MY DOWN-TO-EARTH INSPIRATIONS

With all the various social media platforms out there, we often come across Internet celebrities, popular Instagrammers, Youtube sensations, Hollywood celebrities, models, etc., etc. The sad thing is: they are often pretty damn conceited and self-absorbed.

However, there are some out there that are down-to-earth and quite humble. Those are the ones I love! They are a rare kind and deserve to be thanked every once in a while.

Here is my list of 12 down-to-earth inspirational Internet or Hollywood celebrities/models:

1. Cara Delevingne
Beauty, brains, silliness and fun all in one. What's not to love about this gorg model? Her Instagram is raw and real, filled with goofy pics with her fellow model friends and her pigging out on massive plates of food.

2. Karissa Pukas of the Youtube channel Satnightalrite
She broadcasts her life to others without ever talking herself up or bragging about herself; She encourages hers fans to bring others up and not down; Plus she has realistic and relatable views on life. Love her! 

3. Michelle Obama
Even if you aren't a fan of her husband, President Obama, I think it's universally known that the first lady has a spectacular sense of style, advocates a healthy lifestyle and even though she is one of the world's most empowering and important women, she does not flaunt it like many others would. Michelle Obama for America's president 2016?

4. Julianne Hough
She's beautiful, dated Ryan Seacrest, who is down-to-earth himself and loves family time aside from being a celebrity. I follow her on Instagram and she uploads make-up-free and silly face photos all the time, showing her fans she's just your average joe. 

5. Diego Boneta
Are you a Pretty Little Liars fan? You probably remember him as Alex from the first few seasons, where he grabbed our hearts as the adorable employee at the golf club. He mysteriously disappeared from the show but turned up again in the movie Rock of Ages (with Julianne Hough) and captured our hearts again. His Instagram is filled with pictures of him hanging out with his younger siblings and making visits to hospitals and the less forunate. How cute!

6. Chelsea Handler
Everyone's favorite funny girl, she has a gut-wrenching book, she's been in several movies and has her own talk show. We love her sarcasm and quirky jokes which make her fearless when it comes to what she says. It's hard to come by that in Hollywood, since everyone is so worried about their reputation and image. However, she just doesn't seem to give a f**k. Love it. 

7. Hugh Jackman
The pictures says it all. This native Australian loves his family and doesn't let his super good looks and amazing acting skills go to his head. He brings his wife to the red carpet and is always all smiles and laughs. Where are all the Hugh Jackman-like men in the world?

8. Amanda Seyfried
The world was introduced to this actress when Mean Girls came out back in, what was it, 2004? Anyways, she played the stereotypical airhead which made us doubt her, or maybe it showed us just how good of an actress she is. Since then, she has appeared in several other great movies and her humbleness during interviews made all of us love her even more. 

9. Aimee Song of the blog Song of Style
I love fashion and street style, so if you love fashion and street style too, then you have probably come across the blog, Song of Style. I have watched some of her Youtube videos and she just gives off this incredibly down-to-earth vibe even though her closet is the size of a studio apartment and her clothes, shoes, accessories cost just around the average person's monthly paycheck. How can you not love a person like that?

10. Rebel Wilson (Fat Amy)
If you have seen Pitch Perfect then you know just how great Fat Amy is. It's also probably when you fell in love with the outrageousness and hilarious persona she gives off; even though it was just a movie, her character in the movie is quite similar to her real-life personality. On her Twitter she reels in followers by being her hilarious self and posting funny pics with all of Hollywood's A-list celebrities. 

11. Jonah Hill
He's hilarious regardless of his body size. He recently went from being a heavier dude to a skinny-minny but that hasn't upped his ego one bit. He still remains the goofy and hilarious guy we all love to see in the new comedy movies. 

12. Morgan Freeman
Probably one of Hollywood's best actors and has proved that in every single movie he has played in. His fans love him for his humbleness and friendliness. I love him because of that and well, he's just a bad ass. 

Now, if everybody could be like these 12 people, the world would be a better place...don't you think? Of course there are SO many more down-to-earth celebrities/models/etc., that I did not list but these are just a few of my favorites. Who are your favorite down-to-earth inspirations?

Got love all the down-to-earth-ers out there!

INTERIOR DESIGN

Lately I have been obsessing over interior design and I find myself glued to the screen whenever browsing through the Pinterest 'Home Design' section.
So, this is a fun, non-travel related post! Enjoy and have a lovely morning browsing (at school when you are bored or at work when you are drinking your first cup of coffee).

 














I love doing these types of posts, so I think I will make this a weekly thing- plus it's a nice break from all the travel posts. Also, I want to do a little 'What I am loving this week' at the end of a post sometime in the week. Starting this week sometime I will begin to do that.

Have a fabulous Tuesday and travel on wanderlusters!

P.S. It's the last day of April (on my side of the world)--where does time go!? I have two weekends of work left, three weeks of classes + exams left, I am moving into the new flat in the next few weeks, in 21 days my best friend comes to Prague and then we are off for our mini Euro-trip!!

MAGAZINE NEWS!

Listen of the night/day: Just One Last Time by David Guetta ft. Taped Rai...you know I actually had the opportunity to possibly see David Guetta in concert when I was in Rome a month ago. I should have gone, I would love to experience another concert like Swedish House Mafia.

So, my internship emailed me some pretty exciting news tonight that made me get all excited and squeal-y in class tonight. My internship is teaming up with Vanity Fair, you know that super famous women's magazine, and for their 100 Best Dressed issue, they are letting us submit our own street style photos to be considered for the magazine! I will most definitely be taking part in that because I mean how cool would it be to be featured in VANITY FAIR?!


Off to sleep and dream about a nice, warm vacation. Travel on!

P.S. since today was somewhat of an inspiration Tuesday...I should share one of my favorite posts from one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Chiara Ferragni. It's an awesome post that I read over and over again whenever I'm in need of some inspiration. Here it is: http://www.theblondesalad.com/2012/05/show-your-potential.html

Feeling a Little Arts-and-Crafts-y

Hi Wanderlusters!

I'm going to post the New York City/Long Island post tomorrow morning when sipping on a warm cappuccino. So get ready! But today, a lazy and dreary Sunday afternoon, I am feeling kind of creative/arts and crafts-y, so I decided I'm going to make several inspiration boards when I get back home to Prague in a few days (eeep!). These are going to be boards on just general things I like, on travel destinations/places I've been, foods I like or would like to try, fashion, quotes; just anything and everything basically.

I went quote searching on Pinterest for about an hour the other day and found some really cool ones that will go on my quote board. Here are a few I liked and want to share with you guys.

























Do you, wanderlusters, ever go on Pinterest for inspirations or arts and crafts projects? I'm feeling a little inspired in 2013.

Travel on wanderlusters! And be ready for tomorrow's New York City post.

P.S. 4 more days until I'm Europe-bound again!
