Fun, Relaxing, Refreshing #vlog #chaiwithsuzy #FridayReflections

Life today, in general terms, just seems hectic, stressful, achievement focussed (and I mean big achievements). Everyone seems to want to reach great heights, make a name for themselves, earn the big bucks. Nothing wrong with that, but it makes life a little complicated and quite rest-less.

So how does one relax, refresh and renew? Because without resetting at points in time, in my view, we'll just break.

Everyone has their own reset button. So there is no one size fits all. This post is not advice on what your reset button should look like, but it's about my reset button.

Music, Arts, Crafts, Writing, Walking, Meditation are some of my big reset buttons.

So today on the vlog I share with you a card I made for someone's big O birthday.

Making cards is so much fun. It takes the focus off any persistent issues, and it brings out my creative side. I love paper! So card making is just the perfect thing to do. It also adds a personal touch to the greeting and time invested in it is a way of showing your affection and love for that person.

So grab a cuppa and join me on a fun card making Sunday afternoon.

I hope you enjoyed today's vlog. These are the moments when I am truly loving life.

What are your reset buttons? Share in the comments below or write a post and join in at #FridayReflections.

Rest when you're weary.

Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit.

Then get back to work.

Getting ready for Mother's Day #vlog01 #chaiwithsuzy

I've been wanting to do a vlog for a long time and also something different on my blog. So I thought I would start a new vlog series called "Chai with Suzy"

I'm not sure if this is going to be a niche vlog like arts and crafts but I'll just go with the flow and see how this evolves.

I intend to post a vlog a week but haven't decided on a day yet. Or perhaps I'll coincide the vlog with some other linkups. Don't know, I'll see how I go and what kind of response I get.

And now to the vlog ...

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and is perfect to showcase my first vlog, "Getting ready for Mother's Day". If you follow me on Instagram Suzy.Ila then you will have seen this already. But I have added some additional bits and pieces.

So grab a cup of chai or coffee and join me on my vlog.

I love making cards and I enjoyed making this one. The editing may not be so good as I am just learning. The idea is not to be perfect but to showcase the fun I had.

Would love to hear what you thought and if this looks like a good idea. Also let me know what you would be interested in seeing besides my arts and crafts.

And if you vlog, please link up your vlog post so I can drop by and enjoy yours.
