Isolated not lonely


I had the most unusual birthday this week (on March the 31st). I was at home with husband and dogs. I wasn't working, running and watching fashion shows. I stayed home, ate cake, ordered delivery from one of my favorite places, watched studio Ghibli movies and played video games. I video-chatted a lot! The highlight of the day are my cakes. My very best husband spent hours caking it for me. I am forever grateful. It definitely was a birthday I will never ever forget!
Jelly unsweetened citrus cake with a moose (it is multicolored: light yellow, blue, orange, pinkish grapefruit, yellow and green layers!)
Honey-cake (honey and sea buckthorn berries) styled as gaming die to represent my board game love.




Stay safe, stay home even if you don't want to. Promise I miss hugging my family so much!

I was wearing:
very old topshop dress
Lizard necklace
cakes made my husband

 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  3. I love that saying isolated but not alone. As much as this quarantine in the states (NY) has been a downer, it is nice to have my family home for dinner every night. My girls are usually running around with dance and everything else life throws at them.

  10. Happy Birthday. How sweet of your husband and how talented he is. Sounds like the perfect lock down birthday! I love Ghibli movies too. I've been to a few of the real life inspiration spots for some of the movies here in Japan. We are very excited that a Ghibli amusement park is opening here in a couple of years time.

  13. What beautiful cakes! A very happy belated birthday to you! It's nice you still had cake to celebrate even if you did have to stay home - we had to have a party at home with no guests for my son's fourth birthday party as well, it's a strange time we are living in!


    Hope that your weekend is going well :) We are all staying home and staying safe.

  28. Happy birthday !!! I had no idea you can use sea buckworth as a cake ingredient, it must give the cake a lovely flavour when combined with honey. Nice to see you looking so happy on the photos.

  39. Happy birthday, Lyosha! I'm so glad you had an amazing day, despite the circumstances. I think that is a big reminder for me that attitude and perception are everything. It can easily be depressing, but it isn't.

    1. I agree: instead of being sad of what you can not get focus on what you can and try to be happy about it

  42. I will also be celebrating my bday in isolation in a few days. At least I get to celebrate is the attitude I will take. My kids and wife are all that matter to me.

  44. This new normal will take a lot of getting used to. I saw a video clip where there's a birthday cake and guy was wearing a surgical mask. He used a hairdryer to blow out the candles and there were 6 ipads and phones infront of him with his friends on the screen greeting him. It was sad and yet so futuristic at the same time. Glad your bday wasn't like that.

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
