Public Talk | Mindfulness Retreats

True Peace and Happiness in the Here and Now by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

I've read three of "Thay's" books: Peace is Every Breath, Peace is Every Step, and No Death, No Fear.  They're all wonderful books full of beautiful words, profound concepts and great wisdom.  I'm learning to inculcate his contemplations in my daily practice to live more gratefully.  In the moment.  With increasing peace and happiness, we can live blissfully and mindfully despite the pressures of life today.  I definitely want to attend Thich Nhat Hanh's talk, live in London next March. You might wish to do the same.

3 colour aquarelle nails


Gorgeous purple, hot pink & yellow aquarelle nails.  How?  Simple.  First, put a clear base coat on.  Next, give your nails two coats of purple.  Then paint hot pink & yellow onto small areas of a make up sponge and apply to your nails.  I love having varnish, colour and art on my nails.  The aquarelle style allows you to do just that.  


I used:
-OPI Natural Nail Base Coat 

-Boots No7 Stay Perfect Vivid Violet 40
-Essie Pink Parka

-Barry M, Lemon (yellow)
-Seche Vite dry fast top coat

-Elegant Touch rapid dry for nails with Vitamin E

The tent of heavenly bliss!

I credit having this great experience of seeing, hearing, "feeling" 3 lovely singers chant Shree Hanuman Chaleesa in this gorgeous tent at the Mind Body Spirit London Festival 2011 on Sunday with the heavenly bliss I felt that evening & all through Monday. Lost it somewhat today (through over-activity) which indicates a gap between mind, body & spirit that needs to be closed. Too much doing, not enough being!

Gorgeous purple Nails Inc Magnetic mani



Today I got a gorgeous Nails Inc. ripple effect Magnetic Mani which is now only £5! It was great letting someone else do my nails because I felt pampered, had a chat and they didn't chip! This mini mani includes buffing, filing, base coat, 2 coats of beautiful dark purple Houses of Parliament or silver or gold polish and the magnetic treatment. Be pampered for just £5 at Nails Inc.

Beautiful multi-tonal nail polish!

The Models Own Beetle Juice nail polish range comprises five multi-tonal shades. My fave is the warmest combination, Pinky Brown.  Every bottle has one gleaming shade made up of four pearlescent colours. The range was inspired by the gorgeous wings of a beetle, echoing its colour-shifting phenomenon, for a glistening duo chrome finish.

Sensational Models Own Beetle Juice Pinky Brown np!

Yay, my Models Own Pinky Brown Beetle Juice nail polish arrived today! Unfortunately, I only checked my mail late in the day, so it was dark by the time I varnished my nails. I'll take pics in daylight tomorrow. Nevertheless, I'm excited so I'm sharing a pic now!
