Happy International Woman’s Day dear ladies!

I was raised in a country where Woman’s day was very big and special occasion…I miss that now living in the country where they don’t celebrate pretty much anything, any occasion is just an excuse to drink without respect for the meaning of the occasion…

For me though, this wonderful day is still big deal and I want to congratulate all the women of the world with this happy occasion and wish them this day to be as special as it can only be! Get wine, get cake, get flowers, watch movies in candle light…treat yourself with a gift today=) Be strong, fabulous and happy all of you, no matter what life would bring!=)

I  mashed up some things that are all about women and I hope you’ll enjoy it=)

Will start from small history of Women’s Day….

The first national Women’s Day was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. In August 1910, an International Women’s Conference was organized to precede the general meeting of the Socialist Second International in Copenhagen. Inspired in part by the American socialists, German Socialist Luise Zietz proposed the establishment of an annual ‘International Woman’s Day’ (singular) and was seconded by Clara Zetkin, although no date was specified at that conference.

International Working Women’s Day now is marked on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements. 

But in many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother’s Day and St. Valentine’s Day.
