ENJOYING THE WEEKEND// Lifestyle

A VERY SPORTY CITY

It is one thing i noticed since moving here, there are so many sporty things to do in the city.

From yoga in the parks, table tennis or tennis, cycling or running. There are plenty of things to enjoy or try out. Yoga to me is one .

Marathons are also major event in the city and this weekend was amazing weather for the annual marathon. The crowds of runners and people out to see the runners is also a good thing.
Streets are blocked off for the runners and there is a course set for a mini run, a kids run and more.
A great way to let anyone participate . Also what is very important for runners or joggers is to drink plenty of water, especially on hot days. But did you know it can also be dangerous to drink to much water. Who knows that, not me? I read an article about the need to drink water, but also there can be a risk.

How much water do you need to drink in a day?
I know it is about 8 glasses , but that includes all fluids not only water. Coffee tea juices sodas all count. The thing to know about having to much water is it dilutes sodium in the blood and this is dangerous. Over- hydration as it is called.
A London 2018 marathoner had encountered that problem, at first it was thought she was dehydrated , when in fact she was not.
The way to avoid the problem is to have electrolyte tablets that replace the sodium in the blood
So for anyone who runs it is good to know.

Even for anyone doing physical work on a hot day it is important to drink .

Here is the article you can read how much water you need.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
