IN A PANIC .... 2 WEEKS LEFT// Lifestyle


OHHHHH CHRISTMAS TREE


I have always been pretty good at getting thing up and done before the holidays. But since moving here,, the one thing I noticed few people set up their decorations or trees to early.  I am the sort as soon as December arrives or snows the TREE IS UP. I love to sit and admire the lights ,  have some hot chocolate and listen to christmas music.   I figure why wait? Why go to all the work and setting up only the day before the 24th......  grrr.  I really want to enjoy the holidays, and not have to rush to set up and then  pull it down after such a short time. 

Besides the tree  there are always a few special treats to make. Some traditional ones  like almond cookies and a special delicious donut .   This year i have done neither, baked or set up the tree.









Well really there is a good reason,  a few months ago I  damaged my knee badly, standing walking is impossible and still have to wait another month to recover. So walking around on crutches and wearing a brace is  not so great.  


So I am beginning to feel the crunch, or panic.  Its not CHRISTMAS without lights , trees and cookies!!!


Well this weekend, things will be on a roll.  Time is ticking......

How goes your holiday plans? Have you made any special treats and set your tree up?

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
