Many associate black as the colour of mourning and they often relate it to depression, thinking that if somebody is dressed up full in black, that person is probably feeleing blue.

I personally like to wear this colour, I think it always looks elegant. When we combine it with white, the colour of authority and power touches innocence and purity to create the perfect combination that is wearable at any time and at any age.

The black-and-white beauties below are from StyleWe, an online fashion shopping platform that features independent fashion designers from around the world. They help to turn designers’ dreams into reality. The site covers many different and unique stlyes, clothes you won’t find anywhere else. On their website you can search a wide range of exclusive items and who knows, you might find your all-time favourite designer there. I recommend you to browse their amazing floral print dresses and just to „enjoy designers at your fingertips”.

Are you feeling the rain?

"Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet." (Bob Marley)

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

Some people are literally feeling the rain and other changes in weather elements. If for example the temperature, the air pressure or the humidity changes, a weather-sensitive person reacts with varying intensity to these changes. It means the weather can affect a person’s well-being. A few of the symptoms are the lack of concentration, tiredness, sleep disorders, dizziness, headache and migraine. They vary from person to person, one only feels tired, the other needs to take medicine to get through the day. It is said that the intensity of these symptoms increases with age or lower level of fitness. And at the same time, critics say that wheather sensitivity does not exist at all and the affected people just want to blame something else for their unhealthy lifestyle.

But why do some people respond to weather and others don’t? Somebody once told me, that sensitive people should feel lucky because it means that they are still connected with the nature. And it’s true, we are all a part of it.

Many animals can sense changes in weather in advance too. There are many articles that say, they response not only to weather changes but also to natural disasters like earthquakes.

Elephants for example can sense rain up to miles away. But if you are paying attention in your own garden or in the park, you will notice that bees are nowhere before rains which means that they probably feel it. If you are looking at the sky, take a moment and watch the birds. I learned it as a child that if they are flying low in the sky, it will probably rain. 

The question stays. What can you do about weather sensitivity? Some suggest to drink a lot of water, others say to spend more time outdoors in all kinds of weather or they recommend to take hot and cold showers but different oils like lavender might help too.

  Are you feeling the changes in the weather too? What do you do to lower the symptoms? Do you have a „secret” that helps? I’m looking forward to your comments. Have a lovely day.  :)

Lots of love,

Let's make a difference together - Save the Bees

If you are following me on Twitter, you might have seen my retweet from Burt’s Bees. They are running a campaign where every retweet or B-less tweet means 1000 seeds, 1000 wildflowers that are plant in your honor. If you haven’t taken part yet, please visit them and tweet or retweet. Their goal is to plant 1 billion wildflowers to #BringBackTheBees and the campaign is open up to 1.000.000 entries or until 6/30/2016.

Shortly I visited a blogger event where amongst others I met a lovely lady from Just Bee Drinks. I had the opportunity to taste their delicious drinks and I received a little goodie bag with a bee chocolate and some seeds in a cute envelope. If you live in the UK and you fill out the form on their website you can receive some wildflower seeds from them too and all these for free.

After these two companies I started to think about the bees. Is their situation really that bad? I typed „save the bees” in Google and numerous websites were the result. I was surprised, it is really that bad and somehow I didn’t realise it before. Maybe because I come from a little town where there are wildflowers in our yard and our cherry tree is full of buzzing in the spring.

But it’s true, there are less bees and without bees we are less too. If they disappear, about one-third of our food will disappear too. Our bees are dying out and reasons for this are the loss of their natural habitat and of course the chemicals used in the intensive agriculture.

You might ask, what you can do to save the bees. One of the easiest ways to help is to choose to grow flowers and plants in your garden that bees love. As I mentioned it before, you can ask for free seeds on the site of Just Bee Drinks or with just one click on the page of Burt’s Bees, you contribute that they plant more flowers. You also have the opportunity to make a donation, there are several charities whose aim is to save these little creatures.

Let’s get involved. Share with your friends.

I believe that if you make a little difference then together we can make a big difference.

Lots of love,
E
