Rouge

This is not a paid post. It's just love.

In february I said that red lipstick is going to have a spectacular comeback this year.
Deea doesn't wear one but nevertheless, her post on signature lipstick is beautiful. It reminded me that we should wear lipstick more often.

Mine is 100percent Pure Cosmetics Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze Cabernet , love it and I think I found the one.

When the thunder calls you

Recently I've been quite pissed off with facebook's latest complicated changes. I mean, changes are good but it became so complicated. Remember when it was simple and fun?


But then I saw this little sign.



So appropriate. Family connections are like thunders, some good, some bad.


Nevertheless the little thunder made me smile.

I guess I'm a sucker for small cute details.

I'm not a huge fan of pink but.....

Stiam ca toata lumea e vulnerabila, fragila, sensibila si facuta din carne si oase. Stiam asta ca pe o axioma. Ceva ce nu trebuie demonstrat si care are o valoare atat de abstracta incat nu ma intereseaza/atinge.
Mult timp mi s-a parut ca a arata ca esti vulnerabil e un semn de slabiciune. Nu se face sa arati ca esti vulnerabil pentru ca asta te face un om slab, nedemn de respectul de sine si al celorlalti.

Si intr-un moment de ceata, o prietena mi-a spus:

" Vezi tu, pana one is not ready to feel vulnerable, one will be knocked down to feel vulnerable. Sa fii vulnerabil emotional si cald cu oamenii nu e slabiciune, e chiar mai usor sa handle relationships with people like this."

And my, was I knocked down. Am aflat asa ca nu e un semn de slabiciune.
Ascunderea vulnerabilitatii proprii, negarea importantei ei e una dintre cele mai mai rele pe care poti sa le faci, tie si celorlalti.

Si daca as scrie asta doar pentru mine e ca si cum as nega tot ce am zis.
So, nu-mi place rozul foarte tare dar sunt vulnerabila si e perfect in regula.

Cateva idei interesante despre vulnerabilitate

It's all in the black turtleneck

" The great thing in a library is to find things you're not looking for."
Dear Rem, may I apply this to life itself and not only to libraries?

Rem remains one of the true visionaries and even though this might look like a talk for architects, it's not.
And I have a soft spot for him, because he swims every day.

Warning: this requires focus (Rem has a funny accent), time and availability.
