Loving Kawaii :)

Hi there!!!

How are you feeling today???I´m great, I have started my vacations (YUPIIIIII). I don´t have class for a month. I´m gonna miss my classmates. But, hello free-time!!!I´m back!!! You should see my relaxed and happy face right now.

Today I was thinking that I wanna learn more about Kawaii. Do you know what is Kawaii?? The word is an adjective in japanese that means cute, pretty, lovely. So cool!!!isn´t it??  It´s a really cute art. Funny faces, fruits with smiles or cakes with adorable eyes and nice messages. It´s a very popular phenomenon. Colorful illustrations, full of rainbows and happiness. I LOVE IT!!!

The following artists inspire me. Their work is incredible, and they get something really important, make people smile. The shapes, the little details, everything is so sweet!!

Clémentine Dérodit is a french graphic designer and illustrator. Her porfolio is amazing and cute, of course. I´ve discovered her work this morning, and I have to say that´s is a really great work. If you are curious about what I´m talking about, check her web site, and then, tell me what do you think :)

Tokidoki was created by an italian artist called Simone Legno and his partners (Pooneh Mohajer ans Ivan Arnorld) in 2005. My favourite one is Donutella, the sweet girl dressed up like a doughnut!!! If you wanna know more about her, check it out: Donutella (Tokidoki)

Sunday

Hello :) How is your weekend going?

Mine is great, this morning I did a few things, and I want to show you. DIY (Do it yourself) is my new thing!! Crafts are in right now, and I have to admit...I´m addicted. 

I started decorating my table with washi-tapes, then my notebook, even a plug (my mum was like...what´s are you doing?) and now I love DIY Blogs, and I´m learning new decoration tricks, so cool. A cute and "easy" hobby: with an empty jar, you can get a little and lovely vase. Just need time, relax and creativity. Great, right?

In August I don´t have class, I will be free to decorate and enjoy all my materials! Yupi!!!!Inspiration come to me then!!!

My little advice: just enjoy and redecorate your life. A Recycled jar, your own paper-bag for a present, open your mind, listen nice music, and be ready to have fun and have a break in our stressful life!! No rules, just the power of imagination.

I just tried this three things today, the "little flags" (for my next party, for example), Lissy´s crown :), and with two of my favorites washi-tapes I did the jar for candles. I will do more this week, keep an eye on my blog :)

I´ve been listening today Norah Jones, I love her naïve and beautiful voice. My favorites songs are Cold,cold heart,Shoot the moon, Come away with me, and Turn me on. 

What do you think? Perfect soundtrack for the end of the day, with a glass of white wine, isn´t it?

Enjoy this beautiful evening, have a nice week and smile.

Love, Lunarcita.

A brand new me

Hallo!!!

Sometimes we need to reset ourselves, change something that make us feel like every day is the same, we are the same since forever, going to the same places, wearing the same T-shirt, listening the same cd...Just do it!! Change something in your life and feel like a brand new.

I feel relief changing my look for example (cutting my hair was amazing, made me feel like a butterfly´s metamorphosis). Changes are good. Don´t be afraid.

I´m turning twenty eight next month, and I love the number!!!I know that we have to move on, we can´t stop and see what happen around us, without trying to do our best. Maybe I haven´t found my way yet, but I´m sure It´s gonna happen soon, really (sparkling-eyes-and-dreaming-smile in my face).

So I started to learn a new language: Hello German!!!!I´ve lived in Holland for a while so I was used to hear dutch, and I though: "come one, give German a shot, It can´t be so complicated...You had learnt a little bit of dutch...." BUT no, It´s super difficult, but I love it. Now I have something to get better, something to improve, make a huge effort, and then...I will feel fantastic and I will have another language in my bagage. Sounds great, Isn´t it?

I need to re-new my hope in my life. Hope is the key to be a better person, to be a better proffesional. To be happy. And, Who doesn´t want to be smiling or having fun in life?

Don´t forget the power of faith. Mind is powerful too. So tell to yourself "I can do it" and you will. Sometimes I need "this litte push" to face the situation and try to control the disaster, but I´m growing up, life is about that, make mistakes and learn a new thing every day. So, according to that, that´s what I´m trying to do. Learn. Because learn is fun, is grateful and is amazing.

Lunarcita is still little, but she needs to open her wings and fly away and discover what wonderful things can happen and what could happen if she flies far away. She has to discover it by herself.

You are not too old or too young to learn. And that´s beautiful. It´s impossible to get bored then. Let´s do it!!Let´s face our fears and fight against them and let´s win. And learn about it.

Don´t close your window, open it and birds will sing for you every morning a new song, Sun will bring you light and Moon will let you dream. The point is we need to recycle. And like I´ve said a lot today, learn.

Love, Lunarcita

Things that make me happy

Happy tuesday!!!!How are you doing this week??

Money doesn´t give happiness, or that´s what we have to believe to continue our lifes, right? :) Just kidding. There are a lot of little things, daily moments, that make us feel on the top. What are your favorite things? What comes to your mind If I ask you what things/moments/feelings make you smile?

I love colors. Pink, red, blue, green, black....All of them, mix them, have new ones....And I love coloful things, colorful clothes, I adore PINK. It represents part of me: my childhood. I´m a childish adult, with a child taste and I´m a very grown up girl.Trust me :)

The sun shinning in my face.

How relaxing is the sound of the waves, lay down in the beach, with a jumper, at the end of the afternoon. No bubble thoughts, just the sound of the sea. The bittersweet waves, I mean, Sea can be brave, very brave, but then it´s nothing, and a second after it´s a sweet melody in your head.

A good morning kiss.That fix everything.

The sunset, drinking a glass of white wine with your lovelife in your side. And If It´s in front of the sea, better.

Feeling the freedom riding my bike and feeling the fresh air in my face.

Sing when I´m alone at home. But sing like If I were a pop star. Poor neighbors and poor my little and cute Lissy. Mamma Mia songs and Christmas Carols are my favorites. Even If it´s august I can sing Jingle Bells Rock. Seriously.

Enjoy a nap after a crazy and bussy day.

Play to be a cook and create delicious food. My mum is the best, so I should have a little touch of that, don´t you think?

Go back in time and be a kid as my niece and my nephew when I´m playing with them. Acting like we were a dentist, dancers...or animals. Drawing, creating rings with paper or decorate the room with handmade garlands.

My love, the only and the one.

Enjoy a chocolate ice-cream the hottest summer day. And be a mess, and have chocolate even in my hair or my glasess (I´m exaggerating a bit, you know).

Learn something new for me. Now is German. Happy face :)

Travel. Who say that you can not travel without money!!!??? Close your eyes, wait a sec, here you are...(disconecting in 3 2 1 0). And travel, if is with you, my sweetheart, better. Next wish trip: USA.

Giggle. A lot, and for what? I don´t know...but it´s funny.

A new beginning. A new open door. Write down in a new notebook. The smell of a new book. Refresh your mind.

Dance in front of a mirror, and see your dog face thinking, what the hell are you doing??? And then, take her, and dance with Lissy. She is happy when I do that, She loves it.

Rainy days. When I don´t want to get out of my bed. These lazy days.

My dog sleepy face. When she yawns is cute. It´s my little one. It´s my family. My princess.

Flowers.

The birds singing in the early morning. I feel like cincerella when they help her in the movie....and my day start with a smile.

My family. My friends. And all their laughts and jokes.

Cupcakes made by my mum, yummy yummy. Oh, I forgot to mention the carrot cake!!!!

Surprises. Make a handmade present. Even just a love note. Make me feel nervous. Would he like it?? Is it to kistch? :)

A hug. And another one. And two more.

Eat popcorns in the cinema.

The smell of clean clothes.

The first rays in the morning and the last ones of the day.

Blankets in winter days and blankets when the sun is down and the window is open. That fresh air coming inside my house is so relaxing and peaceful.

 Now, it´s your turn my friend. What make you happy????

Love, Lunarcita
