What is in my Bag ?

Hi Everyone,

Today I thought I would Post a "What is in my Bag" Video. I really Enjoy watching these Video's and I think many other people like it too.

I did not clean it out first so it is quite Full of everyday Bits. I used to have quite a Big Bag Collection But I noticed I wasn't really using many of the bags I had so I decided to stick with what I really Like.

I Love Big Bags that are Sturdy and can hold quite a bit and usually are leather as they become better with age and seem to be good investments.

I have Three Michael Kors bags so far, and Like his Bags, they are Timeless, Stylish, Classic and Functional. 

Here is My Michael Kors Handbag Collection so Far :


I am a Big Fan of Neutral Colours (normally Black, Grey or Beige) but do also have some Edgy styles I fell in love with too :)


I think you can get to know more about somebody through these Kind of Blogs and so I hope this will help you get to know me more :)


If you would like to make a What is in your Bag Video or Bog I would love to see it.

April 5 Favourite Things

Wow Spring is Finally here and we have been very lucky in Las Vegas because by now it is usually scorching Hot.
Instead we are enjoying the first signs of warm weather and Blossoming Trees.
Living in the desert can be so peaceful and yet often lacks the Lush greenery I am used to coming from the UK.
I am grateful for the Blossoms I can see:


Which Remind me there is Spring happening here too ;)

Ok So on to my favourite things for this month.

1.

Cannon Powershot:
Love this Little Camera it is reliable and Compact has Great Video Capabilities and small enough to fit into an evening bag. I have had this camera for a while and still believe it is great Value and am not looking to upgrade it any time soon.

I also use 2 other Compact Video Recorders which I am happy with, and at a pinch have no qualms about substituting either for this little lovely.

2.


Louis Vuitton  "Speedy 30" in Monogram Canvas.
This Little Bag is endless I can tell you and does not look like a big bag, I love that you can throw everything into this bag and go about your business. The bag gets even better with wear and is one of my favourites in the Monogram Canvas range. 
The 25 for me was too small and the 35 was too big, honestly those of you who have this bag will confirm just how roomy it is which works for me as I have plenty to carry.


I also have a Keepall 45 which is great for throwing in the back of  the car for a Driving weekend visit.
Although in my opinion not so great on planes as I like to be hands free and wheel luggage around as opposed to struggling with a stuffed bag full of items that become heavy after a while.

3.


Green Tea with Jasmine.. 
Has become my Tea of the month, It has such a refined smooth taste. 
I am a Tea Lover anyway My favourites being; Rose Hip and Hibiscus, Chai, Roobois and Vanilla and of course English Black Tea.
So this is quite a nice light taste and while I drink it hot, by the time I finish it, it is sometimes cold and still tastes good.
I would imagine for you Iced Tea Drinkers this one would be quite refreshing.

4.
Byron Katie So you need Love is That True ?
I am so Into Byron Katie at the moment, I love the simplicity of her work and I like the process of enquiry with Negative thinking.
I believe the whole concept of Questioning thoughts as opposed to just accepting and mindlessly allowing thoughts that change your life for the worst to keep playing fundamental to good mental health.


I read Loving What is and really enjoyed it, and am also finding this book really resourceful too. you must try it out for yourself. Btw all of her stuff on The Work is free on her site:

"The Work" of Byron Katie

Here are her Books:





Apparently Amazon have a Deal for all three of her books for around $30.00 it could quite easily be the best 30 Bucks spent in your life time. If you continue the inquiry and put it to good use.


5.

Alice In Wonderland -Tim Burton Movie.
I Really enjoyed this movie, in fact so much more than I ever expected I would all I will say is, If you haven't seen it yet Treat yourself to it, it is worth it and get some chocolate while you are Viewing.
I went to watch it with some very close friends (there were 4 of us) and we all enjoyed it immensely

Are you willing to Get out of your own way in your Relationships ?

Sometimes when you have changed so much about yourself and done so much of your own work, other people can be stuck in "The Old you" their own expectation of who they believe you to be.

I really like Echart Tolle's Teachings on Relationships, particularly in the area of Freedom in your expectations of another person.
I  have included some suggested Reading from Eckhart Tolle (Each book examines a different context) The Video Below describes having a relationship with people who you share much of the past with.

In these cases you may become frustrated and cause yourself pain with your unrealistic expectation of proving who you are now to them !

In knowing yourself and accepting yourself,  there is no need to explain and prove your beliefs. Acceptance of yourself and Empathy of other peoples differences can be loving and quite healing.




After all can you change any single person ?
Remember You .... Have Changed and your thinking has changed ... What Else has Changed ... Enjoy !
