HOLIDAY MADNESS or GLADNESS//lifestyle

HOLIDAYS... for some are not so great.

So what makes this time of the season so special ? For some it is being with their family, the traditions, the food and the music. Or just the feeling one gets.
But for some it is not something they look forward to... perhaps no family or loss of family member or their job.There are things that can set a person back.

So why do i mention this,,, well looking at all the blogs with all those gift ideas and places, made me think its not always so wonderful for some people. They dread the holidays , shopping in packed malls for gifts or the rushing around and the crowds.

REFLECTIONS

I think about my parents and what they did for christmas, it was different then, no large shopping malls or online shopping, but it still seemed like their holidays were wonderful. A big family gathering with few gifts , homemade or candy treats bought at the store or the skating outing. Simple but still so special. I think about that much more now that I am older and think ,, What is all the stress about?

Its more important to do or share the time doing something you like even if it is a small thing or
do something special for someone else.

Mostly I look forward to the holidays for the music, decorations and simply being with family or friends. (though family is far) I can still find joy in the season and enjoy the time. Doing things, skating , seeing the beautiful sights in the city or making a small gift for someone, visiting a sick friend or making treats.

There is always something wonderful to do at this time of year and to remember those that are not so fortunate as we are.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the holiday seasons. Thanks to those that take time to read my blog -and follow along.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes! I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses. Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ?? Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number . Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop . Other than the price.style or quality. Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important . The style look and what suits you are all things to consider . The UV protection is what really matters also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why? If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to consider . Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
