Have you ever thought that designers actually shape our everyday life, that they are constantly present in our lives? Our smartphones, watches, glasses, jewelry - someone created them and took care of every detail, and then they turned our gadgets into something indispensable. The interior of our car, our shoes, clothes, chairs and tables - practically everything we own and use has been lovingly designed and made by someone.
Spring is the season when we clean. We clean our closets, clean our home, clean our surroundings, maybe even clean our thoughts and spirit.
Let me say it right away: I love London! For me, it is a city of countless opportunities, fascinating pulses of different cultures, a powerful history with a touch of aristocracy, a city of friendly people, red double-decker buses, museums and galleries, literature that I long for, divine restaurants, a city of music and fashion. It's got everything I want, it's got everything I'm looking for.
Let me first wish you a Happy New Year (you know, it's never too late or better late than never). Let the new year be a new beginning, even if we realize at the same time that we will not fulfill everything we promised ourselves.
How I want snowflakes for Christmas. That would be so fabulous! And although this was the norm a few years ago, today it is not only an exception, but science fiction. It will snow before and after the holidays, it will snow for Easter and even for May Day, but it won't snow for Christmas. But I won't give up. Christmas is known for miracles.
"Sleep is better than brandy," says old folk wisdom, and experts do not dispute it. A person should thus need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. And just 14 days with six hours of sleep should be enough for our body to start to feel as if we had 0.1 ppm of alcohol in our blood (source: AsapSCIENCE).
What is home? The SSKJ defines it as a place, a house, where someone permanently lives, where they come from. But home is much more.
It's September. Time for new beginnings. For me personally, even earlier than some January. Why? Summer is over (well, maybe the temperatures at the time of the creation of the editorial really still persist in the sweet thirties). And when the summer is over, when the brown tan acquired on the beaches of the world fades, that's when I know it's for real. That there are no longer so few extended weekends, that there are no collective vacations, that there is no more "I would work from home today", that there is no more time off from the printed edition of our media, that it is necessary to think fresh and implement ideas, but not them just store it somewhere in the back of your head (or wherever it's actually stored).
A healthy mind in a healthy body. It's nothing new and it's no surprise that we deal with stress much better when our bodies are in good shape. The problem is that (too) often we don't give ourselves what we really need, whether it's sleep, food or time for ourselves, which is really the time when we dedicate ourselves to ourselves and recovering from a busy schedule.
Have you ever wondered why June is so damn sweet? And not just sweet in the sense that we treat ourselves to the best ice cream in town with maximum sweetness and it still flows...
A few days ago I drove through Vrhnika. As a passenger, I do not have a driving test. ("Say whaaaat?!"). By the way, I don't really feel deprived, I use a bike and a "pedHonda" or, better put, my two legs.
We have seen sunny days when the sun is pleasantly warm and we finally don't need hats, scarves or gloves anymore. These are the days when, despite spring fatigue, we are drawn to the sun, because it is not too hot yet. We usually already have a script for the first picnic and the first "photo shoot" on a park bench. So we have no shortage of ideas on how to spend your free time. This is the charm of spring.
