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!!

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!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
