Manic-cure Monday

5/26/2014

0 Comments

 
Googmorning friends! I hope you had a nice weekend and I wish you all a great beginning to the new week.
My weekend was a relaxing one, the weather was sunny and hot, it's beginning to look a lot like summer! We had the elections Sunday, here in Greece, after a long campaign period , everything ended up quiet and peacefully... and a new(???...) Monday just began!
I have plans on posting my week or days in review or at least moments of my everyday life real soon, so if you're interested stay close!
As for today... the day was so sunny in the morning it travelled my mind away, to some Greek island under the Greek sun enjoying the sea and the sand... dream on dreamer... noon soon came bringing clouds and raindrops and it all broke out in a fast thunderstorm!!
Anyway, my mood transfered... to my nails! The sky may be grey, but my nails is blue, the deepest marine blue, with a slight purple twist and some "sunny" gold highlights... dreamy, dreamy, I'm totally in love with it and the way it matches my still white skin... Perfection in a colour! After all, I love everything blue!

I hope I gave you some idea-inspiration for your Monday manic-cure, a wonderful colour-cure for your eyes to look at the rest of the week.
Enjoy your week, have fun and try to lough as often as you can.
Be back soon,
love you all, xoxo Elena

Manic-cure Monday

5/19/2014

0 Comments

 
Hello friends! I hope you all had a beautiful weekend and you are ready to fresh start the new week!Monday though is usually a difficult day...especially if you had a great weekend and now you have to return to the same all everyday routine... Just another MANIC MONDAY??...
Why not treat yourself with a little luxury at the beginning of the week to make you feel a little happier those manic Mondays?
I decided to make my weekly manicure on Mondays, so I can look at my bold, coloured nails the rest of the week. Colour always lifts the mood, right? And my hands will be preppy and beautiful the whole week, which gives me an extra feeling of neatness and elegance!
So that wiil be my Monday cure... or if you prefer... my Manic-Cure, my "Monday Manic-cure"!!
I'll try to have some photos for you each Monday of my weekly manic-cure, so I'll be more happy if you stay in touch!
This week's "Monday Manic-cure"
 is a pale purple-pink colour named "violette".

Welcome March!

3/4/2014

0 Comments

 
Hello my sweet friends. Spring is officialy here since we're in March, but the weather definitely looks like winter.... ok, maybe not a heavy, cold winter... but definitely not spring! Are you confused? So am I! Well March happens to be the most confusing and unexpected month of the year. March is also the month I was born! No comments on that one, please... Actually is the month of birthdays in my family since me, my husband and my father in law we all have our birthdays in March!
Unfortunately it's been raining three days in a row and although it was a long weekend here in Greece with Monday a day off everybody stayed indoors... what a pity! With the weather matching my mood completely and my soul crying for a reason... or many reasons.... I spent the weekend at home with my husband relaxing, watching movies on TV (we also rent the "Malavita" DVD with Robert de Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer which was good enough), watching the carnival in many Greek -and not only- towns, surfing the internet, reading... and sleeping... a lot.
After this... exciting, but necessary cocooning Tuesday has arrived and guess what??... Sun came out of the clouds bright and magnificent to warm our hearts and spread the happiness... but I still feel cold and my mind is so full of worrying thoughts...
Time will show, only time and some action...Hey, look, the sun is smiling, let's smile too, it's not that difficult!

Flowers from my love, Robert Fisher's last book currently reading, delicious and adorable macarons and one of my favorite, healthy and yummy breakfasts... all small but very special treats!!!

Thank you so much for reading,
I'm so happy and grateful I have five wonderful followers at bloglovin,
thanks so much for your appreciation!
Love you all,

Baby Carnival!

2/22/2014

Hello world. I know, I know it's been long again... but I was exsausted and stressed and not really in the mood for writing... I'm so sorry that I can't be consequent and I'm afraid that runs my whole life from time to time, but I have the excuse for that: priorities and perfectionism!
Ok, it's Saturday afternoon of a late winter early spring day, actually a calm and beautiful day with a few white as snow clouds scattered here and there in the sky and the night is coming chilly and velvety... Don't lough at my quirky poetic mood, this season is so inspiring! As I already told you it's been a stressful period for me and I need those pretty pictures so much! A romantic airy white little dress is hanging from a beautiful porch of an old house opposite mine... so cute and dreamy... It's carnival time here in Greece and you can see the cutest and most wonderful costumes worn by kids everywhere! Such a cheerful note between Christmas and Easter celebrations. So much color and joy!

Well, the night has come, I cooked, we ate, I washed, dried and freezed all those blueberries and raspberries I bought yesterday, we made hot chocolate and enjoyed with fresh macarons.... while watching the news on TV, some bad, some good.... and life goes on....
I' ll have to live you now and wish you all a wonderful Saturday night and the best weekend ever! Enjoy every moment, it's your life!
Love you all,
xoxo Elena

Beautiful Easter tablescapes

5/1/2013

Just a few days before Orthodox Easter and 1st of May! Wish you all a wonderful month!
Celebrate seasons have always been stressful for me. Too many expectations, maybe...,as well as the fact I want everything picture perfect in a real world, in a real life.....Well, perfect things happen in fairytales... or advertisments maybe, but real life is unpredictable. I keep saying this all the time.
Anyway, these days really worth the effort to do our best, as long as we enjoy it, in order to keep customs and traditions live for us and our children. Celebrations is a great way to come closer to each  other and experience Easter's true meaning which is love... give and take...
Family or friendly gatherings are usually in program and can be sooo beautiful and happy around these spring decorated tables! I found the most wonderful Easter tablescapes around the blogosphere and I present them here just for you! Happy, Blessed Easter to all of us!
