Stress free weekend.

  

Weekend is here, hot and steamy like we are still at the summertime peek.

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to catch up with some work assignments, covering for colleagues on vacation, and trying to heel my dog Papi’s ear infection and trying to arrange couple of free-vacation days by my boyfriends schedule I have felt quit stressed. 

   This caused my immune system to go down and I got incredible insomnia which further raised my stress levels – so I took 2 days off last week to sleep and reenergize, to do nothing at all as I thought planning to go on a trip and party with my friends would just exhaust me even more.

       Today I really took it easy. I slept in late, took my dog Papi for a long walk, had a late breakfast, refreshed my lately neglected flowers, went to meet my friend Anita for a coffee and healing power chat and finally started reading the last book my boyfriend got me “I love New York” by Lindsey Kelk.

I still feel like summer passed by me quit quickly and I still feel like I desperately need that “me time”, with no phone, no laptop or internet or “I just need this one info from you” kind of calls from the office – just some breathing space.

What do you do to relax and unwind from weekday stress lovelies?

Puppy love by Di canine couture

I was recently contacted by a lovely lady called Divya Karamchedu. Divya is a recent Parsons graduate and other then her obvious designing talent she has a charity cause which is close to her heart. Her passion about the cause was really inspiring for me, expecially now when in the light of recent economy downturns people often turn to basic survival expenses and worries. 
So it is really refreshing and hopefull to see that there is still sentiment for fighting causes we believe in for creatures and people we love utilizing our education, income and free time.


Divya has lost her puppy Ruby to cancer and in remembrance she started a pet apparel brand - Di Canine Couture.


 Di. couture pledges to donate $5 of every purchase made to SPCA and other Animal rescue organizations. Every piece of puppy clothes is hand made using luxurious fabrics, finest beading and all out couture finishing. 

Bellow you can see some more of Divya's work. Please join Di Canine Couture facebook fan page.


Enjoy lovelies! Good luck with your cause Divya!

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  

When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; 

then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, 

but I never say naught thereat.  

For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, 

but never a friend like that.
