Hello and Happy Friday!
What a great evening spent with my family. My brother and his girlfriend are here for the weekend and it is awesome talking and laughing with both. Family is the best. Friends of my parent’s hosted a village BBQ and party that we were all able to attend. It was nice to watch how this little community sticks together and help each other out. How happy they all were, happy with what they have, happy where they live. We saw the most beautiful sunset and enjoyed nature while we sat close to the fire. I also had been reminded again today that I have to stop thinking and analyzing everything all the time. I need to relax and give my brain a break once in a while. Just enjoy the moment. Here are my Friday Five Things I would like to share. Keep reading if you would like. Enjoy!
Reading: I finished Sally Andrew’s Recipes for Love and Murder: A Tannie Maria Mystery and loved it. I like crime novels. Sally Andrew’s novel set in rural South Africa is full of mystery, delicious recipes, humor, romance and was hands down an awesome read. From South Africa I traveled straight to Russia and read Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Currently I am finishing The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. Fantastic, sad — a masterpiece! Highly recommended. Book reviews will follow.
Watching: Michael Moore’s latest movie Where to Invade Next. Eye-opening, thought-provoking and right-on on so many levels.
I also enjoyed the movie The Danish Girl.
“The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.”
Learning/Discovering: Have you heard of Rage Yoga?
“[reyj yoh-guh] noun: a practice involving stretching, positional exercises and bad humor, with the goal of attaining good health and to become zen as f*ck. More than just a practice, Rage Yoga is an attitude.”
I love Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s latest project in Italy. So awesome, beautiful and worth a trip to Italy. Well, Italy is always worth trip. The Floating Piers construction will open on 18 June until 3 July 2016.
I looked somewhat like this when I first heard about Skin Food Hydro Fitting Snail Mask. Am I really supposed to put snail trails in my face to make my skin tighter, regenerate cells and give it a healthy glow? Well, snails to the rescue, hah! Would you try this mask?
Enjoying: Spending time outdoors with my son. This place is great for kids and to see local animals. Plan a visit when it is sunny and don’t forget sunscreen, a camera and a bottle of water.
Looking Forward to: Lars von Trier’s new movie The House That Jack Built.
I love Lars von Trier and think all his movies are fantastic. Have you ever seen Dogville? Or Dancer in the Dark?
Have a great weekend.
