WHATS NEW?// lifestyle, fashion

NEW THINGS for a NEW YEAR

Well the first week of 2020 is complete and there are many things to do or try. 
I am not one to make a list of NEW YEARS resolutions in general - 
more  a mental note to myself of what needs to be
done or hopefully done.  
But it is not always so simple to stick to new resolutions , as a study shows
most people start well in the beginning and then the novelty wears off. 
 Be it  going to the gym or changing our diets things we all want to do , 
but perhaps don't enjoy it.
 I think if you make a resolution it should be something you are interested in 
or makes you feel happier or healthier.



BECOMING VEGAN


On that note, January is VEGANUARY month,  vegan diets are becoming more popular and  a more healthy lifestyle , I  could almost be a vegan, as I love fresh vegetables and fruits and not much meat, but I am not so keen on tofu burgers, sorry.   Also health wise there are some drawbacks to vegan diets, according to a health study vegan diets lack the B12 vitamin
 - but still there are benefits also. 

**Adults need around 1.5 micrograms of B12 a day. 
It is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, but not in fruits, vegetables or grains - so those eating a vegan diet are advised to eat fortified foods, like cereals, or take supplements.
B12 deficiency, which can lead to nerve damage, tends to take three or four years to cause symptoms - usually first appearing as pins and needles in the hands or feet."

ADORABLE KNITS from NEW ZEALAND
If you read the news, or follow Englands royals,  the latest is that adorable picture of little Archie wearing a cute knitted hat. These hats are made by a group of knitters in New Zealand, women that knit hats to donate to those in need, they also sell them. 

NZ KNITTERS via bbc
Since that photo appeared they have been swamped with orders for the knit hat.  So really that is a good charity to support.  Cheers to the women in NZ!
A nice new hobby to try, knitting anyone? Do you knit?

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.  ...
