99 of life's best little moments #87
Staying cozy inside while it's raining outside. The best kind of rain is the kind that makes you want to cuddle up and stay in bed just a little bit longer, watch TV programs you forgot existed, mix a mug of rich hot chocolate and look out your window with a feeling of contentment

99 of life's best little moments #89
Those mornings after a tough work out the day before when you don't want to exert another ounce of effort but you wish you had nothing else to do so that you could go back for another session at the gym.

99 of life's best little moments #90
That can't-put-my-finger-on-it-feeling that it's Sunday, when it's really only Wednesday... and I really love Sundays.
Happy hump day

99 of life's best little moments #91
Spring is hereeeeeee
Romanian traditions: today it's Mărţişor, celebrating the beginning of spring
On this day the ladies receive a charm consisting of a jewel or small decoration tied to a delicate red and white wool rope. Snowdrops are also gifted as they are the first flowers to pop up from underneath the snow and announce the new season.
The charm is worn around the wrist or pinned at the chest until the spring truly shows its first signs -- when the cuckoo is first heard singing, the cherry blossoms bloom or the first group of returning storks is seen in the sky. The charm is then hung onto a tree branch to bring luck and success in the upcoming year.
The symbolic red and white colors twisted around each
other stand for the contrast between winter and summer, or, in another interpretation red, symbolizing life, fire and the sun is attributed to the female, while white is a symbol of water and the sky andl of masculinity.
