Ariadna Majewska is a 26-year-old self-made Polish blogger and photographer. She lives in Poznan, Poland.  Every day – through words and pictures – Ariadna nurtures her passions, discovers herself, her femininity (more on that later!), and builds long-lasting, meaningful connections.

Here are 29 things that you didn’t know about Ariadna Majewska:

1. I collect quotes with passion. I have my own place on the web with a large collection, which only a few closest people know about. When reading books and interesting texts, I often write fragments that have made the most impression on me so that I can come back to them from time to time. I am happy to think about life.
2. As a child, I dreamed of being a poet and writer. Being in primary school, I passionately created stories, poems and even books – most of them I still have. In junior high school and high school, I was involved in writing essays and columns, and by the way, I anonymously ran a popular blog where I published my own texts. I still like to play with my language, and pouring my thoughts into paper makes me very happy. I am currently completing my master’s thesis. In the future, I plan to create a novel, a collection of stories and/or poems.
3. For many years I also wanted to become an IT specialist. I wrote the first website in the fifth grade, for years I willingly created tutorials, which I shared on the web.Due to the interest in this field, a few years ago I graduated from a two-year computer science at a post-secondary school.
4. For about a decade I have not partaken with the camera, with which I immortalize my view of the world. My portfolio (you can see them < here >) is diverse and extensive – no subject of photos is strange to me. In addition to purely artistic photography, I also make commercial photographs, e.g. wedding.
5. I have never tried a cigarette. Until recently, I hardly ever touched alcohol (now I do it sporadically).
6. About 90% of the food I eat is of plant origin. For several years I have been trying to make my meals as healthy as possible: natural, low processed and made with good quality ingredients. I like to cook and create new dishes, I have a lot of knowledge about healthy eating.
7. Previously, I was living a very unhealthy diet — I deliberately put tons of sweets, chips and junk food into myself every day. Surprisingly, I was much slimmer then than now.
8. For several years, every day I start with a large portion of mixed fruit or freshly squeezed juices. The dose of vitamins from the morning is a great boost of energy.
9. Although you can not see it after me, I do not know anyone who eats as much food as me. Many people can not believe it until they come to dinner with me…
10. I love to laugh and approach life with considerable distance. I often joke, and making others laugh makes me happy 🙂
11. Despite so many years on the back of the neck (born in ’92), I still have a lot of children – this applies to both personality and appearance.
12. I do not paint at all on a daily basis. However, when I decide to makeup, it takes me no more than five minutes to make it and requires only a few cosmetics.
13. My favorite blogger is Anna Vershinina from Acid-coke.com, who for years has been intriguing me with her subtle beauty and rich personality, while the blog I read the most is Volantification.pl.
14. I have a lot of empathy for me. Instead of evaluating or attacking, I try to understand, so I value it when someone opens up to me and has the courage, to be honest. The agreement and the ability to conduct a conversation are the keys to creating valuable relationships.
15. I am fascinated by psychology and social sciences, and especially the possibilities of having knowledge covering these fields. I constantly watch people and analyze their behaviors, on the basis of which I try to figure out what is in their head. I am excited about interpersonal relationships and how the Internet affects them.
16. I enjoy the beauty of nature, I willingly immortalize them in the pictures. Being in the bosom of wild nature has a soothing and cleansing effect on me. Like Desmond Morris, I think that big cities are not a natural environment of people, and life in them favors the occurrence of anomalies (although at the same time it is very attractive).
17. I prefer to create than to consume, give than to take, be than to have. The feeling that deprived of all things I will still represent myself with something, that becoming “naked” to someone, I will be just as valuable and interesting person is very important to me.
18. I love dreaming. My dreams are very exciting, realistic and multithreaded.
19. I do not use TV at all. I rarely watch movies – only a few impress me and can make me concentrate to see them to the end.
20. I often provoke and evoke emotions, and being in the spotlight can give me a lot of satisfaction. I hate boredom, that’s why I constantly provide myself with new impressions on many levels. Interestingly, earlier for many years, I was a very shy, calm person, keeping on the sidelines.
21. I have a strong character, but deep down I am very sensitive and I am easily touched with trifles.
22. My head is full of ideas and I regret that I am able to implement only some of them. If I’m serious about taking something, I’m giving my best. I like to challenge myself.
23. I strive to be the most optimistic person possible, I try to spread a positive aura around me. I am happy to motivate and support others, I do not accumulate negative feelings and memories.
24. I love the atmosphere of old times. Sometimes I have the impression that I do not fit into modern times.
25. If I were to indicate the most handsome actors, Brando, Gable, Deląg and Żebrowski would be among them. The most beautiful actresses? Hepburn, Leigh, de Havilland, Belluci, Jolie, Dymna.
26. Listening to classical music evokes many emotions in me, I am eager to reach for beautiful literature and poetry, and I am also looking for inspiration in art. I appreciate the works of outstanding individuals.
27. If you thought I was going to shopping centres all day long, I must disappoint you. I do not like spending time in this way. I receive most of my clothes as part of a collaboration, and almost all of them I order online. I have so many of them, that now I am much more pleased with the purchase of a valuable book or meeting an interesting person than buying more shoes or blouses.
28. I am grateful for all of the experiences that have taken place in my life — I know that they made me such and not a different person.
29. I like when you write to me – both comments, e-mails, and other types of messages. Thanks to this, I know that on the other side of the screen are people from flesh and blood, who usually turn out to be extremely interesting. The opportunity to meet a wide variety of people from around the world is one of the greatest things that I’ve gained thanks to running a blog.
