Ma esa elephant camp

Chiang Mai, Thailand 🐘 🇹🇭

Spending a Peaceful Morning with Elephants in Mae Rim is the best thing you can do for yourself and family when you visit Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Why?

1. Cooler Mountain Air and Active Elephants

Mornings in the Mae Sa Valley bring cool mountain mist and mild temperatures. Elephants are most active during these early hours, making it the best time to watch them forage, socialise, and explore.

2. A Truly Hands-Off, Observation-Focused Visit

Unlike fast-paced tours, morning visits focus on gentle, unstructured routines. Guests observe elephants roaming freely, preparing nutritious food, or bathing in the stream without forced shows or riding schedules.

3. Fewer Crowds and Peaceful Surroundings

Visiting early avoids the busier afternoon crowds. The natural jungle surroundings—filled with bird calls and flowing water—create a calm environment ideal for photography and mindful travel storytelling.

4. Supporting Elderly Elephant Care

A morning visit offers insight into The Chang Chiang Mai, Maesa’s dedicated area for senior elephants. Readers learn about specialized diets, herbal supplement preparations, and veterinary care for retired working animals.

Rodon Mount Hotel & Resort- 🤠🌄

Why would someone visit a mountain hotel in Cyprus?

It is something so exciting when you get your car out on a Saturday morning and drive with your friends and visit small villages in Cyprus.

You want to wander around, find and try the best food divines and enjoy your red glass of wine when is sunset.

Well, let me introduce you Rodon Mount Hotel & Resort- the best mountain hotel in Agros village where you can go on a weekend and relax after a stressful week.

I have recently been there myself and I highly recommend it. The staff is great; warm and friendly and the food in the restaurants is also very delicious. Rodon hotel has been renovated recently and it has been upgraded since the last time which I visited years ago.

There are many facilities to enjoy and take advantage of such as the sauna and the gym. I love to spend my time in the sauna as it relaxes my blood vessels, enhances collagens production and helps me to remove all unnecessary toxicity. I recommend hammam steam bath. Price is reasonable which is 30 euros for 20 minutes. I believe it is worth it; it’s rejuvenating.

Further, there are also some sports amenities such as the tennis, basket and football courts. If you have children just leave them there while you enjoy your sauna relaxation. 🥹

Lastly, I recommend you to do some hiking around the mountain and enjoy panoramic views and/or alternatively just go around the village and get to know the most friendly, down to earth locals ever.

Baby blue summer style…

It’s officially Summer 🙂

Every summer I wonder what colours mainly conquer in the fashion trend and people’s lifestyle. Obviously, when spring comes up people alter the way of dressing to more cheerful and light clothes. But when summer kicks in and you feel that heat on your skin -hmm… well then, you just get naked (ha no…. or maybe 😉 – you want to wear the most colourful and brightest blooms your wardrobe provides.

This summer is blue. Not just any blue but baby blue. I consistently get to shops and see myself trying clothes with baby blue colours on them. Not only that but i also browse home accessories such as sheets, pillows, plates, flowers e.t.c…- but I will dedicate a separate section about this in the near future – However,  my ideal casual/classy look for this summer would be anything with a touch of baby blue colour and a bright smile!

What to say, women…

Sunny Sunday

There is something magical about London when the sun is shining.

So, today I decided to  take a long walk in central London to get away from everything. I do this often, giving some time to myself to think and organise my thoughts.  I love observing people and definitely interact and learn things from them. London is a  place where you can meet people from all over the world and draw inspiration from them. This is one of  the main reasons I chose this city to live.

The weather was brilliant, the climate was warm and there wasn’t even a single drop of rain. Ahh… I smell summer. People were just happy, loud and all smiles laying on the grass with their friends without worries – or maybe they were just drunk but who cares 😉

This is life…enjoying the little things you can’t buy!

SPafos Treatment

I think Pafos is the perfect place to wake up after a big hungover the night before.

Particularly, in Miliou where it has this amazing hotel/resort called “Ayii Anargyri Hotel Natural Healing Spa Resort”. We were lucky, because we found this Christmas offer by accident and we booked it immediately, without doubts. 🙂

The offer included one night accommodation and spa treatment  such as sauna&jacuzzi and also breakfast and dinner. It was so relaxing, whilst listening the rain outside and enjoying the hot water inside.

Staying in for around 45 mins we finished the treatment with sauna and then we had a delicious dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. Before bed time, a couple of drinks beside the harmonic harp; were mandatory to repeat the whole thing the next day.

Of course, the best part, before spa was the aromatotherapy massage for 55 mins. Full relaxation-at its finest.

It would be a decent gift to give it to close friends/family or a Valentine’s gift for you and your other half. ❤

However, offers are out now so if you feel like doing this now for the festive season  visit  http://www.aasparesort.com/special-offers/

Law Ball ’14

Today I woke up with a little bit of headache and I’m hanging like a bat from a tree! Yes you know what I’m talking about! I had quite few drinks more than I should but there is a good excuse for that!

Last night my friends and I went to the Law ball which their university organised for the end of final exams! I have never actually been to mine so I thought it would be a good idea to attend a ball and escape from  London’s boring routine. In addition, one of my friends had her birthday the day before so we needed a proper night out to celebrate! 😉

For the occasion I decided to wear a black & white long jumpsuit from Miss Selfridge and black high heels from Zara! I chose a khaki Charles & Keith bag!

Gisou for review…!

It was about time Negin.

For the superwomen ladies out there, you would be probably interested to have the hair beauty product made by the Dutch blogger Negin Mirsalehi.

It’s quite expensive – EUR74,00- for a hair oil but I strongly believe that this one is promising and it can last for a long time as long as you do not get carried away and overuse it. Hence, it is a value for money because it is a lasting top-notch honey infused hair oil. I must admit, I am quite impressed by the packaging and the bottle of the product as it is cute and elegant and I will definitely keep it.

The key ingredient is honey which has many benefits such as vitamins, antioxidants and minerals to provide to your hair. Also, it acts as a moisturizer and it keeps them gloss and healthy at all time. It has really a refreshing and a discrete smell 😛

 

My only negative comment is the fact that the website is under expansion and on the delivery destinations are limited hence you may not be able to find your country now. As soon as it has profitable sales later on it should be fine.

Visit Negin’s website:  http://www.gisou.com/#honey-infused-hair-oil

Alternatively, go to LOUISAVIAROMA and search for Gisou or Negin Mirsalehi to checkout the product 😉

Visit louisaviaroma website: https://www.luisaviaroma.com/women/catalog/lang_EN?search=negin%20mirsalehi

If you can not find it, then it is probably sold out. Be patient until they restock their warehouses.

 

Application of Gisou:

Step 1: After a good washing of your hair, comb them while they are wet and apply two full drops on your hair. I recommend not to apply on the roots of the hair but from the middle and downwards.

Step 2: After you dry them, add another two drops on your hair for finishing.-Be careful not to overdo it.

Step 3: Look yourself at the mirror and be confident. You will notice immediately that your hair are softer. (I know it feels great right?-i bet that people will be asking “Oh my gosh what have you done to your hair” lol)

(As per Negin’s instruction on her little booklet you can add some drops with your hair mask as well….Personally, I haven’t tried it with hair mask yet.. As you can see it has multiple uses and everyone can find their own use/ application as long as they feel good about it.)

I knew that Negin wouldn’t disappoint us on the production of the hair oil. It is splendid.

DANK JE NEGIN MIRSALEHI ❤

Anticipating for your next challenge 😉

The way to get ahead is to get started. 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿

I know is hard to find the daily motivation to go to the gym. I really respect the people who find that willpower that get up in the morning and head for training every day.

However, even though I tried it for sometime it didn’t work for me, especially with the heavy workloads and schedules. Therefore, I started going to a Pilates studio center accommodating my needs and also helped me.

I would love to introduce you in my blog “Karma Pilates & Fitness studio”, founded by the beautiful Kristi Louca.

From my research, in this town I believe the studio center is a leading and one of the most upgraded place for Pilates and Yoga. It provides Pilates and Yoga to affordable prices not only to adults but also to kids. Women after pregnancy also can participate to the classes as there are specific trainings for them and help in stabilising hormonic changes (Jeez 🫣).

From my experience after a couple of months the lower back pain started to reduced as I became more flexible and my glute anatomy was gradually improving. I can’t deny I was also following a diet so that played a contributory role to my well-being and fitness journey.

In addition to Yoga and Pilates classes, the studio provides Zumba classes with expert Zumba instructors on Tuesday afternoons. (Top tip: Zumba is the perfect workout for weight loss- trust me 🤫).

Moreover, there are special packages you can participate in and enjoy a variety of classes such as TRX, abs&legs, tabata etc) by entering into a membership.

Below the link that you can view the fees for joining the studio centre:
