How to gently enter the new year without pressure and expectations

I love the smell of freshly washed linens. For me, it's more than just a scent-it's a state of mind. It's not harsh, it doesn't shout or demand attention. It quietly envelops you, like a warm blanket, and in that moment, the world becomes a little softer, calmer, and kinder.

I internalized their versions of me and thought that was truth. 😤

Many in Ukraine are increasingly asking the same question: Where is the winter we're used to? There's been almost no snow for about ten years. And if it does fall, it disappears without a trace within a few days - a week at most. Real frosts have become a rarity, and winter is increasingly resembling a prolonged autumn.

Many of us grew up with jokes and unpleasant associations about Chinese products - we often hear that they copy other people's designs (for example, engines from Honda or BMW), that their products are supposedly of low quality and unreliable.

I didn't understand that when I was younger, but now I do. 🙏

Like the second you feel alone, something is wrong and you need to do something about it.

(for those who believe in miracles)

I read a story about a couple who met online and lived in different countries. 💖✨💖

I recently came across a curious article about people who love cats. I read it and found myself smiling. Because the more I read, the more I recognized something very appealing in these descriptions.😉

Every time I smile... because there's a very big truth behind this question.💕✨

Christmas and New Year the fun way — with laughter, small chaos, and a lot of good mood.

At Christmas, even the simplest words warm the heart, and believing in miracles feels easier than ever.

A few small Christmas traditions that make this season warm, cozy, and truly special for me.
