I have always been a dreamer. I ‘ve mentioned it before. Lately I ‘ve felt inspired in so many ways and found so many new things to dream about, that I almost feel complete only by dreaming of them. Is that absurd? I think not, as I am sure that many people like me find a…

Drying citrus fruits for decorations
Do you ever notice that some feelings are associated with smells? Today it had to smell like orange. And clove. It had to be Christmas in every way possible around the house, as Christmas is the best anti-depressant for the moody winter days. Drying fruit for decorations proved to be much messier than I thought,…
DIY Christmas decorations (Galaxy circles)
As promised, the second super fast and easy Christmas decoration is now online too! No particular skills are needed for this one either! So for this decoration I used kid’s modelling paste (air dries) and some glitter and other shiny “galaxy” shapes. Method: Cut a small piece of the paste (cover the rest of it…
DIY Christmas decorations (Christmas Stars)
This year Christmas came back home. And by home I mean my parent’s house, where I grew up and after my dad died was abandoned, as my mom couldn’t stay in such a “negatively” charged environment any more. So it remained empty for 5 years. Difficult, challenging and sad years where we had to go…
Cinnamon biscuits, friends and Christmas. (by Evangelia P.)
We had a really wonderful Sunday with friends today. A large brunch, some November ice-creams (it is always a good time for ice-cream), lots of laughs, love, new souls, and latte cappuccino’s! It could not be better. This whole meeting really made me feel that we are close to the Christmas season, when everyone returns home…
Rainy days
Rainy days have finally started, reminding us again that in one week it is actually December. Autumn is gradually loosing its significance, as we seem to be moving from summer to winter and then to summer again, completely skipping fall and spring time. At least here in the big city there is no such thing as…
Homemade herbal bath teas.
I don’t think anyone will disagree that Saturday is the best day of the week. You have the time to rest, go out, do the things you were waiting for the whole week and still have one day of sleep to go. I tend to take my time and think more on Saturdays. I plan,…
Those early mornings
There is a particular time early in the morning that time moves slower. It is unfortunate that most of us don’t have the time (ironic) to feel those moments, the smells and chill and early dew. Everything moves in-between the seconds then and there is plenty of time to reflect and slowly prepare your mind…
Anthropologie – November favorites
Lately, I am experiencing particularly calm feelings. Such, that I had almost forgotten, given the pressure and difficulties and inner searching and mood swings of the last years. I don’t know if this will last long but I try to enjoy every moment as much as I can. I have so much going on in…
Thoughts by the fireplace…
Humidity has made its appearance this afternoon, although it is a gorgeous sunny November that actually feels like April. Sitting by the fireplace, just staring at the fire can make you think a little more deeply than usual and this is what is happening for me right now. I enjoy these moments with a cup…
Grandma’s rustic Spinach Pie!
Having moved to my old, (and four years abandoned) house recently, means facing everyday “decay” challenges. A house that had no electricity, many broken roof tiles and weathered wooden doors for that long, is no easy thing and as winter approaches (thank God it’s Greece) I am in a constant fight with time. A situation…
What slow living means (to me)
I thought I should write a few things about this thing called “slow living” and how I perceive it as an idea and lifestyle. First of all, there is no “rule” board or specific regulations that you must follow, anyone can translate it the way they want. It is a broad idea, that first started…
