7 pounds - a really good film to watch

Hi there! 
Recently I had some more time and I watched a few films. One, that really stands out from the rest is a movie with a title “Seven pounds”. This movie is from 2008 and it’s in the 50th place out of 500 in the ranking of the films on Filmweb. Will Smith starts as a man who had an accident in which 7 people died including his fiancĂ©. Now he wants to change a life of 7 people by donating them his own vital organs. By stealing his brother federal IRS identification he is able to find out sick people and to visit them and check if they are a good people. During this process he fell in love. Is he going to commute suicide or would he change his mind? You have to watch this film to find out. 
In my opinion this movie is really good because after you done with watching it you start thinking about life. What if...? It appealed to me, and I was quite shocked how it ends. It also shows how important it’s to be a good person and also to remember to appreciate our life’s that can end in one second. 
I think that everyone should watch this masterpiece and then spend 5 minutes and just think about their lives and be happy of the people and things that surround them.

Make-up is one-size-fits-all - what does it mean?

Hi there!
Today I would like to write about, in my opinion, really controversial topic which are men that wear make-up. Lately, on Instagram and other social media platform we can see a lot of boys that are putting make-up on their face, and they are really proud of that. Is it normal? Is make-up for everyone? As I mentioned earlier, I am really interested in make-up in general. I love trying new products, put them to the test and find the one that works the best for me. I am following a lot of beauty account on Instagram, and they are inspiring me to create new looks. Especially in 2017 the number of man with make-up increased. To be honest sometimes they can do their make-up better than women do. Usually there are a different sexual orientation but I don’t want to talk about that. Recently Patrick Starrr a really known make-up artist collaborated with Mac Cosmetics. His quote is: Make-up is a one-size-fits-all. I think that this statement is very accurate. At the end of the day, it’s not important who wears make-up, what colour of the complexion has or what religions profess. What really matters whether is a good person. I personally don’t mind men that are putting make-up. Sure, it’s shocking, however, let people live the way they want.

Bologna - city of the towers

Hi there! 
Today I would like to write some facts about the city in Italy - Bologna where I spend 6 months during the Erasmus Program. To start of Bologna is the largest city of the Emilia-Romagna Region. It’s famous because of the oldest University in Europe - University of a Bologna founded in 1088. Bologna is called “la dotta, la grassa, la rossa” and that means la dotta - because of the university; la grassa - because of the fat cousin and la rossa - because of the red roofs and also the red cars - Lamborghini and Maserati which are produced in Bologna. This city is really interesting. The small streets with hundreds of different restaurants as well as huge and beautiful monuments. My personal favourite is the San Petronio Basilica which is the tenth-largest church in the world. I am in love with this city because there are a lot of different attraction. You can visit a museum, go and take a look at the “Small Venezia”, walk and breathe the air of this lovely city. Also, it’s really attractive for the young people, because the clubs are one of the best that I have ever been. I spent a really good time in this city, and I am sure that I will visit it again. I totally recommend visiting this city as well as different parts of Italy of which I will write later. 
Thanks!

New Year Resolution - are they worth making?

Hi there!
New Year is just around the corner. This year, unfortunately, the New Year’s Eve I am spending in bed because I have a pharyngitis and an antibiotic for ten days. To be honest, I am not that sad because I am not a huge fun of the New Year’s Eve. Back to the topic. New Year - new me. Probably the most use phrase at the beginning of the New Year. Lots of people want to lose weight, go to the gym, start a healthy lifestyle, travel more and learn new foreign languages. These are the resolution that we are planning to achieve during the whole year. Some of them we stop doing in less than a month or even we don’t even start to change anything in our lives. You may be wondering, is it even worth to think about the New Year resolution when we already know that we can’t achieve tchem?
In my opinion YES. I prepare my list every year, and yes - it’s true that in March I already forgot about all the things that I wanted to change in my life but it doesn’t discourage me. This year I am really determined to change something in my life as well as achieve some goals. I think that the most important thing is to remember that we make them to change something in our life not in someone else. Don’t share them with a lot of people. Believe in yourself, and, I am sure that you are capable of achieve at list one point from your list. 
Thanks
