MAY oh MY.....

It seems like the month of april went by so quickly and now its the first of May.
A national holiday here and in other parts of world it is celebrated.

April was superb , the weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm. And with the easter holiday,

birthdays to celebrate and visitors it seemed to fly by - not to forget the GoT series couldn't miss that! I do enjoy the season and spring ,but it seems to always come and go to fast for my liking.

Well after all the celebrations I was feeling so tired. Plus I took some time off to prepare.

(renovation or assembling new bookcases) Now the place is what i would say a bit of a mess.

The bedroom has some clothes piled on the bed (sweaters from winter) , books piled up,

advertising flyers on kitchen counter, etc.... sorry sight to see. But I really am so tired

I felt like I ran a marathon. Whether it was the excitement , stress or the spring changes,

One thing I use to do when city life got to me, I would pack our suitcase,

head to the lake and RELAX.

Yes NATURE and the outdoors is a cure. The solitude, the quiet, the sounds of the birds singing and the wonderful fresh air does wonders for ones mind and body.

JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Getting outdoors, breathing the cool fresh air and just going to walks or bike rides can be

the ultimate pick me up. But even in the city there are wonderful places to explore, pathways,

parks and sitting by the water and watching the sailboats drifting by.
There are even places to rent a boat. So what more can you ask for!

HAVE A GREAT MAY - EVERYONE!!

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

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.
