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!

WESTWOOD life// Fashion, mode, punk looks

CELEBRATE PUNK DESIGNER JUST THIS month it was Vivienne Westwood's 80th birthday. The fashion designer who brought PUNK fashions to the forefront.

Known for her flaming orange reddish hair , bold clothes - she is a woman of her times, the punk era of UK. A look at some of designs and her style. tamer looks images, vogue , runway magazine,

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. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

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
