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.

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?

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
