Second podcast episode – March inspiration

March is already over so I decided to sit down and think about all the beautiful moments that have become my inspirations and made this month more amazing. I’m going to share them with – it’s not a chronological list but a simple note from my journal. Here we go!

 

1. Weekend in Berlin

On the second weekend of March I went to Berlin to meet my one and only and spend time with him. He lives in Germany now and even if it’s just next to my country, we can’t see each other very often because flights are very expensive… but we try our best to meet at least once per month. We were so lucky with the weather! It was very sunny both on Saturday and on Sunday. We walked a lot and visited a lot so I really appreciated this weekend.

 

2. International Women’s Day

Very funny, I spent this day only with women, haha! Started with my grandma, then I met my sister and my mum and in the evening I went to the Women’s Circle Meeting. I already talked about this meeting here on the blog, but let me talk about this a little bit more :) it was a very beautiful experience and I was surprised how other women were open, I mean no taboo topics. And even though I was the youngest there, I felt very comfortable and I could share my thoughts without any fear of being misunderstood because of my age. Highly recommended and one of the biggest March inspirations!

3. Coffee at café MIEL in Poznan

MIEL is a coffee shop in Poznan, the city I live. One of my favorite, it’s in the city center and the interior is just gorgeous! And my friend works there. I spent a lot of time there to write my final term paper for studies and now I love to go there and work a bit – planning my weeks, writing posts etc. If you ever come to Poznan you have to go there for a cup of coffee!

4. Walks walks walks.

Recently I’ve started to walk a lot. I live in the city center now so actually everything is near to my place so instead of taking a bus or a tram I walk. Sometimes I walk because there’s no connection with public transport but it’s not a problem for me. A good podcast and I can walk everywhere.

5. 30 Days of Mindful Movement: Spring Reset – AloYoga YouTube channel.

This is a huge thing! Yoga is now my everyday physical activity and in March I came back to a YouTube channel I had found couple years ago – AloYoga. They have a lot of practices for 10, 15, 30 or 45 minutes. I found out that they also have playlists with challenges – 30 days of Mindful Movement. There are three options and I chose Spring Reset to prepare my body for spring. A very good one, again highly recommended.

6. Oatmeal with pear.

I’m an Oatmeal Queen, you know that. This month was all about oatmeal with pear. To prepare my oatmeal I use oats, chia seeds, poppy seeds and nuts. I cook it with oat milk or another plant based milk then I decorate it with some topings like hemp seeds, chocolate drops, coconut flakes, peanut butter and of course a pear. Pure deliciousness.

7. Amazing ritual at the beauty salon.

I had a chance to take part in a presentation of a ritual at the beauty salon in Poznan. It was an amazing and very relaxing experience which made me feel like in heaven. This ritual consisted of cleansing, moisturizing and oiling skin and in some moments there was a massage with a silk scarf. This massage was like gentle touch and it felt so good and my skin afterwards was much more than just happy so I decided to go more often to a beauty salon and let a specialist to take care of my skin.

8. A lot of sunshine!

No need to say more – the weather was beautiful! I’m a sun person so when it’s sunny I feel more energized. Hopefully sun will come back because now the recent days were cloudy and grey.

9. French Tuesday on my Instagram.

Another small project that I’ve started last year. There was a small break when I didn’t posted a story in French because I had a lot of work but now I came back to this project and it feels so good to do it again! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out my Instagram and look at my highlights – ‘Basia parle français’. Hope you enjoy!

10. Podcast.

The biggest thing I did in March. I’m still a little bit confused how to deal with a podcast and a blog but I’m trying to find the perfect way that works. We will see! Also, I’m thinking about making episodes in English, but it’s still in a thinking process. Nevertheless I’m excited and curious how this project will evolve.

And that’s it! Tried to make that post not so long, but… yeah, forgive me! Hope you enjoyed :) Tell me how this month was to you, it’s always a pleasure to get your messages and share the inspiration.

with love
