Us humans are sociable creatures. We like to meet, gather, exchange, learn from each other, discover, mingle. But we also love peaceful moments, relaxation, wellness, finding a deeper connection with our mind and bodies, taking care of ourselves. We also love good food. So what if we could combine all of the above into one…

Mirror mirror…
But the question is always the same? Who am I? Do I really know myself? In years of thinking about it I have come to one conclusion about this matter, which actually makes things even more complicated than simply “knowing”. There is no solid self. There is a core, a bag full of abilities, feelings,…
BCN in pictures …and feelings
If I could travel constantly, I would. If I could have a life on the road, I would too. That is how much I love seeing places and experiencing new things. One of the biggest concerns in my life is not having done too much until I am gone, although I see that fulfilling this…
Α butterfly for Danai-Vintage
But how can you spread your wings and fly? Will they let you? I often ask myself if I think too much or too little of the things I am “supposed” to do. That society asks of me. The unwritten “rules” and “regulations” with which I must comply in order for the others to feel…
Happy Resolutions for a New Year
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…
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,…
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…
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…
My new love for handcrafted ceramics.
So these last few days I had to go out of town for some business visits, but I am happy I managed to meet with good friends and share some moments – and drinks with them. A lovely company of people, who I know from University times and with whom I have apparently formed that…
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…
