Bright colors in a grey winter

I miss you guys so much, but time is crazy: where is it running so fast?! Catholic Christmas and New Year was celebrated in a wonderful way: with a family. It was a second time when on Christmas Eve I was surrounded by the big husband's family. Hope so much that once also my relatives would unite and could spend good time together.
Still, most of the time I spend in my office work, in Vecmilgravis, in Riga Port. So finishing work at 6 p.m. I don't have much time and energy to go downtown to discover some cool places. Still I discovered one great thing in an old place. In a shopping center's Alfa 2nd floor is an Art store. It's been there for a really long time, but just yesterday I discovered that they also offer printing on canvas, and you can not only bring your image, but to choose one from the several galleries catalogues. There are reproductions of an art masterpieces: both classical and modern, photos... We spent about an hour or so choosing the image for our bedroom. Also great thing is that they can print also really big-sized images, just exactly what we needed. So now I just have to wait till image will be ready to be put on the wall. Promise to make a photo of it and share it with you.
As the winter is pretty grey this year, I try to surround myself with some brightness and positive emotions. Blog isn't an exception, so now the blog has a new view and a new userpic. I like it, and do you?

Christmas store

See my friends, as I started working I don't know what to write about in here. I'm still running across the city, but mostly in "must_visit" kinda places. Now before Christmas it's a crazy time: on Saturday we couldn't even find a parking place near the shopping center Spice. Anyway, there's always a way to discover something new and interesting.

I love Sunday mornings. Early mornings. When it's dark, there are no people on the street, almost no cars... peace and quite. I had some business to do in a shopping center Mols and eventually I discovered new store there: Christmas store (Ziemassvētku veikals). When I enter a new shop I feel like Columbus. So, what's interesting in this store? There you can find different latvian craft, Latvian style clothes, bath&shower stuff, body care stuff, yearbooks, accessories and etc, and etc. Nice surprise to me was that prices there are a lot lower then in other stores for the same goods. So if you are planing to visit the Mols before X-mas looking for presents, go directly to this store. Really good one.

Shopoholic's day

Haven't written for a while: kinda crazy time I am having, but I like it! Last Friday was very girlish day: after another work interview I went shopping. So, now I have another pajama/home suit from British brand La Senza (from what I can get it Latvia, they have best underwear and home clothes). Then with great discount I've bought truffles from Emil Gustav Chocolate. Personally I don't eat chocolate: I'm allergic for it, but as far as I can remember, Emil Gustav Chocolate made really great cookies, but I preferred Lindt chocolate rather then this one. But you know, with great discount why not to make sweet-suprprise for the dear person?
So, then I went to the center to buy cosmetics. As some of you know I am also working as make-up artist (check out my photo- and make-up works here http://dramarteu.blogspot.com/) and I was happy to know to find out that in shopping center Stockmann (that big monstrous building in a very center of the city) are discounts for cosmetics of Make Up For Ever. Despite it was only 2nd sales day, they already are running short of products, but sweet consultant promised they'll have more products soon. Also she was so kind to give me great gifts: make-up bag and 2 blushes! That's really cool, if you ask me.
Also I'd watched another romantic movie. Really nice one, if you like romantic movies as I do. Check out a trailer :) And have a great time!
