❀ Brigitta Pasztor ❀: london

Hi my lovelies,

as you can see the title this post will be a little bit personal.

Moving to London was one of the best choices I made, leaving it was so hard, but for my own growth and health I needed to make that decision.

There are days when I really miss being there, so I thought I'll share a couple of things that I miss the most, obviously not in the most serious ways.

1. Mentality - Be whoever you want to be, no one cares - everyone is freaking out, when they have to talk to somebody on the tube, you remember those tube chat buttons?
2. Complain culture - Really, what I learned first, that you need to have an opinion, and you need to make your voice heard. :D

3. Being careless about the red traffic lights - like one of the first people I saw crossing the streets by red traffic lights were police officers :DDD - no need to comment here.
4. Buses - I mean they look so great, but not the favourite public transport, not to mention how many different kind of people were on the buses.
5. Maps in the city - That's actually crap in the country, where I live right now. I loved that you saw maps almost at every stops/stations.
6. Oyster card - I can't believe, but I almost miss TFL, I mean I complained about it all the time, but c'mon I miss those cards, yes cards, I had like three. :DD
7. Trees and sunsets - Yeah, it's basically the same here, but not at all, I just miss them. Magnolias...

8. Houses - Everything looks the freaking same. Could you miss that? Possible not, but those houses are still on my mind.

9. Donuts - I ate so many there, ooooh and Halloween candy. :( Poor me, someone please send me a nice care pack.
10. Prices - Literally I'm freaking out here, I mean how could be everyhing cheaper on the island?
11. Primark - I don't need to write anything here. Send me clothes as well.
12. Events - Obviously everything was so amazing there, store events, fashion events, public events, blogger events. EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD. Take me back.
13. Volunteering - Miss the Team London team. :(
14. Free - Museums and free entries for cultural places, miss you Van Gogh.

15. Books - for free, there is no complain about that.
16. Free cash withdrawals - Yes, that was great, anytime from any ATM.

London, I truly miss your beautiful soul, but also I'm glad to get out from your madness.

You're one of the craziest. ;)

Hope to see you again in the future.

Take care!

If you think about what makes you happy... do you call that thing or person happiness? Or how would you describe happiness?

A current research shows that even healthy well living people are unhappy. How "shocking", right? If you are working hard for your money - you always think you would be happier if you would be wealthier.

But the ugly truth is that you wouldn't.

We always have excuses for why we are not happy at the moment. We try to masquerade our present. We do it with purpose... all the time. But the question is, what is the purpose of our act of refusing happiness. Do we think we don't deserve to be happy? Why we can't accept that every day is a gift and this fact alone could be already enough to be happy. To be alive should mean we are happy.

Despite the beauty of nature and good people, we are never satisfied. We think that everything was easy for Charles, and Emma never needed to work for anything because of her pretty face. She/he has that/made that... but here I am and I am nothing. I always tried my hardest, but it was always difficult for me. No one believed in me, and no one helped me. I have no money, and I don't have a great network, so I can't start a business. I have dreams, but they are fading away. I always look tired because my life is hard, maybe harder than yours... Familiar thoughts?

Of course, it's hard, and of course it's easier for others, but here's the thing: you deserve to be happy.

Your life won't change for one day to another, but start to learn about happiness. People will hate on you, if you are happy. They will suggest right away, that you are only happy because you have an easy life.... but don't be ashamed to be happy.

Don't hide your own smile just because other people think they have a miserable life.

Do we need to spend millions of pounds on research or do we just need to focus on the fact that it's okay to feel good?

They will eventually find out that people who are thankful for life are happier, and that people who don't worry every single day about work or how embarrassing that event was ten years ago are happier.

That's why I started this magazine, find the happiness inside us, see the lights of the life. Share your smile and try to find lovely people. Find connections, stay connected, and never feel that you are not enough for love or respect.

Love,

Brigitta

PS.: I met this amazing lady last year, thanks to her I laughed so hard that my stomach was hurt for days. I choose this picture because we couldn't stop laughing during making photos. We are not the prettiest on this one but I hope you can see that we were pretty happy on this day.

Hi everyone,

Once upon a time, there was a day when I made my tea "wrong" I wondered, why the taste was so strange, then I realised I forgot to put sugar in it, since that day I drink my tea without sugar.
The only way I like it sweet when my dad makes it. He can make the best tea actually.
This is a fact (for me)
London changed many things in my life. One thing is for sure my relationship with tea. I feel like we are getting more emotional with every day. Working in a place where is everything about tea is pretty nice and interesting.
I never thought I would ever attend a Tea & Cheese Tasting. But as the wise people saying, never say never.

1.: Kyle and Robbyn, our hosts 2.: Trinity Buoy Wharf is magical 3.: Cheese!

The days were running after each other and the calendar showed the 8th October.
You know that people are loving the pairing of cheese and wine, but if it's tea and cheese? Some people may think you just gone crazy. But you just need to try it.
I never was a cheese person, I like it, but I never got excited about it.
If I can be honest (surely I can be more than honest here) it was surprisingly a taste sensation.
I never felt flavors so intense, it was a strange and great experience.

There were 6 pairing as you can see on the picture as well.

Green tea with Tripple cream - in other words, my favourite pairing. It was more than nice, the cheese melted like the tea and the cheese danced in your mouth.
Hojicha (Japanese tea) with Brie de Meaux - After the first pairing, you just don't ask anything, you try to reach your maximum capacity of your taste buds. And you actually kind of doing 'mmmm' sounds every seconds.
Oolong with Morbie
Oolong with Taleggio - the third and fourth cheese goes with the same tea (taste is already different). You can feel the difference. If I need to choose then the Taleggio is more likely for me.
Assam with Compte - Alpine herbs and flavours. Assam is a very intense tea, and this is my reason to not to like this pairing so much. Probably I need to make a step forward, grow up, and starting a new friendship with Assam.... who knows.
Finally Jasmine pearls with Gorgonzola Picante - such an interesting pairing. This tea is magical! I'm not kidding it's like you drinking flowers. Usually I like it and the other times I feel like it's too much. So intense.

If you think you will be not full after this event, you are just so wrong. I felt like I ate so much, that I needed to rest a little, when I got home :D

You can find many useful information about tea at the Tea Studio website.
