Beautiful Sunny Day

Good morning!
Today I woke up to a beautiful and sunny day. It is the most beautiful day we have had in weeks . Finally!
For the last 3 weeks it has been raining a lot and it didn't look like summer at all.

Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.  
I think there's no better way to start your day then with a hot cup of coffee on the sunny terrace.
For me, it is the perfect way to relax .

Wishing you all a wonderful day full of sunshine and smiles.

''Love''

Jewelry made with Swarovski Crystals Elements

When it comes to jewelry, I can talk non-stop.
because you can easily change the look
because you can easily change the look
I just love jewelry, especially made with Swarovski crystals. They're very sparkly, some pieces are really romantic, others are classy and chic.
The right jewelry can pull an outfit together and add a glamorous touch to your outfit. You can easily change your look just by putting a necklace or bracelet on. It is like wearing a piece of art.
I really like how my outfits feel finished when I'm accessorized.


This summer, try to add a glamorous touch to your outfit with the kind of jewelry that will make you instantly stand out in the crowd.

Get inspired, take a look at beautiful crystal jewelry and hair accessories, designed by Susan Scarlett.

This necklace from Swarovski is one of my favorites, beautiful, elegant, perfect for any special occassion.


Indigo Star is a dazzling line of crystal jewelry and hair accessories.
Each Indigo Star piece is designed by Susan Scarlett and lovingly handcrafted in Vancouver, Canada, using sterling silver or 14 karat gold fill and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.
















“I love to create beautiful, inspired jewelry. It’s my wish that each time a woman wears a piece of Indigo Star Jewelry she will feel positively radiant and beautiful, and full of infinite SHINE!”
Indigo Star owner and jewelry designer, Susan Scarlett, was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. 
Her journey as an artist has taken some unexpected twists and turns before bringing her to her current life path. After completing two years of medical school, Susan realized that medicine wasn’t her destiny so she took a leap of faith, only to discover that her true passion was designing and creating sparkly, dazzling jewelry that women would feel empowered and beautiful wearing! Susan made her first mark in the jewelry world in 1999 when she began making handmade crystal hair accessories. She gave them as gifts, and when she received countless compliments and orders for more, she knew she was on to something. It was then that she launched her jewelry design company, and Indigo Star was born. In the beginning, Susan created her simple designs using crystal beads. But her love of silver quickly led her to integrate the precious metal into her handcrafted pieces. She learned how to create and manufacture her own silver jewelry, which quickly advanced her design innovation. Susan developed such a fondness for Swarovski Elements crystals and their sparkling, world class quality; that she found herself incorporating them into all of her designs. So in 2009, when Indigo Star was invited to become a branding partner with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS – The Crystal Elements Brand of Swarovski, she was overjoyed! This amazing partnership ensures that Indigo Star is on the cutting edge of the latest design trends and privy to the season’s newest collection of crystal shapes and colors.

Eat Cherries for Youthful Skin

I like to eat as healthy as possible.  
Cherries are a super fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
I like cherries a lot. 

When I was a little girl, I was spending weekends and holidays in my grandparents house. 
They had a huge garden with many cherry trees. I remember climbing up a tree with my cousin and eating cherries. We'd sit up there for hours and just eat. And then take a break. We stayed up there talking, laughing, it was so relaxing.
Sometimes our parents gave us  a bucket to pick cherries and I remember that we were eating more cherries than we actually picked.
Ahhh, sweet memories! :-) 


Cherries health benefits:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Cherries are high in antioxidants, help reduce the risk of cancer, inflammatory problems, heart disease, promoting healthy skin and brain cells.

1.) Cherries are an excellent source of beta carotene (vitamin A).

2.) They are also a source of zinc, iron, potassium, manganese and good source of copper.

3.) Cherries aiding in brain health and in the prevention of memory loss.

4.) They are great for digestion, weight loss.

5.) Cherries help liver and kidneys to get rid of toxicity which makes them perform better.

6.) Cherries act as a natural painkiller.

7.) Cherries reduce inflammation.

8.) Cancer protection.

9.) Cherries help you sleep, because they contain a substance called melatonin.

10) Anti-Aging. Melatonin found in cherries also slows down the aging process.


More about melatonin:
Cherries are rich in stable antioxidant melatonin. Melatonin is essential for our immune system and it helps maintain a healthy sleeping pattern. Melatonin can cross the blood-brain barrier easily and produces soothing effects on the brain neurons, calming down nervous system irritability, which helps relieve neurosis, insomnia and headache conditions.





Remember: Eating cherries can help ease the pain of arthritis, aid insomnia and other sleep-related disorders. Fresh cherries can provide your body with a high dose of antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radical damage, which is the main cause behind aging.


Quick Tip :
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Cut the cherries in half, apply it into your face (neck) and leave it for about 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Cherries help in removing dead skin cells. Your skin will become shiny and glowing.

How great it feels knowing your favorite fruit has loads of benefits attached.  :-)

Bon Appetit!

This summer be stylish with sun hats by Eugenia Kim




Summer is finally here!
This week was very beautiful in Paris. Hopefully weather will stay that way so that we can enjoy these beautiful days full of sunshine.
As temperatures rise and humidity increases, it's time to start to protect your hair from the sun.
Heat and UV rays from the sun can leave your hair dry, dull and brittle. You need to take precautions to protect it. 

Look for styling products with a built-in sun protection factor (SPF). 
Wear a hat or bandana and put your hair in a twist or braids.
There are many reasons to wear sun hats and both men and women can enjoy the benefits of them. Plus they keep you cool from the sun and look super chic.

Sunglasses an Important Part of Your Summer Wardrobe

Too much sun can increase the number of wrinkles under your eyes. 
It is a known fact that sunlight is a cause of premature aging. 
Overexposure to the sun damages your skin and speeds up aging like nothing else.
This summer, protect your eyes with a stylish pair of shades. Make sure the lenses are dark enough to keep your eyes comfortable. 
The sun’s rays can cause or speed up the progress of several diseases that affect your eyes.  
Wear sunglasses that provide 99-100% UVA and UVB.


As I already mentioned wearing sunglasses prevents you from squinting, which we all know can contribute to wrinkles around the eyes. 

I absolutely love Michael Kors collection for this summer. Everything is just so perfect, bags, watches, clothes, sunglasses.
Michael Kors sunglasses can effortlessly transform any outfit into a sophisticated fashion statement. 
Have fun this summer, add a glamorous touch to your outfit with the kind of sunglasses that will make you instantly stand out in the crowd. 

Always make sure you are wearing sunglasses.
