Hi all! Elsa Schiaparelli's Private Album is a "coffee table book." I don't really know what a "coffee table book" is, but i think this one counts as that. I don't have an actual coffee table and i don't have a proper bookshelf either. Most of my books are resting on the wide window sill. I have at least 2 windows I don't use because it's not practical, one in each room. I mentioned this book briefly on my blog, in the My Crafting Book Collection post. I learned about Elsa from the book in the lower-left corner in the picture above. I became intrigued by her creations because they were wild for...
Short films are sometimes under-rated: almost nobody pays attention to them, but sometimes they can surely pack a punch. "Toyland" (2015) This is a short film by Jochen Alexander Freydank, and is spoken in German. You can watch it at this Youtube link. There are English subtitbles, if you don't speak German. Spoilers ahead! Around the World War II, a Jewish boy, David, and a German boy, Friedrich, are friends and learn how to play the piano together. One day, Friedrich sees David's mother upset and asks his own why. She says that his friend's family will have to leave soon to "Toyland." Friedrich...
Hello Everyone! Long time no see, huh? It's time to drink tea again! This time, we'll be tasting the Lemon Black Tea by Lord Nelson. This is not a sponsored post, and it was my mother who gave me the tea. So that's what the box looks like. And on one of its sides, we can see the LIDL logo. I don't have LIDL next to my place, so I don't shop there, and I can't remember seeing this brand of tea in other supermarkets. I'll go ahead and assume it's a LIDL brand -feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. The tea is already packaged in 20 small pyramid bags - apparently, this is better for flavor diffusion....
Hi all!! Despite coloring being generally considered a children’s activity, more and more coloring books are printed these days and they target adults. These books are usually called “Art for Mindfulness” or “Mandalas for Mindfulness” and they’re a perfect way to relax at the end of a stressful day, especially for those who dislike watching TV and prefer a more rewarding activity instead. Opinions on the book I got one of these books too, as a Christmas present - I really wanted one. My motive was to have another way to explore my creativity and to express myself, other than writing or cooking....
Hello, world! Today is the day I post another book review. A recent book I read is called Angels and is written by Marian Keyes. ... And let me tell you from the start that this title couldn't be more misleading. Click-bait much? I'm so unhappy with this book, I don't even know what to start with. Spoilers ahead? Yeah.. spoilers. The story is told from Maggie's point of view, making her the main character. She and her husband Garv live in Ireland, and despite being married for some time now, she's not as happy as she's like to be. One evening she discovers by accident that Garv has an affair, and...
Hello world! Today i want to talk about one of the silliest horror movies I could possibly watch. One of Anna's friends found it on Netflix. The movie s called Aaviri and this seems to mean Steam in Telugu. You can read more about it on its Wikipedia page. I hope you can remember i like watching movies in other languages than English, so this one looked promising. From the title of this entry, you already know this movie dates back to 2019. The image below is the theatrical release poster. Unfortunately, I can't speak too much about the movie without spoiling it. Therefore, there are spoilers right...
Hey everyone! Today it's time we look at another tarot card interpretation. This time, it's the Three of Cups from the now-familiar Shadowscapes Tarot deck. I don't know what else to say as an intro, so I'll jump into things. Lire ceci en francais, ici! What do we see? The first thing we see is the main color of the card, blue. There is another color or mix of 2 colors that stand out: green or green/yellow. The next things we see on this card are the 3 mermaids, each holding a cup. One or two of them appear to be pouring a liquid from their cups into the cup of the 3rd mermaid. We can only see...
