Ideas For A Happy Weekend


It is weekend. A feeling of bliss and happiness. Although a mean cold has crossed my eager plans to attend the international furniture fair imm in Cologne this weekend, I am still happy. I will use this weekend to finally obey to what I am always postulating here on my weekend posts. To slow down. To balance body and mind after a rough and busy week. To listen to the body and not feeling guilty for spending a lazy weekend without plans or to-dos. And you know what I love most about my weekends? I love the little things. Like breakfasts. It's the only time when I can fully enjoy a relaxed and delicious breakfast. I like waking up and taking a slow and extended breakfast. Freshly brewed coffee that disseminates its smell in the entire apartment, fresh pastry, a bowl of cereals or porridge, one or two spoons of rich jams and Nutella, a glass of squeezed orange juice - and the day can come! Have a great weekend, my friends!

Ideas For A Happy Weekend


It is weekend, finally! After a busy week at work, I couldn't help but share this amazing quote with you, folks. I think by doing this I am reminding myself of it, too: Be kind to yourself! Maybe we really need to be kind to ourselves first to spread kindness and happiness to others as well. How often do we catch ourselves being our own slave driver, questioning our decisions, rushing ourselves from task to task, cutting us short of quality time to relax and do what we love to do. Is this all about modern life? I don't think so. I don't accept! So let's take this weekend to step on the break and be truly kind to ourselves. Find your way to slow down, to calm your senses, to focus on your body and soul. Ok, I am getting now too esoteric - but you get the point. I will obey to this quote and stay in bed. As long as I want to. And remember: no feelings of guilt. Be kind to yourself!

Friday's Finds - The Gift of Giving...

For You
I wanted to share a much needed quote I heard this week:
NOTHING IS PERMANENT BUT CHANGE - Heraclitus
Photographer: Tim Walker

A gift for Mom

Who doesn't need a fabulous new clutch? Above, Anya Hindmarch raffia bags through Vivre. On a tight budget? Below, are clutches by Felix + Rey for Target

For your child

Another great money saving idea, hang cards, images from your favorite calendar or book via small clips or clothes pins. It's much cheaper then spending the money on frames and it creates an unexpected look! Image: Cookie Mag.


A wonderful charity I read about via Cookie Magazine. I know I have clothing my son never wore. I am going to make it a point to drop some items off for children in need. Read more about the charity Uma Thurman supports -
