#793 Sabbatical...


This won’t be like every other blog post about travel. Instead, this is about you and the chance of recharging yourself. Rather than sitting on a beach and Instagramming about it. This is about blowing your life up, analyzing each piece, and then putting it back together again... Are you ready? 

It’s about leaving your life behind, yes, but intending to come back to it after some time away. This is a post about going on a sabbatical and how they are becoming a linchpin of the wandering career path for those privileged enough to be able to take them. 

The sabbatical, typically the realm of academics and over-worked executives, is becoming mainstream. Yes, that means you are on that list, or at least, it’s becoming easier and a more realistic possibility. Episodic careers, nomad-friendly jobs, an increasingly accessible travel infrastructure, has made the long-term career break increasingly common. Companies like Google, Adobe, and McDonald's offer a month-long sabbatical to longtime employees... honestly!!  

So, if you’re daydreaming about packing your bags and heading anywhere to reflect and recharge: You’re not alone and you’re not crazy and it is possible...

#693 Bliss...


Sometimes things are closed
Like windows on an empty street
Not this time though
First drink, the glow, the heat..
A piece of morning sun
Swallowed with a grin
Shooting sparks within
Shower everyone
Bliss
Up to the skylight
These walls are warm again
Out of my right mind
This feeling
Old absent friend
A piece of morning sun..

#447 I always get what I want with Tableau Vivant, Glam Affair, Zerkalo, K-Band, Fri. and Revival



“You can’t always get what you want . . .” The Rolling Stones has been singing this praise for as long as I can remember.
This decade old song, addresses a universal truth. Here’s the rest of the refrain:

You get what you need.
You can't always get what you want . . .
But if you try sometimes
You just might find..

So tell me what is it that you really wanted and didn't get?
The affections of a person who was with someone else? Like that dream job?
 The last cinnamon bagel snapped up by the customer in front of you?
These scenarios range from trivial to potentially life-changing, but they all have one thing in common: see below.

1) Heightened attention.- When something is hard to get (or forbidden) you immediately pay more attention to it. Notice that when you are on a diet, you sometimes get too focused on what you 'can't eat. This heightened attention can escalate into obsession. It makes the forbidden food seem very important. Your inner brat takes advantage of this and tries to convince you that you MUST have that chocolate and or pizza.

2. Perceived scarcity: When something is scarce or in short supply, its perceived value increases. You want it more because you think other people also want it. If you’ve ever bid at auctions or on eBay, you know the experience of that last-minute excitement as you watch the bids spiral upward. The more people who bid, the more you’re willing to pay for the item. Your inner brat wants it at any price.

3. Psychological Reactance: People don’t like to be told they can’t have or can’t do something. It’s related to not wanting to be controlled by others, especially if the situation feels unfair or arbitrary. Your reaction is both emotional and behavioural. The emotional part is your inner brat saying, “Oh yeah? I can’t have what I want? Just try and stop me!”
The behavioral component is what you do about it, which usually involves some type of rebellious reaction. You see this with teenagers whose parents have forbidden them to date certain people. This also explains why a “Wet Paint” sign always invites unwanted fingerprints on the newly painted surface. Correct?

Next time you don’t get what you want, ask yourself whether one of the above factors has influenced your desire. If so, let go of the pursuit. Your inner brat won’t be happy, but ultimately (in the words of the Rolling Stones,) you “might just find [that] you get what you need.” So in the spirit of getting what you want and what you need, The Shiny Shabby Event opened its 'May' round on the 20th of this month and there is so much available for you all to see. After pushing and shoving people out of the way to see the awesome stores, (only kidding), I have so many blog posts to share with you.

Wearing the stunning new delights from Glam Affair and Tableau Vivant with their new releases just for you at Shiny Shabby, not to mention the gorgeous works of K-Band, Fri. and Revival and of course my favorite the creative Zerkalo with their Love Nest works with more of this to come.

#442 Drifting Away with Purple Moon and Revival


Do you ever sometimes just stare into space and someone says to you "Hellooo" are you there? waving their hands frantically in front of your face? I know this may sound rude, but sometimes I just drift away for no reason at all, and I wonder sometimes where I have gone. I'm not that tired and I am interested in their conversation, but sometimes feel myself just wander away to a different place and time thinking of all the things I need to do. You wouldn't think this would happen so much these days with the Iphone and the Ipad at the ever ready position.

I used to tend to daydream a lot when studying. As soon as I got the books out to study, I was prepped and focused, but off went my mind when I looked out the window. Away Mischa would go... It is funny to see people daydream as it doesn't happen allot.When there is technology so handy at our ever reach, we all seem to be with our heads in our hands and it is not daydreaming we are doing, just texting our mates and catching onto every word.

From experience, I can say sometimes that wonderful things can happen when you're sitting at a bus stop with nothing else to look at, you damn forget the bus as it drifts past. Am I the only one that daydreams anymore?

A couple of destinations you can't drift away from is that of the event On9 which is on right now and of course the fabulous destination 6th Republic Event at Black Veil.

So what are you waiting for, come take a walk to our destinations for today: -

#436 The Perpetual Sleep with Zerkalo, and Sari Sari



Unlike some of my SL friends, I am such a morning riser. They hate it!!. I love staying up late except I can't unless it is for weekends as I am up and out of there by 5am each morning during the week. I have to for work otherwise I wouldn't have a job. Weekends though I am purely a sloth, but during the week I love my perpetual sleep.  When I read the posts on facebook and hear about people still awake at 4am, and think yikes don't you need to sleep? I giggle at my friends that snore on Skype and think 'Night Night', wishing I could tape their snoring, and they say they don't snore!!

Falling asleep may seem like an impossible dream when no matter what you try to do you are still awake at 4 a.m, no matter how hard you try to sleep you are tossing and turning and dammit get up cause you cant sleep. Good sleep is more under your control than you might think. Following healthy sleep habits can make the difference between restlessness and restful slumber. Researchers have identified a variety of practices and habits known as “sleep hygiene" that can help anyone maximize the hours they spend sleeping, even those whose sleep is affected by insomnia, jet lag, or shift work. Sleep hygiene may sound unimaginative, but it just may be the best way to get the sleep you need in this 24/7 age. 

Here are some simple tips for making the sleep of your dreams a nightly reality:

1) Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol (all the good stuff), Nicotine and other chemicals that interfere with sleep. Caffeinated products decrease a person’s quality of sleep. As any coffee lover knows, Caffeine is a stimulant that can keep you awake. So avoid caffeine (found in coffee, tea, chocolate, cola, and some pain relievers) for four to six hours before bedtime. Similarly, smokers should refrain from using tobacco products too close to bedtime.

2) Turn your bedroom into a sleep inducing environment.
A quiet, dark, and cool environment can help promote sound slumber. Why do you think bats congregate in caves for their daytime sleep? To achieve such an environment, lower the volume of outside noise with earplugs or a "white noise" appliance. Use heavy curtains, blackout shades, or an eye mask to block light, a powerful cue that tells the brain that it's time to wake up. Keep the temperature comfortably cool—between 60 and 75°F—and the room well ventilated. 

3) Apart from the obvious have regular sleep patterns
If you regularly go to bed around the same time your body clock will kick in and the infamous "Yawn" will start and it is your body saying (Hellloooo) I'm tired. Having regular sleep patterns will also help reduce and maintain weight if this is a concern.

If all else fails and the above still doesn't work, then maybe you should visit a sleep specialist. They do free consultations, and it could be something more serious. Alternatively, look at your mattress, clean sheets and new pillow will also help better sleep.

#380 Suppertime consists of Storytelling and Cake


For my no '380' blog post I would like to thank the amazing creators and designs that I used for this post. The idea behind this post reminded me of the good ole days and I'm not that old!

I believe we are in desperate times, people and desperate times call for desperate measures. So it is with great verve and energy that I issue a battle cry for action.

It is time we took back what is rightfully ours, families of the world. It is time we re-claimed our rights to that all-important evening hour- a time once known as supper, which held the power in its reach to gather together people from diverse activities and places and in so doing, press the pause button on whatever other all-important, pressing concerns might have been going on at the time.
It’s time we got our supper hour back.

Thankyou to Apple Fall for giving me this idea with their splendid double tier and strawberry on top cake that is available now as a Gacha item. We need to come home. Who cares about our diets, who cares about cholesterol,  It is time to snuggle up, grab a good book and wait for that once fabulous meal time called Suppertime.
