Cut out snowflakes?? our new favorite craft?Upcycling some paper, they decorate now our windows! We try to avoid plastic (as much as we can) so for that we use washi tape, remember that washi tape is made out of highly renewable resources and is biodegradable, which means it’s a great addition to your new sustainable lifestyle. ??

Thanksgiving table idea: “Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” – Amy Colette
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Spain or France but since I started working in social media I loved the fact of a celebration of gratitude and being grateful for our many blessings big and small as a photog community!
so I started joined different photo challenges and tried the tomato and mozzarella candy cane for a Thanksgiving table idea. Because I love photography but it has to be festive and creative!
You probably know that I also started the hashtag #normalisingthriftedclothes and in that group we want to celebrate gratitude and invite you to join #slow_simple_holidays . We want to have a greenFriday, cyberMonday and slow Christmas focusing on a sustainable way to enjoy the last month of the year. Would you join?
That’s my idea for a slow holidays,with a simple Thanksgiving table idea.Hope you like that tomato candy cane! It’s so much fun to create!

Chronic illness day: My sister is a cystic fibrosis warrior, and my mother suffers from fibromyalgia and polyarthritis. One of the reasons why those are really hard battles is because most of the time they are invisible. This week we have gotten together to create awareness around chronic illnesses. – A chronic illness is a long term health condition which may not necessarily have a cure. – Most Chronic illness are invisible but is not imaginary. – Most chronically ill persons live a very lonely and isolated life as symptoms can be extremely debilitating – some have become bedridden and housebound. – There are more than twenty different chronic illnesses. The most common among them are Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/CFS, EDS, Lyme disease and many more. – The best one person can do for a chronically ill person is to believe them. . That was a hashtag challenge for onstaoon order to raise awareness and I chose that photo because the nostalgic aesthetic and the blurry focus.
