Bring Your Own Sunshine!

posted by

Wherever you go, whatever you do, no matter what the weather does, always bring your own sunshine! :-) A couple of days ago I read the following tweet ‘I don’t get tired by the weather but I get tired by all the people that are complaining about the weather’. It made me smile. Yes, it’s […]

Keep Calm, Listen to Music!

posted by

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything” – Plato What a week! ;-) I am happy that it’s weekend now. The last days I felt jumpy and I promised myself to relax more, as there is more to life than increasing its speed. […]

“The best make up is your smile. There is no beauty like the one that comes from inside of you” “Beauty is not about mere appearances. True beauty comes from the inside. The more you show who you are, the more beautiful you will be” Although this is absolutely true I wanted to share a […]

‘We are always getting ready to live, but never living’ ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson This is so true. I think that most of us are doing this every single day. We plan and we say ‘I will do that when….’ But are we doing all that ‘getting ready’ and missing out on the bigger picture. This […]

Happiness at the ‘Winter’ Beach

“Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot” ~Aristotle To be honest, I am not much of a winter lover – mainly because I am a bit scared when I have to drive in the snow or on an icy road – but I do like the smell of fresh air, the […]

Happy Positive Thinking!

posted by

“If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you’ll never enjoy the sunshine” It’s much easier said than done to shift your focus to positive thoughts. Sometimes you just have an off-day! Some things that I do to help overcome negative thoughts are: 1. Pilates: It takes my focus away from my thoughts. 2. Smile: […]

Happy Home Inspiration

posted by

“Little Things Make Big Days!” Sometimes you just need to do something totally different for a couple of hours. The result is that you can focus your mind afterwards! And that’s exactly what I did this afternoon. :) I went to an interior warehouse (called “Loods 5”)… to clear my mind, to get some inspiration for […]

Happy Hearts!

posted by

Home is where the heart is. It’s weekend! Outside it’s cold, misty and somber. It’s absolutely weather to stay inside. One of the little things that make me happy is a saturday with hardly no plans. Read some magazines, get some inspiration, put on candles and use the fireplace. I like to potter around my home – […]

Smile at the World

posted by

“Never regret something if it once made you smile :)” “You have one life to live & when it’s all said and done, you will know… happiness is a choice.” I often say to myself: A day not laughed is a day not lived! But a smile doesn’t always mean that we’re happy. Sometimes it simply […]
