ENJOYING THE WEEKEND//Lifestyle

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Hopefully those that were getting into the shopping mania of Black Friday survived.  It can be a stressful time for some that are looking for a certain item or trying to get the best deal . Who doesn't like a great deal, right? So after all the hype and shopping time to relax and put the feet up.
Thought I would share some interesting stories from around the world. you might like to read.



I was reading a fun article about Japan and photo booths. 

Do you remember those? Most shopping malls had them. Step into the booth , deposit your money and wait for the flash then get a strip of photos. I can remember the times a friend and I tried it. 
Now a days photo booths have become techno,  photos can be almost photoshopped. Change  your eye shape , color,  make lips bigger or smaller - you get the picture. You can read more about it here.



PET LOVERS this a heartwarming article hero dogs. I love dogs or pets  and reading about these dogs that are rescuing lives is extra moving.  I can relate to the story because we had a beautiful German Shepard dog that was part of  the family for years. He was extremely clever,  as a matter of fact he did save a mans life. The young man had taken the dog with him on a camp trip. One day he decided to take a swim and dived off a dock into the water.  Our dog was up at the family cabin , then suddenly he raced down the hill to the water, swam in and grabbed on to the young mans arm. Whether he pulled him onto shore , this i don't know -  but his family ran down to see  and realized something was wrong. The young guy was pulled from the water unable to move. In hospital it was discovered he had broken his neck. So knowing that our pet saved a mans  life  is heartwarming.

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. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

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
