Happy New Year!

In Russia New Year celebrations are major and a lot of people have some time off. For me it also means meeting with friends and following the traditions. One of said traditions is an early run on January the 1st. It is call a run of commitment or promise or resolutions. We gather with some other runners (this year due to we-all-know-what there were over 50 spots on maps of Moscow, on average there were 15 people on a run so it was easy to keep the distance), write on number plate without an actual number and run for as many meters as the new year. It actually works, well, mostly. I always write something about basement but we haven't yet did up will our desires yet. May be 2021 will make it different for my basement. My resolution trick is to write things I want to achieve but I can work on. So if I want to do something I want to move forward to completing it, even if I couldn't make it in the end, I can see how much I improved or moved forward. It makes me happy as well. I don't think I will be very active this week forward but I will try to show my face a little more online.






 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  5. Keeping a list of goals is a great way to stay on top of working towards them, even if you only make a list on the new year. Good luck on the basement, you'll get it done!

  6. Yes! I'm the same way, I don't want to make resolutions that I won't keep, but work towards something to make me feel like I've accomplished something.

  18. Happy New Year! I had to convert 2021 meters into miles because it seemed like a lot for this non-runner (bad knees). But it wasn't too bad once I saw the numbers LOL I am glad you all had a good time! Again, Happy New year!

  30. Happy new year, Lyosha! I hope 2021 is amazing for you and your husband. My new year was far less exciting than yours. I spent it at home in my pajamas with my cat. Lol. But I did get to go outside and see some fireworks nearby, and I really enjoyed that. I am excited to see what this year brings for all of us.

  31. Happy New Year! I love this tradition, it's such a fun way to kick off the year on a positive note. We always go for our 'first day hike' where we pick a random local trail to hike with the pups. Getting out with nature has been a major source of peace and tranquility for my husband and I, so it allows us to start the year with the right mindset.

Dia del Taco

Would you head to the city centre to stay in the queues to eat some cheap taco, listen to mariachis and watch lucha libre for your your birthday? Because that is exactly what I happily did! It was so much fun! I was very tired after but it was So worth it. I do hope to repeat it next year because March 31st is Taco day in Mexico. I do hope to enjoy it even more next time! As it was my birthday I wanted to wear something more flashy and festive. I went with sexy skirt, basic top and my most comfortable shoes. I felt edgy and beautiful. May be a little overdressed but who cares as it was my birthday! Who said 'taco'? I was wearing: H&M skirt (yes, i still kinda shocked they made such a beautiful and well made silky perfection) Doc Marten's Cuidado con el Perro top (I wear this shop a lot, but they seem to be so cute and affordable, I found a lot of joy in buying a top once in a while) Coach bag Necklace gift from my partner long before Fossil watch (last year'

Pool time!

It is finally warm enough for a pool! Can't say I am a water baby but it was very nice for me. And Just look at the super cute Ada Maria in her baby bikini. Awww, my heart melted. I definitely felt like a mom-mom in my one piece swimsuit with ruffles and a huge floppy hat. I mean, isn't it what fancy pool moms looked like when I was little. I am a little shocked to realize.. I am one of them now! P.S. it is not nearly as warm today or yeasterday but I am staying hopeful for hitting the pool or a beach  very soon. I was wearing: H&M swimsuit UniqloxInes de la Fressage hat Ada Maria was wearing: Carter's bikini Have a nice day, Lyosha  

Son Goku

I am crazy about this outfit! It is So cozy and so stylish in my eyes! The shirt provided me with comfort and some warmth (bonus for beauty in a windy day). Cap kept my eyes off the sun. Shoes and cargo pants helped a lot with comfort. I loved wearing this outfit. Some modification here and there and you will never guess I am still working about this beauty. Such comfort!  I wore this particular outfit to take my dog Surak to spa, have a romantic lunch with my partner and even step by the grocery to fell the fridge. It all happened during just one day, even more, it took me about 3 hours to do it all. I think my outfit definitely boosted me to preform better. Did I mention I managed to squeeze in some work in between of this all? Because I did. I rock. By the way, do you, guys, know Dragon Ball? A small guy on my top is Son Goku character from Dragon Ball, it's my birthday gift. I couldn't help myself when my husband offered to get me something from Dragon Ball x Cuidado con e
