Be a tourist in your hometown

Hello everybody!
Today I decided to share with you an idea that I've been trying to develop for better than 2 weeks. Now, I've got this idea 1 year ago, but at that time, I didn't had the motivation to do that, and I don't know what happend but now I do.
What is this all about?

Basically, all you have to do is to visit as much as you can from your hometown. I'm planing on visiting my town in about 3 days, and I'll try to see as much as I can only in this 3 days, but you can do it for a week or even the whole mounth.
When?
I don't know right now when exactly I'm going to put this project on move, but it will most probably be either next mounth or in August. Either way, be sure I'll be anouncing this a week before the actual "event".
What I want you to do for this?
Post in the comment photos with you visiting your hometown or if you want to put them on Instagram or twitter please, please, please tag me or/and add #touristinyourfictionalhometown.
You can find my social-media on the "contact me" page. If you are wondering why is there "fictional hometown" is because every town is beautiful and it looks like it is out of a fictional world, no matter where you live. :D
Hope you have a magnificent week, have fun and see yeah soon!!! :*

3 things to do while volunteering

Hello there beautiful people!
Here is a short post for you! So...most of you already know that I volunteer at HOSPICE Casa Sperantei, and you already know that I definitely recommend to volunteer at least once a year. I've searched a bit the Internet, and there is no post that says what to do when you volunteer. And yeah, it might sound strange that I'm telling you what to do...but here are just 3 easy things that I want you to do while volunteer, because it is free!
1. Whatever you do...do it with love: I know...It sounds so clichee...but it is true. Whether you are taking care of someone, or just create something that later on will be sold... do it from your heart. Don't expect anything back, and just do it because you want to.
2. Stop for a second and look around: Again whether you are taking care of someone or you are having a crafting session, like I mainly do, take a break and look around. Look at all this volunteers that are here for the same reasons as you are. To help making the world a better place. Now that you see all this it is time for the last step.
3. Smile: Do this simple move, because I'm sure you found 1-2 volunteers that you are friends with, or if you got the luck I had (and I really hope you do), up to 15 really good friends (and they know who they are). I am really grateful for the friends I have made, and I am really happy that I was lucky enough to find them . They help me whenever I need
and I always try to do the same, even though I'm not sure it works. Also, I am forever grateful for my sister, who got me into volunteering, and told me that it is going to be fun, and she was so right. I am always having such a great time in there, and knowing that at the same time I'm helping someone makes me even happier.
I really hope you will do this things next time you volunteer somewhere, and I really hope that you are doing so very well. Remember! You are never alone. Always talk to someone you trust, because it forever helps.

                                                                                      XOXO,
                                                                                                Diana V.

Wrap Up:April 2016

Hey guys!
This mounth was pretty full for me, but I still got to read some books :)
I'm gonna get started then.
The first book I've read is "The statistical probabilty of Love at first sight" by Jennifer E. Smith...and I loved it... mainly because I went for a week in London, and I related to the main character sooo much. YEAH... I did not sit near a cute guy...but the trip was really nice. And I got a Ron Weasley wand(wich this is really out of the subject). I gave that book 4/5 stars just because it was a little bit clichee...but you know ... I do enjoy this type of books.
Next I've read "Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief" by Rick Riordan and I absolutly love it....I am not sure if I said this before on this blog, but reading Percy Jackson is like rereading Harry Potter....but with Greek Gods....Kind of...I don't know...I really like this series and I can't wait to read the next ones. 5/5 stars for this one.
Lastly, I've read "Between Shades of Grey" by Ruta Sepetys and even though you could see that coming... it still was a beautiful book with a really strong message and I absolutly loved this one as well. And I'll also rate it 5/5 stars.
So...even if I didn't read that many books, I still really enjoyed all the book I've read and also, I am not sure how much I am going to read this mounth because I have my finals, though I'll really try to post updates or at least one book review.
Hope you have an amazing week, and let me know what you read this mounth.
                                                                     XOXO,
                                                                         Diana

Wrap Up: March 2016

Hello, everybody!
So...March was a really good reading mounth for me, because, even though I had been busy with school, I also got to read 6 books, and most of them I absolutly love them.
The first book I've read was "The begining of everything" by Robyn Schneider, and I have a review on that one, on my blog, and I believe I gave it 4/5 stars.
Then I've read "Adolescenta pe tocuri" by Maria Benga and Andra Boros, and the reason why you might don't understand the title it is because it is a Romainian book, by Romanian authors, so yeahhh... I t wasn't the best book I've read, and at a point I found it a bit boring, but it was okay. I think I will rate it 2/5 stars.
Then I've read "The Alchimist" by Paulo Coelho, and I do enjoyed this book, a lot, and I'll rate it 4.5/5 stars. It was a really quick read, I believe I've read it in a day, I think it was inspirational, and even if this was a really big metaphor, you can easily see the message behind the story.
"Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare was my fourth read of the mounth and I absolutly loved it, I gave it 5/5 stars, and Will <3 <3.
"The decision book" was a non-fiction book, and I don't pretty much know what I should say about it...I mean...it was okay...but I don't have to many things to say about it.
The last book I've read in march was "Divergent" by Veronica Roth and I absolutly adore this one as well, I gave it 5/5 stars, and as a matter of fact, today I've purchased the othre two books, and I can't wait to read them. Fun fact: I am reading them with one of my bestfriend's, we are both reading them for the first time and we love this series.
And this is my march wrap up...yeah...I know...it is a bit late...sorry for that.
Hope you have an amazing week.....Bye!
                                                                            XOXO,
                                                                                    Diana.

Grid 2016

Hello there beautiful people!
Unfortunetly, my march wrap up is not yet here, because if you follow me on Instagram and snapchat  you will know that I'm not actually home!
I'm at Grid!! And if you don't know what's that, basically Grid is a village near Brasov, about an hour or so, in Romania.
So, yeah....that is a big reveal....I'm from Romania!
Anyway...I'm here since friday, and I've done some pretty cool activities!
My activites includes photography, wich you will see some of them in here, and also reading.
I'm am curently reading "The sky is everywhere" by Jandy Nelson, and "The statistic probability of love at first sight" by Jennifer E. Smith.
Then I took my penny bord, and I started skating.
And I fell of the bord and hurt my leg, and I stood put for a little bit.

But then I was back in the game!
Also, I took a bike ride to a villege near our pension, and it was amazing. If you ever got the chance to travel to the country side, just take your bike with you and go for a bike ride. It is going to free your mind completely but it will also blow it away. You are going to see everything  that is beautiful in this world and you are going to apreciate it.
This is what my weekend trip lookd like, anyway I hope you have an amazing weekend and I wish you an amazing week!
                                                                                                           

                                                                                XOXO,                                                                                                        Diana
P.S.: I am so sorry for puting this post so late, I writed it on sunday, but when I came home, I was tired, and yesterday a.k.a. monday, my wifi went down, and I just couldn't post it.
P.P.S.: I am also going to post my March Wrap Up, later today, so keep an eye out for that.

The beginning of everything: Book Review Spoiler Free

What they say: Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them—a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: in one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra’s knee, his athletic career, and his social life.
       No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra’s ever met, achingly effortless, fiercely intelligent, and determined to bring Ezra along on her endless adventures.
      But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. And now he must consider: if one’s singular tragedy has already hit and everything after it has mattered quite a bit, what happens when more misfortune strikes?
What I say: In my opinion, this book was a really good book, because it has a love story and also friendship......and it is a contemporary (my favourite genre).
        First of all, this book is one of that book wich stays with you for quite a long time. I'm still thinking of this book and I finished it last weekend.
        I am not going to spoil you, with anything, and this is not a Harry Potter book to say that everybody should read it, because you don't have anything so important to learn from it. I'm just going to say, that there is an unexpected ending.
        Second of all, though the start of the book marked me, and I wasn't sure I wanted to continue reading, I'm glad I did, because I think it was amazing. The characters were so real for me and it was really easey to get absorbed by the story. And let me just tell you, that Harry Potter was mentiond 7 times in this book (without that times when it was reapeting, which was just 2 times)....I mean....what....7 times.....the magic number from Harry Potter.
        Anyway....All in all this book was really nice and I think it was worth the time I spent on reading it. I recomend it to everybody who likes contemporary books, but keep it in mind that you might not like it at first.
        I mean, this book might have a lot of fans, but I think it also has a lot of haters.
        Also this are all my opinions and I would really like to hear you opinion on this book, so let me know what you think about it in the comments.
       I'll rate it 4/5 stars.
                                                                                               XOXO,
                                                                                                     Diana <3

Wonder: Book Review Spoiler Free

NON-SPOILER

What they say: "August Pullman wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things. He eats ice cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside.
But Auggie is far from ordinary. Ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?"

What I say: I have to admit that I really enjoyed this book. Yes! It is a kids book, but it was really fun to read, and I think  that even the adult will have something to learn from.

          First of all, the book was narrated from many points of view, not only his family, but also the persons around him. To be honest, my favourite perspective was Via's, because, she became my favourite character and I kind of realeted to her in a way. I don't know what exactly made her my favourite character, perheps that she was close to my age, but I can say that I liked the way she always took Auggie's side.

          Secon of all, the book really helped me in understanding better what some people who have this rare illnes are going through, and that you should never judge sombody by his/her face.

          All in all, this book was amazing, I absolutly love it, and I really enjoyed to find out more about this really rare illnes. As I said at the start of this review, I recomend this book to anybody, any age, because even the adults can lear from it.

I'll give it a 5/5 stars, because this book is one of this books who stays with you for a really long time.

Hope you enjoyed my review, and hope you have an amazing day because I don't and I hope everything it's going to be ok.

                                                                                        XOXO,

                                                                                           Diana <3
