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!

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months. One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face when it’s windy outside. It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days . A pop of color is nice to see during the winter season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice. The Accessories . I love to add a few accessories also. Bracelets add a little interest to the look . The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good , as well as the multi twist bracelet. Ps The photo does not show the true color . It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull . After a few retakes no change. Camera issues.

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!...
