The aroma of a new beginning – Muji Aroma Diffuser

September 28, 2016September 29, 2016 Gloria

Sometimes, a zen atmosphere is the only thing I need. Also, I wish for this in the office or on the tube whilst commuting everyday. Fat chance. But I’m happy to enjoy some time of calm and relaxation in my … Continue reading The aroma of a new beginning – Muji Aroma Diffuser

I had a really interesting conversation with a dear friend of mine and came up to the conclusion that I must surround myself by open people. I swear I won’t waste my time and energy anymore dealing with people that can’t listen, that don’t open up, that aren’t kind and that don’t do any type of work on themselves. I won’t stop giving because I don’t want to change that side of myself but I’ll be more selective for sure. This is probably more a reminder post for myself but I’d love to know if anyone else feels the same way. Hope you all had a lovely Sunday xx ♥️ • • • Shot by @emiliechanteloup • • • #selflove #openpeople #awareness #thoughtoftheday #mood #sunday #london #enough
I’m not the engagement queen, I post stuff when I can and when I have something to say. I rarely have the perfect Instagram picture, the right hashtags and the look of my feed is everything but consistent. But still you’re all here. With your on point comments, mind blowing messages and powerful words. I might not know all of you personally however the good vibes I’m receiving from you are real. So this is my THANK YOU for being so amazing, supportive and kind. Never underestimate the power of your actions, even in this little squares space. Love you all ♥️ • • • Shot by @emiliechanteloup • • • #thankyou #grateful #weekend #luckygirl #love #mood
Happy Sunday people! 🌺 I haven’t posted flowers pictures in a long time 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I’m currently waiting for Daphne to wake up from her nap and can’t wait to play with her, squeeze her cheeks and hug her until it’s time for her to head to daddy’s home 🙁. I sometimes still find it hard to accept the hours we’re spending apart although I know this is good for everyone. It means bonding time with daddy and self-care time for me. I wonder if I will ever get used to this routine 🤔. Sending love to you all 😘 • • • #weekend #goodmorning #flowerpower #london #mother #parenting #love #mumanddaughter #singleparenting
Few days ago I had an interesting conversation with a very dear friend of mine. She was genuinely asking if there should be different words to identify different levels of single parenting. For example, when both parents are equally present in the child’s life and supporting each other with daily responsibilities, can this scenario be compared to a single parenting situation where one of the parents is basically absent? Well, I didn’t have an answer for her, maybe we should make a distinction. But I believe that in both cases, behind any possible labels, there are humans trying to make their existence better and they’re choosing the hardest path to do so. They’re facing their fears abandoning the comfort zone of the known. Becoming a parent it’s a big thing, not only because you have the responsibility of keeping another tiny human being alive and provide for her/him. It’s the most crucial event in a life time also because it takes you back to your own childhood and the relationship with your own parents/carers. This is what people doesn’t say enough. This is when the disruptions and bursts happen. This is why I think we should all change the way we see mental health. Understanding our emotions and elaborating our past is essential for ourselves to heal our souls. And healed humans have so much more to offer to the community and to the generations to come. 🙏🏼 • • • #selflove #singleparenting #motherhood #parenting #mentalhealth #itsoknottobeok #london #thoughtoftheday #mood
