Life is now!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

Inspiration is a word that resonates with me at the moment. That what you do- makes you inspired. That people you surround yourself with, inspire you. To make you want to be the best that you can be: as a parent, family member, friend, colleague & entrepreneur. I think we all want inspiration and to feel inspired! I have many people in my life that inspire me; my husband, father, brother, a friend in Edinburgh and my career coach. The one thing they actually have in common is that they inspire me! They encourage me, give me great advice and listen. I’m also incredibly inspired by the new (to me!) world of blogging and all that comes with it. The drive some individuals have! Incredible- it’s very, very inspirational. Today I encourage you to inspire someone. You know you can and that it makes perfect sense!!! I recommend.

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening to you all.

How is the photo challenge going? Have you managed to clear anything up? I know for a lot of us this is a daunting task, but imagine how good you will feel once you’ve completed this?!

I’d like to remind you, that it truly is the small things in life that we do that will make a difference in your life and make you feel good. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Life is great- and fragile so why not chose and decide to make the most of it. That is one of the reasons I decided to start this blog. I really want to motivate you, challenge you a little but most of all inspire. I will list regular challenges here; such as with the postcards the other week. Do you know that I got a lot of thank yous from the people who received them. I love it. Such a small thing really to do. And then this week, the challenge is to do something for you! I’m sure some of you will stumble upon an old photo that will put a big smile on your face. Come on I challenge you to do this- you know it makes sense!!!

There are many cute cities and towns in Denmark. One of them only 15 minutes from Copenhagen is Lyngby. It is a very picturesque place often full of pedestrians. There is a Main Street full of shops. There is also a bigger shopping centre and Magasin du Nord. You can also visit a great furniture shop Ilva- a good complement to IKEA!

If you want to explore areas outside of Copenhagen, I truly recommend a visit to Lyngby where you can stroll around, window shop and shop and sit down and have something nice to eat when you start to get that little bit peckish!

Dr Max Huber is the physicist who invented the range of La Mer products. He suffered an accident in his lab and started his quest in finding a healing potion. This all started back in the 1950s in California. La Mer products are a part of the Estee Lauder family. I had no idea?! I do know that a lot of the beauty products are owning different brands ranging from low to high end products. According to the website:

La Mer

It took Dr Max Huber 12 years and 6,000 number of experiments before he actually found the secret of the sea- where the name also originates from. This also shows strength and commitment and sends a message to us all not to give up if you truly believe in what you do! I would love for these products to move in with me this autumn! I recommend.

You can now also find these products at Boozt.

This week I challenge you to organise your pictures. I’m sure you, like I do, have many, many pictures stored on your computer (and in the cloud!)

1. Make sure you have folders on your computer and that the naming convention makes sense

2. Check where you have all your photos and start saving them into one place

3. Start syncing and sorting all your photos

4. Start using a photo management tool

5. Use DropBox- it’s one of my favourites!

6. Think about how you want to share your photos

7. Go through them diligently- which one do you want to save? Delete old photos you no longer like and duplicated photos. Then start saving them down in the right folders

8. Save favourite pictures in a Favourite folder. Change some of them into canvases using TouchNote, or save pictures in a book. Photos are also excellent gifts! Another way to make someone happy.

You know once you’ve gone through all your pictures and decided which ones to keep where- you will feel great and organised! Do it- you know it makes sense!
