I came across a powerful message in Instagram: The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. I think is so true, because it's not about the places you have been to. The best things in life are the people you've loved, the places you've seen, and the memories you've been making along the journey that is life. What other greater glory is there other than sharing precious moments with those around you, Life goes by in an instant,  let me tell you. I was hospitalized not too long ago, I won't get into details, but when I was in the hospital, in my bed, I remember telling myself back then and there, that you never know who your real friends in life are until you meet the ones that are willing to hold your hand during the darkest moments. When the darkness comes knocking on your front door steps, shake it off like its the dirt of a mat. Nonetheless it can get pretty serious for some people sometimes. At which point the darkness has conquered all o

Would you like to play a game? Let’s say you have a magical looking glass that allows you to closely look and examine your health and make any changes you wish you could do. And change the aspects of yourself that you wish you could have. Think about it as a computer, when you go online shopping for example, like in todays age and day that is a regular, normal thing. We don’t even need to move from our seats, we just take the information in and bask in its beauty. Wouldn’t it be beautiful? Well, you have the facts now what do you do with it? If the game came with the manual, would you play it? Well, this is how the constitutions work in the human body. When you were born you were assigned three constitutions because that is just the way your body works, okay lets say that you don’t like the way your body is or the constitutions that you’re body came with, or they are very complicated. Maybe you could change the game rules a bit. You can put the kettle on, because I have a treat for y

Ayurveda is the prevention of sickness, which is greatly emphasized by the use of holistic & alternatives medicines of the hearbal type. Ayurveda includes all types of medicines and includes all branches of it. Pedriatics (babies) to geriatricts (older people); from herbal medicine to general and plastic surgery. Luckily us humans have this precious herbal legacy to draw cures from. Ayurvedic medicines are based on natural ingredients and prepared from herbs. I love walks in natures and picnics. I think the answer to mankind’s worst ills are found in nature, as opposed to what the Greeks believed that you should never go into the woods if you didn’t want to know or discover the darker aspects of yourself lurking in the forest, this sounds like a fairy tale from a Hans Christian Andersen’s children’s book I used to play with when I was a little. A very, very famous one in the history of story time books: Hansel and Gretel. If you didn’t know, now you know. Tweet it if you must. Psyc

Someone that is very important to me once told me, you can't use up your creativity, the more you create or the more you use it the more you have. Determination and creative achievement, are on the rise in todays day and age. I think that the fact that more women are going to work and fighting for their right to equal pay is already a considerable step in the right direction. The mind, is so insidious and controlling it it’s tougher, however it is a powerful tool. Like everything whatever you put your mind to you can accomplish, for instance, when I decided to commence writing my blog. I had a couple of naysayers, who dispensed advice, left, right and center you know what I’m saying? Saw nothing but the brain of a mom with barely the time to meet the demands of her toddler much less meet the needs of a blog. I’m I a sadistic person? of course not, however I was taking their words like sticks and stones. Were they were determined to make me fail? Absolutely. I don’t know if you’ve e

Snowflakes are the most sublime things in life. I’m not sure if you are as surprised to hear this but it’s just so awesome to me. Here is a picture of a watercolour painting I was working on. They are so unique. I think I have a little obsession with snowflakes. Actually,  no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake is unique. I think this is what attracts me to snowflakes. I just wanted to share this with you because it started snowing here, at last. It looks like is going to snow a lot today and it’s exciting because I feel like we are going to have snow from here on until Christmas. Enjoy 😉 <3

Honey is one of the best things in the world. There are so many things you can learn about honey like for example: if the ancient Greeks deemed it as the food of the GODS then you can consume it. Hindus simply consider honey an elixir of inmortality. Honey remains the most interesting thing in history, since facts are very mixed up. I came up with a list of the health benefits of honey for you to look at, and make your own conclusions in your mind. It is made of 80% sugar and 20% water, it contains all of the vital things to carry life. So if you were stuck in the jungle during a complete earth wipeout, it would be important for you to find a bee's nest when you are starving because it contains all of the enzymes, vitamins and nutrients to sustain life. It contains "pinocembrym", a substance said to improve brain functioning. If you are like me then you like to take care of the people you love, honey is an excellent inmune system supporter when it is given to people with

I think that in todays day and age we have an infenitismal desire to reach into our deepest core and taste everything around us. Russia, wears its past on its sleeve and to many is a beloved country of sour past, tumultuous present and a multifaceted future. I wanted to explore this city ever since I was a kid, not so much now, that I am an adult. You ever dream of experiences such as the way a rich, tsar used to eat? Or wander into the streets of Moscow like a lost wanderer and see the St. Petersburg church in the Red Square? Or maybe eat some Russian black caviar? Like I talked about in one of my previous posts. Bread symbolizes so much in Russia, like so much for real. Fertility, hospitality, warmth, survival, well-being. One Russian tradition is for its guests to be treated with bread and salt or sometimes decorated with an extravagantly karavai loaf. Or there is the black bread called Borodinsky which tastes of coriander and molasses mixed together and is unlike anything in the wo

Hi, how are you doing my friends? I come from an island, found in the Caribbean, which houses some of the best beaches in the world. I want to share this with you because this is like a hidden gem, a pearl, that only few people are cognizant of. I am from Holguin, sure it doesn't have the name of popular, and extremely prestigious beaches in the Occidental Coast like in Varadero, Habana, for instance but the beaches from where I am from are so nice that it looks like the ocean is trying to reach to try to scoop up some soft, powdery sand.   I urge you to explore this place my friends, this island along with the beaches make up for one of the loveliest, if not most proper, friendliest people on the planet. A rumbera in a typical traditional fashion, walking the streets of La Habana vieja. I loved this trip! This is a beach that you can find in Givara, Christopher Columbus official place of discovery. This is me, I am sitting in the midst of a garden, where the statu

I love feeling inspired, to me this is the best feeling in the whole wide world. What is it for you? What moves you? I like flowers. I really take inspiration in  divination form and that aspect of the flowers as a whole. For example, let's say I happen to cross paths with a campanula or I visit a friends house and they have a particular flower to which its symbolism is unknown to me, I have to decipher it. I find this intriguing and to be honest with you it's a great way to pass  time and let stress melt away. Somedays when I'm feeling very stressed out or I had a hectic week at work, I come home light up some candles, sit and read about flowers that have a certain ring to it. Each flower has a distinct meaning or definitive purpose. There are zillion's of flowers in the world. For a reason they exist on this wonderful world we live in. They are here to amaze us and adorn us with their fragrances and undeniable beauty. Campanula, for instance is a peculiar flower

I know for a fact that you all have seen this film, after all, it is one of the greatest films in the history of children and adult movies. One based on a storybook, which narrates the same story you saw on the silver screen many years ago if you were alive back then to catch it. Alice, such a good girl, just simply having fun, enjoying herself. If you have to rematch this movie to any other of its kind, I will stand here and wait, by all means, do your thing. No, not really, because I have way better things I can do with my time. The book is as juicy as the show. The characters are dreamy and anyway, I don’t mean to ruin the movie for you. If you’re on your laptops right now, do yourselves a favour and watch a classic as this one is. Calm your horses for a bit, I don’t have any spoilers alert for this movie, but if it’s your hearts desire that I continue to tell you what happens I will gladly do so, as its in my best of interests that you watch, yep, you got it, I get brownie points f

The right-left hemispheres of the brain are a rad working system and a hindrance. As we know, I know for a fact, that there are multiple ways to find out if you’re the methodical, number crunching type, or if you’re a creative thinking personality based. The number of personality based quizzes on the internet is staggering. How do you find out if you are a left-brain hemisphere type or the right brainy type? Well, I am about to tell you, if you keep reading on, you will find out shortly.:) It turns out I am a righty. I have a few things to add to my list in terms of characteristics. Is it possible to have both hemispheres as part of a healthy personality you ask? Yes! You can be good at both! Wonderful, isn't it? Its baffling as it is cool, left and right brain activities are possible, unless you have a pre-existing condition that inhibits you from carrying out daily activities that you normally excel in if you’re righty, like me or a leftie. Almost, all persons in the universe are

I have learnt something so new and refreshing. How I wondered if you guys would like to try this?! A friend of mine suggested I go to Michaels and dig up in the drawing section because apparently there is a way to get rid of depression. Or even if something is afflicting you and you can’t be affluent about it with your friends. I put it to the test and it’s probably the best thing ever. You can probably go tell me to take the high road with this but it’s up to you kids. Everyone is different right? Just like a snowflake ❄️. I tried the bird drawing technique and it was a nice little thing to do for myself. Give it a shot and I hope it works great for you. Thank you for reading my blog, for real. <3

I’m posting things that make me happy. My clean house 🏡. Breakfast in bed 🛌. And I think trying to get some sleep which I didn’t include in the list, because I didn’t have any space left. I also love strolling through a market, particularly if there’s animals in the market. I live in the mountains. It’s awesome where I live, except when it snows it’s awful because it gets frantically cold. Below zero. <3

Hi :)

I’m so happy because I am celebrating my birthday today. I’m hoping it’s a nice weekend for you.. As for me, it’s a special birthday, I hope it turns out to be a spectacular one. Which is why I’m just a little bit hung over and hungry. <3
