Entries by TATIANA

I held on to these shoes (for work) for a looooong time, I finally reluctantly gave up on them after both pairs fell apart.



They are up for grabs to the highest bidder! I know YOU need these on display in your living room.
Now this pair I actually decided to save so I located a cobbler. I think they got some life in them still. Let's see if the cobbler can patch up my bejeweled treasures.



So new year....new shoes. And I also decided to try something new for me and move up a size in height. I have been wearing 7 inch heels for a long time but got a pair of 8 inch heels….and yes it is noticeable and I like it.



See the height difference?



And if you think that is a crazy tall heel, I work with girls that balance on 10 inch heels. Stilts. Almost. And they move around effortlessly and gracefully in them too.

One more food related entry.....Went to the grocery store this evening and saw this amazing display of carrots. Somebody took their time to make this for us shoppers. I stopped, looked at it.....admired the art because to me this is art. Complimented it to the produce guy working. Then I got a strong feeling of gratitude. For the abundance of food at my fingertips. All I have to worry about is getting to the grocery store (and I never had to worry about that either) and once I enter the store there is more food and goods available than I would know what to do with. And in some parts of the world people go hungry. Or walk for miles to find food and water. Where we are born shapes our life in so many ways.
Do you ever stop and look at the variety of goods available at the grocery store.....like is it necessary to pick in between 30 kinds of razors, way too many deodorants, all the different cheeses, yoghurts and everything else that comes in so many varieties?
We are so spoiled. I am beyond grateful for my life, really. I tend to forget this.



Fresh fruits and vegetables.....all kinds.



Upon leaving I decided that I am going to print out the picture I took of the carrots and write the grocery store a thank you note for everything and include the printout of the carrots. A big thank you for everything that is available to me as a consumer and everything the people that work at the grocery store do for me. Like creating a beautiful display of carrots. Thank You.

My latest food habits are as follows.....fresh green beans. I fry them up with a pinch of salt and a LOT of hot chili oil. I love spicy food, great for clearing mucus out of the nose. Healthy.



I recently discovered this juice, an immunity juice full of vitamins. Plus a Vitamin D gel cap for extra boost.



The last two entries have been food related - I feel like Martha Stewart. Need to switch it up with something else. Stay tuned!

Do you take vitamins? I do once in a while in pill form. But I have been drinking these vitamin shots that I get at Trader Joe's for some time now. They come in a few different varieties - C, Turmeric, Ginger and Vitamin D & Zinc. I alternate between them. I like!



So the virus is making rounds. Not sure what to think about this virus that has been occupying our lives since early 2020 now. I can say this....I personally do not know anybody that has died from COVID or with COVID, on the other hand my friend died a short time after taking the J&J vaccine. And yes I think that he would had been alive still had he not taken the J&J vaccine. And yes I know that people have died from COVID as well.

And.....the final pictures from my beach shoot back in October. What a great way to start off 2022, with with pictures of me for several days in a row!

And here are a few more pictures of meeeeee on the beach in October.
So I got this outfit, it's not a bathing suit, not really sure what to call it (lingerie?) so let's go with outfit, from Fredrick's of Hollywood. And I did not manage to put it on the right way for the shoot. It is a bit complicated with many strings and clasps and when you are trying to change on a public beach out of your regular clothes into something else, something that is complicated to put on.....you don't always get it right. The right way to wear looks much cuter, it's actually supposed to come down over one shoulder like super sophisticated and all.
But I had to fasten it in the back back with a hair tie.
I got a black one as well and if I do a shoot in that one I will make sure to figure out how to put it on the right way beforehand.
