Fall Passion:

By

Well, it's that time of year again and I have to say it is my favorite season.   The leaves on the trees have turned into to glorious orange and beautiful shades of burgundy (My favorite color). Fall is the perfect time of the year to fall in love or renew your love! Just picture it, the earth is sprinkled with leaves to cushion your feet as you stroll along the concrete pavement, the air is crisp and the breeze is gentle and cool. To counteract that cool breeze, you have the closeness of your lover's body embracing yours as you graze the freshly fallen golden leaves beneath your feet as the stench of romance fills your lungs while the birds sing sweet music in your ears.

Ok—okay, so enough already about love and romance, the gist is how to incorporate those feelings of love, joy, and newness into your life.  Here are my top five things to do each Fall:
  1. I redecorate my home incorporating the colours of fall: burnt orange, golds, and earth tone. It does not have to be the entire home--it could be something as small as door wreath/swag or changing your beddings. The dining room table is my most favourite thing to do. Change the table cloth, napkins, napkin holders, and dishes, and center piece to more fall tonne for a quick refreshing update.                          
  2. Enroll in a new class such as yoga--which is what I am doing this fall---hot yoga is a great fall detoxifier, but will tell you more about it in a separate blog.  Belly dancing is also a great and a fun way to get your groove back on,  or you may enroll in  a language course or anything to keep yourself abreast. 
  3. Treat yourself to at least one new outfit: be it a nice colour-trend coat, a trendy pair of boots, a new scarf or bag whatever it is, so long as it will lift your spirit. After all, you deserve it.   
  4. Personally, my most favorable thing to do is to take a family vacation to the Caribbean--it is quiet and relaxing as the summer crowd heads home.  
  5. Last but not least, are those long evening walks--and even if you don't have a romantic partner right now, take a child or a pet or go solo--but take the time to embrace yourself because love starts with self--so, take those evening strolls to reflect and truly get to know and love yourself.

Finding Balance: 5 Tips to Reduce Stress

By
In today's fast-paced world, achieving a work-life balance is a challenge many face. Juggling work, family, and personal time can often lead to stress, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and burnout. To help navigate these challenges, I've compiled five practical tips that have personally helped me reduce stress and find balance in my daily life. 1. Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated might seem simple, but its impact on stress levels is significant. I remember a particularly hectic week at work where deadlines were looming, and I was running on caffeine and adrenaline. It wasn't until I started feeling dizzy and unfocused that I realized I had barely drank any water. Once I made a conscious effort to hydrate regularly, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my energy levels and overall mood. Tip: Keep a water bottle at your desk and set reminders to drink water throughout the day. 2. Be Kind to Yourself We are often our harshest critics, which can exacerbate stress. During a partic...

Happiness is a Myth

By
What if I told you everything you thought you knew about happiness is wrong? The truth is happiness is a myth and an illusion that is  overrated.   It is like chasing after a butterfly. The more you pursue it, the more it eludes you, and the moment you catch it is the moment it begins to die.  So, from whence came the word happy? According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the first record of the word was around 1350,   from Middle English, "a form of the English language spoken after the Norman conquest (1066) until the late 15th century," which is a derivative of the Old Norse "happ," meaning "luck" or "chance."  It combined "the word hap, meaning "a person's luck or lot," and the suffix –y, meaning "characterized by," to   form diminutive nouns and adjectives denoting a state, condition, or quality.  Then, in essence, when someone says, "I want to be happy," they are really saying that they want someone e...
