An update: Cakes, Fashion Week and Cosmo!

I'm not going to start this post with a promise to be back, because then Murphy's law will step in for sure... But I do want to say hello to all of you and apologize for my way-too-long absence! :) So, hi!! I missed the blogging world so much and I'm really excited to be writing this looooooooooooong overdue post!

So, first things first, I need to update you on some things. Last time you heard from me, I was working at Yves Rocher, right? Well, unfortunately, I don't have that job anymore. :( The store is closing its doors in Slovenia (or possibly getting a new owner, I'm not sure) and all of us girls who worked there were let go. It was a really really sad moment for me, because you all know how much I loved to work there. It was my first job, and I loved it. The girls who worked there are simply amazing and I already miss them a lot. I will always have fond memories of Yves Rocher and I still love their products! Fortunately, in Slovenia we can still buy them online, so I will stay a loyal customer.

At first I was devastated about losing my job, but something else came along really quickly. I am now an intern at...

Omg whaaaaaaaaaaat? I still can't believe it! Cosmo had a competition to find a new writer and five girls (including yours truly) were chosen to participate. At the start of June, they will pick a winner. I was kind of hesitant about writing this here, because you know I'm pretty shy... But if any of you care, you can read my posts for Cosmo (in Slovenian, sorry!! :/) here: http://www.cosmopolitan.si/novinarka/ziva/. I've quickly come to love working at Cosmo. The girls who were chosen alongside me are all super sweet and I'm glad to be working with them. Also, our bosses are simply amazing. I can't believe I'm so incredibly lucky to work with such amazing people twice in a row, I feel really blessed. ^^

As part of our job at Cosmo, the five of us girls had the opportunity to go to the Ljubljana Fashion Week. Omg, that was one of the best experiences of my lifetime. I loved every moment of it and I wish FW happened every day! Here are two photos from FW with the girls I work with.

Oh yes, you may also notice that I cut my hair! :( Bleh, I'm still kind of upset about it, but it really had to go - it was really damaged and I hadn't cut it for... A YEAR AND A HALF. *gaspshockhorror* I know, I'm so bad with going to the hairdresser's. But now it has already grown a bit and I can't wait for it to be super long again! :)

I've also been really into baking lately. Cooking in general actually, but it's really quite expensive if you want to cook healthy for yourself, so I'm doing bit by bit and hoping to improve soon. I've also been really into vegan food lately (though I'll never go full vegan), but I love their desserts! Here is a vegan cake I made a few days ago, it's made of nuts, dates and cocoa, yummy!

I also realized that I've never even told you about my boyfriend, I just kind of started mentioning him here and there, which has to be quite confusing... Well, his name is Tilen, we've been together for 9 months now and I really couldn't be happier. I will talk about this a bit more in a later post, but I'm a really really shy person and I never had luck with boys... I was always quite upset about this, I would fall in and out of love periodically, and nothing ever happened, I just had these fantasies that never came true. Well today, I'm glad to call my best friend my boyfriend. We started off as friends and our relationship really blossomed into something special, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Everyone knew all along that he was the one for me, but I didn't want to believe it. But now I know, too. And now, for the first time in years, I'm happy, I'm in love, I'm living a fairytale, I'm cheesy as hell, but I don't even care because he's the one for me, and nothing will ever change that.

You know, my life so far seems like it's a fairytale. And I know I'm incredibly blessed, I'm lucky. So many amazing things happened to me and I feel like the fates changed on me and someone is looking out for me (I know who it is, too ^^). But not everything has been that great, and I feel like I have to pay the price for having so many amazing things happen to me...

I've been suffering from depression and panic attacks for almost my whole life and it's been really hard. Lately, I'm feeling better and worse at the same time. I will write more about this in a future post, which will be really personal, so I hope you guys will understand, because I need to get it off my chest. But I know one day I will be okay. I'm almost there.

For now, I will leave you with that. I have a lot of posts coming up, some of them are about books, another empties post (I have like buckets of things to show you guys!) and hauls... A lot of things!

I hope you liked this post, even though it was a bit different. I'm happy I'm here again. :) Talk to you soon!
