So to close the year with a little bang, sharing some pictures of a well deserved plaque which my mother in law had earned at the Circus Hall of Fame ( similar to the Hollywood Walk of Fame). As a well known circus performer, she was recognised for her contributions and her act to the Circus industry and we are so proud of her.
  I hope you enjoy this Korean style look I present in this post ! A lover of frills and ruffles, I could not help putting both together in this outfit post. I especially love this cute culotte from Shein.com with ruffle straps, which could be easily mix and match.
  Will be on a flight soon heading home so in case I miss wishing you on time - here's a Very Happy New Year to all of you and may 2018 bring you good health and success in all you do!
  We live in a very busy and not very balanced world, chasing after good life, fame, riches and youth. The desire to look young is implanted in every of us, but the biological clock seems to tick faster as we get on with our life. To enjoy your natural age more effectively, without using the help of plastic surgeries you need to find a way of remaining as youthful as possible in a natural and spiritual way. Fortunately, the secrets to remaining young and vibrant in order to enjoy what you have gathered are out!
  Eat your meals with fresh fruits and lots of green vegetables, these besides have lots of good vitamins, fiber and minerals have a rich amount of life energy. Take a lot of water, eat grains, nuts and whole food rich in antioxidants if you want to live longer, healthier and have great skin with no wrinkles. Processed food have many calories but no values to your body!
  The body also needs rest, specially if you have a busy lifestyle. In one week, set aside one or two days to regain lost energy. This boosts your immune system and making you look younger, as relaxed people always look much younger then people with lots of tension.
  Try jogging for at least 30 minutes in the morning, workout in the gym or practice yoga and you will be amazed at how fast you decelerate the ageing process. Exercising is also a way of meditation as you have to concentrate and connect with your body and good blood circulation will give your face a healthy colour.
  Make it your goal to make breathing exercises every day. This will give you physical well being, feel your lungs, blood with oxygen and bring clarity of mind.
  Boost your youth by taking time to reconnect your body mind and soul through meditation. Without peace and contentment, you age faster and meditation is therefore to reverse this trend.
  Your skin and body need Vitamin D and luckily for you the happy, positive energy and rays of the sun are at hand to make sure you don’t miss out on your daily dose. Get out and bask moderately.
  You can reverse the ageing process if you train your mind to see the positive things of life. A young soul is one that believes every obstacle can be overcome.
