ENJOYING the WEEKEND// lifestyle, event

THE PLACE for MUSIC

When one thinks of Austria, we probably think of the Alps, Waltzes, music composers such as Mozart, Beethoven  and  actors like Arnie or Christopher Waltz.   Yes , Austria is well known for many things, famous composers were really the stars of that time.   Music is always  something
people enjoy and listen to.

Well that last week was a week to enjoy music-  the Eurovision Song contest. I am in love with this event. I was really lucky to see it live here when Austria won. I can tell you it is AMAZING!
So many talented musical people, and hearing them perform is worth seeing.  This year the event was
held in Tel Aviv  - such a beautiful city. That is one reason i like to watch the contest, it takes you on
a tour of the places.


Last night was the final and it was not easy to pick a winner, but Netherlands song was the winner.
A ballad sung by Duncan Laurence. Well really there were so many great songs, I had my favourites.
Some were interesting or extreme, like Icelands a metal rock...  or Australia's . Even Madonna made an appearance. The highlight for me were a group of singers that are disabled, but they were really  amazing . They were winners for me!



You can see more on  youtube,  Eurosong contest 2019.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues.
