Oh lovely days// lifestyle, earth day, staying home,

HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYONE!

April 22nd is a day to celebrate... though we might not think about it these days.
But really after reading or seeing photos of cities that suffered from severe pollution,
cities with polluted waters and other things. There is something to celebrate, the air is cleaner. the water is clearer and nature has appeared on city streets, certainly unusual but it maybe a good thing
to see how we humans have made a big impact on the earth, via polluted the air and water.

So even if we are not happy about being in lockdown there has been a benefit in a many other ways.

Today we can perhaps do some small things around our places , clean up the yard, plant some flowers or a tree, set up a birdhouse, add a bird bath, even on a balcony it can be a space to enjoy.
Planting flowers that attract the birds, bees and butterflies is ideal.

I especially love to sit outside and get the new plants in the pots, hang up wind chimes.
One feature I do love are water features, the one pictured is simple and looks like easy to maintain.

A natural water feature with rocks , rise and grasses .

nature in the garden

Over here some gardens will have small gnomes throughout , hidden in the flowers
or set up along paths.

Well today I guess I will take a trip to the store and find some plants to add to my

garden and get my garden gloves and enjoy the sunshine.

Hope you will be able to do the same where you are.

Get a chair sit by the window or out on your balconies

Have a great day everyone!

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

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

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.
