AN ORGANIZED LIFE// Lifestyle, Decor ,at home, organize

ORGANIZED or NOT

Something I have always liked is being organized, keeping things in place and knowing where to look for things,  it was something I did even as a kid- ( doll clothes in a case, mini chests) .
So now that I am living here with my dearest I have really had to adjust to his habits (totally opposite)  I am not a neat freak but i like to have things put away  or back where they belong.
(ie scissors, tools etc)

When I read a article of how organized German people are and how they learn that from a young age.
The funny thing the article was written by an American living in Germany.  She wrote about daily life
and the things one can do and not do. This made me laugh, because I can relate.

For starters when you take the train or metro people don't talk, sit there with headphones or iPads reading. So people are very quiet.  The article mention how another passenger let her know talking was not allowed  ruhezug  quiet compartment train,   .  This comes from a saying in german, Ordnung muss sein.

Somethings that are part of life here,  everything is recycled and sorted. Glass separated clear or coloured, metals, cartons, etc.  Parking plaques for your street, quiet time by 10 . There is even a what I call a bylaw police.   Though that is much like in America in bigger cities. So not really a surprise.
I say mostly it common sense.  Though it is important here to always greet people in elevators, store clerks etc.

Yes things are orderly , on time and efficient which is a good thing.

Now to get the guy onboard with the ORDNUNG muss sein.

Here a few items that can help to keep your place organized - for your home, bathroom and bedroom.
The floral print containers I have and love them , as they fold down flat, when not in use. They are great for holding scarfs, gloves, or anything else. And they look nice also.

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!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs  Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes!  I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses.  Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ??  Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number .  Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop .  Other than the price.style or quality.  Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important .  The style look and what suits you are all things to consider .  The UV protection is what really matters  also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why?  If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to  consider .  Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
