SMALL THINGS in LIFE

I am not sure if it is cooler weather or me getting older (can't be) but whatever it is

when fall comes around its feels like it is time to bring out the candles, grab the cozy blankets ,

bake apple pies and watch movies. All of these things I love. Movies especially.

I love to follow the film festivals and see what is new .

Small Things

Last weekend was one of those , (after the museum visits). Foreign films have always interested me.(though it was not so easy to find them ) This year at the Cannes film festival the films screened included those directed by Tarantino(once upon a time in hollywood), Pedro Almodovar , Boon Joon-hu and many others. So I am curious to check them out when in theatres.

Meanwhile I found one film by Almodovar that sounded interesting and is based on the Canadian author Alice Munro. The film is called Julieta- a film that takes you on the journey of the life of a young woman, wife and mother and reflecting back to earlier years. It is a romantic drama that makes one feel for her pain, love and longing ... a very touching movie. The director made a wonderful film from Munros book. I actually like Almodovar films , he is like the spanish version of Woody allen films. Perhaps with more emotion and feelings, and depth of the characters. I can say its a good film to watch. I have seen a few of his other films - All about My mother; Volver , so Julieta is another one I can recommend.

The other one I found really interesting was a German film called Run Lola Run. Its not new but seems like it could be. The plot is about a girl and her boyfriend and how things can happen in the

most unexpected ways. It is a very unusual film that shows parts with animation , but in a funny way.

Lola is out to save her boyfriend from disaster and the outcome. A very cute artsy film.

Both might be in english or subtitled. So if you are keen to

see some foreign films they might interest you.

These films are not your die hard or star wars type with all the flash and action ,

but more films of human beings daily life and relationships.

So I hope you enjoy!

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.

COFFEE or TEA?// Lifestyle

The MORNINGS DELIGHT What is the first thing you have in the morning a cup of tea or coffee? Tea or coffee , both are popular and the drink of choice for many people. I only lately started to drink coffee with flavoured creamer, French Vanilla or Hazelnut flavour. Tea, I will drink more when I am not feeling well with lemon. Recently I was reading an article about tea and how some brands have plastic in the teabags. Who knew or would think there be plastic in TEABAGS. There is one brand that mentions on the packaging it contains no PLASTIC. A test was done to see which teabags contains plastic, surprising most did. You can read more about it here via BBC TEA or a video TEABAGS COFFEE , good for you? Coffee, the smell of a pot of cooking in the morning is devine. I like to have a cup with my favourite flavour. Its really a nice treat, something to savour and sip slowly in the mornings. It also is a kickstarter for the day from the caffeine. Ther...
