How to avoid Christmas depression

Hello dear friends! How are you?

Christmas is coming and i'm really excited!

For me Christmas is always the most wonderful time of the year, but unfortunately not everyone is feeling like this.

Christmas is all about beautiful moments with friends and family, but when you're single or if you even study/work away of your home, Holidays look really ugly and you feel even more lonelyness.

So here are some beautiful ways to have joyful Holidays, avoiding Christmas depression.

Hello dear friends! How are you?

Here i am today with a lovely recipe, as promised here.

This is one of my favorite autumn smoothies as it's full of energy and proteins, it's pretty yummy, it's skinny-low fat and it's full of vitamins to keep the flu away.

It's also a great snack for children, as they're gonna love the color and the taste.

Hello dear friends! How are you?

As promised here, those little things that make me happy are back again, and it's the best way to cheer Monday up!

Autumn coffee tables - Insta pics

Hello dear friends! How are you?

We are exactly in the heart of autumn. The time for coffees, teas and wonderful coffee tables.

So i was looking at my insta profile when i realize that my love about teas and coffees started being obvious, as i've so many pics about.

Bellow you can find some of those autumn coffee tables (or maybe blankets) that make me happy.

This is how my coffee table currently looks like.

Bookporn - what i read on summertime

Αυτό είναι το πρώτο ποστ μου στα Ελληνικά, αλλά ίσως όχι και το τελευταίο.

Εδώ σας έχω κάποια απο τα βιβλία που καταβρόχθισα κατά τη διάρκεια του καλοκαιριού.

Τα βάζω με τη σειρά που μου άρεσαν περισσότερο και ας μην χάνουμε άλλο χρόνο σε εισαγωγές.

So...

1) Βασικά δεν ξέρω τι να πω για αυτό το βιβλίο. Είναι σαν την ΙΟΝ, η πρώτη σου αγάπη και μοναδική.

Με αυτό το βιβλίο έκανα την έναρξη μου σε αυτό το μαγικό κόσμο και νιώθω πραγματικά πολύ τυχερή γι'αυτό. Το είχα πρωτοδιαβάσει λοιπόν πριν 10 περίπου χρόνια και ίσως είναι το μόνο βιβλίο που ξαναπιάνω στα χέρια μου. Συνήθως δεν μου αρέσει να τα ξαναδιαβάζω, αλλά εδώ μιλάμε για British Classics με την καλή έννοια φυσικά.

Αν ο τίτλος του είναι "το ακριβό φαρμάκι", εγω λέω οτι είναι το ακριβό διαμάντι της βιβλιοθήκης μου.

Hello dear friends! How are you?

Hope you have a wonderful summer time!

Here in Greece, summer is really hot and i'm always looking for a special refreshing tea, besides the usual lemon, green and peach.

So last week i had a briliant idea that i would like to share with you.

Even from my childhood, licorice candies, were my favorites. They have a very different taste in contrast with every other candy. Recently i also learned about the health benefits of licorice, so what's best than an ice tea with mint and licorice for those hot days?

What you'll need:

1,5 littre of water

3 bags of mint tea

5 slices of licorice root (not candies)

Then you just have to boil them for about 3 minutes. Clear the tea from the bags and roots. And finally freeze it as more as better.

Serve in a high glass with many ice cubes.

Et voila! The absolut summer refreshment.

Cheers!

Cactus trend alert

Cactus for me is the beggining of summertime.

Every spring i redecorate the whole home trying to make it look more summery, so cactus have always been my good friends who give an exotic green essense and the only plants that i can keep alive.

This summer, cactus are not going to stay just in my living room, but also in my wardrobe, as it's pretty obvious that cactus is a huge summer trend.

Here is an inspiring collage i made for you with some of my favorite cactus pieces.

So if your vacations are too late, keep calm, buy cactus and feel the summer vibes around you.

What more to say about that place?

TOMS flagship store

Well most of you probably have at least a pair of TOM'S shoes.

The californian brand, known for it's comfy espadrilles and it's philantropic work, has arrived to Thessaloniki with a unique concept store, that combines shopping and coffee.

We couldn't miss it, so here we are drinking the first coffee ever, which offers 140 litters of safe water to a person in need.

TOMS Flagship store is a wonderful place, combining modern and folklore aesthetics, new vintage furniture and traditional carpets, which make you feel like home.

Except of your favorite espadrilles, you can also find sunglasses and bags, which are the new TOMS entry.

Don't miss to try the Verve juices, the Mastiqua water and the fresh sweets.

So now you know where you are going to spend your first day off, and which are going to be your next shoes, glasses and bags, cause you always have to keep in mind the one for one that TOMS provide.

Mini trip basics

Hello dear friends! How are you?

Last weekend i had a mini trip with some friends.

We are lucky enough to live in a country with a wonderful sea, so those mini trips are very usual.

What i hate most is packaging, so these are my trips basics that i never forget.

1) A pair of comfy sandals
2) A soap bar. Who needs shampoo and shower gel, when you can have a Bee Bird Soap tiny bar with different soaps for hair, body and face?!
3) A couple of books. There is always time for a good read. Especially during sun bathing.
4) A colorful SMJ necklace. It's going to convert the simplest outfit.
5) Your camera for capturing beautiful pics.
6) A Dreamer notebook. Cause i can't live without a notebook around me. After all, trips is the best inspiration
