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?

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. ...
