WORLD KINDNESS WEEK

A KINDNESS CHALLENGE

This week is KINDNESS WEEK. Something that the world needs now, especially with all the negative news around. So its a nice idea to share . I only read about Kindness week and thought what a great idea.

According to studies done in the states, there is a link to kindness and living a longer life.
Now that sounds very interesting, to imagine that when we are kinder to others it not only makes them feel good but it also can help us. The study shows that any small gesture can have a profound effect on a persons mind it can lower blood pressure, relief stress .

There are so many ways to show kindness in small ways. helping someone carry their bags, giving up your seat for an elderly person or young mom, baking cookies for a sick neighbour, sending a card , or holding the door open for someone. These small things can mean a lot to someone.

I know for myself it does make you feel noticed. I often see young people on the metro sitting well an senior person is left standing. It makes me think, what a shame . Or if someone is standing in a grocery line with only few items and your cart is full, to let them go ahead of you. Simple small
acts like that doesn't cost anything and to me seems like the right thing to do.

A book titled the The Rabbit Effect by Columbia University doctor Kelli Harding , studied the effect
of kindness and the results. It helps your immune system, lowers blood pressure and helps one to live longer. Clearly all of those facts are a good thing.

So today , this week or month its a good time to share some kindness with others.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!

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. ...
