Meet my friends: Katka

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to announce you that "meet my friends" is back! Today I'm about to introduce you to my amazing roommate, Katka. We know each other from high school, now studying and even living together brought our relationship a completely new perspective. Over the cakes we discussed the power of positive thinking, what it means to get lucky and of course the food! Enjoy!
What do you like for breakfast?
I try to mix it, but actually I always eat the same. Either I go for white yogurt with oats, fruits and nuts. Or wholegrain bread with cheese and vegetable. I am really stereotypical when it comes to food. Probably not a big gourman. But I like to eat healthy!
As now living together, I know about you every single detail (almost), and I've seen you reading a lot about the power of positive thinking. Can you share with us some thoughts? Probably the very first could be how did you get into it?
It was thanks to my mum, who saw how I used to always just think and was up the clouds as well as how apathetic I was. I had a feeling that I am losing a control over my life and didn't believe in lots of things. Everything was connected with not: will NOT, can NOT, shall NOT,.. My mum got me the book "Power of positive living", but I started reading it maybe 2 years after. Probably as many of you, I also didn't believe that the problem is inside of me and that everything can be changed just with the change of my thinking.
And now, do you have some advices for people out there struggling with life as well? How did the positive thinking help you?
I thought that loads of my decisions in my life were bad. And so I lived in my self-constructed problem, which was only in my own head. Also solving problems connected to the future, which don't even exist yet used to occupy me. The whole power of positive thinking is only about the believe in yourself and people around you. I read, that a man can change his/her way of life as quick as he can change the negative thought into positive one. Which means: I can, I do, I will change it!
I am happy you know the theory!
Yes, there are loads of smart books around! :D Theory is wonderful, but you can't change anything unless you believe that you can actually do it! We become the person, who we think we are. And when we will be thinking about ourselves in negative way, we will never reach any positive change! 
Thank you for the interview!
Damy a pani, s nesmiernym potesenim Vam mozem oznamit, ze "meet my friends" je spat! Dnes Vam predstavim svoju skvelu spolubyvajucu, Katku. Pozname sa uz zo strednej skoly, ale teraz od kedy spolu studujeme a hlavne byvame, nas vztah dostal uplne novu perspektivu. Pocas vychutnavania si kolacika sme sa rozpravali o sile pozitivneho myslenia, co to znamena mat stastie a samozrejme aj o jedle! Nech sa paci!
Co si rada das na ranajky?
V podstate to striedam, ale vlastne mam stale to iste. Bud biely jogurt, ovsene vlocky, ovocie a oriesky. Alebo celozrne pecivo so syrom a zeleninou. V jedle som dost stereotypna, asi nie som tym padom velky gurman. Ale rada jem hlavne zdravo!

Meet my friends: Csilla

Dear everyone, Today is the day and I am about to introduce you to my dearest friend Csilla. I know her only for a year (how absurd does it sound, when taking into consideration how close she is to me?!), we met in Berlin, when working for the same NGO and now, even tho she is Canadian with Serbian/Hunagrian roots, she is doing her PHD in lovely Budapest. She is my inspiration when it comes to studying, sending postcards and most of all having brunches! Please, enjoy!
What do you like for breakfast?

Depending on fruit we have at home, usually 2 different types of fruit with muesli and with milk or yogurt, which depends on if I have coffee or tea with it. When I have a tea I opt for milk and when I have a yogurt I go for a coffee. 

But today since Bastian (lovely German flatmate) have a visitor, we went for breakfast to bakery and I had a “pozsony kifli” (translation: bratislava kifli), which was a pastry with walnuts. And I thought of you :)

Today I'd like to talk with you about your passion and love for Europe. Where does it come?

In general I have a deep passion for Europe. I don’t know how I developed this passion, but during my courses at the uni and so I was always heading into this direction.

I guess that also heritage has something to do with – I am rediscovering myself in here!

And so does the European culture, history and politics, which was always appealing to me.

So why back to Budapest?

Specifically Budapest I guess, as a re-discovery of my Hungaria-ness. Obviously the university is great and my program is really good as well. In general it was a really good offer. Not forgetting to mention my family, which part is living nearby. And the proximity to you!!! Hahaha (flatteeeered)

Would you do it again?

Depends on perspective. In case of city – a thousand times YES!

But school is difficult.

I have a really good impression of people, but of course I live in the bubble, as I am constantly surrounded by foreigners at the uni. But also locals seem to be very helpful all in general.

Definitelly a plus that I speak Hungarian tho.

Köszönöm szepen for the interview!

Mili vsetci,

dnes nastal ten den D, kedy Vas zoznamujem so svojou drahou kamaratkou Csillou.

Pozname sa len rok (co znie trochu absurdne, ked vezmeme do uvahy ako sme si blizke), stretli sme sa v Berline, kde sme pracovali pre rovnaku NGO, a teraz aj napriek tomu ze je Kanadanka so srbsko-madarskymi korenmi, je momentalne studentkou PHD v Budapesti.

Je mojou inspiraciou nie len v studiu a posielani pohladnic, ale najma v ranjkovych bruncoch :)

Nech sa paci!

Co si rada das na ranajky?

Zavisi to na ovoci, ake mame doma. Zvycajne si nakrajam dva druhy ovocia s muesli a s mliekom alebo s jogurtom. To zalezi na tom, ci si dam k ranajkam kavu alebo caj. Ak je to kava, tak jem muesli s jogurtom, a ak je to caj tak si ich dam s mliekom.

Ale napriklad dnes, nakolko tu ma Bastian (velmi mily spolubyvajuci z Nemecka) navstevu, sme boli v jednej pekarni a ja som mala "pozsony kifli" (preklad: bratislavsky rozok), s vlasskymi orechami. A myslela som na Teba :)

Dnes by som s Tebou rada hovorila o Tvojej vasni pre Europu. Odkial prameni?

Vo vseobecnosti mam obrovsku vasen pre tento kontinent. Neviem ako sa to vo mne vyvinulo, ale uz od skoly vsetky moje kurzy smerovali tymto europskym smerom.

Taktiez aj dedicstvo, ktore v sebe nesiem, s tym ma nieco spolocne - znovu sa tu objavujem!

A tak isto aj europska kultura, historia a politika mi su blizke srdcu.

Meet my friends: Lubi

Hello lovelies! I've decided to introduce you to my friend Lubi, who I was already speaking about last Sunday. She is my classmate at the university and together we share passion not only for a good food and drinks but also tennis, international relations and guys. And that's the topic I'd like to discuss with her now. She is my eternal inspiration when it comes to guys, love and relationship - optimist in each and every single way! Enjoy!
What do you like for breakfast?
I like oatmeal, but there's never enough time in the morning for me to prepare it. So nowadays I only have a yogurt from the company's canteen.
But when you have time, what you really like to have for breakfast?
Well, still just an oatmeal with banana and strawberries. And I like it very soft.
You are my eternal inspiration when it comes to optimism and excitement from guys. So I'd like to hear your most extraordinary experience! 
You mean with men? Oh, you can't publish that! :D
Ok, then something less extraordinary? 
Wow, you mean positive or negative? Because if negative, then maybe when my 75-years old landlord in Brasil, was hitting on me and wanted to take me on a weekend to see polo in Argentina. And we were stuck in his car in a 2-hours long traffic jam, so I couldn't even escape!!!
Why were you in his car in the first place?
We went to play tennis together! (I told you she liked tennis!)
And what about the posiive experience? Something what I can actually publish?
Oh well, probably I am still waiting for that one!
And something less romantic? 
Well, with my one and only boyfriend I've ever had, when we had a nice romantic dinner and then strolled in the historic town of Porto.
I know, that you're now working for a consulting company. You must have a strict dress code there and there must be way too many men walking around in a suit, right? So how do you like this professional surrounding? 
 I love it! Because it's enough when a guy puts on a suit and he looks thousand times better! And the guys in my company, they dress up really well, they take care about their look a lot. And I really appreciate it, because at least it looks that they know what are they doing - when at least looking professional! And I have to say, that there would be a potential material, but as I empirically found out, it's not such a great idea to start something up at your work.
Can you imagine your future relationship in these days?
Why is it all about men? :D Don't forget that men are not irreplaceable, all they are is just a piece of a muscle!
And what about some relationship advice? So we can all reach your level of optimism?
You should read some Brazilian press, because they write there, that men are irrelevant! In our Czecho-Slovak magazines they write about, what to do so men will like us more. But in those south-amarican they talk about how women are sexsymbols in society, and that it doesn't matter when somebody breaks up with you, because there must be something better waiting for you out there!
Who is your role model?
When it comes to fashion, I like Miranda Kerr. But when it comes to personality, doesn't matter how cheesy it sounds, my Mom is my role model. I can't really explain it, but she is the ideal character from Exupery's Little Prince or Barrie's Peter Pan. She is always pointing at the child inside of everyone of us, and that's what inspires me the most. I'd like to keep up to it my whole life and never to become boring and stereotyped whether it comes to men or anything else. You always have to say that there's something better out there waiting for you and when something didn't work out, then there must be something better to come!
Thank you for the interview! 

Ahojte! Dnes Vam predstavim svoju kamaratku Lubi, o ktorej som Vam uz hovorila v nedelu. Je to moja spoluziacka z vysokej skoly, s ktorou zdielame nie len vasen pre dobre jedlo a drinky, ale aj pre tenis, medzinarodne vztahy a chlapov. A to je tema, ktorej by som sa tu chcela teraz venovat, lebo Lubi je pre mna vecnou inspiraciou, co sa tyka chlapov, lasky a vztahov - optimistka v kazdom slova zmysle! Milujem na nej to, ze sa dokaze zamilovat za dve hodiny, rozist sa za dva tyzdne a najst niekoho noveho za dva dni! Nech sa paci!
Co rada ranajkujes?
Rada ranajkujem ovsene vlocky, ale kedze si ich nikdy nestihnem pripravit, tak som odkazana na to, aby som si kupila jogurt v zavodnej jedalni. 
Ale co tak naozaj rada ranajkujes?
Ovsene vlocky v mlieku s bananom alebo jahodami. A necham si ich tam dlho odstat, aby boli makke :) 
Si pre mna inspiraciou, co sa tyka nekonecneho optimizmu a nadsenia z chlapov. Tak by som chcela pocut Tvoj najextraordinernejsi zazitok.
To ako s muzmi? To nemozem publikovat :D
Tak potom nejaky menej extraordinerny?
Waw, ako pozitivny alebo negativny? Lebo negativny bol, ked ma moj 75-rocny domaci v Brazilii balil a chcel ma pozvat na polo na vikend do Argentiny. A stali sme v 2-hodinovej zapche, takze som nemohla ani utiect! 
Preco si s nim vobec bola v tom aute?
Lebo som s nim bola hrat tenis! (hovorila som, ze rada hra tenis!)
A teraz ten najpozitivnejsi zazitok? Taky, co mozeme aj zverejnit.
Tak na ten asi este len cakam :D 
A co tak nieco menej romanticke? Nieco, co Ti teraz utkvelo v pamati?
Tak potom asi s mojim jedinym ozajstnym priatelom doteraz, ked sme boli na romantickej veceri a potom na prechadzke po historickom Porte. 

Meet my friends: Petra V

Ladies and gentlemen, today is my honor to introduce you to one of my longest friends - Petra (again! Once you get to know me better you realize that my friends are always Petras haha). We know each other from high school already, and now even studying at the university together.

But as this week is more or less about the changes in our lives, I'd like to show you the change Petra did with her orientation from diplomacy and nuclear disarmament to being a shampoo producer. 

So here you go, read her story and get inspired!

What do you like for breakfast?

Honestly, the breakfast has never bothered me much. So usually I just grab a yogurt and muesli - there's nothing better for me! And on Thursday, when I have a class early in the morning I just eat on a tram - croissant and a latte.

Life is a change, and there were loads of changes in your life recently, as you transferred from diplomacy to the cosmetics industry. How is it? What can you say to it?

It was indeed a positive change, when you look at it from the materialistic point of view. It's been ages ever since I needed to buy cosmetics, as I am surrounded with it every day. So I changed NATO and UN for it. And I don't regret it at all. I take it as a phase in my life and when you're doing something what you really like you can find even diplomacy in it. But I am sure that the changes are still about to come :)

How do you mean it, that changes are about to come?

Well, just that I don't plan to stay in a cosmetics industry forever. I'd like to go somewhere abroad, which would definitely move me somewhere else as well.

Would you be willing to give up on a job, which the majority of graduates is dreaming of?

Yes, it's a dream came true for maybe 2 months. But in the end when you count all that time you had to sacrifice and all the other activities you could have done instead, you'll see that job is not that important.

There's plenty of administration in marketing but also a bit of creativity, even tho the orders come from abroad, where's the company's headquarter. But I don't know if it's any better somewhere else, maybe they just end at 5pm and not at 7pm.
But I've chosen it and I do not regret.

Thank you for the interview!

Vazeni a mili, dnes Vam predstavujem svoju dlhorocnu kamaratku, jednu z tych ludi, co poznam skoro cely zivot - Petru (ano, dalsia Petra, ked ma budete poznat lepsie, zistite, ze v mojom zivote je tych Petier trochu viac!). Stretli sme sa na gymnaziu a teraz spolu studujeme a byvame aj na vysokej skole.
Petra sa vsak rozhodla svet diplomacie vymenit za vyrobcov samponov a vstupit do sveta marketingu.
Dnes Vam tu ponukam jej pribeh, nech sa paci!

Co rada ranajkujes?

Ranajky ma nikdy nejak obvzlast netrapili. Zvycajne je to jogurt a muesli – nic lepsie neexistuje! A vo stvrtok, ked mam skolu skoro rano, tak ranajkujem v elektricke na ceste do prace, a to zvycajne croissant a latte.

Zmena je zivot, a v Tvojom zivote nastali tie zmeny asi pred rokom, ked si sa z diplomacie preorientovala na kozmeticky priemysel. Ake to je? Co by si k tomu vedela povedat?

Samozrejme to bola pozitivna zmena, z hladiska materialnych statkov. Nakolko som si uz dost dlho nemusela kupovat kozmetiku, lebo som nou priam obklopena. A tak som vymenila NATO, OSN a pod. za kozmetiku. Ale nelutujem to, beriem to ako fazu, a ked to co robis, robis naozvaj rada, tak si tam najdes aj tu diplomaciu. Ale som si ista, ze zmeny este len nastanu :)

Ako si to myslela, ze zmeny este nastanu?

No, ze neplanujem zakoncit svoju karieru v kozmetickom priemysle. Chcela by som ist este niekam prec, co by ma urcite tak isto niekam posunulo.

Meet my friends: Petra M

My dears, today I've decided to introduce you to my friend Petra, who is the person who stands behind the whole decision of creating a blog. Among us I call her my PR and marketing specialist and owe her big times for pushing me into this little adventure I have now with you.

But there's a lot more to tell about her and during this interview I'd like to talk about her 3 major addictions: her boyfriend, good food and yoga. Well, actually mostly about the yoga! And I am very happy and grateful that she has found some time for me even tho she is on vacation!

So please sit down, take a cup of hot tea and read :)

What do you like for breakfast?

I have to admit, that breakfast is actually the reason I wake up in the morning! Already in the evening I am thinking what am I gonna eat, so I can really look forward to it in the morning. Crazy, I know!

As I am in Lisbon this week, I’m having really untraditional breakfast for me: a pastry with salty butter (real pieces of salt!!) and nutela or cherry marmalade. And the cherry on the top is a coffee in some of the local cafes.

How did you get to yoga?

The sister of my boyfriend brought me to yoga, bikram yoga actually, and it was just recently. She is practicing yoga a lot longer and now she even went to Thailand to get the official teaching course. I wouldn’t believe that I could like it that much, as I don’t really like the routine, but it absolutely overwhelmed me! It happened that I even went 4 times a week and that’s a lot when it comes to me!

I did some research on yoga and found out that the most important is to breath and to dedicate that 1.5 hour only to yourself. What would you recommend to all the future yogins, who you might have had inspired just now?

Don’t get discourage by the heat where you practice bikram yoga. The heat is the best about it, you get the most out of yourself and you can’t feel the pain. Additionally you sweat LOADS and that’s the process of losing a weight – well, at least in my case. And the bonus in the end: all the girls who do yoga have nice flat belly and the results are coming really fast! 

Thanks for the interview <3

Moji najdrahsi citatelia, dnes som sa rozhodla, ze Vam predstavim cloveka, ktory stoji za celym pozadim vzniku tohoto blogu. Je to moja kamaratka Petra, ktoru medzi nami volam moj PR a marketingovy genius a kto ma nahovoril na toto dobrodruzstvo, ktore tu s Vami teraz prezivam.

O Petre Vam ale viem toho povedat este omnoho viac a preto som sa rozhodla, ze tento rozhovor bude v duchu jej troch zavislosti, a to su: jej priatel, dobre jedlo a yoga. Teda, vlastne to bude cele tak trochu iba o joge! Chcela by som jej tymto este raz podakovat, ze aj napriek tomu, ze je na prazdninach, nasla si cas a zodpovedala moje otazky!

Takze sa pekne usadte, uverte si dobry caj a citajte :)

Co mas rada na ranajky?

Musim sa priznat, ze ranajky su dovod preco vobec rano vstavam:) Dokonca vecer pravidelne premyslam co dobre si dam, aby som sa na rano tesila. Hrozne, ja viem! Kedze tento tyzden travim v Lisabone, netradicne ranajkujem pecivo so slanym maslom (su v nom naozaj kusy soli!!!) a nutelou alebo visnovym lekvarom a dokoncujem to dobrou kavou v niektorej z tunajsich kaviarni.

Ako si sa dostala k joge? 

K joge, konkretne bikram joge, som sa dostala len nedavno vdaka priatelovej sestre, ktora sa jej venuje uz dlho a dokonca v juni absolvovala mesacny trenersky kurz v Thajsku. Neverila som, ze by ma to mohlo bavit, kedze neznasam rutinu, ale absolutne ma to pohltilo! Az tak, ze som chodila 4-krat do tyzdna a to uz je co povedat v mojom pripade.

Meet my friends: Lucka

Meet my friend - Lucka, who is my friend from university and currently also my flatmate. I've decided to introduce her to you as she is working in the man's world (for a car company) and I was curious how do they all treat her. Besides that she super smart and dedicated, she always brings us a home made cake when she comes on Sunday evening from home. So here you are and enjoy!
What do you have for breakfast?
During the weekend my Dad usually goes to the bakery and brings home all the delicious pastry he can find. My favorite are with raspberries, when the pastry is stuffed with raspberries and mascarpone - that's really delicious! Or when someone makes pancakes for breakfast, that's not bad either! As during the vacation, they made us fresh pancakes. And I like them with maple sirup or fruits. And always when I am watching Gossip Girl, they eat there those waffles with raspberries - oh, I'd like to have their breakfast!  And what was really surprising when speaking of breakfast, when I was this summer in Spain, they served ice cream for breakfast! Which I couldn't really go with, but maybe with pancakes it wouldn't be that bad! :)
How is it to work in men's world?
Well, it definitely has advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to advantages, it's always that they really appreciate that they have the there. They are also much into details and when I enter in the morning they scan me and make some compliment!
But do they also notice things, which normally guys don't see, such as when you cut your hair?
Yes, actually they are always checking if my nails fit my clothes!!! (oh my, and they are working with cars!!!) Or for example today, my college was also wearing green and he came to me and told me that we look like two turtles! Because he was wearing a green shirt, so we really matched!  It's just that sometimes they can be too observant, when it comes to cleavage or when I was wearing a white skirt during the summer and it was slightly see-through... They knew straight away that I was wearing lacy underwear, what was even sooner than I had a chance to realize it! Thanks to the small number of girls, which is 4 and 30 men, they are really putting an effort in their behavior, they open door for me or sometimes take my lunch - kinda gentlemen! :)
Do you think that sex (I mean if you're woman or man) can play a role when it comes for example to promotion? Would they prefer you to a man?

Well, probably not. If it was about staying in the office, then I think I would have an advantage. But with promotion, I don't think so. The guy will have it easier. They just all think that I am a girl so naturally I can't understand cars as much as a guy. But I think that they're really glad to have me here. And everyone is jealous of my boss, 'cos he has a girl in his devision! :D

But back to the disadvantages now - well, if there are any?!

Well, when they are looking at me, that look! a girl, she can't understand cars much. But I have to agree with them, I am not that much interested. We have loads of car magazines in work and I don't even open them. The closest I get is when I check the cover :D

And also when you see all guys talking to each other, how vulgar they can be. But actually this can be also an advantage, at least I have a chance to observe them, when they are together. But sometimes I am really amazed what comparisons they can make!

Thank you for the interview!

Spoznajte moju kamaratku Lucku! S Luckou sme sa spoznali na univerzite a momentalne sme dokonca aj spolubyvajuce. Rozhodla som sa Vam ju predstavit, lebo je to dievca, ktore sa pohybuje v cisto muzskom svete - pracuje totiz v auto-priemysle, a ja som bola zvedava, ako sa tam k nej spravaju. Okrem tohoto vsetkeho je super mudra a horliva, ale zo vsetkeho najviac mam rada, ked v nedelu vecer donesie domaci kolacik! Takze nech sa paci!
Co mas rada na ranajky?
Cez vikend ma tatko vo zvyku rano chodit nakupovat, tak nam stale potom nosi vsetko mozne co maju u nas dobreho v pekarni. Najlepsie su malinove, ked je pecivo plnene malinami a tvarohom - tak to je dobre! Alebo keby niekto urobil palacinky, to by bolo uplne dobre, ako ked sme boli na dovolenke a tam nam robili cerstve palacinky na ranajky :) A mam ich rada s javorovym sirupom alebo s nalozenym ovocim, nieco medzi dzemom alebo ovocim. A hlavne sa mi stale paci ked pozerame Gossip girl, tak raz by som chcela mat take ranajky! Tie ich wafle s malinami!  A teraz ked sme boli v Spanielsku, tak tam bola na ranajky aj zmrzlina! Ale tu som uplne nezvladla, ale mozno na tych palacinkach by asi nemusela byt zla.
Takze ake je to pracovat v cisto panskom kolektive?
Tak ma to urcite svoje vyhody aj nevyhody. Tie vyhody su v tom, ze ti chlapi si ta tam hrozne vazia, su velmi vsimavi, takze ked prides do prace, tak si ta vzdy celu prehliadnu, pochvalia ta ako ti to slusi, ...
Ale vsimnu si napriklad aj take veci, ktore si normane nevsimaju, napr. ze si ostrihana?
Ano, prave stale skumaju ako mam zladene nechty s oblecenim!!! (a to oni pracuju s autami!!) Alebo dnes jeden kolega bol tiez v zelenom ako ja a on ku mne prisiel, ze sme dnes ako dve korytnacky! Lebo mal zelenu koselu, tak sme boli k sebe pekne zladeni! No ono je to tak, ze niekedy ta to potesi ale ked mas potom vystrih alebo v lete ked som mala bielu suknu a ta bola trochu priesvitnejsia... - tak potom boli uz az prilis vsimavi! Takze hned videli, ze mam krajkovane spodne pradlo, co som pomaly nevedela ani ja! :D Vdaka tomu ze sme tam 4 dievcata a asi 30 chlapov, tak sa nas tam snazia rozmaznavat, stale otvaraju dvere, alebo ked idem na obed tak mi sem tam vezmu aj tacku s jednom - celkom gentlemani :) 
Myslis si, ze by pohlavie bolo rozhodujuce napriklad pri povyseni? Keby si mali vybrat medzi muzom a zenou?
No to asi nie. Ale keby sa jednalo len o to, ci tam zostanem ja alebo chlap, tak to by som asi vyhodu mala. Ale keby som mala byt povysena a jednalo by sa o mna a o chlapa, tak to budem mat tahsie. Lebo ti chlapi si povedia, ze to dievca tym autam predsa tak nerozumie. Ale myslim si, ze su radi, ze tam vobec nejake dievca maju a tak sa o mna staraju. Napr. aj ten sef je rad, ze ma tam ma, lebo nejakym sposobom mu ini zavidia, ze on ma na oddeleni dievca :D 

Meet my friends: Zuzka

Lieblings, for this Friday I've picked up for you my friend Zuzka. She belongs to people I know the longest time in my life. Not even we started 8-years-high school together, but we still keep in touch after the graduation from universities :) Zuzka is beautiful (oh her hair!!!), understands biology and chemistry and she's marries! She is my first friend who got married, and exactly that's why I've decided to interview her for you. So please, enjoy:
What do you usually have for breakfast? (a warm up!)
Oooh, really bad question for me! I hardly ever eat breakfast, as I almost always oversleep and I am happy that at least I manage to dress up! Sometimes it happens that my very first meal is actually lunch. Really bad, I know! But during the weekend I like to have a "sweet pastry" (really poor English translation - sorry) with butter and our family speciality is to sprinkle it with powder sugar (which reminds me a lil bit of Dutch style breakfast ;-)) And of course, hot cocoa! 
Wedding is supposed to be the most beautiful day in your life. Is it true for you?
Honestly,...YES! It was the highlight of the whole year, which we spend with preparation. When you care for the color of candles and napkins, picking up the decoration and tasting cakes... simply, you're trying to make everything perfect! And then the day comes, when you dress up in your wedding dress and forget all the small details, even tho you were going crazy that the candles are not in ivory color but in cream! The only thing I had on my mind that day was that I was standing in church next to Jakub and becoming his wife for the rest of our lives. Our whole wedding day was really beautiful. To see how happy our families and friends were, how they all love us and wish us all the best and of course what a good time they were having. We enjoyed it that much that we forgot to cut the wedding torte! lol
They say that the adventure either ends or starts with the wedding. How is it with you and Jakub? How have you spend your first after-wedding weeks?
When it comes to us, the adventure has certainly just begun! We are about to move to our very first and own flat, we have both graduated and got a job! I adore everything, what's new for me and recently it has been a lot! And the first after-wedding weeks? Lenka, you've heard more than enough about the reconstruction, right - haha?! Our marriage will fully start when we will finally move to the flat and we will be falling asleep next to each other in our new bed, which is now still in a basement! haha

Thank you for the interview! <3


Milacikovia, na dnesny piatok som pre Vas vybrala svoju kamaratku Zuzku. Patri k ludom, ktorych poznam najdlhsie. Spoznali sme sa na gymnaziu a stretavame sa dodnes, uz aj po vysokej skole :) Zuzka je krasna (tie vlasy!!!), rozumie biologii a chemii a je vydata! Bola prvou mojou kamaratkou, ktora vstupila do manzelstva, a aj prave kvoli tomu som sa rozhodla ju pre Vas vyspovedat.  Nech sa paci:

            Co zvyknete mavat na ranajky? (to je len zahrievacie kolo:))

Ooooh velmi zla otazka pre mna! Ranajkujem velmi zriedka, pretoze ja kazde rano zaspim a som rada, ze sa stihnem vobec obliect! Niekedy sa potom stane, ze moje prve jedlo dna je obed. Strasne, ja viem! Cez vikend si ale rada dam cerstvu vianocku s maslom a nasa rodinna specialita: posypem si ju praskovym cukromJ A samozrejme kakao nesmie chybat!

Svadba by mala byt najkrajsim dnom zivota. Plati to aj o Tebe?

Musim neskromne povedat, ze ANO ! Svadobny den bol vyvrcholenim roku priprav, kedy sa staras o farbu sviecok a servitiek, vyrabas tonu dekoracii, ochutnavas kolace... proste sa snazis, aby bolo vsetko dokonale. A potom pride ten den, ked sa oblecies do svadobnych siat a uplne zabudnes na vsetky taketo malickosti, aj ked este vcera si salela z toho, ze sviecky su slonovinove a nie smotanove. Jedine na co som v ten den myslela bolo, aby som uz stala v kostole pri Jakubovi, a aby som uz bola navzdy jeho zenou. Cely nas svadobny den bol taky krasny! Vidiet nase rodiny a kamaratov aki su stastni, a ako nas maju radi, ako nam zelaju to najlepsie, a ako sa s nami zabavaju. Bavili sme sa az tak, ze sme uplne zabudli rozkrajat svadonu tortu! 

Meet my friends: Kitty

Ladies and gentlemen, please, meet Kitty. She is one of my closest, if not the closest, friend. Dutch born, student of dentistry but most of all the queen of vintage and my eternal inspiration when it comes to style, decor and antique! I've been mentioning her name a lot last days, partly due to my recent visit in Amsterdam and partly due to the general fact of the friendship itself. So here is a little interview I've prepared for you. Hope you'll like it and get inspired as well :)
What do you usually have for breakfast? (this is just a warm up question for everyone ;-)) Normal? Or with you? :D I always take wholewheat bread, sometimes I toast it. Then what I really love are sprinkles - "hagelslag" or "flokken" or mix - bicolore :) But sometimes I also like the colored ones, the sugary ones, fruchthagels. Then I also like "muisjes" those made from anis. You have it in pink and white or blue and white, so when babies are born, when it's a girls it's pink and for boy blue. And normally you eat it on "schron" (correct my spelling!!!) it's little bit of brown and crunchy. Then what else? I really like cappuccino with "mountains". The mountains are fluffy and then under it's milky coffee. And sometimes I put vanilla in it. Never sugar, because you know I am dentist!
You know that I am in love with your room. What inspires you when collecting all the antique? Well Lenka, let me tell you about it! Actually my father designed my room. (I didn't know that!!!) He has a lot of stuff, so he tells me: you can take this or this... And I am like "okeeee, give it to meee". But for the paintings I like pictures of Amsterdam. I collect them. Really old ones. And also I have dentistry things, did you see the tools on the picture? And also my grandmother contributed with her antique staff. My "Tiffany lamp". Then she also wanted to give me a Chesterfield couch, but it's brown, so my brother took it! And things I like the most about my antiques is when you go upstairs there's this big closet. I really like it!
