" Where children sleep"

"where children sleep"

"James Mollison"

I just love this book!

I believe that if you can afford it you should buy it!

The simpliest way to see the disparate differences in our world !

All my life I had a long last relationship with my perfumes! I am 33 years old and from the time I started wearing perfumes, about 20 years now, I have changed 3 perfumes! As a child I only remember a lemon cologne named MYRTO and then it was a vanilla perfume oil from Body shop:)

First it was Acqua di Gio Pour Homme, from the age of 15years old until 19 years old

Then it was Dolce & Gabbana untill the age of 24! An all time classic

and finally my last long " relationship"...
BLV NOTTE
I just find it amazing...

I believe a woman should stay "faithful" to her perfume! It's part of our style!

Which is your favourite perfume? Do you have a long lasting "relationship" with them?

And some of my favourite songs

Song NO 1

Ναι, πες μου σε όλα ναι,
yes, tell me yes to everything
Όμορφα μάτια μπλε,
beautiful blue eyes
Και θα'ναι η βραδιά κομπλέ
and the night will be complete

Μη, μη το σκεφτείς στιγμή
don't, don't think about it not even a moment
Τέλος οι δισταγμοί
the hesitations are over
Πάμε στην κορυφή....
let's go to the top

Κι αν είσαι θάλασσα
and if you are sea
Εγώ σ' αγκάλιασα
i embraced you
Κι αν είσαι άνεμος
and if you are wind
Εγώ σε κράτησα
i kept you
Κι άμα το αύριο
and if tommorow
Είναι στο χέρι μου
is in my hand
Θα'σαι για πάντοτε
you will be for ever
Το καλοκαίρι μου..
my summer

Τί, πρέπει να κάνω τί,
what, i must do what
Μια κίνηση απλή
a simple move
kάνει το έργο να παιχτεί
makes the play to be performed

Πώς, θες να στο πω αλλιώς
how, do you want to say it differently
Πάμε ολοταχώς
let's go with full speed
Μέχρι να δούμε φως
till we see light

Κι αν είσαι θάλασσα
Εγώ σ' αγκάλιασα
Κι αν είσαι άνεμος
Εγώ σε κράτησα
Κι άμα το αύριο
Είναι στο χέρι μου
Θα'σαι για πάντοτε
Το καλοκαίρι μου
Το καλοκαίρι μου
Το καλοκαίρι μου

Δώσε μου ένα φιλί
give me one kiss
Ό,τι θυμάμαι
whatever i remember
Να το ξεχάσω
to forget
Και τ' όνομά μου μαζί
and along with my name
Και την παλιά μου ζωή
and my old life

Κι αν είσαι θάλασσα......

Song No 2

I'm not leaving
I will stay all night long in front of your door
I will stay all night long at your stairs
I will hug the stars
I will be whispering your name

I'm not leaving
no matter how much you want me to,I'm not leaving
even if winter and rain comes
the soul will be freezing at night
the sun will be burning in the morning

Forever I will stay, if you're asking
forever I will be here for you to look at me
forever,the body is here
the life is here

I will not leave unless we leave together
I'm not leaving
I will stay all night long in fromnt of your door
I will stay to hear you talk
I feel you laughing with friends
but I will be next to you wherever you go.

Forever I will stay, if you're asking
forever I will be here for you to look at me
forever,the body is here
the life is here
I will not leave unless we leave together

Common Cold...

Since Christmas my children have been sick one after the other! They both had Common cold , my son also had inflammation of the hip or otherwise referred to as ymenitis and on the top of thet all four of us had gastroenteritis and now my son has the flu again!So I decided to give some practical advice for an easy recovery from the common cold! Advices that we all know!

antipyretics (for children) for the fever .
Saline for stuffy nose (I prefer the one with the sea water)
A lot of humidity in the room
Cool compresses (when the fever is high)

Vitamin C

Many liquids such as juices (vitamin c), water and hot drinks for sore throats.
Light food such as soups!
More comfortable breath by lifting the mattress of his or her bed!
No heavy clothes. Protect from cold with only the essentials. When they are sweaty make sure to change their underwear.
A warm bath also helps to relax.
Finally a lot of love and hugs!
