Nuit

V Day...

Well... I most certainly have experiencied several layers (or types) of love... daughter's love, wife's love, mother's love, friend's love... I also have been hurt, gone through divorce, been lonely... but in the end, all those experiences only bring you closer to yourself, you get to know yourself better and that's priceless.

Having said that.... I wanna know.... what kinda couple are you????

The fun couple... {cute}

or...

Hot couple? {dayuuum!}





Happy Valentine's lovelies!

Start Fresh... love yourself.

Oh my lovely readers... I will not dwell, but it truly is wonderful to step into the new year by your side... so Thank YOU.

And now, for all of you who are thinking about starting fresh and actually make this year a very special one in your life, I am writing this little piece with love.

You know, it is never too late to achieve good health. The human body has an incredible capacity to rejuvenate itself! it is extremely noble. The first step on the road to good health is to decide that you want to be healthy. If you are young, remember “The earlier the better”. If you are old, remind yourself “Better late than never”. Keeping ourself healthy emotionally, physically, and spiritually will help you build develop a happy, productive life. Healthy people come in all different body shapes and sizes.

Learn to appreciate your body for the perfect machine that it is, rather than what it looks like. Most importantly, be active and eat well to improve your health and wellbeing, and you will soon find that your spirit enlightens too.

I have practiced Yoga for quite some time now and I have learned that the best way to go is to accept what your body can do, be in it as fully as possible and breathe. I invite you to try and [down dog] with me and you will see the wonderful results, not only in your body but your entire life.

Eat colorful, organic goods to protect your heart, it is not about starting a diet or anything, just feeding our body what is right. I think its delish!

Stay hidrated... put down the soda can, and you will soon see how your skin pretties up!

Sleep well, let your body recover... give it a chance to do whatever it needs to do to feel right... you know, they don't call it 'beauty sleep' for nothing!

Stretch out each morning! Smile, breathe, enjoy the outdoors for at least 5 minutes a day, your lungs will thank you!

I obviously am no expert, or have the credentials to tell you what to eat or not to eat, but my own life has changed so much by starting to love my body like this, and I feel so passionate about this, that I wanted to share what has worked for me. It is the kind of stuff we always hear, but never do.

Do you have any resolutions for this year?

Love...

Inner Beauty...

Beautiful friends.... girls and boys... you all know my passion is to write about home décor, design, designers and all the lovely colors and trends out there... but you know, every now and then I feel inspired to write about 'other' beautiful things.

I was sailing the web... and I came across something truly beautiful... a powerful attempt by some photographers and actresses, to stand up against Photoshop Airbrushing. I think this is totally fab! have you seen what they do? how they change pretty much everything about a person to make them look 'perfect'??? and there goes the young girl's self esteem!...

Look at Faith Hill in this picture, she is gorgeous as it is! and the airbrushing makes her look plastic :( Lets celebrate natural beauty, inner beauty, beauty that comes from within and reflects on the outside, through someone eyes and smile....

These images below are of real people. With wrinkles that tell stories about their lives.... women like us! Congratulations to whoever is behind this amazing action. Sincerely..

The FACTS Ma'am!

70% of girls ages 15-17 aren't even bothering to participate in normal every day activities due to a lack of self-worth.

Today's beauty ideals create appearance anxiety for 86.9% of all teenage girls.

92% of the young women in the USA want to change some aspect of their physical appearance.

How do you feel about all of this???
