Let me just drop this here. As many of you know, I love sharing the things I’ve learned while living this beautiful life God gave me. There are times in life when you need to stop apologizing and focus on your yourself and goals.
I once offended someone, and it wasn’t a minor offense. This was a situation that, if we sat down to discuss openly, would be understood differently by different people. Some people I spoke to said that wrong is wrong, but in this situation, I was not the only one at fault. Some people also said I take the majority of the blame due to the way I reacted, but that does not mean the situation did not have a root cause.
I kept apologizing over and over for more than a year, but at a certain point, I realized that this person had become accustomed to my apologies. It was no longer about the situation; the apologies reassured them that I was still in pain. I decided to test something, and now I want to share it with you.
Before I get into that, here are some things I’ve learned: never apologize more than twice. If you are genuinely sorry, don’t keep repeating it. Instead, apologize sincerely, and then take steps to correct the issue. Allow the other person to heal and decide whether they want to continue communicating with you. You cannot force people to forgive you, and that’s a part of life I appreciate. I offer a sincere apology, but if it's not accepted, I leave it between them and God. I refuse to be part of a grieving cycle or to stay stuck in that situation. If someone enjoys being sad, I won’t join them in their sadness. I choose happiness, and it’s okay if someone doesn’t want to forgive me, but I won’t put my life on hold waiting for them to move on from that situation. That can never be me again. If I have a goal, my focus will be on that goal.

Are you itching for a quick getaway to Dublin? Look no further! Join me on a whirlwind weekend trip to the vibrant streets of Dublin, packed with affordable flights, hotel drama, delicious dining experiences, and a sprinkle of unexpected airport experience.
Booking Your Trip:
I opted for an affordable two-way flight with EasyJet, keeping my travel expenses in check. Tip: Morning flights tend to be cheaper, but if you're not an early bird, consider the trade-off between cost and comfort.

Hey there! So, let me tell you about this dress—it's a total showstopper! Seriously, without even saying a word, it commands attention. Did you catch the video of it on Instagram? If you did, then welcome to the blog post dedicated to this stunning piece. I'm absolutely smitten with it. It's one of those rare finds that just clicks with you, you know? Monochrome never really felt like my thing, but this dress? It's like it was tailor-made for me. Hats off to Rosewe for knocking it out of the park with this one. And let me tell you, it looks even better in person than it does on the website.
I've always been a sucker for maxi dresses, no matter the season. Back when I was in Ukraine, they were practically my uniform. Now that May's here and the weather's playing nice, it's the perfect time to break them out again. Maxi dresses just have this effortless vibe about them, you know? And they make getting dressed a breeze. For this look, I kept it simple with a pair of sandals.
Now, let's talk about styling a monochrome dress. The key? Keep it simple. Black is your best friend when it comes to accessorizing a monochrome outfit like this one. Trust me, you can't go wrong. So, if you're on the hunt for a versatile, statement-making piece to add to your summer wardrobe, look no further than this Black and White Maxi Sleeveless Round Neck Dress from Rosewe. It might just surprise you, like it did for me.
Yesterday, I visited the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, which I planned as part of my weekend mini-tour. The day before, I cleaned my house, got new bed sheets, and bought scented candles from Tesco, which I'll share with you all later on the blog.
While I wanted to enjoy every bit of this experience, I also wanted to savor the view. So, while I was on the bus (I got a day ticket to move around), I set my phone aside, letting the music play as I looked around at the city. It was a sunny day, and I cherished every minute of the journey.
When I reached my bus stop, I got off in front of a charity shop, checked it out, and then walked down to the Riverside Museum. I had to use my map to navigate to the location and received help from a lovely woman too.
Guess what was the first beauty I saw on my way? It was the River Kelvin, a tributary of the River Clyde in northern and northeastern Glasgow, Scotland. It rises on the moor southeast of the village of Banton, east of Kilsyth.
Anyway, when I arrived at the museum, there was a lot to see, I must say. I enjoyed every bit of history and experience, from the old street view to the various modes of transportation like cars, bikes, trains, and ships. It was an immersive experience that transported you back in time.This made me wonder why much of this has changed because most of those cars seemed sturdier than the ones we have today, and the trains had robust bodywork. I even saw some unique bicycles.
I honestly love old cars, or if you prefer, vintage cars. I hope to own a Lada someday.
Just before I entered the ship exhibit, my phone died, and I couldn't take photos of it. I had my Chromebook in my bag, so I plugged it in, but it wasn't charging for long, for reasons I don't know yet, but I'll check later.
Well, when my phone managed to power up, I quickly took photos. Also, it was about time since I purchased a large frame from the charity store I needed to pick up before 5, so I had to leave without fully enjoying the ship exhibit. I plan to visit again, this time looking so good or wearing a dress because I will take photos of the ship and also have that summer beauty glowing.
This place is free entry and you get free water tap at the entrance. At the entrance I was given a site plan to add my experience.
Lana's daughter Emma comes back from London with news of her upcoming wedding next month. The situation takes a twist when Lana discovers that the man who captured Emma's heart is the son of the individual who shattered hers many years ago.
This movie is about a bride and her mother who dated the father of her future husband in high school. They only discovered upon arrival at the hotel in Thailand that her daughter was marrying the son of her former boyfriend, who left her unexpectedly.
It was an awkward situation that brought back a lot of memories for the mom, who even expressed her fear to her daughter that her ex's son might do the same thing to her. However, the daughter reassured her that they are two different people.
The movie revolves around love, comedy, and fun. Its high-quality production keeps you glued to the screen, giving a sense of déjà vu, but this time, the mother of the bride is the one with an ex present at the wedding venue.

She's not allowed to write her own vows, wear the dress she likes, or do what she wants because her daughter, an influencer, is sponsored by designer brands and wants to promote them on her big day. The mother feels her daughter is losing sight of what's important and isn't happy about it, leading to a fight between them. This results in the mother confronting her ex why he left her without a word during their younger years.
Additionally, the mother attracts an admirer who seeks a date with her and witnesses her encounter with her ex after an evening boat ride. It's awkward, but watching the movie is both fun and cool.

Are you someone who loves to take walks in the park in the summer, just like me? I never miss the opportunity of going to the park in the summer, especially living in Scotland, where there is actually no summer weather, realistically speaking, because you still have to dress warm either way in the evening and some days are cold, so it's just more like in one month of the year we get to experience some days of good sunshine, some accompanied by rain and cold nights.
However, on those days that give us that extreme summer feel, we have to dress to suit the weather. I always make sure I soak myself in the sunshine to feel the sun. I love the sun a lot, and since I like taking a walk in the park, I am sharing what to wear for a walk in the park.
Let's talk about breathable clothes. They're essential for everyone. Even in blazing summers, you can stay cool and chic. Sip cold drinks and wear breathable fabrics to keep your style game strong without overheating.
These fabrics are like magic under the sun, stopping you from feeling too hot and sticky. Ideal for places where it's always warm, they let air flow through, so you stay fresh and comfy all day.
When should I wear breathable clothes? Well, summertime calls for it! Especially in places like the subcontinent, where the summers get hot and sticky. It's not just the heat, but also the dust and sweat that make things challenging.
So, opt for those lovely dresses made from breathable fabrics, like the Tribal Print Breathable Black A Line Sleeveless Dress. Light and natural materials are key when the temperature rises.

Wear comfortable flats that let you walk freely without dragging your feet and raising dust.
When taking a walk to the park, I like to go without a bag. I like to keep it as simple as I can, which means I just walk around and sit and view the environment and watch people. I like to disconnect from my phone and be in real life, and if need be, I sit on the grass and enjoy the sun
Going to the park is one of the best things I love to do, but just before I conclude, I got my white slippers from Zara.
