It is funny that we wait until the 1st of each year in order to make our resolutions. Maybe its the glittery feeling of the night or the sparkling wine in our lipstick stained glass that somewhat gives the impression of formality to all of this. It may be just another day, but it is…

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…
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…
Some thoughts on self doubt.
A wise woman once said to me “Change is a law of nature, but fortunately humans have the ability to re-adjust”. I often ask myself what is right and what is wrong. If I am a good person or a bad one. If I am too little or too much for each occasion. How my worth…
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…
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…
Wondering aloud
I often go for a walk in the center of my city. With music in my ears and eyes wide open for details. It is when I do a lot of my thinking. It usually follows the music as well. And I walk and walk until some kind of resolution comes to my head. A…
Happy October days
I often suspected that Autumn colors are the best colors a season can have. Now I am sure. All these yellows, oranges, reds, browns. A color scheme fit for the best artist that is nature. It is also the first time in my life I actually buy a pumpkin! A humble, little pumpkin…
When life gives you lemons…
There are some days that are just happy days. Nothing special happening. Just calm, relaxing, stress free, usually sunny, happy days. I love when this happens. When you wake up in the morning with lemon-pie cravings and an Illy espresso to go with it. These days also tend to run fast and the evening comes…
I dreamed of…
I am often dreaming. Day-dreaming to be more exact. Its is not reality that I want to avoid. It is myself in this reality. Since I realised that I am not the best judge of me, I try to detour from my “real-life” conversations with myself and how “I do” in the everyday tasks and try…
