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.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
