Las Vegas

28/3/2020

0 Comments

 
In this difficult period, and when almost the entire planet is confined, having fun to avoid stress is essential, and I know the right place for that: Las Vegas!

I’ve been there a few times, by plane and by car, discovering this city, out of nowhere in the middle of the desert, is a unique and surreal experience ...
If there’s one thing that can’t happen in Vegas, it’s to be bored!

Obviously, you think casino, so let's start here:

​Adventure is already there, just taking a stroll on the Strip, during the day, this long avenue of 4.2 miles! Don’t hesitate to take the monorail for another point of view, and to save energy for the evening.
Depending on the time of year, the heat is unbearable, then, enter and visit the sumptuous hotels with their galleries and casinos. A free world tour, air conditioning included!
​
The most surprising, a virtual sky whose light changes over the hours as if for real ...
After several hours, we don't even know where we are… Egypt??

You’ll go shopping along the way for sure ...

But you can also go to a Pool Party.

All the big hotels organise some during the day, the right place for party animals until the evening. The biggest DJs perform, atmosphere guaranteed but you need to have money, the entry, drinks and snacks, for a whole half-day can ruin you quickly depending on the venue.

On the other hand, if you have plenty of money to spend, on the menu for $125,000 you can have 6L of Dom Pérignon, 30 bottles of sparkling wine and ... a Harley Davidson! Obviously pretty hostesses bring you all this…

Now if you’ve found the rare gem, you can also take advantage of the day to get married. Las Vegas has no less than 50 chapels celebrating more than 300 weddings a day.

I don't know if they organise solo weddings, but since in Vegas everything is possible ...

​You probably haven't forgotten about this very relaxing activity that I described in my article Spas Around the World, and there are plenty of beautiful and amazing places in Las Vegas.

You can also choose a getaway to the Grand Canyon, read In the Air, I did it by helicopter, but bus excursions are also possible.

By night, it's another universe to explore, at the end of the article a video by helicopter, nothing better to realise that Las Vegas is the first hotel city in the world!

​Shows, concerts, musicals, bars, restaurants and clubs, there’s something for everyone...

​More and more online parties are organised during this quarantine. It's great to keep in touch and have fun, through new ways.
​
I believe in friendship and humanity!

Take care of yourself, have a good week!

Love & Party,
L.

France is on lockdown, like Italy and Spain.

Yes, this is dramatic and scary, I won’t try to minimise my emotions here, or to sugarcoat reality. However, this is not the first time I’m confined in my life, and I’ve been isolated in much more difficult circumstances. Still, it’s stressful and scary. You must be patient, one day after another, and hope that the situation gets better very soon.

I can’t recommend enough that you respect the measures put in place, not only for you or your family, but also for the whole world.

Obviously, I'm going to talk about positive thinking here and encourage you to be strong and stay optimistic.

I’ve also posted a video on social media this week to tell you how I’m going through this.
I put it here, for those who haven’t seen it.

Another of my methods is to use hypnotherapy and meditation, guided by Marisa Peer, multi-award-winning British therapist, to attract positive vibes and improve my immune system.

I believe in the power of the mind and our brain is capable of doing many wonders, so do not doubt, try, and then, you'll give me your opinion.

I’ll tell you more about Marisa in a future article.

Your mind doesn't care if what you say is true or false, it integrates everything you say like a robot, so don’t hesitate to repeat every day:

• My immune system is strong and resistant
• I can deal with any situation effectively and calmly
• I like to eat healthy food to live long and very healthy
• My body is a wellness making machine 24/24
• I am never sick because my body is immune to everything
 

You can also read my previous articles:
  • Happiness
  • Thank you
  • Be Positive
  • Happiness activist

Above all, don't forget essential things, sleep properly, and eat healthily, there are heaps of superfoods to boost your metabolism. I give you a few as a reminder:
• Kiwi, lemon, orange, banana
• Spinach, broccoli, carrot, button mushroom
• Beef, egg, herring, veal liver, cooked ham
• Sesame seeds, hazelnuts
• Dark chocolate (read again Chocolate), honey
• Wholemeal bread, rye bread, muesli
 
Some people also like comfort food when they’re stressed, that’s fine, do what makes you happy but vary!!

Feel free to contact me if you need to talk, and not necessarily about the coronavirus: Contact.

Don't forget to make some noise for the medical staff, every night at 8pm.
You are not alone, and we’ll go through this together! Thank you everyone!!
 
I put relaxation music at the end, for those who need it...
 
Stay safe, stay strong and positive!
 
Love & Light,
L.

Crete, Episode 5

14/3/2020

0 Comments

 
I miss the Greek sun, last year at that time I was writing my book in Crete: My Solo Wedding in Santorini.

So, for this new episode of the Crete series, I take you to the northeast of the island.

Agios Nikolaos with 27,000 inhabitants is the 5th biggest city in Crete.

It was built during the Bronze Age and has the particularity of a small lagoon in the middle of the city: the Lake Voulismeni.

Legend tells that Athena bathed in it.

This small lake of 137 metres in diameter, was later connected to the port, by a canal dug by the French Army in 1907.

This little town is absolutely charming, I love it. It offers countless views of the city and the sea. I like wandering through its streets or relaxing  on a bar terrace ...

From Agios Nikolaos, departure by boat to Spinalonga Island.

This island was used in ancient times as an army base, with a fortress erected in the centre, to protect the port of Elounda (coastal city).

In 1579, the Venetians reused this space and built a large fortress, with high walls and circular bastions on the hill. These are the vestiges we rediscover today.
​
Then, the Turks took possession of it from 1715 to the beginning of the 20th century.

In the time of Coronavirus... It wasn’t long ago that people who had leprosy were isolated in leper colonies to protect healthy people.

Spinalonga was, from 1904 to 1957, a place of confinement for lepers. Without real help from the Greek government, they learnt to survive on this island. Finally, in 1957, sick people were transferred near Athens to be healed.

Leprosy is still present today in a hundred countries in the world, including India, Brazil, Indonesia, Nepal, Mozambique, Madagascar ...

Since 1976, the island has been protected as an archaeological site and buildings from the 20th century have been destroyed, leaving only the Venetian vestiges.

And if you missed my previous articles on Crete:

  • Crete Episode 2 - Rethymno
  • Crete Episode 3 - Lassithi Plateau
  • Crete Episode 4 - Chania
And since sunsets always inspire me a lot (read Article Sunset), a magnificent Cretan sunset to finish:

Take care of yourself and others.

​Have a good week!

Proud to be a Woman

Tomorrow March 8 will be International Women’s Day, although I’m not waiting for a special day to celebrate us, as my Superwomen Series can attest, I obviously wanted to share this pride with you this week.

The very first one took place in 1909 in the United States, however it’s in 1977 that the United Nations officialised this day.

During the vows of my Solo Wedding in Santorini, I had a thought for all women, and I said:
"A thought for all young ladies, women, spouses, mothers around the world, being a woman is our strength."

If we are many to be sure of it, let's use this day to let the world know it!

Sexism, misogyny, discrimination, violence and torture will never silence our voices, because there’ll always be another woman to testify, protect, claim.

Sisterhood is very real, women who support each other, but not only, many men who are also by our side. So, thank you to all those who fought for us, who do so today, and to all who’ll fight for our children.
And in memory of them, today I’d like to speak of an exceptional woman, a woman with an immense courage and a limitless audacity: Joséphine Baker.
​
She was born American (in 1906) but died French (in 1975).

Her real name was Freda Josephine McDonald, woman of colour, in a racist and divided America, she was involved in every fight as a: woman, artist, resistant, mother and activist.

Attracted by dance and cabaret from a very young age, and to escape poverty, at 14 she danced in a troupe, then at 16 left for New York, it was finally in 1925, spotted by a rich American woman who puts on a show in France - the Revue Nègre - that she arrives in Paris. Her success was immediate.

Avant-garde, she didn't care about conventions and followed her convictions; the first international Black star, she sung all over the world, and she used her fame many times to defend what seemed right to her.

Thus, she helped the French Resistance during the Second World War, later, she militated against racism in the world. Therefore, she adopted 12 children of different nationalities.

She was also, alongside Martin Luther King for the Civil Rights Movement.

No matter what you want to do in life, believe in yourself and in your dreams ...
​
As a child, my great friend Barbie helped me build myself, and yes, we can be a feminist and love Barbies!

One of my favourites was Barbie Business with her pink suit and briefcase. At 6 years old I dreamed of being a businesswoman as much as a princess, we have every right to be all.

I’d like to remind here, an intelligent woman can also be beautiful and attractive!!
​
Today the brand goes even further, and many jobs are represented, including firefighter, astronaut, engineer, airplane pilot ...

"I am proud to be a woman and I refuse to be a victim."  L.

French law prohibits me from freezing my oocytes, I went to Spain. I would not let men decide my life. It belongs to me just like my body.

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
