LIFE UPDATE: WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING

At this point, I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I've been pretty MIA on my blog - I checked and my last post was from a month and a half ago, and I have a reason (or a few) for that. Basically, the biggest one is that I started working as a content writer and you can imagine how that has affected my inspiration and motivation to write and post. Don't get me wrong, I love writing, but doing it professionally every day has drained me a bit, as pretty much every job does. I still recognize what a privilege it is to be able to do what I'm passionate about, it just means that I am going to spend a little less time writing here. And that's okay. The other major reason is that I am not sure about what I want to do and how I want to present myself on social media. The influencer...

I HAD AN EATING DISORDER

If you know me, you know that I'm an open book. I don't have anything to hide and I share a lot. Some might even say I overshare. But suffering in silence is still suffering. I have this platform, where I can make people feel better and let them know that they're not alone in what they're going through, so I feel a duty to talk about my problems. Plus, it makes me feel better, too. Ever since I can remember, my weight has been a touchy topic for me. It has fluctuated a lot throughout my life, even when I was little. I don't remember when exactly I became conscious about it, maybe in my teenage years, as all girls do. During high school, I had a lot of insecurities. It pains me to know that every woman goes through body image issues at some point in her life, and although not everyone goes...

WHY I'M STILL SINGLE

I've had an overwhelming urge to write recently and I think it's mostly due to the fact that I've pretty much abandoned my blog. It's easy to get caught up in your day-to-day life and forget the things you love doing. I want to break that cycle and since no one reads my blog anymore, I don't feel as pressured to follow a schedule and post frequently. It's also easier to open up and talk about whatever I feel like sharing. Today, that is the imminent question "Why are you single?", which I can't answer myself. It seems like being in a relationship is the norm. It makes sense - we are social creatures, thriving on interaction and contact with others, seeking approval, be it subconsciously and dreading loneliness. That leads me to the conclusion that I'm an alien. Jokes aside, I...

10 НЕЩА КОИТО НЕ ЗНАЕТЕ ЗА МЕН

Наскоро беше популярно в Instagram да се споделят по 5 факта на история и аз естествено се включих. Това от своя страна ме вдъхнови да напиша и този пост с 10 неща, които може би не знаете за мен. 1. Тренирах спортни танци в продължение на 5 години, но никога не беше професионално. Много ми харесваше и все още помня някои от стъпките. 2. Като става дума за танци, не мога да се отпусна достатъчно, когато изляза с приятелки вечер, за да танцувам (може би не пия и достатъчно алкохол 😅). Вкъщи пред огледалото обаче танцувам постоянно. 3. Много обичам крем супи. Ям поне една на семица и никога не ми омръзват. Любимата ми е от тиква! 4. Не обичам празниците. Нито един от тях - Коледа, Нова година, Великден, рождени дни... Не вярвам в идеята, че определени дати са специални и цялото напрежение...

Ari Time

Bus Simulator Racing Walking Ari and wearing my favourite pants means a good day, right? I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda over summer at this point and I don't get why it's everyone's favourite season, but I'm gonna go to the beach as much as I can. Unpopular opinion? ~ Да разхождам Ари и да нося любимия си панталон означава хубав ден, нали? Няма да лъжа, малко ми писна от лятото вече и не разбирам защо е любимият сезон на всички, но пък ще ходя на плаж колкото е възможно. Unpopular opinion? xo,Kal...

Traveling with Anxiety: My Top 7 Tips

The first time I opened up about my struggle with anxiety I got an amazing response - better than I had ever expected. It made me realise that I'm definitely not the only one and that reading or talking about it helps a lot. I recently went on a trip alone, which if you had told me I would do about 2 months ago, I wouldn't have believed you. I've mentioned that I like traveling and I wanna see and experience new things, but the problem is learning how to deal with unfamiliar situations. I had come to a point in my life where I was so tired of staying in the same place all the time and I just felt stuck. I thought to myself "I just can't live like this anymore" and booked an airplane ticket online. What you should know about me is I like making impulse decisions. So, I booked my ticket and...

Eco Park

best hair dryer reviews for 2016 /*/ I had a fun little hike today and didn't forget to bring my camera. My style has been quite boring lately, but I have some fashion posts coming up! ~ Излязохме на кратка разходка днес и не забравих камерата си. Стилът ми е доста скучен напоследък, но ще подготвя модни публикации скоро! xo,Kal...

21 Things I Learned In 21 Years

Since it was my birthday on Friday and I really love this type of posts, I decided now's the time to write mine. Remember, this is all personal experience and opinions and you don't need to agree with everything. A new start is always difficult, but things often seem scarier than they are. Not everyone cares. Most are just curious. Smiling is free. So is kindness. If you do something, give your 100%. A diet is never healthy. You can stick to a plan, but if you crave something badly, you shouldn't restrict yourself. Happiness is not a destination, it's a way. You'll hear different opinions of yourself. They shouldn't form the person you are. You don't need the validation of anyone else to love yourself. If you have to force a relationship it's not going to last and it's not worth your energy. Lying...

Free Time

Here's the second post from my road trip I promised! I'm gonna wear something that's not black soon, I swear. Yoli is going back to Lancaster today and I already miss her, ~ Ето го и втория пост от екскурзията ми, който обещах. скоро ще облека нещо, което не е черно, заклевам се. Йоли се връща в Ланкастър днес и вече ми липсва. xo, Kal...

I ♥ Christmas Tag

I haven't done a tag in so long, so I was really excited when the lovely Lili tagged me to do this festive one! I'm really tired, so I'll be doing it in English only though. Here we go: 1. What is your favorite Christmas Color? Dark green definitely! I love all shades of green all around, but I have an actual excuse to wear it and paint my nails in dark green around Christmas. 2. What is your favorite Christmas movie? Hmmm, it would have to be Love Actually if we're sticking to just Christmas movies. I rewatch it every year (and totally don't cry). 3. What is your favorite Christmas song? I can't pick just one, but I really love the classics, Let It Snow by Dean Martin, Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt. 4. The most anticipated Christmas Tradition? It would have to be giving people...

October Flashback

I know I should've posted these ages ago, but I was on a break in October and I kinda just forgot when I returned to blogging. So, here they are now, from when my best friend came home and we had one of the craziest days ever, remaking viral videos and twerking all over the place. Christmas is just a month away though and I can already feel the reunion! ~ Знам, че трябваше да кача тези преди известно време, но си почивах през октомври и просто забравих, когато се върнах към блогването. Ето ги сега, когато най-добрата ми приятелка се прибра и прекарахме един от най-лудите дни заедно, имитирайки известни клипове и туърквайки навсякъде. Коледа е след само месец и вече усещам събирането! xo, Kali...

Day Off

Day off day off! And I mean off - no work, no uni, just rest. It was so great to just chill and not worry about anything and take a walk with Ari. It's holidays in Bulgaria until Wednesday and I'm so happy about that! ~ Свободен ден свободен ден! И наистина свободен - без работа, без университет, просто почивка. Беше страхотно просто да релаксирам, да не се притеснявам за нищо и да се разходя с Ари. Сега има доста почивни и дни и съм много щастлива! xo, Kal...

First Day Of School

I went back to UNI this week, but my brother went back to school and he was actually happy about it. He's in the 3rd grade now and he goes to my first school. We took these photos yesterday, when it was officially the beginning of the term. I really want to go back to school now, even though I hated it. ~ Аз се върнах в университета тази седмица, но брат ми отново тръгна на училище и всъщност беше щастлив. Вече е 3ти клас и учи в първото ми училище. Правихме тези снимки вчера, когато официално започна годината. Сега искам и аз да се върна в училище, въпреки че го мразех. xo, Kal...
