14th day of the Second month..

HELLO HELLO!
To all the single ladies out there! To all the ready-to-mingle-and-pringle! To all the proud and independent ladies who don't need a man! To all the single man out there as well tho.. this post will be NOT one of the cliche posts you see all over "What to give to your man?" "What do women want this Valentines?" blahblahblah all the pink and ribbony things will NOT appear in this post! In stead of satisfying a tiny percentage of couples who i think, should think of the present based on how much they know their partner and not google, Im going to give you ideas on how to appreciate being single on 14th of February and say no to the mainstream 'Dead love bonfires' of burning the toys and clothes you had received from your failed lovers a la Friends Episode, or overdose of cheap chocolate while watching those cliche 'Notebook" and other Nicolas Sparks movies the typical white girl things to do on the 14th day of the Second month of the year.. 
As you may know from my previous post, i was sick this entire last week, and nope, i didn't get to go to my school's International Dinner, which made me pretty sad and as im one typical example of a white girl - Beyonce, Coldplay and Maroon 5 play list was on repeat that night. Throughout the night of endless scrolling through my feeds, i found thousands of posts and pictures, joking about the single people doing nothing on Valentines day, so thats what inspired me to think about things Id do if i was single on the day when streets fill in with walking hands-holding couples and flower-selling man running around!
Hope you enjoy this, and tomorrow, comment how you spent your day! Cos after few days, ill show you what i did and what i wore:) hehe To stay more tuned and updated by minutes , follow me in Instagram (@manyashaa) and Twitter (@manyashaaaa)  :) 
Well, lets get to it:
1. As on this day people show their love, i think it would be nice to show how much you love yourself! Exercise, go for a walk with just updated playlist or visit beauty salon, massage or manicure will make you feel so much better! Who knows, maybe so beautiful and fresh you might meet your destiny on your way home - you never know :) If staying home - order sushi - sushi are fancy :) If movies - choose fashion movies, or comedy movies! Or something very scientific - its been my obsession lately - movies like Interstellar and theory of everything made me very into science and all the smart things - basically the things i can't do haha
2. Some might be falling in love with people this day, but you will fall in love with new things you're about to do! Trying new things are the way to get you r mind away from the casual routine and step out of your comfort zone, which actually doesn't have to happen! You can try yoga or ballet lessons, go to cinema with girls (50 shades of grey trailers and short releases got me pumped and i can't wait to see it :); if you'd rather stay home try cooking new things, desserts or international cuisine! Maybe one day you'll surprise your loved one with the variety of things you could do (thats my aim tho.. but for now all i can do is my chocolate cake - which is pretty useful in any situation :P )
This day i dare yo to challenge yourself to try something you havens done before!
3. Participate in a Secret Valentines! Which is  basically secret santa but on Valentines day! This is what Im doing with my girls now! Only few of us have boyfriends so for the rest we decided that this day - nobody is staying without a present! Plus its a reason to get all together in a cozy place, restaurant or someones house and joke on the sexy underwear you gave to each other which only your bed with share with you hahah!
4. Valentines day expectations are usually very exaggerated... I mean its a normal Saturday, if it was another holiday like Easter, i wouldn't even be writing this post. My point being, we don't need to overthink these type of things. Let happy couple enjoy their company even more on this day and we can enjoy the company of our friends, having just as much fun as if it was any other day of the year! Throwing a little party or get-together would sound nice! Even if it means just lame movies and pop corn, or cupcake making and hot chocolate while spilling our soul out, sitting by the fireplace!
In the end, id like to say that, obviosuly if you like to stay single, keep up with the good job your doing now, but if your seeking for your prince on a white horse, maybe going to new places, doing more things will increase the amount of different people you meet every day and maybe on of them will appear to be the one! So trying new things as i said would be th great opportunity! If you're not feeling comfy with yourself, a small make over will make you feel fresh! Shopping for different style of clothes, different make up details with create a whole new look for you! And with new look comes confidence! Confidence is the key :)

Well, there you go, my thoughts on how you can spend Valentines day :)
Hope you liked it!

Speaking from the taken and madly in love side of me, im super excited for tomorrow! The plans we've made are about to come true! Theres gotta be something in the nature of the Valentines day that would make a normal dinner out more romantic and a normal cinema visit cutter!
All though som things won't change this day - I will still carry my camera with me everywhere we go to capture everything as im the biggest memories collector ever and he will still be my photographer and shoot me whenever i want so i can share the happy moments with you! :)
Stay tuned and don't forget to follow me on the links above! Ill be posting a lot hihi

- xoxo Lots of Love, Masha

#Exposed

Hello people out there!
Since saturday night, after my day out with M i got home feeling ill.. and since then I've been tied to my pillow and blankets, 2 rolls of toilet paper and water. i could never think that being ill could make me so weak and unable to do literally anything, not even movies... #killme
So yeah, this is basically the reason why i didn't post this update for you guys of my Saturday date with M! As an Art student, i love broadening my horizons - visiting galleries, seeing art works of famous artists & studying their ways and techniques and when i get opportunity to go to a gallery or visit some exhibitions i do! This time it wasn't quite technique-admiring visit, but diversity is the key to make your work rich and catchy to many audiences! Since 14th of November, the exhibition of Photography by Bryan Adams "Exposed" had been open in the centre of cascais. Every weekend, or every art lesson Id remember about it and say that id go on the weekend but there it was 31st of January, 1 day before it closed when M had to drag me out of my house so Id actually see it before it closed! 3 floors of photos. Different people, different themes and messages, different stories behind the glass frame and black and white filter, which made them all have something in common. After quick run through the floors, as we had to come there 20 minutes before it closed, we decided to satisfy our little whales in our tummies, and drove to Casa da Guia, where I heard a restaurant, with best crepes, opened few month or maybe even day ago - called Bistro na Guia! The rumours were true - those pancakes with strawberries and maple syrup were heavenly good!! To sure those sweet moments with my man, who by the way owns all the credits for taking pictures of me, i wore: Zara shirt with spikes, Pull and Bear Jeggings, Uggs and to make it less greyish, I decided to add more colour with bright orange ear cuff from Forever 21 :) 
Well now, i gotta go take one more kilo of medicines to be up on my heels, this friday for my school International Dinner woop woop #letshope

Rebels.. | What is Normal Anyways?

Heiii!
Finally found the time to edit the photos and write you something..(on my free lesson on which, theoretically, i should be studying) ! 
I can officially admit that the overload wave of IB work, including 5 written tasks, 2 presentations, 1 book analysis i haven't actually read; everything that I´ve left for the last minute, had crushed my paradise beach of no worries and rainbow unicorns.. I started this week looking fresh and relaxed after the best weekend i could ever have but today, thursday the 22nd, I'm wearing my designer eye bags, my ´wanna be Jessica Hart´ buns and uggs, as last nights studying till late made my bed very jealous so she couldn't let me go today morning till my mom came in my room, shouting as if there was a fire in the house... 
Looking thought the photos makes my mind go away and review the movie-like experiences and adventures we had.. My imagination is that wild that i manage to put music in the background and view us from the third person which makes it veeery movie like.. but then my teacher be like ´Masha! Masha answer the question!´ and ruins all the magic in my head and butterflies in my tummy and i go back to algebra..calculus.. graphs... 
Remembering that day, as i said on my Photo Diary Post, the weather was surprisingly pleasant to wear my Ripped Jeans from H&M and an Olive Parka from Zara! My comfies Timberlands where literally like Range Rovers - Shoes for all roads ahah perfect for Portuguese Calcada and roads going up and down! A Simple t shirt with philosophical phrase ´What is normal anyways?´.. i don't usually buy or wear shirts with phrases or words cos usually they have no real smart meaning and even dumb sometimes.. which annoys me so id rather wear a plane shirt than something that doesn't make sense. But this tee from Stradivarius attracted me a lot and after i bought it i was thinking a lot what is normal anyways? So heres a question for you! Tell me your opinions in comments, id love to know! 
P.s. Im also planning on showing you the way you can us these ripped jeans for more classy type of event hihi :) Stay tuned <3

enjoy the happy photos of me in my wonderland:)

-xoxo Masha
