Sun Salutation…

Sun Salutation

… finally I got the infographic for Sun Salutation done. 🙂 I can now share the sequence with everyone.

Anyways, did you know?

Stiffness of the body can be due to 3 main causes.
1. Muscular tension/ muscle bulk.
2. Tightness in the tension/ ligaments.
3. Toxic deposits in the joints.

By practicing Surya Namaskar also known as Sun Salution, it stretches, massages, tones and stimulates all the muscles, vital organs and physical parts by alternatively flexing the body backwards and forwards.

Here is a series of 12 easy-to-follow steps. Repeat both side of the legs to complete 1 set. Let’s do 5 sets a day, 3 times a week or everyday if possible. 🙂

Happy practice and have a lovely evening.
Love and peace, Melle.

Arty-Day…

painting

… I am so not focus and mistakes are repeatedly done at work. I need a break and stop pushing myself.

I guess it must be a calling to get in touch with my brushes. Okay, let’s paint! Poor thing. It has been waiting for me since looooong ago.

So happy that I am so happy painting. Hope none of my clients read this. Opps…
Have a nice Wednesday all.

Love and Peace,
Melle

Tat-too

Aww… so beautiful how I wish it’s a real one. I am sincerely happy for my ex-creative director whom is now running a business with her partner at That2Tattoo.

They do temporary tattoos with air-brush. It is fast, no pain, no swelling or burning and it lasts UP TO 7 days. Best of all, it’s not permanent that’s the idea. It’s also a great idea for us (me) who always wanted another tattoo. So I tried one on left arm. I really really do like it. It is super cool.

Back to That2Tattoo. Here’s what they have to say.

Who we are
We are two enthusiasts who really believe in fun, with no REGRETs in Life. We always wanted to get tattoos but never had the courage. Who never dreamed of getting a tattoo but fear of regrets after? We found this; temporary tattoo, it is painless and even better it is NOT Permanent. NO pain, NO Scar, NO Swelling, NO Burning… tattoos air-brushed sprayed on.

Why us?
We are passionate in what we believe in; we do it because we LOVE it. that2tattoo is about new tattoo lifestyle; is a place for people of all ages who love getting ‘inked’ and want inspiration.

It’s a rainy Monday night. Let’s call it a day. Good night, friends.
Luv, Melle.

Happy Saturday…

doodle

….  I was doing this while waiting for a friend of mine for dinner. It’s not that she is late. I am early instead. I rather be the early one so that I can spend some alone moment doing something that makes me feel good and happy. Yeah, I doodled. Enjoy every bit of it. 😀

Today, I will continue with my experiment with GOPAKO. Hope that I also have some extra time to doodle. 😀  I wish you all a happy weekend. Luv, Melle.

I should be so happy, happy… happy… happy…

portable sewing machine

… I should be so happy in ❤.

Yay !! I’ve finally got what I wanted since this post.  Gorgeous !!  This machine does not have smockering feature. I mean, no machines from Singer have that just yet. No worries, it’s okay. I will learn and I believe it’s gonna be fun doing it manually. =)

Oh~ me sewing my very first skirt there. I am ❤‘ing it.

I always believe in this ~ “Just because something is not happening for you right now, doesn’t mean that it will not happen.”

Now, go do what you ❤ and ❤ what you do. Have a little faith in yourself. =)
❤ Melle

So…

… it is so not cool to fall sick. Herbs, pills, syrup, capsules, tablets, everything in. Med makes me weak. So not cool at all. Hmmm…

Then finally, Kunjal. Be strong and courageous and do it. Well, I don’t really like doing it and not sure whether it’s supposed to come with detox effect or not. But admittedly, it’s kinda cool. =)

Anyways, I am back !! I wish y’all a great weekend, keep smiling and stay healthy. Yee-Haa !!

Happy Birthday…

Now play the song, clap your hands, stomp your feet and move your body to the beat. Let’s twist a bit too. (yeah!!)

First day of school…

dressmaking

… so happy and unconsciously, I skipped like a school kid while on the way to school. Aiks… luckily no one caught me in the act. And teacher Kim said, “You are a smart one. You are now learning the second lesson on your first day.” And a pat on my shoulder. Cute thing. =D
