LIFE LATELY Inspiration// Lifestyle, wellness, DIY

 LIVE , LOVE & LAUGH 

Well I hope everyone is handling these chaotic times, extended lockdowns, vaccine issues etc,.My mind went to overload last week, hearing the news. I just had to turn the news and all the other negative things off. Enough is Enough. It was time for a change and just to take care of what I have control over. The other things I can't change I thought , so what to do....... start painting. 


CREATIVE THERAPY

I love art, going to the galleries and museums  , looking at the fabulous works of art from the masters. I remember the first time I saw Rembrandts night watch in  Amsterdam, it was astonishing and magnificent! It takes your breathe away.  

So I checked out some paint kits to try.  What a wonderful way to spend the day. Its like creative therapy.  I think much needed in these trying times  for kids and adults.


Love this whimsical art.. that makes one dream of things.



MORNING LAUGHS

Once you start to watch these funny videos you can't stop, they are so hilarious and cute.

A real mood uplifting thing to start the mornings. or an afternoon when you start to feel tired you can enjoy a good laugh.

PLANT CARE

I have some potted plants that are really in a sad state. One is the mini rose plant, another is the Chrysanthemum  and the last  is the Poinsettia . I was thinking to toss them  but someone told me to just to cut them down. Then plant them in another pot outside and cover, they  should come back . So I am hoping they do. Fingers crossed.




Anyone else know of another way to save these plants?

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!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
