Maia's Secret



If you fancy getting a bit inspired this morning, this video will totally do the trick. (It really did it for me). It’s an amazing short that captures the secrets of eternal youth of a 95 year old Russian ballerina, Maia Helles. Despite her elderly age, she remains independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. She thinks that her well-being has a lot to do with the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which she perfected, together with her mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were even invented.

Her secret to a long happy life: "simplicity, work and enjoyment". I love that and wish I would be half as fit when I'm her age. Such an inspiration, isn't she? xo

P.S: Yoga in Paris.

Loverlij is a restored farmhouse with a fantastic garden...





...fabulous interiors...






...and the guest rooms are so cosy and romantic.

I really would love to have a week end break in a B&B like this one, where every detail is so curated! I know it's just Monday, but what about a little bit of daydreaming ;) ?

Mirabeau

How has been your Easter week end? I spent Sunday with all the family in a big lunch together! I've eaten a lot and have received too many Easter eggs...I think I will make a cake with all that chocolate!
On Easter Monday in Italy it is tradition to have a picnic with friends, but the weather was horrible: it rained all Sunday night and the morning after it was grey and cloudy. So we stayed at home, relaxing, sleeping, sipping tea and eating chocolate!
I love to look at on-line boutiques and yesterday I discovered Mirabeu, which is a German shop with fantastic forniture!

I've realized this post is quite long, I'm sorry! But I really enjoyed looking at the Mirabeau site and found so many inspirations!
