FALL NIGHT FAMILY PICNIC + FAMILY TAG

I thought it will be fun to answer at questions from Family TAG in this post in addition to the photos I took a few days ago. When I with my parents and family of my sister had little picnic. I think some of these questions are funny and it nice to answer them. 

1. If you were born first, what was your reaction to your new sibling(s)? I have only one sister that older than me (9 years 2 months difference), but as she have 7 years old daughter and I was in my early teenage years only when she was born and they lived with me for some time. I can say that it's pretty the same as I would have a little sister. My reaction was very good , but I hated when she was crying at nights and that I needed to spent too much time on it to help my sister.
2. What is the one thing that your sibling can do, that you can’t do? I can say about everyone, they all cook and I don't. I'm youngest in family and there rarely were needs to cook to me. Everytime I tried to cook, everyone says I only ruin meals, so yeah...
3. Who cooks good food? Mom or dad? My sister and grandnmother, actually. Sorry, mom.
4. What is your sibling’s favorite food nowadays? Pizza, always. Now, this season we do pumpkin pies and puncakes as well. 
5. Who is the most creative among you? Me and my sister in our own ways... although my grandmother is very creative as well. She had many creative jobs during 50 years of work.
6. If your sibling could, what’s one movie that they would watch forever? There are some old Ukrainian movies my parents always watch, also we watch Home Alone around Christmas.
7. What is one personality trait that your sibling has that you wished you had? I can't give straight answer, but if I wanted something, I would work at it.
8. What is the weirdest habit your sibling has? My father when he come home says ''Welcome'', although I'm who was at home. 
9. Which one of you is daddy’s boy/girl? Me, only me. My sister is closer to mom. Just dad wanted to have a boy as second child and it didn't happen, so I was kinda his son haha.
10. What is your father’s date of birth? If you're interested 14th of December 1965. He's only person who hadn't birthday this year yet.
11. Who is more likely to date someone based on their appearance? My mom, she decided to date my father because his hair. Ah good he has a good hair, if he hadn't, there wasn't me and this blog. I mean I'm who believe in souls and previous live, so I was just in another life.
12. If you got called that your sibling was in jail, what would be the first crime that comes to your mind? If it was my dad, I thought he could do something not very good to some ''big'' people, cause he doesn't care about how much money and power a person has, my mom with my grandma would probably steal some fruits from a tree for cooking, sister could have a fight with someone and I because I could sign documents without reading, as I did in winter and now have a little problem with it.
13. If you move away from your siblings, what will you miss most? My grandma's baking (she live in my neighborhood).
14. If you had children which one of your siblings would you trust to look after them? Mom and grandma... and wouldn't trust myself with kids haha.
15. What is one thing that has changed about your sibling as they have grown older? She stopped to act like she's my mom. There were not a good time for our relationships. Good we are grown up now.
16. Who is the most money-conscious sibling? My grandma, if on the other side of the city a bread a few cents cheaper she'll come there. She's just bored and love to walk;)
17. If your family life was a movie, which actor/actress will play their role? If there was mix of Tom Hanks and Johny Depp, it would my dad, Helena Bonham Carter as my mom, because they're both weird and Helena can play anybody, as my sister I see mix of Keira Knightley and Scarlet Johansson. And I'm not sure what actress looks kinda like me, they all way too pretty... Maybe mix of Mila Kunis and Emma Watson haha. I don't know.
18. Who is most mature among you siblings? Grandma and nobody else haha.
19. Which of you is the funniest? Maybe my mom. She loves jokes and to laugh.
20. Who is the one who is always ready for food? Daaaad.
21. Which one of you got married first? My mom was 18, dad was 20, my grandma was 21 and my sister was 22. For me all these ages are way too early to get married.
22. Which one of you is the laziest? Probably me, sometimes mom, sometimes dad in our own way.
23. If your sibling was a country, what country would it be? Dad is South Africa or something, cause he always have dark tan, my sister I imagine as Germany, mom is probably Poland, myself I see as USA cause pop culture, movies, social media, English language from west influenced me since my childhood.
24. Who is most likely to join army? My dad was in, before he got married to my mom.
25. Who do you thing will eventually end up in jail among you people? My dad could be friends with most of people there, but would have enemies as well, so there would be fights, my mom would tell jokes to everyone, my sister would probably escape, I would be very polite to everyone not to get into a trouble.
26. Do you believe your father actually loves your mother? 31 years later... I think so.
27. Who is more scary when angry, mom or dad? Mom, cause mom decides haha.

SPOOKY FALL TAG

Hello guuuuys. I always wonder when I realize the last post I posted was a week ago. Like is it really the time to post a new post... I mean the time when you needed to post a new post already a few days ago? I even didn't have to post something.
Okay, today I want to write the post that wanted to write in October, because it's kinda Halloweeny. But it's never to early for Halloween, because I like everything Halloween themed all year long. I have bat lights in my bedroom, you know. By the way, in October I'll try as as I can to post every single day. I know many bloggers are going to do it. Let me know if you too.

- Things you associate with autumn. I don't want to very predictable with yellow leaves, pumpkins, hot drinks and you know that all. Firstly, colors like mustard, burgundy, dark green, black and nails with clothes of these colors. Secondly, food like pies.... Apple pie, chocolate pie, pumpkin pie. By the way, two days ago I've tried the pumpkin latte for the fist time, so now I definitely associate autumn with it. Also I associate photography with fall. I think it's the best time to take pictures. And it's season of new starts, learning something new and trying achieve goals you was lazy for in summer.
- Dream Halloween costume. I really would like to see myself in look of Alice (from Wonderland, obviously) and corpse bride, though it's hard one.
- Spooky autumn or cozy autumn? I don't like spooky. I'm person who is scared of everything and that even don't want horror movies. So cozy autumn for sure.
- Fall activity you'd like to try? Picnic in forest, photoshoot with fall leaves and watching movies, cause this year I forgot movies exist. Also I tried to convince my family to have picnic in forest, but everybody was lazy, so we just did in the park. I took some photos I'll show in the next post.
- Ghoul, ghost, or monster? I would prefer a vampire or a witch, but, oh okay, a ghost.
- Favorite animated spooky film? The nightmare before Christmas, Corpse bride, Casper, ParaNorman, Momsters. Inc, Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie is a recent one.
- Gore, supernatural, or thriller? Oh no. The most scariest things I watch are these cartoons above.
-something you're excited to wear this fall? - Song that reminds you of autumn? Every song of Marilyn Menson.
- Would you prefer your arms or legs to be chilly? Hm, better legs.
- Favorite thing to do in a graveyard? I was there the last time a few years ago. 2 or 3. Actually, it's a good place to think. Also in Ukraine on Easter holidays we eat there. So can my answer to be to eat chocolate eggs? I feel awkward.
- Ever been on a supernatural tour? Yes, in my sister's previous flat.
- Favorite autumn leaf? The main one. Maple. Especially when they are bright pink. By the way, yesterday I found yellow slightly pink leaves, I was very excited because of that, so I took picture, I'll show you later haha.
- What is your favorite fall food? Pies, corn, chocolate, cause it doesn't melt anymore, hot chocolate and cappuccino as drinks. Pizza and sushi rolls for any season is my one love.
-Favorite fall makeup look? Dark or red lips and smokey eyes (black and silver, brown and cream, orange or green one as well).
- The sound of falling rain or a crackling fireplace? Rain. Especially, at night.

INSTAGRAM BLOGGING RANT

Hello guys! Do you know why I'm writing when it's not midnight yet and not even evening? I just checked Explore page out on Instagram and was inspired to write about this theme. It became way too much popular not to talk about. I'm not sure if it's as popular in your country as in mine though. Let me know! If it going worldwide or only Ukraine became crazy with insta-blogging. I remember when I was 14 I created blog with weird address and name and I was so excited about this and was telling about my blog to basically everyone. Everything what I heard back in old 2011 year was: "what is a blog?'', now everyone is a blogger with little Instagram blog... well, no, probably big one.

So should me trade blog on Instagram pages? It's faster, easier and get more feedback, although I can't be sure about the last one, cause there are too much of these blogs, so to get noticed pretty impossible.

A few years ago the point of Instagram was to make jealous your followers with your new Iphone, car, brand clothes and you vacation abroad, now recent two years everybody tries make everyone jealous with you knowledge. It seems like everyone who decided to write long caption on Instagram also decided he knows everything and only his opinion is right, also they sure that anybody else doesn't know how to google. Googling advises for your own blog isn't cool. On your blog you should share very your own experience, not what have you heard, but never tried. Either way it seems stupid. And for some reasons as a blogger that blogs many years I feel when it happens. When somebody writes about something what he doesn't know. They write too shortly, these posts loose their charms, readers want to skip most of sentences and have no inspiration to use these tips. Also it's obvious that one person can't know everything. We all have something on what we're good and that thing should be something to focus on when you run the blog. Should I mention not everyone was born to write as well?

Do you know the most annoying part for me? Copying. It seems like everybody are afraid to be yourself and try to copy somebody who is popular, so that person can become that popular too. But have not they heard that a copy never that good as an original. I think people who wants attention to their person should show how they are different, so their followers will remember them, love their difference and not think of it as another same blog. It's really sad that so many bloggers copy some certain words, posts, style, photography ideas. That makes no sense! I don't see creativity and art that should be in it! I should say one thing if it will continue to be like that, readers will get boring of it and nobody would care of it.

So I definitely don't recommend to quit blogging for Instagram blogging. I'm pretty sure it will stop being that popular very soon.

I think that blogs should keep being for blogging and INSTAgram should keep being for INSTAnt posts. Personally I prefer to quickly to check my Instagram feed, not to read hours all these long as hell captions under the photo. If I want to read, I go to blogs.

RAINY AUTUMN DAY TAG

Heeeelloooo guys. <3 

I haven't done any TAGs for really long time, but fall inspires me to take me more photos (can't wait for real autumn nature) and write more as well. So I thought why not to do this TAG? I was doing something similar before, but it was deep in the past and never answered these questions. I think they are interesting and have a real autumn vibes. So I hope it will help you to be more inspired by this beautiful season.

By the way, I tag all bloggers who have read this post. ^_^

1. Favorite autumnal quote. That's very interesting how even little things in life happen for reason, because if you would asked me this question yesterday, I would have been confused and probably said I don't know any. But today in the morning on one Instagram page I found one beautiful, but still simple quote: ''Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall''. Also it's super autumnal? When read it, I hear this crisp and feel light a little cold fall wind. This quote is so true, at least, for people as me.
2. Favorite thing to do on rainy day (like today in my town). One thing is not enough for me, so I'll tell a few ideas for rainy day activities: to go on a walk (if not to forget an umbrella and good mood), to sit in a cafe with big windows and to watch at raining (it's so calming and just beautiful), to make this cafe at home, sometimes to sleep (I love to hear rain drops, it makes me feel super relaxed), to binge-watch my favorite TV series and rain inspires me to do anything related to art, it can be even a little one like blogging.
3. Favorite scarf. Such a random question haha, that's why I like this TAG. This one I wear the most like 2 or maybe even 3 years. It has my favorite rock chic vibes. Found it  in a thrift store for a dollar.
   
4. Favorite autumn TV series. For fall I probably will choose ''Sabrina The Teenage Witch''. I watched all episodes at least twice and was a fan as a kid, but my love expended after I binge-watched and saw all story line. I would love to watch again this fall.
5. Favorite fall movie. Probably ''Autumn in New York'' (2000). Beautiful and sad. Worth to watch, if you still didn't.
6. Favourite autumn book. I can't really remember a book where autumn was very important for story, except, I remember very sad story ''The last leaf'' from school yet. I have read first book of Harry Potter recently and it's super autumnal.
7. If you could have a familiar, what would it be? Definitely a bat. I was called ''a bat'' in childhood... I mean ''a batty'' haha. Cause I always loved to walk at night.
8. One place you wish you could visit in autumn. Beautiful Ukrainian city L'viv. I was 5 years ago (feels like only 2) in autumn there too, this city has very strong autumn vibes.These are the pictures I took there (sorry for poor quality, but camera lens was dying):
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Also I want just to forest to pick up some mushrooms. Mushrooms are my whole life love.
9. Have you already purchased autumnal home decorations? For the first time in my life, YES, I HAVE! I still wait for some yet, but you will see. Now I already have bat blues lights and ''The Nightmare before Christmas'' sticker for window.
10. Favorite photo you too the last autumn. I rarely was taking photos the last year, so I have only like two photos that fall. So first one in this collage is one of them. Other ones are from other years.

Guys, in this TAG more questions,but I'll answer them in my next TAG post, cause it's almost 3 a.m. Okay? Ba-bye !:D
