Beautiful Rarities to See in Paris France

Beneath the opera house, Palais Garnier, there sits a water tank, and some folks say that once a man lived there who had no face. “The Phantom of the Opera” was based on this place. The inspiration for Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera.

Travel to Bay of the Day Ha Long

Ha Long Bay is situated in north Vietnam round a 120-kilometer-long coastline and is literally translated as “Bay of Descending Dragons”.

Traveling to this bay, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vietnam and features thousands of islands, is a fabulous dream come true!

Each island is topped with thick jungle vegetation, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves, others islands include lakes and some support floating villages of fishermen.

Ranting Friday Night: 10 Things I Hate About The Blogging World!

1. I hate that a blogger follows/subscribes to your blog, you follow him/her back, and then s/he unfollows you, hoping you don’t notice. I really don’t like this.
2. I hate it that you give likes to a blogger, comment on his/her blog, and they never return the favor, not even at least once!
3. I hate it that people unfollow you if your political or religious views or the lack thereof are different from theirs. What? Why? Can we be a little bit mature and respect other people’s views? Thank you very much.
4. I hate it that people want to copy your content to benefit their own website or social media without giving you credit. Geez!
5. I hate it that sometimes I have written almost the whole blog post and uploaded images and pictures and I click the wrong button and the post disappears! Have to start over or use the autosaving that WordPress left for me.
6. I hate trolls. Icky internet trolls that pick on people, write hateful comments and are completely unhelpful.
7. I hate Alexa Traffic Widget It doesn’t matter if your Alexa traffic rank is 1,000 or even 100 when the quality of your blog sucks. I mean, you know that Alexa traffic rank is just a number and it doesn’t reflect the ‘real’ traffic stats.
8. I hate insane publishing frequency, like more than 8 or 10 posts a day?!
9. I hate it when I don’t have enough time to respond to all my subscribers comments on my blog.
10. I hate it when I visit a blog and it has infinite ads and pop-ups. I had a blog like that 2 years ago and it was driving ME crazy, LOL

On a side note, I’m pretty sure that there are some things that you hate about my blog. Criticism is always appreciated (as long as it’s constructive and NOT judgmental in my persona or MY freedom of speech), so do share it as a comment below.

Happy Blogging!

Same Love Different Worlds

Love is the most powerful and wonderful feeling in the whole wide world. When love is truthful and everlasting, the fruit we harvest is juicy, bright, and impeccably marvelous!

The most important thing in the world is family and love.”— John Wooden

We are all different in this world, -and that is exciting- but at the same time we are the same because we, as humans want to love, to be in love, and to be loved.

Some of us have been extremely blessed by love; even though our worlds before we had met each other might had been, well, different, you become one because of love.

Find Beauty in Your Life and Make the Pain Go Away

Find Beauty In The World And Bring It To Your Life!

Beauty already exists everywhere and in everything. Our job is to look for it.

Just be still for a moment and cast aside any distractions. You cannot fully appreciate something if your mind is elsewhere.

You might have to use a bit of imagination to get going, but once you’re there it’s difficult to stop.

Begin to notice your surroundings. Don’t dwell too long on one thing. Just take in your environment and sink further into that state of peace and relaxing.

Inspiration With Laughter: Have A Safe Healthy Anxiety Free Monday!

When times are very difficult, sometimes the solution to make it through the day successfully, is just…laugh.

In these times when the whole world is going through lockdowns and many families through survival mode, we all have to give it a try and laugh, to inspire ourselves and others. Sometimes it might be hard when there is a loss in the family, or work. But we have to try and if we can’t, then look for help.

Passing the crazy gen…best thing EVER!

This is a tough grand-child. A tough grandma’s perfect granddaughter!

hahahaha I love this one!

Beauty On Sunday: Most Enthralling Chandeliers In The World

Chandeliers are used to compose and embellish a space. Some houses have the simplest ones while others have the biggest and also some of the most expensive in the world.

They don’t have to be overwhelming, they can be, but it isn’t a requirement, they have to serve the room, its decoration, only after its mood is set can the piece be put in place. 

Chandeliers for a dining room are the most popular choice because they are a beautiful centerpiece.

The chandelier creates mood for evening meals and provides ample light for projects, especially when it’s controlled by a dimmer switch.

Leave their bulbs exposed or add shades for a tailored look, changing their colors to suit different events and seasons. String garlands through their arms to dress them up for holidays.

Simply Good Morning Afternoon Or Night And Wishing You A Wonderful Weekend!
