MINIMAL MATTERS

I recently read a post about minimalism, making your life minimal with less or letting go of things. Some things I can maybe say okay to, other ideas noooo way.

Some things that i thought why would anyone want to get rid of

that, i.e. a family heirloom , a piece of art or jewellery that belongs to a parent or relative- it has a special meaning or is perhaps worth something or not. Okay, perhaps a thing that is costume or plastic but still it is a sentimental item or has special meaning .

When I moved overseas, there were many things I sold big items pieces, but smaller things no way, collectibles or valuable items , photographs and books.
Somethings I donated and regretted it later (lesson learned).

MINIMAL SPACES

The look of minimal room is fine, the clean tidy everything its in place. That I do like, a room with less and a larger vocal point. I am not big on knick knacks , dust collectors.

But that being said , I do believe with the right storage or enough storage space and order to a collection is important so it does not seem overwhelming or cluttered. Just like clothes closets if hung up in some sense of order it looks great- black pieces together, slack or blouses arranged.

So no I won't be a true minimalist.

I find pleasure in reading or looking at a good book, or savouring a good glass of wine .
Its what life is all about - to imagine the world being a blank space with nothing to see would be
unimaginative. Simple things like a beautiful seashell, a piece of wood or a great piece of art is what makes the world more interesting. So whether you collect rocks, books, jewelry or shoes , its all beautiful and meaningful for you.

Today i am off to collect some items at the library book sale,

And will be happy to have something to read and enjoy this weekend.

ARE YOU INTO MINIMALISM? CAN YOU GET RID OF THINGS EASILY?

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

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
