It's wonderful, it's wonderful..

Here are a few more pics from my absolutely wonderful, crazy Italian holiday. I find there is nothing more re-charching than traveling to a place you have never been to. I was lucky to visit some of the most beautiful places in Italy, I have heard so much about! Capri is a luxurious piece of heaven, surrounded by the blue sea.. Positano is a peaceful town, a place of the past, which has the most beautiful secluded beaches. Amalfi and Sorento are all full of the old-fashioned Italian charm, the small hand-made limoncello and herb shops, the cafe on the main piazza, where you can meet everyone...and flirt with everyone. Italians do it best - they certainly know how to live, love and laugh! Ciao and arrivederchi bella Italia!

Summer, Sun, Friends and Fun

..and you let it go...

In Harmony With Nature

I truly believe that every one has their comfort zone! Having grown up surrounded by nature, I find my piece and quiet in the countryside. There, I can truly sit in silence and listen to my intuition, to what my body and my soul and trying to tell me, but I could never hear in the always busy, buzzing big city. When you feel like this buzz of never ending parties/ socialising/ networking gets a bit overwhelming, I suggest just listen to your inner voice and let it lead you to this place where you feel the most at ease. Now I know that I am truly happiest when I run bare feel in my grandparents garden, playing with my dog, waring zero make-up and not caring about a thing in the world. Getting back to the basics, to where I first felt happiness and freedom is where I can still find it time after time, year after year!

How to Really Detox?

The craze about detoxing does not only mean incorporating alkaline green leaf vegies in your life! It means avoiding toxic relations and toxic people, negative thoughts, bad attitudes. No matter where you are, the people you let in your life would be crucial to your perspective on life. It makes a huge difference if you are surrounded by friends who believe in you, by people who don’t take life too seriously. 

 If there is a toxic aspect in your life, which holds you back (it could be a job, a relative, a friend or partner) and you feel you cannot overcome the negativity, then you have to learn to let go and release yourself from the burden. It is a long process, a long journey and so is life. There is no right or wrong and the only thing that matters is how you truly feel! Simply asking yourself weather you are wearing this dress/ lip gloss because you feel comfortable in it or because you think it is attractive to others! I think the reason why many people give up on exercising and a healthier lifestyle is because they are doing it for the other and not paying attention on the way it truly makes them feel! Tuning into your body is crucial and once we do we slowly start to see how much unnecessary baggage we carry. This burden could be released, both physically and emotionally!
