Life lately has been all about:

reading: no time for any pleasure literature these days. my dissertation is due in 2 months and I’ve been researching some topics that I could use for my final work. I don’t feel stressed anymore which is great and I hope to stay like this till the end.

watching: House of Cards. It’s SO good.

inspired: by M.Mcconaughey’s oscar’s speech. Not really about what he said, but more about his confidence and strength. It’s truly beautiful.

listening: to NPR youtube channel is my best buddy these days. so many talented musicians and singers in one place. you should all check it out!

eating: attempting to go vegan again. it’s going pretty well so far. the thing I love about it the most is that I’m kind of forced to start making more food at home. i even made this carrot cake yesterday. recipe will be up on the blog this week!

loving: morning gym and swimming sessions. when the weather is so nice, waking up before 7am isn’t so bad!

looking forward to: finishing my new bike! I already have a new frame and wheels, but still waiting to receive all the little parts for making it happen. I’m so excited!

shopping: finally got perfect sunglasses for this season! I’m kind of an addict when it comes to sunglasses, so I’m definitely getting a few more, but these will work great for now. I absolutely adore most of new collections though.

….and what you’ve been up to, my friends?
