for a long time that my husband a I have something Scandinavian (minimalism, aesthetics, love for a simple and modern design, respect of the aesthetics in the public environment too, which unfortunately is a lost cause in Bulgaria, instinctive attainment of the now popular hygga – the home-made coziness with several candles and…

“Genius: Picasso”
I knew that the second season of Genius would be inspiration, contemplation and very much needed context, as if a long time ago you had started putting together a puzzle of somebody’s live, but you missed pieces and reasons.

I present to you: Mahabis
Photos found on Mahabis Facebook Page – copyright belongs to the rightful owners. For a while I’ve been developing my Instagram profile and while spending all that time there, my attention got on an ad of Mahabis. And well… love in first sight! Seeing no more than few pictures I knew: I want them! And I got them as a Christmas gift, they were immediately put on and there is no force on earth that can make me take them off now. The company is based in London, the production is in Portugal. And since we are suspicious towards materials glorifying a product (might be paid, right ;)), let me…

I present to you: Freeria
As you may have guessed behind this logo stands a very feminine team: I present to you Eti, Tzveti and Poli, who a few years ago combined their efforts in order to create hand-crafted and painted beauties. I have known them for a long time and I think they have always been passionate about beauty, thus I am deluged to see how the idea for creating and developing their own brand gradually came into fruition. Each of the Freerias has specialized in a different area: Eti makes the bags and does the products’ photos, Tzveti creates jewellery and manages the website, Poli receives the orders for paintings and creates them…
