 "Dragostea este o fiinta salbatica. Cand incercam sa o strangem in frau, ne distruge. Cand incercam sa o inchidem, ne inrobeste. Cand incercam sa o intelegem, ne tulbura. (P. Coelho)" Imi acordati acest dans?! - o intrebare atat de banala, cu doar doua variante de raspuns: "da" sau "nu"... insa aceasta intrebare se va contura intr-un adevarat destin... O simpla alegere, dar in viata nimic nu este asa de simplu cum pare la prima vedere - totul este caleidoscopic. O intrebare si un raspuns gresit si drumurile se schimba, destine se intrepatrund, viata capata alte culori. Iar totul se rezuma in acel "ce ar fi fost daca..."  Romanul "Invitatia la vals" de Mihail Drumes l-am descoperit pe vremea cand eram in liceu si facusem o mare pasiune pentru citit (a ramas si acum, nu va alarmati - doar ca nu a fost acolo mereu).  Nu stiam nimic nici de autor si nici de carte, dar coperta mi-a starnit atentia si cum eram la varsta adolescentei, idealis...

  Astazi vreau sa va vorbesc despre o cartitica pentru cei mici, cumparata acum cateva luni si despre care desi am tot zis sa scriu, nu stiu de ce dar am tot amanat... Cartea face parte din colectia "BeDe Citit Usor", este scrisa de Jeff Smith si se poate gasi la Editura Gama (acum si la pret redus). Jeff Smith este un caricaturist de origine americana, fiind cunoscut ca realizator de benzi desenate. In aceasta carte insa, l-a creionat pe Soarec Mic, carticica si poveste dedicata cititorilor incepatori. Cartea aduce a revista de benzi desenate, personajele au replici scurte, ceea ce o face extrem de usor de citit, dar si extrem de atragatoare (desene viu colorate, amuzante etc.). Prin cititor incepator se intelege clasa pregatitoare (clasa 0) si clasa I si dupa cum puteti vedea si in imaginea de mai sus, nu exista replici multe sau extrem de sofisticate pe pagina.  Soarec Mic se pregateste ilustreaza micile provocari ale vietii de zi cu zi, cum ar fi incaltatul si imbracatul,...

  Happiness is a fox is a book for children, writted by two writers of Lithuanian origin. The book was published in Romania by/at the Publishing House Cartemma, at the price of 45 lei (aprox. 10 euros). Is a nice book, very beautifully illustrated, with colourful drawings, perfect for children. The main subject is friendship  and happiness, and the importance of it. Is a book about the importance of feelings.  To sum up, is a sensitive story about dreams, friendship and happiness. Paul is the main character of the story, a little boy that lives in a big city... but in a very strange house...  And one day, Paul meets a fox and they become friends.  But as life turns out to be so many times, Paul needs to move and leave behind his house, his friends and every thing he knows. Is very hard for Paul to say good-bye to his fox friend and move to another city with his familly. And althought Paul has a park in his new city, he is very sad that his friend is not there wi...

  When it comes to cosmetics and beauty products, I have some brands that I absolutely love - and Kiko is one of them! Today I will share with you two of my favorite products from these brand:  Invisible Touch Face Powder  and  Long Lasting Colour Lip Marker ! I've descovered Kiko Cosmetics some years ago (more than 10) and since then I totally love it! I'm quite sad that we can't find a Kiko store in Romania, but at least we can order (the online store having the optin to deliver in our country). So, if you also like Kiko you can buy it online... I know is not the same thing, but is better than nothing! So, about the lip marker - you can find these produc in 8 colours (from nudes to red) and if you haven't guess yet, my favorite is red (no. 105 True red)!  And I like these lip marker so much that I have bought two pieces (in the same colour!!!) When I will be rich, maybe I will buy all 8 colours, who knows?! Is a long lasting lip marker, easy to applie on lips ...

  I have to admit that the cover of these book made my buy it! But I don't regret it, because is a quite good one.  Rebecca James is a writer of young adult fiction from Australia and among his books is also The Woman in the Mirror. Other books writed by Rebecca are: Beautiful Malice, Sweet Damage and Cooper Bartholomew is dead etc. In Romania you can find in libraries Femeia din oglinda si Adevarul despre fete . The Woman in the Mirror is a book for teenagers, quite dark, but not pretentious. Is very easy to read and fallow, but I can say that I have found it special.  Somehow it seems (to me) that gathers several other stories together (or cliches): of the governess that falls in love with the widowed master, typical English asylums (in which the woman that wore undesirable were taken), a sad love story...  A nice book, that makes you want to read it, but somehow is not spectacular. I really liked that the story is "built" on two levels, past and present and the i...

  Acum mai bine de un an am primit de la cei de la Kiehl's o mostra cu uleiul lor de buze si mi-a placut foarte-foarte mult! De atunci mi-am tot stors capul daca sa imi cumpar si varianta full-size, asa ca pana la urma, in urma cu 2-3 luni l-am cumparat. Am asteptat cu mare nerabdare sa il primesc, doar ca, de data asta nu prea m-a mai dat pe spate. Din cate imi aminteam eu, mostra primita colora buzele, oferea un rosu placut, nici prea intens, nici prea discret. Doar ca varianta full-size nu mai face toate astea... Recunosc ca am fost dezamagita, pentru ca mi-ar fi placut sa fie pigmentat. E adevarat, la capitolul hidratare si luciu este foarte bun, dar parca fara culoare nu are farmec. E drept ca in anuntul lor scrie ca "ofera buzelor o stralucire naturala", dar un strop de culoare nu strica, mai ales ca din cate tineam eu minte mostra era destul de pigmentata. Love oil for lips de la  Kiehl's spune ca "hidrateaza si hraneste buzele, are o formula lejera si con...
