On movie marathons and autumn coziness

The time is here - it’s sweater weather again and yes, that the Neighbourhood song is already on replay, my autumn movie marathon list is full and I’m ready for cozy mood. I truly believe that every season has its own beauty and for autumn it’s definitely all about the beautiful nature, warm atmosphere and Halloween aesthetic. And one of my fave autumn pleasures are cozy movie marathons so here’s my take on how I enjoy them <3

Of course the most essential part of the movie experience is the good movie choice and that’s why I love counting on fave classics like the Harry Potter movies or cult Halloween faves. However, since I’m eager to watch new things recently, I sometimes opt for random highly recommended movies and surprise myself.

Let’s not forget that the cozy atmosphere is also very important - and here as you know comes my fave part as I adore decorating cozy corners with pillows and blankets <3 and to make it even better I put to use my cooking spurs and add delicious treats to go with the movie and coziness.

Have a nice autumn movie time everyone! :)

23 THINGS I LEARNED BEFORE 23

Hello guys! So I recently celebrated my 23th birthday and I took some time to reflect on the past years. I happen to be a little bit of a thinker so I thought a lot about how I have changed throughout the years and how far I've come in terms of following my dreams and being happy to just be me.

And here are the 23 things I have learned in my life so far. Hope it will be interesting for you to read these and that they will inspire you or teach you something. Enjoy!

#1 Smile. Always smile. It makes everything better.

#2 This quote by Dr. Seuss — 'Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.' is just so true.

#3 Whenever you're sad or confused just look at this. This is happiness: http://imgur.com/gallery/I1TBl29

#4 'It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.' !

#5 Kindness is the best gift you can give to anyone. Spread it freely.

#6 Life is too short to not do what you want or not chase your dreams. Any minute you waste is a wasted chance to be happier.

#7 The best moments in your live will probably not be in photos because you'll be too busy having fun.

#8 If you're lucky enough to find a true friend, cherish that person/those people and never let them go, they're your treasure.

#9 The sooner you stop caring about pleasing people, the better.

#10 A good laugh and a hug can heal anything and instantly make you feel better.

#11 You are never too old for cartoons, jumping around when you're happy and openly talking about even the smallest things that excite you and you genuinely care about.

#12 You don't need to be perfect to be happy, look at all the people you love with all your heart and how their imprefections don't matter to you.

#13 It's totally fine if your brain is '99% quotes and lyrics'. You're probably a great and fun person to talk to.

#14 Things are not always what you expect them to be. So this is a list of only 14 things, not 23 although I said so. Life often surprises you and you should always expect the unexpected. Hopefully it'll be a good surprise.

So thank you for reading. :) I hope you found something you liked and will remember. Now I wanna hear your favorite quotes and inspiring statements in the comments below! :)
