LIFE LATELY earthy things// lifestyle, wellness, life in lockdown

 EARTH DAY CELEBRATED

It is  a wonderful way to give back something to the environment and earth. I am waiting to plant the flowers  but we did get something more for outside,  some berry bushes - blueberries and boysenberries .  Something we love are blueberries ,   a summer treat  so can't wait to  taste a juicy berry.

The other thing that needed tending was my compost project that i started a few months ago. So will be able to add the much needed compost to the pots.  Its amazing how well it worked with out any added cost. A BONUS.  Have you tried composting?



PARTY Time to celebrate

The last week was pretty busy as we celebrated family birthdays, (in lockdown again) so  nothing big planned. But this weekend  it is the Oscar awards something I look forward to every year. So will enjoy the weekend, see the winners and sip some bubbly.  Cheers!

Every morning we have the enjoyment of hearing the birds chirping.
It really does feel like nature is right outside our door. I also find it so
relaxing to hear ,  its like meditating with nature.

Talking about meditating, if you like the sounds of birds here is a video to provide you with something to meditate to.

  1. Beautiful post by the way. It’s lovely you are getting into nature; I would be interested to hear more about this. I planted some flowers this morning so it’s just a case of watering them now and I’m hopeful to see them come up! :-) xx

A look at some of designs and her style. tamer looks  images, vogue , runway magazine,  

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.

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

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
