HOW TO KEEP SANE, WELL ISOLATING

Well many of us are now doing the self isolation or social distancing  , there will no doubt there will be days where after some time we get CABIN FEVER.



One of my many things I like to do especially now is meditate. There is something so calming, relaxing and energizing about letting your mind clear away the stress and aniexty , or even lack of good sleep  via meditating.

one of my favourite  youtube  sites is one called ZEN garden,  the videos are really ideal to
calm the soul, there are several to listen to. It is one of my most listened to mediation videos.
At night when having trouble to sleep it is magic, soothes one completely.  Really recommend these
for anyone who feels stressed.


MAKE IT A MOVIE NIGHT OR WEEKEND



The other way to unwind are  movies, there is nothing like a good movie to make one feel good.  Whether it is romance, action or comedy. Here are few of my favourites.

  • The Out of Towners -  couple flying to New York and the adventure they encounter,  older version with Jack Lennon   there is a newer one with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin  also. 

  • The Marigold Hotel, a new life in India for retired people.

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.  ...
