For MARCHs sake

The first day of Spring is finally here!

♧♧♧

Let's celebrate the end of this long lasting winter and the start of the newborn almond trees' blossoms.

♧

If I had to answer which season of the year is my bestie , I would easily answered Spring (Summer is going out of asking kinda thing!).

♧♧♧

This year , I exercised a little more my ability on crafts and I made March bracelets for my family,my friends and myself. I have to admit that I felt really proud and complete by this little project because sharing love by little actions is the ultimate nowadays.

♧♧♧

Don't find excuses and don't let boredom stop you from sharing.

Conclusively, I hope you all have a great Spring -start and enjoy it to the max!

♧♧♧

Below are my projects hope you like them!

Plus the scented boxes from my Ralph Lauren candles are really usefull for organisation and a great decor for my desk!

Song of the day:Ordinary Love-U2

TGIF: A Backpacker's advices

Despite the fact that I'm in my 20s, I've already gone to some remarkable places around the world. 

♢

My point is, travelling around the world doesn't stop for any time ,for any circumstances.

Find your dream destination, make a survey for airplane tickets,hotels,a list of the attractions you may want to visit,make the budget of the trip fitable to your pocket , pack your backpack,choose a good companion and get outta here!

Every Friday I am gonna share with you my travel guides for all the places I've ever been!

Fridays are to be enjoyed.

Sea calms you , takes away your problems and thoughts, makes you feel pure heart-soul-mind relaxation and give you and optimisation sense. 

I adore sea , she brings me an unlimited feeling of happiness and pureness.

Αν κατσεις και αφουγκραστεις τον ήχο της,την κίνηση της θα σου φανερώσει τροπους να κατευνασεις το πνεύμα σου και θα σου δώσει μια ανεξήγητη εσωτερική δύναμη να συνεχισεις αρμονικά την πορεία σου.Αρκεί να αφεθείς στα χέρια της παντοτινης θάλασσας.

Valentine's Day is on the road so I desided to make some Red clay hearts to decorate my living's room little table.

It is super easy and you are gonna love this!
