FASHION FRIDAYS - MAKES YOUR LIFE BETTER WITH THERAPY.
When I sat down to write this post this week, I thought about how writing this could make a real difference . While I won't reveal my age I'm not a kid . Therefore it has surprised me how much I have gotten from going to therapy . Although this is my first experience with therapy , it is self evident that I would have benefited from going much earlier . Going to therapy originally was to treat an addiction , but it soon grew it to an amazing life experience . It has opened me up to taking many self-help workshops and the discovery of Mindfulness .
What is mindfulness ?
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.
While mindfulness is something we all naturally possess, it’s more readily available to us when we practice on a daily basis.
Whenever you bring awareness to what you’re directly experiencing via your senses, or to your state of mind via your thoughts and emotions, you’re being mindful. And there’s growing research showing that when you train your brain to be mindful, you’re actually remodeling the physical structure of your brain.
How Do I Practice Mindfulness
What I have started is a practice of mindful walking . Although this is not my own discovery I perform it differently than most. Therefore what I do is a walk through my city environment concentrating on my breath and being mindful of every step I take . Hence during this walk things will come to my mind as thoughts arise I say thank-you for sharing and let it drift by. Here's what I see and how it has calmed my anxiety . Being mindful in an environment that might normally cause anxiety and being calm has changed my life. Concentrating on the environment with no judgement TRY It. Here are the great things I see on my walk in Vancouver.
FASHION FRIDAYS ; PRINCESS EUGENIE AND JACK BROOKSBANK
FASHION FRIDAYS : ROYAL WEDDING LOOKS , YOU CAN DUPLICATE
The celebrities flocked to Windsor and the castle was bedecked in flowers - the second Royal Wedding of 2018 did not disappoint.Princess Eugenie has married her long-term partner, wine merchant and tequila ambassador Jack Brooksbank.
Eugenie, 28, youngest daughter of the Queen's third child, Prince Andrew, and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, tied the knot with Mr Brooksbank, a 32-year-old drinks executive, at Windsor Castle.
Darling's a Royal Wedding is a great opportunity to go star gazing. When attending any wedding we all aim to look our best. Here are three looks from the latest Royal Wedding that you could borrow for your next Fall afternoon wedding.
Poppy Delevingne is dressed in a periwinkle Oscar De La Renta dress and tweed coat, topped off with a blue feathered hat bespoke by Victoria Grant. While some might see this pale blue more suitable for a summer affair, I love it . What really makes this outfit standout is the lace-like cutout fabric . However this look can be achieved thru a cutout ,lace or a small pattern . I chose the small pattern and the color to recreate the essence of this look.
Model Naomi Campbell is outfitted in a black and white tweed Ralph & Russo dress and matching cropped jacket, both accented with soft fringed edges. She completes the look with black leather gloves and suede heels. What the hell, this is one person who doesn't seem to age , I love this look . What this look is about is texture. Therefore I have chosen a similar tweed look .
Kate Middleton arrived in a berry Alexander McQueen mid-length dress with simple black stilettos and and a matching fascinator. Here the element of this beautiful look is the color and classic silhouette. Moreover this raspberry color is unique and makes a classic dress really standout. Therefore I have chosen a stunning dress in a similar jewel tone that also has a classic mid length shape.
FASHION FRIDAYS : CANADA LEGALIZES POT
OR
FASHION FRIDAYS : POUCHES A GOOD PLACE TO CARRY YOUR POT
While most of my readers are American , I am a Canadian writing in Vancouver Canada. Since Vancouver is the city of the west coast, much like Los Angeles in attitude , pot is no big deal. Here in Vancouver we have pot dispensaries in almost every block. However in eastern Canada it may not be as prevalent.
Canada is the second country in the world to legalize marijuana, paving the way for recreational sales throughout the country. Therefore prepare yourself for October 17 as pot will be legal across Canada.
Uruguay did so in 2013. Nine states and Washington, DC, have legalized marijuana for recreational use for adults over the age of 21.
Furthermore darling's I'm not a big pot smoker , however socially I prefer it to drinking. Since we all have our own relationship with marijuana we can agree it's something we should probably hide from the kids. maybe the boss , possibly the parents , certainly the border people. Therefore with this new found freedom to smoke or use edibles I have searched my merchants to find the cutest pouches to keep your stash.
