what are they?

Things I love to share are the ones that make my day when I wake up, or make me feel good about my self, or even better help me learn something new every single day.

Celebrities...

They have personal trainers
Personal chefs
Personal beauticians
Personal stylists
Personal hair stylists
Personal make up artists
Personal assistants
Nannies for their kids
Fake teeth
Fake hair
Fake lips
Fake boobs
Fake nails
Lipos
Botox
Peelings
All kinds of ridiculous beauty and health treatments...

And STILL their photos need to be retouched
And STILL they manage to look "not so great" up close
And STILL they have cellulite
And STILL they have wringles

Just like the rest of us... but we do not spend all that money to look like that...

So the question is... Is it worth it?

Why I support Liverpool

I am being selfish, I know.

But John Barnes was a pretty good excuse to watch a game even though I did not understand much:



Not much of a football follower, but hey... does it matter?

What a man SHOULD look like

This is a fine example: Feliciano Lopez




Yes it is true, I have a thing for guys with long hair (and tennis players apparently).


What a man should NOT look like

Sorry guys... this is not cool or funny...




And I can assure you that ladies are not attracted by this image.

Tip for curly hair

Do NOT use blow dryer.








Simply put shampoo- condition - nourishing mask - rinse - dry with a towel - put mousse - small quantity of hair gel - a curly hair product - hairspray while hair is still slightly wet - let it dry naturally.

Without the use of a blow dryer it takes a few days for the curles to be back and spectacular.











Like a spa

Best body treatment.

Spa Wisdom Africa Ximenia & Salt Scurb by Body Shop

I use it almost everyday and my skin is glowing.

Love it!










Sweet dreams

I admit it..

I fell asleep while watching The Insider



Guilty!




Best soap opera actor

Eduardo Palomo




We miss him...

What a woman SHOULD look like

That's what I am talking about...







Too thin? No way

Juicy, curvy, simply wonderful? YES!






What a woman should NOT look like

I do not think that women should look like GI Joe




Working out? Yes

Getting ready to beat Conan? No

IMO only






Day at the beach

The best coctail ever!





I want it all... the umprellas, the cherries, everything.

Think I will take my drink and enjoy it in the hammock of dreams!

Words that changed my life

Epicurus is my favorite philosopher.

He speaks of our world with honesty and rationalism, and this gives us the strength to see what is real and what is not.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily 

If the gods listened to the prayers of men, all humankind would quickly perish since they constantly pray for many evils to befall one another.



He has helped me realize what actually matters what does not.

 

I remember that tear

Moscow Olympic Games.

The most touching closing ceremony.

This is my favorite part, the tears of Misha.



I remember crying for days, feeling sorry for my favorite mascot and wishing him a safe journey.

The best tennis player

My all time favorite tennis player is Bjorn Borg






Simply wonderful.




My favorite eurovision ballad

I just fell in love with it!



Beautiful song and beautiful voice.


Hammock made of (and for) dreams

Definitely the best place to go when I need to relax... even if it is just in my dreams!







Aaaahh.. silence please...





A painting I can spend hours looking at

I absolutely love this painting, Danae by Klimt.



So much has already been said about it.

I just get lost in those colors, in that warm red hair, in that vibrant golden rain.

Love it.






My favorite scent when I am at the office

I spent almost 10 hours every day in front of a pc.

Unfortunately it is not possible to have music on (too many people around, too many phones ringing..) so I have decided that at least I am going to have my office smell like paradise.

Recently I have discovered the Body Shop Mantaring & Tangelo spray and candle.




That smell is all I need to get me started right from the moment I open the door of my office.

It wakes up every part of me and fills me with energy.

The candle is on everyday and the spray stays in my purse ready for use whenever I need an extra push.

I love it!
