What a week this has been! We went shopping, have prepped for work, have read and discovered new books, purchased kitchen appliances, prepared delicious soups and smoothies, stashed our bathroom with fragranced treats and even went to the movies. And all that without cash! At least, without bills and coins but with a modern twist - I'm talking about contactless payments. I'm thrilled as I couldn't have even guessed how much I'll become "hooked" on my new Mastercard but it really is amazing.

Well, this will come as no shock to anyone will it? If you've ever had a sneek peek of my Insta stories you'll know I'm a big movie lover. I've watched dozens upon dozens movies and if I can help it, every night will be a movie night! From old classics, to thrillers, dramas, horrors and action movies - I love them all. What is a bit of a change is the fact my movie night has moved from the couch to an actual cinema, for a change. A lot of films look different on a big screen than on a small screen. That's why it feels extra special to move away from the couch, actually get dressed, get out and analyze the movie and get the different opinions shared after watching.

Books and I have a reignited love affair and I've been trying to catch up with all the reads I've missed so far. I want to write about two that have definitely stood out and one I wanted as a gift. Online book shopping is a new thing to me - if someone told me I would be shopping for books via internet, I'd never believe them! Blogging has been like a doorway to many new experiences and this one with Mastercard contactless payments certainly is one of the most unique ones yet!

Remember my birthday cheesecake recipe and how my husband and I made the almond-date crust without a blender? Buying cheap blenders has taught me a valuable lesson so, since I have no further desire to chop up almonds with a knife - I've decided to invest in a Nutribullet, courtesy of my new Mastercard. To properly get the most out of our purchase, we've already make a few soups and smoothies while we also plan on using it to make yogurt and ice cream. Here are two recipes that kinda stood out and are on repeat.

Since I've decided to change my lifestyle from classic sedentary and absolutely carb-licious to regularly working out and eating better than before, one of the most frequent questions I get is how to meal prep for work. Of course that it isn't easy and sometimes I forget to meal prep the night before but for most days, a simple pop to the local supermarket will do the trick. You'll see that balanced diet doesn't have to be dull or expensive. I used my Mastercard card precisely at a Bingo supermarket because throughout this month, every transaction you make with a Mastercard card, gives you a chance to go to the Sarajevo Film Festival red carpet as a VIP guest, which is, you’ll admit, a priceless experience!

What happens when you give a brand new, shiny Mastercad to a beauty afficionado? She goes shopping, of course! This shopping was a nostalgic one since Lush reminds me of my first days of blogging which I've spent testing their fragrant soaps and creams. What I really like about this Mastercard card (besides the fact I felt free, wasn't wasting time searching my bag for change etc.) is that contactless payments don't exclude the traditional use of credit cards. After picking up my Lush favorites, I swiped it through the POS terminal and entered my PIN.

Just when I thought this summer is going to be uneventful, pass in a rut of shift work and without anything remotely interesting to write about - an exciting opportunity has popped up which allows me to try something completely new and also be useful reporting my findings and experience. Just in time for summer holidays (and day to day use really) I was given a chance, thanks to Mastercard, to do my seasonal shopping and to test the new Mastercard contactless technology which makes every purchase a simple and safe experience. I will be using Mastercard contactless prepaid card which can also be used for online payments, but you can find Mastercard contactless debit and credit cards in different banks, so you can choose the one which is a best fit for you.
