Paris is beautiful really any season..especially when you are in love...and loving of life...Summertime it is truly special...white summer nights are quite present also, like in St. Petersburg...people wander rather softly, endless casual picnics in the parks....art & photography expositions...entire atmosphere so romantic...but i still love Switz at heart more :)
Truly special townhouses like this are so lovely...and i love life near a park...like near Central Park in New York, or Hyde Park, near Knightsbridge/Belgravia in London...but really my soul thrives more in the country & islands for longer quality time... Fragonard is one of my favorite artists, just so romantic and lovely his paintings, reflecting a lot of mannerism in it, as connective to the Neoclassical movement in Art...
I really want to have extended weeks here this summer..it is one of the most special and beautiful in Europe...and people tend to gather there, that love nature, romance....special cuisine., lovely setting :) i really come alive in certain environments...just completely melt and lose myself to its natural dream...
There is a lovely artistry to something abandoned, pealing, aged...like dried up roses ...still so fragrant, even if a bit worn , they reflect different emotions really....you almost do not want to renovate it...just keep it natural ;) simple...true, echoing the touch of nature in it romance, kindness, but also in its abandon & wearing of it.... a romantic thought .....or maybe just adding flowing sheer drapes that are in relationship and song to the wind, french country style bedding,,...candles positioned romantically.. about...fresh flowers.....dresses on rolling aged iron rack.. .notebooks for poetry.....a laptop ;)music... a kitchen for baguette picnics...does the soul really need much more, most of the time ? ;) eventually i would want to renovate it...but i think i would enjoy it this way also very much....i never want anything completely perfect, or finished to a level where it feels like a museum...it truly needs to have a bit of worness and touches of natural wear, age, nature...to feel organic, lovely, true...comforting :)
A research conducted on traditional medicinal knowledge with regards to rain water by Pankaj Oudhia, states, “The healers prefer the water from first rains, but in case of poor collection, they collect water from subsequent rains. For collection of rain water, they prefer Tamra Patra (Copper vessels). The traditional healers in interior regions having not enough purchasing capacity to buy Tamra Patra, use earthen pots (Ghada) to collect rain water.
For me the beauty of life is often in the moments in enjoying art, music, nature, literature, and being in this dream like, creative state, absorbing, observing, and just lovingly being in my environment, especially in places i love, like Switzerland..I feel this creates such a lovely sensory experience in emotions, heart's journey, dreams, and then the memories...:).that last forever...
i actually really love Jackie...as she was a truly lady..still had a mind, but demure. she was also Fluent in French, loving to always learn in the Arts, and other studies, and lived part time in Paris at different intervals in her life...A true lady i feel is always evolving, flourishing, and definitely learning academically and being sensitive and worldly culturally..I think she was the spiritual heart of the family really...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, according to the well-known saying. Yet it is only in the present day that our eyes need to make some effort to find beauty in so many faces. When it comes to women of the past, their appearance was unquestionably pure. One can be sure — this beauty is as real as it gets. We at Bright Side are devoted fans of the natural look — and want you to see this gallery of women from the era of no Botox, no plastic surgery, and no eye patches.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. In addition to his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.
I have never really needed makeup...i feel natural beauty is at times more rare..it speaks for itself..my skin flushes pink on its own, as do my lips...and one day i truly noticed the unique dove shape to my eyes....i look pretty from dark espresso blonde to very light...my face tends to puff up when i am really happy and excited or sensual in life...especially lips and eyes :).what's funny Kaori, also has these special pretty dove eyes also..:) I really enjoy being very natural overall, as the sensitivities and sensations of how my skin comes alive in natural rose essential oil, or other, or natural fibers, or sensual healing spa treatments,..or laying in a sweltering fragrant jungle and feeling my senses calm and excite simultaneously...isn't life most delightful in this emotional, sensory, and mental abandon, and also flourishing...:) These moments for me excite me more so than most of anything else in life...i really enjoy occupying my mind and senses with creativity, learning, sensuality...organic cooking, play...within . this environment i am tranquil, excited, alive...:) I feel it is really involving and connecting to simple but nurturing activities in the right environments that nourish. Many people of all kinds , from Europeans, American, African, Asian, (in no particular order) etc... lives weeks and months in Seychelles for instance, and still study, evolve, manage companies , etc :) Once upon a time,,learning was more like this for some, still a voyage, travels, living abroad, but still connected to culture, literature, languages, films, art, etc...:) We only truly have one lifetime, for as far as we know it, and I think better to make it a very lovely, emotionally and mentally fulfilling one ..:)
i think one of the best ways of truly acclimating to island life in the sensory and alive way, is to do things in the natural environment...from swimming, hiking, meditating...and open bale massages are truly so wonderful, as your senses nourish from the rolling ocean waves, the summery weather, the fragrant scents :);)
i think extended weeks of Safari in Africa in the year also very special..my theory is that we are more likely not to be satisfied when we just do not live life, vibrantly, sensually and in natural environment and trips and travels that we love...when there is really a lovely life designed, in environments and experiences that inspire and nourish the senses, desires, appetite, so much natural happiness just flows naturally and constantly :)
