CHANGES // lifestyle, @home, blogging

CHANGES....  NOT JUST THE SEASONS


 ITS FALL AND WE CAN FEEL A CHANGE IN THE AIR.  IT HAS COOLED DOWN ALOT  AND THE WEEKEND WAS RAINY ALL DAY.  IT CERTAINLY FRESHENED THE AIR OUTSIDE. NEEDLESS TO SAY DIDNT GO ANYWHERE. STUCK CLOSE TO HOME AND BASICALLY PUTZED AROUND THE PLACE.  THE  USUAL WEEKEND HOUSEHOLD THINGS WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE TOPIC ON THIS POST.


A FEW THINGS TO READ  (OR COMMENT ON)

A FEW MONTHS AGO I READ AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT HOW THE WOMEN IN INDIA WERE PROTESTING OR PETITIONING  THAT THE MEN NEED TO HELP OUT MORE AROUND THE HOUSE.  HMM  THUMBS UP TO THAT.  

THE WOMEN ARE WORKING AS WELL AS THE MEN , BUT WITH THE LOCKDOWN, THEIR HOUSEKEEPERS WERE NOT ABLE TO COME WORK.  SO THEY WERE LEFT TO DO THE WORK THEMSELVES. 


NOT MANY HOUSEHOLDS IN EUROPE OR NORTH AMERICA  WILL HAVE A HOUSEKEEPER OR EVEN AN NANNY. (PERHAPS THE RICHER  AFFLUENT ONLY)

BUT I THINK OVERALL IT IS NOT COMMON. 

THERE IS THE IDEA OF EQUALITY WHICH IN SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WOMEN WILL HAVE THE SAME PAY AS A MAN DOING THE SAME JOB, OR MEN WILL TAKE TIMEOFF FOR MATERNITY ETC,  BUT I THINK MOST WORK AT HOME IS DONE BY THE WOMEN, NOT THE MEN.



HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU OR YOUR MATE SHARE THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES?.

 FOR MYSELF IT IS NOT 50/50  MORE LIKE 75/25.

PS OUR DISHWASHER BROKE DOWN THIS WEEKEND, FILLED WITH A WEEK OF DIRTY DISHES , SO GUESS WHO HAD TO CLEAN THEM? ???

TIME FOR SOME CHANGES!!

BLOGGING CHANGES



I have been making some changes on the design on the blog, trying the different themes, but i am not so sure it makes much difference.  As the blog is more a place for me to share life culture in Europe  , as well as some fashion styles  and few other things .

So I thought after five years maybe a little change would be a good idea now.


I liked the look of the  NEW magazine format   , if you follow or read the blog

it be nice to know what you guys think.


WELL I  HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEKEND AND HAVE

A FUN WEEK  EVERYONE!


KEEP SAFE 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.  ...
