The secret to Making money with writing online

Jep...
It can be done.
Working from home.


I've read a bunch of books on this subject and tried out some weird stuff in my youth... it's not that easy to get your book or short stories published in the old school way (on paper) but it doesn't actually take THAT MUCH to get it out as an ebook!!!

:D

I urge You to check this out on your own. It really doesn't matter if You live in the EU or the USA or somewhere else... Ebooks are everywhere and especially restaurant critics need to travel all over the place to eat out ;)

Believe in yourself and make the commitment! WRITE :)

How I get through a shitty morning

Kiddo wouldn't sleep.
He Would: dig around the boxes and drawers he's not allowed to use.
He Would: play with everything and scream like crazy 'cause he's so Happy and cheerful.
He Would: drive me crazy 'cause I can't do anything "personal" like work on the computer or clean or go to the toilet in peace...

So what do I do...
Well, I keep kiddo happy (number 1 rule) however I can (many ways) and then I help him to nap and...
...then I watch Commando :D

Some of the books I'm reading right now

I saw a long documentary about Dr. Wayne Dyer when we lived in New Orleans. I fell in love with his teachings.

The other pic is from just a minute ago. There's a bear roaming around  (wayyyy) south from here.

Photo shoot

I had another photo shoot today... oh how I LOVE photo shoots! !!
My favourite photographer Sofia Virtanen from Hamina did the work.
We stayed inside for this one.
I just love working with her.
She is Amazing! 

She can make me look like a goddess every time!  :)
The theme was burlesque.
I had a killer corset on and high-high heels  <3


How to Save a Marriage?


I’m quite married… to myself.

It’s a horrible fight sometimes to keep myself happy. Most of the time it would just be easier to have a guide book or a long stick to keep Me out of my way…
Just like today. I got a ton of stuff done BUT it took forever and eventually (when I REALLY looked at what I had done…) it didn’t seem like much.
I had been stuck to the frelling computer  for hours (!) and I hadn’t made much more than a mess…
I felt like shit.
I didn’t want to talk about it with my husband.
Who would?
But WAIT! I have to share my life with him! It’s the whole POINT of Living together!
So there I sat… waiting for him to come home and feeling like shit. I spent most of the day online and got nothing done. I thought I found a new way to shop and save money but all my good leads got cut off by some stupid “we’re not interested in non-American’s…”
That got me thinking: What if I would spend the rest of my time (about 2 hours) to fix as much as I could by making him dinner, feeling good about him coming home and remembering all the good things in life (we have many, You do too!)
I felt much better and I’m sure you would, too :)
My worries melted away and by feeling Grateful about the Good things in life I could concentrate on fixing whatever I felt like was wrong. My problems simply melted away!

How I survived my joint pains after giving birth

I didn't give birth the natural way of waiting 'til the end and popping the baby out in any way I could.
We had a cesarian.
:)
It didn't cause any problems. Actually, I believe it was the safest and most precise birthing I could have ever had. It was clear from the start that I was getting a planned operation. Not a rushed operation. :)
Thank gosh, I got it.

Nursing was really not my thing but I practised and kiddo loved it so we kept at it and he got his milk until he was about 7 months old... from there on I started bottle feeding him (he was bottle fed from the start, too, so it was nothing new to him) and I started getting HORRIBLE joint pains in my wrists and shoulders and hips (?!) and BACK. It was just too much to cuddle him every few hours, But kiddo LOVED being held and We loved having him close... so I tried and tried but changing the way I hold him or the side he was on or biting my lip... nothing helped 'cause I was WEAK to the CORE. Sure I was fit as a cat but after the cesarian, I took 1,5 months off from everything and just ate right and went on walks. I loved the way my body was coming back but I didn't love the way I had NO TIME to get out of the house every day and get FITTER and BETTER.


I tried a lot of different "quick tricks" and changed my diet around every month but eventually, it was in the SMALL MUSCLES and LITTLE MOVEMENTS that saved my body from going totally chronicle...
Yoga and Pilates helped me in more ways than I can even admit to myself... After all that bodybuilding and eating like an animal and being crazy and loud... after all that and having a wonderful little boy--- this mother turned into a New Mom.
And I keep living that New Mom life every day :)

So DO NOT give up if you are suffering from joint pains or your loved one is (but doesn't have the guts to admit it). The movements "of a neutral spine" can and WILL help anyone, man or woman, even children, to focus on the little muscles that we all need to support our body!

Never give up and always stay thankful about your Good Day!
:)

Some more home spa stuff!

I tested the "olive oil and coffee" thigh and butt treatment.
The shower was slippery as HELL but it felt great and I am going to do it again next week :)

I mixed coffee (the basic grains) with olive oil and just rubbed it to my thighs and glutes in the shower. Then I washed myself and I washed the shower and walls and kiddo and the stuff I had used (a cup and a spoon)...

Never the less I felt great that night and in the morning my legs were still shining like brand new (from the oil)!


Have great day/night everyone!!!
;)
