Tarangire National Park – Tanzania
During our entire trip to Tanzania, what impressed me the most was our 2-day safari on the Tanzanian mainland. Tarangire National Park is beautifully situated in the eastern part of Tanzania. It may not be as famous as Serengeti or Ngorongoro, but it has a lot to offer. It is primarily known for its numerous gigantic African baobab trees and herds of elephants. The name Tarangire comes from the river that flows through the park, the Tarangire River. The park covers a vast area, approximately 2,600 square kilometers. During our visit, we were fortunate to see a lioness hunting, a leopard – or rather a leopardess, African elephants, African buffalo,…

Zanzibar Tales – Delicious Food, Beautiful Beaches, and Hakuna Matata :)
We flew to Zanzibar in early September, a time when the tourist season is a bit quieter – read: not too crowded. The weather was fantastic, with daily temperatures hovering around 28 degrees Celsius. We rented an apartment in a two-story bungalow with a stunning terrace right by the ocean. The resort was located near Paje on the east coast, which was perfect for me, a sunrise enthusiast. During our two-week stay, we explored: Now, onto the food – it was delicious everywhere we went. We dined at our hotel’s restaurant, which boasted masterful cuisine.

50 Years Young…
… as my Son put it. Yes, today is my 50th birthday 🙂 And you know what’s interesting? When I was 42, 45, or 48, I was really apprehensive about this round, symbolic anniversary – a symbol of old age, gray hair, being a grandparent, nearing the twilight of life 🙂 But here I am, feeling a complete sense of calm, and internally, I feel like I don’t fit the stereotypical images at all. So yes, I’m welcoming my 50th birthday with gray hair, but I think I’m still far from the typical grandma image 🙂 I still feel young, active, optimistic, full of energy, eager for knowledge, ready to…

A natural lotion to strengthen the hair growth
Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you a recipe for my magical homemade hair tonic.

Silver way – my gray hair care under transformation:)
Today, I want to share with you my journey of embracing my natural gray hair, which has now been ongoing for 8 months! Alongside this decision, I also had to make changes to my hair care routine. The biggest shift has been my introduction to purple shampoos and new conditioners… But let’s start from the beginning… 2. Conditioners: After rinsing, I apply rinse-out conditioners about 4 cm from the scalp and let them sit for around 2-3 minutes. Sometimes, I also use purple conditioners, like the one from the picture – Maroccanoil. However, my hair doesn’t particularly love this one (it tends to feel a bit overloaded), or Shimmer of…
