Men's Summer Shorts are the Sartorial answer to women's Yoga Pants.

Men’s Summer Shorts are the Sartorial answer to women’s Yoga Pants.

A lot of times men ask me, what is the men’s sartorial answer to women’s yoga pants that have taken the world by storm? To dive into that question, one must examine what is the charm of women’s yoga pants and why they went viral ? Women’s yoga pants are equivalent to Spanx that you can wear outside.They compress and lift in the right places as well as provide versatility and freedom of movement.…

Mona Lisa Meditation

I was in my yoga class meditating, after we finished the “challenging” routine, when I’ve opened my eyes before everybody else did and in an instant had a  “Eureka” moment!

I looked at the people in the room who were still sitting with their eyes closed and meditating and  I ” figured out”  why Mona Lisa is smiling!

I have never read if there is a specific research done about this but looking at…

Save money on BLACK FRIDAY

Save money on BLACK FRIDAY

Today is Black Friday, which means non-stop shopping in the stores: Christmas gifts, clothes, technology…etc. I thought about it and I asked myself- “Do we have to always buy new things to update the way we look?”

Then I thought about this video for Komarov.comthat I did a while back. This shows   different techniques of tying a scarf that lets you update your look without an entirely new…

Happy Thanksgiving !

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you had a great year and have many things to be grateful for. My yoga instructor says that feeling of gratitude acts like a “reboot” system in our bodies. When we sit down  quietly and think about all those things that we are grateful for, out bodies tend to relax, stress tends to subside and we feel overall sense of well-being that is rejuvenating for our body…

Happy Bastille Day !

Happy Bastille Day !

Hope you were able to do something French today as an homage to Bastille day which 225 years ago, dramatically altered  the course of the human history.

There are  so many “French things” to experience  that it is challenging  to choose from: French fashion, French fries. French songs , French kisses…

In this picture I am trying to capture French: Bleu, Blanc et  Rouge  (colors of the French…

Mad Men inspiration

  Man Men TV series ended, with it my reason to ever watch TV. I absolutely loved the show:from its writing to the costumes, everything was great!  This last season I fully watched on the iTunes. It’s ending made me think more about the relevance of television in general.

  I feel TV in its traditional sense is dead and online media is slowly but surely is taking its place: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon,…

Easter, Steve Jobs and Facebook

Easter, Steve Jobs and Facebook

I don’t watch a lot of TV these days, since I only have Netflix, and I normally don’t watch it either for the lack of time,  so when I finally got time this weekend, I went on a “movie binge” and watched  2 movies back to back!

I watched Steve Jobs and The Social Network (both for the first time I must say).

Loved both movies!

Not because of cinematography or costumes, that I usually gravitate…

Does Train ride induces creativity?

Everyone has their favorite place to write: it might be at that little table in Starbucks, in the bathtub, in the car; at the office…favorite places are as many as there are people.

Health Thursday: Relaxing baths

Health Thursday: Relaxing baths

One of the best ways to pumper yourself is to take a bath, put on a nice music  and light up some candles. Warm water helps muscles to relax . Relaxed muscles send signal to the brain, that “everything is fine you can relax” and brain follows the body and slowly calms down.

The whole experience can only improve by adding some aromatic salts into the water.

Here is one of my favorite  DIY recipes…

Time Management Monday: Start With Why

A great book I’ve been reading lately is START WITH WHY by Simon Sinek.  It’s great for business owners or just people looking to make an impact in the world.

He goes through various examples of famous people or companies and why they are more profitable, have loyal customers and have repeated success compared to other companies.  He talks about defining WHY you are doing something and using that…

Sunday Inspiration

Sunday Inspiration

Sunday Inspiration is a time to rest, reflect and appreciate what’s around us.

For this week I have quote from Theodore Roosevelt: ”Believe you can and you’re halfway there.”

It’s easy to give up when doubt stares you in the face.  But just remember that believing you can do something is half that battle.  I find that once I believe in something, it is easier to motivate myself to do it.  And the…
