Sounds of Summer

THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER


 I am a complete nature nut.....  take me out of the city into the wonderful outdoors and its like 
a complete change of mind and feeling, there is nothing more relaxing then setting out on an
adventure, be it big or small.
Sundays are made for  enjoying the day, spending time with family or doing nothing. but sit and read or wander a pathway, whatever takes your fancy.

 One of my all time favourite things to listen to is the sounds of birds, and if at home I will listen to
a recording of nature, An absolute relaxing , mood changing feeling.

So hopefully it might inspire you to try one of these things.
  • Sitting outdoors by a fire
  • Reading a book
  • NO computers or phones!
  • Giving yourself a spa treatment
  • Trying a new craft or diy
  • Writing friends a postcard  what a surprise that be, as we all use email to connect
  • Listening to the birdsongs


Have a super Sunday !

A SIMPLE CHANGE - beauty matters

Image
  I love a change now and then , but lets face it, it is not always possible or can be to expensive if you follow trends . Shopping for new things can really add up and also adds more clutter to our closets. Of course we can donate some items or sell online. But it is also a good idea to look for pieces that will last for several years. I have some pieces in my closet that would be considered vintage. Linen suit or a designer knit top.   SIMPLE CHANGES  Sometimes I like a simple change . One of my favourite ways to make a change are my nails.  A new nail polish is always  so fun to try. Not only does it look nice but it can cheer one up to have a simple change. I have tried many different brands of polishes, once i find a colour I love I make sure to get extra, because nothing is more annoying if it is discontinued.  SO now is time for a simple easy change.   What about you? Do you like to change your nail polish colours?

THE PLUS SIDE OF FASHION

BEING A PLUS  THE OTHER DAY I CAME ACROSS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE TEN FAMOUS PLUS SIZE MODELS.  I THINK IT IS GREAT TO SEE THE WOMAN WITH MORE CURVES MAKING CHANGES IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, AND IT IS ALSO A GOOD BUSINESS IDEA. BUT I LOOK AT THOSE MODELS - THEY ARE MODELS AND AGAIN IT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE THAT WOMAN THAT ARE PLUS SIZE ARE AS TALL AS THOSE GIRLS. SO A SIZE 18 PLUS  ON SOMEONE TALLER LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THEN ON SOMEONE SHORTER. SO AGAIN IT REALLY IS NOT THE NORM FOR MOST GIRLS OR WOMEN, THE AVERAGE HEIGHT OF 5,2  TO 5,6. IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THE YOUNGER WOMEN BEING PART OF THE RUNWAYS OR FASHION MAGAZINES AND ITS A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR THOSE THAT READ OR FOLLOW INSTAGRAM. WELL I WAS LOOKING AT THE SOME OF THE PHOTOS OF THESE MODELS, SO MANY WERE PHOTOS OF SWIMWEAR OR POSES THAT WERE OVERLY SEXY. MORE AND MORE IMAGES SEEM TO SHOW CURVY WOMAN IN POSES THAT ARE NOT ABOUT THE FASHION BUT SOMETHING ELSE.   THIS TO ME IS  A BIG SHAME, AS IT MAKES WOMAN

THE PERFECT - OUTDOOR HIKING RAINWEAR / FASHION

APRIL SHOWERS...... MAKE THAT MAY SHOWERS Hi everyone, been a while since I last posted, but really with lockdowns wasn't much to share . Fashions were all about comfort and loungewear . How many loungewear posts can one look at. But now that we are finally over lockdowns and travel is soon possible , there are things to look forward to. Like getting outdoors, going for hikes or camping.  We have had a mixed bag of weather  lately, some hot days followed by cooler, then rainy days. Its actually nice to have some rain. I like how fresh the air is after a good downpour.   One thing needed for such unusual weather is a decent jacket : I don't mind to be out in the rain, so long as I have the right jacket or coat. I like  a hooded one that covers one well and protects your head. I use to have  a  longer nylon  jacket with a concealed hood hidden in the collar , which was nice and compact for travel and didn't look like  sportswear.  But now  I wanted one with some extras. I fou
