Magic Tree

Hello God!

Thank You for today’s Inspiration. Today’s morning have presented to us something wonderful.

This tree
Is not only a tree
It is a freindly tree,
that is always watching over you.
This tree
Is not only a tree
It is a magical tree.
That makes miracles happen,
Hopes become realities,
And nevers become alwayses.
This tree
Is not only a tree
It is where everything started.
It is the tree of life.

by Mia Ocean

We were eating grapes when the idea was born.

I with my daughter are creating a magic tree from empty bunch of grapes and modeling clay.

We think a little glittering is beautiful.

Red flowers are blooming on the tree.

And Pixie dust is necessary.

To make this tree is easy and fun. You and your child will be happy if you try to create it.

Well, close your eyes and think about your Dream, as you know:

It is a magical tree.
That makes miracles happen,
Hopes become realities…

Summer, Beach and Bikini!

Published on July 7, 2013July 7, 2013 by Glorialana36 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Inspiration to invent bikini. It is hard to imagine our life without it. “Summer, Beach and Bikini!” is a new hendiatris that endorses hedonistic lifestyles or behaviors in hot weather.

On July 5th, 1946, the modern bikini was unveiled in public for the first time. French fashion designer Louis Réard hired Micheline Bernardini, an exotic dancer at the Casino de Paris to sport his two-piece creation after the runway models he approached refused to wear it.

This ‘revolutionary’ and iconic piece of beachwear was named after the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. Reard dubbed “bikini,” inspired by a news-making U.S. atomic test that took place off the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.

Réard described his ‘invention’ as “smaller than the smallest swimsuit.” He also said, “A bikini is not a bikini unless it can be pulled through a wedding ring.”

“A girl in a bikini is like having a loaded gun on your coffee table – There’s nothing wrong with them, but it’s hard to stop thinking about,” said Garrison Keillor. Oh he is right, so right. Even I can not stop to see and admire my favorite model from Victoria Secret Candice Swanepoel.

“Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don’t take it off until you’re thirty-four,” Nora Ephron writes in ” I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman”. Her advice is wise. But why until thirty-four, I suggest at least until seventy-four! We, women, are created beautiful and our task to manifest our Beauty every moment of our life. It is the key of happiness of our world.

Please manifest your Beauty today and always! Happy Sunday!

Kupala Night

Published on July 6, 2013July 6, 2013 by Glorialana10 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for my roots. When I think about how many people had lived before my birth I am mesmerized by the thought “they all lived to make my being possible on this planet”. I am Slavonic. My mother is Belorussian and father has a Polish roots. Today we celebrate Ivan Kupala’s Night.

This night is always filled with miracles: you may hear the whisper of herbs and see mermaids, watch trees change places and witness the bright light of the blossoming fern flower.

The fire is miraculous and detoxifying tonight. If you are courage enough to jump over the fire you will stay healthy all year.

Tonight a magical rituals are allowed. Girls make wreaths from wild flowers and add a nettle to it, which reflects the essence of a mermaid concealed in every girl. They push the wreath into the river and get rid of the mermaid’s nature.

Girls also stick burning candles into their wreaths and make bets whose wreath remains on the surface longer. The longer the candle burns the more overwhelming love will be.

This feast of fire, water and love filled me with the certainty that life is given to all of us for happiness, joy and love. It is our responsibility to make our lives beautiful.

Enjoy tonight! It is magical. Believe me, I know!

Romance Mood

Published on July 5, 2013July 5, 2013 by Glorialana4 Comments

Hello God!
Thank you for the sweet memory I have about my first sight in my future husband’s eyes. What a fleeting sense of happy uncertainty “Is he the One?” “Yes, yes,yes, he is,” beating of my heart had answered. As always my brain was the last who had accepted this fact.

My today’s mood is romantic and I am happy to share with you this poetic moment.

To ***

I still recall the wondrous moment:
When you appeared before my sight
As though a brief and fleeting omen,
Pure phantom in enchanting light.

In sorrow, when I felt unwell,
Caught in the bustle, in a daze,
I fell under your voice’s spell
And dreamt the features of your face.

Years passed and gales had dispelled
My former hopes, and in those days,
I lost your voice’s sacred spell,
The holy features of your face.

Detained in darkness, isolation,
My days began to drag in strife.
Without faith and inspiration,
Without tears, and love and life.

My soul attained its waking moment:
You re-appeared before my sight,
As though a brief and fleeting omen,
Pure phantom in enchanting light.

And now, my heart, with fascination,
Beats rapidly and finds revived
Devout faith and inspiration,
And tender tears and love and life.

Alexander Pushkin

I see you are smiling about your happy memory about the glimpse you remember for your whole life!

Real Girl

Published on July 4, 2013 by Glorialana5 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for my daughter. My daughter is the greatest gift from the Sky. I love her endlessly. As a mother I want to see my child happy and healthy. We love to play together and our favorite game is in fashion designer. We create a clothing for a dolls, and Barbie, of course, goes the first in our waiting list. Girls are girls.

“Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie,” Rita Rudner says and I agree with her. Barbie doll can be a nightmare for mindful parents.

Artist Nickolay Lamm has made Barbie over, using an average 19-year-old girl’s body dimensions. Oh, I am happy to see the news.

While the original Barbie has measurements of 36-18-33, Lamm’s Barbie is a much healthier 32-31-33.

The differences are clearly visible. Real girl doll’s neck is almost twice as wide as the original, with shorter legs and a slightly smaller head.

The artist and researcher set out to prove whether his realistic Barbie would still be as marketable as her infamous original. He photographed his model Barbie next to her original, photoshopping his work to make her coloring, packaging and clothing like the typical doll.

Speaking about his latest work, the artist said: “So, if there’s even a small chance of Barbie in its present form negatively influencing girls, and if Barbie looks good as an average sized woman in America, what’s stopping Mattel from making one?”

I would buy the real girl’s size doll for my daughter. Mattel, please, think about the idea! I am sure a lot of parents will be grateful worldwide.

Thank you for sharing with me this moment and our parent’s worries and hopes.

Pink Dream

Published on July 4, 2013July 4, 2013 by Glorialana5 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for America. I love America and I know for sure I will see Her very soon. As you know I have never been in USA. But I have been in Munich’s Deutsches Museum and found there the epitome of my dream you see below!

Oh, my darling big pink dream! I love you and the place where you were born. In English language “car” is “it”. But my dream is She. She is beautiful. I feel her happy energy with Elvis Presley song inside:

La,La,La We’re caught in a trap

I can’t walk out

Because I love you too much, baby!

I am singing his “Suspicious Mind” and driving the car somewhere near California. What the sweetest dream I have!

I have heard that one of the biggest differences between Europe and U.S. is a things in the U.S. tend to be a bit larger than in the rest of the world! The size of my dream is big. Dream Big!

America Dreams Big. All my significant teachers which are leading my way are from U.S. Carlos Castaneda, Abraham Maslow, Louise Hay, Anthony Robbins, Napoleon Hill, Steve Jobs and Richard Branson are inspiring and teaching to Dream Big.

“What made America great was her ability to transform her own dream into hope for all mankind. America did not tell the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who – with their hands, their intelligence and their heart – built the greatest nation in the world: ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.’ She said: ‘Come, and the only limits to what you’ll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent.” Nicolas Sarkozy said about U.S. I like these words and believe in.

Today is the 4th of July! I am celebrating today with you. Thank you for your company and mmm delicious barbecued chicken.

Happy Independence Day!

Dior Me

Published on July 2, 2013July 2, 2013 by Glorialana3 Comments

Hello God!

Thank You for Dior again. Dior was the iconic name almost for every Soviet woman. Happy circumstances had brought Dior to USSR in 1959. 14 years ago the War II was finished and the winner-USSR was in the process of restoring and, what is important, curing post traumatic pain. It was the time to remember about life, peaceful life.

The Khrushchev’s Thaw had changed many aspects of the Soviet life, and fashion was one of them. A “classic” cut of Dior suit was considered “ideologically neutral” by the Soviets, as well as stable and practical.

The colors of war were mixed up with dirty gray and bloody red. Dior was happily mixed up with the motley and lithe palette of the French fashion.

“Oh, I see the aliens!” We can smile now, but these faces still remember horrors of the war.

My grandmother was young and beautiful. She could be on this picture with my little mother on her hands.

My grandmother and mother usually copied a dresses from a rare magazines about fashion and they sew on the sewing machines at home. My promo dress was sew by them a la Dior!!!

I am happy because love to Dior was genetically grafted to my personality by two generations of beautiful and strong women. As for me to see the last Couture collection fall-winter’13/14 is sad.

Thank You for sharing this moment with me.

Dior Me Not

Hello God!

Thank You for Dior. I love Dior from the time I can remember myself. In my Soviet childhood Dior was the embodiment of the different planet of Beauty and Femininity. I collected every picture with Dior look and kept it under my pillow!

Yesterday I was dumbfounded by Dior Couture collection Fall-Winter 2014.

Perhaps my eyes are wrong? I can not believe them!

Dior1

By the way it is a mink coat!

Is it a New Look from Dior?

Can you imagine a woman in this dress on the street? Ok,ok not on the street, on your wedding.

What’s the Autumn 2014 elegance!

This look is from my childhood when I was playing in a fiancee and my wedding dress was made from my grandmother’s curtains.

What is this? All I can say about the dress.

Thank you for your today’s smile and have a nice day!
