WE VISITED THE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS ADVENT IN OPATIJA 🌟🎄

 

Hello lovelies!

I´m back with another post! I´ve been doing Vlogmas (daily vlog series) on my YouTube channel, throughout the whole of December, until Christmas, and I want to thank everyone who joined and supported my work🌟

With this post I´m hoping to transmit a bit of the magical atmosphere of the holidays, from my beautiful town, Opatija.

Before Christmas, we took a little walk in Opatija (it was very cold that day, because the cold wind "Bura" was blowing, but luckily it was sunny so the walk was actually really pleasant).

When you visit Opatija around Christmas and New Year, you really get immersed in that magical atmosphere of christmas lights and decorations.🎄🌟

I also filmed a little vlog from that day, and the next day, when we visited the centre of Rijeka.

You can click here to watch it🌟

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you spent it with your loved ones! We went to Italy for a couple of days, and we spent lovely time with my in-laws.

I´m back in Croatia now and will be here for the New Year´s Eve! I don´t have any plans other than to snuggle up by a fireplace, cook delicious food and enjoy spending time with my beautiful family.

I might still do one post before the arrival of 2025., but in case I don´t, I want to wish you guys all the best🌟 You are the best!❤️🥰

My handmade crystal bracelets: Sodalite for creativity, yellow topaz for stability & balance

 Hello friends!

In today´s post I´d like to show you my handmade crystal jewelry, and in particular, bracelets and rings made with sodalite, and yellow topaz.

This bracelet is made with yellow topaz, rose quartz, and a vintage porcelain decorative bead from Italy🌟

Yellow topaz allows stability and balance to enter one´s life. You can use this crystal to manifest your deepest desires. This gemstone allows  your intentions to align with the divine will. This beautiful crystal brings clarity and inner peace to a person.

Rose quartz has a gentle blush- pink colour and is known as the crystal for matters of the heart. It emits powerful, nurturing vibrations to your heart chakra, which can be used to boost self- love, emotional balance, friendship and romance. It helps to lower stress levels and dissipate feelings of resentment, upset and jealousy. 

The other bracelet (and a matching ring) that I wanted to show you is made with sodalite, freshwater pearls, and the same decorative bead.

Sodalite is traditionally associated with communication and intellectualism.

It´s tought to improve clarity, self- expression, intuition, insight, wisdom, emotional stability, and calm.

Sodalite is frequently recommended for artists, writers and other creatives.

Sodalite is also awakener of the Third eye, the centre of our perception and command. It directs our sight and everyday awareness of the world.

The inner glow of pearls is thought to tap inner wisdom and nurture love. Pearls are also believed to signify innocence and faith. Practitioners use pearls to enhance personal integrity, to bring truth forward, inhibit immodest behaviour and advance in wisdom.

When I create my jewelry, I always feel excitement, and it´s all about bringing positive feelings and authenticity to the table!

🌟 Authenticity 🌟
Living your life freely, expressing who you really are at the very core of existence, without fear of being judged, miss understood, labelled or ridiculed by others.
Without fear of “not making it”, or not being “enough “.
Shining your light brightly and never letting others dim it.
Standing at the source and fulfilling your life’s mission by just- being yourself ❤️ 

Holiday season is just around the corner! If you’d like to treat yourself or someone you love with a special, custom made jewellery piece, make your order now, don’t wait the last minute! 

I hand make all of my jewellery and also charge it for you with the beautiful energy of my garden and my trees. 

I’m already starting to accept your orders for Christmas so drop me a line if interested 📩 that way your gift can arrive in time and just the way you wanted it🥰

Our weekend getaway to the park of sculptures Dubrova in Labin, Croatia

 Hello friends!

This past weekend we went to the nearby town Labin in Istria, and we visited the park of sculptures "Dubrova".

We noticed this park a few months ago, when we were on an organized tour with Alfa Romeo cars, and we stopped there for a quick rest.

We didn´t have much time free to explore this park then,

but we promised to ourselves that we would visit it again, and next time, with our bikes!

And this is exactly what we did, the past Saturday! It was nice, sunny weather (a bit chilly, but this didn´t stop us from going to explore this park with our bikes!).

The park is really beautiful, very spacious and full of interesting statues made by croatian artists.

It´s also a great place for picnics, especially in spring time. I´m sure we´ll visit this park again! 😊

After our fun bike ride, we got hungry and went to eat pizza. We were very curious to try pizzas at "the best pizza place in Labin", pizzeria "Napoli". My hubby is italian, and I lived in Italy for many years, so we know pizza and how good pizza should taste!

And luckily, this pizza from pizza place "Napoli" in Labin, truly is fantastic, an explosion of flavors!

I´m very grateful to have spent such a lovely Saturday with my family, it´s such a blessing!

If you guys ever find yourselves in Istria, close to Labin and Rabac, you must visit the park of sculptures and this pizza place, "Napoli", you won´t be disappointed!

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

There is a new "slow life vlog" on my youtube channel if you´d like to take a look at what was I up to & how my week went!

I went second hand shopping in "Textile House" second hand store, and let me tell you, it was a success! 

I also did some grocery shopping, meditated in my garden, and I talked about Feng Shui school that I started attending this fall.

I also vlogged about this park and our visit to it, but I´m now working on editing it, so I´ll post it here when it´s ready & live on my channel!

Also, I wanted to mention, regarding my YouTube channel, we´re almost at 8000 subscribers!

Hopefully we get there before the New Year, I´ll try to film as often as possible during December (hopefully I´ll be able to do Vlogmas!)

Thank you for your support

Now I´m sending you a warm hug from a very cold Croatia and I´ll talk to you soon!
