FEBRUARY BORING? NOT!!/ lifestyle

FEBRUARY DULL , NEVER.

February sometimes is a bit of dull month, with rain or snow and not much happening.
But for some fun there is FASCHING . What is that?, you ask.

Well it is Carnival time in some places. Something similar to carnival in Italy is held in Germany and Austria also. It is a chance to dress up in costumes and masks. Maybe a Masquerade party is more like it. People dress up in all sorts of costumes and revel the night . There are parties, performers, comedy acts and so on. Parades even are held at the famous Prater Amusement park.

From parades to food, the one treat that is popular this time of year is called Krapfen- a bit like a filled doughnut with a vanilla, fruit or a chocolate cream filling. A big favourite.

Well it is always a fun to beat the winter doldrums and just have a
fun time, whether you want to dress up or not.

HAPPY FASSCHING !

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
