Recently did minor renovations & repairs in my home. Nothing major, just had a few cabinets falling apart and walls/ceilings peeling. However no matter how minor, dust abounds! Will share some pics soon, and also, taking time to assess my possessions ☝🏻🤓🏡. Stay safe everyone 🌷

Now that the covid restrictions are easing, I’m paying more attention to my footwear. Before, it was mainly sandals for a quick trip to the grocery store. Now even though I’m still staying in a lot, I can dress up a little! (Love the classic Ballerina flats - it suits my casual life).

ELEGANT PRINCIPLE: It is fine to have a different opinion. There should be no name-calling, insults, slander and other methods of pressure or to oppress someone due to a difference in opinion/political beliefs. In recent weeks, there has been lots of talks of politics due to the current elections of where I live. As a result, I’m often taken aback at friends airing their views freely on social media, particularly ones who seem to love to criticise others who do not want to vote in the same way. Although it is their prerogative , it makes me feel quite uncomfortable. I actually do feel strongly about politics, current issues and have very strong opinions, I just rather not get into it with just anyone, if at all. That’s just my take.
