I want to write about my journey . Skip all the parts that you find boring and read what you feel you can relate to. I won’t be offended, hahaha. I was brought up in a traditional Greek family. I spent my early years in Greece and then my teenage years and most of myContinue reading “my journey towards “Minimalism””

Definition of Brain Health: The state of brain functioning across cognitive, sensory, social-emotional, behavioural and motor domains, allowing a person to realize their full potential over the life course, irrespective of the presence or absence of disorders – WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION I am in aweContinue reading “Brain Health”

Your Pinterest space.

Don’t you love all those pictures of perfect rooms on Pinterest… Just perfect. Everything in its place. Neat and tidy. Colour coded. That would be my perfect world. I describe such places as PINTERESTY. I find myself wondering how these superhuman people do it. They have the most amazing storage ideas and everything is labelledContinue reading “Your Pinterest space.”

My new Venture…

Did you know that Professional Organising and Decluttering is a THING? I was first introduced to this concept when I came across The Japanese queen of decluttering, Marie Kondo. I was so impressed by her and the way she expressed her love for organising and I realised that I had a natural tendency for organisationContinue reading “My new Venture…”

Third time lucky.

This may be a bit of a boring post for most but it’s basically a blog about a conversation with myself… I guess I get inspired by my own blogs lol. I go back and read them and I get courage from the fact that I am still around and still happy, despite all thatContinue reading “Third time lucky.”

My cleaning days are over…

There is something very intimate about cleaning someone’s house. It allows one access to the raw, uncut, unedited version of people and it is incredible. I have had the privilege of cleaning the homes of a few people over the last year or so and a few of them have become friends. Perhaps it’s theContinue reading “My cleaning days are over…”

Woman… woe-man… whoah, man! so I married an axe murderer

I came across this passage when doing some research “In many societies, even as women have entered the labour force, they have also retained primary responsibility for unpaid work such as care-giving and household chores,” the Gender Gap report states. This was a report from 2017. So much has happened since then but I canContinue reading “Woman… woe-man… whoah, man! so I married an axe murderer”

Happiness Starts at Home

I have started so many Blogs over the past few weeks but I just can’t seem to finish any of them. I trail off and go on a tangent and it doesn’t flow and makes little or no sense at all. Why is that? Well, I guess it’s a true reflection of what I feelContinue reading “Happiness Starts at Home”

Things Can Only Get “Feta”

Picture it: Hoylake, 2020. A Greek, South African lady, with her 2 boys and gorgeous husband has recently discovered that she cannot seem to find Feta cheese in the UK. Let me rephrase that. I cannot seem to find Feta cheese that I like. It would seem that 95% of Feta cheese in the UKContinue reading “Things Can Only Get “Feta””

Émigration immigration … same same, but different!

Growing up in 2 different countries allowed me to experience 2 cultures but at the same time I somehow missed out on the foundation of the English language. I constantly confuse words like where and were, past and passed, there and their and many more. When people asked me if I was a Miss orContinue reading “Émigration immigration … same same, but different!”
