Storage for your small space
Of course, logic would dictate that to free space should be avoided furnishing. But there is always the possibility of cheating a strand by opting for multifunctional furniture. For example, you can buy a bed, or even a sofa bed, with built-in chests at the bottom; it will be convenient to dispose of your belongings, your books, your DVDs or your wardrobe. Take advantage of the heights of your accommodation which is never suppose they offer usable spaces: shelves here and there will avoid the mess or the bric-a-brac on the ground. On the other hand, we cannot dwell enough on the storage boxes that allow you to stuff all the objects that serve you little or not at all. And if you're a bit of a do-it-yourselfer, it's always a good idea, in tight spaces, to install sliding panels that will add cachet and vitality to your sweet-home. Written by David
Show your creativity
We tend to believe that we manifest our creativity through an artistic discipline, but our originality is expressed not only through the creation of a drawing or the writing of a book or even a stage play in the theater. We are the artists of our life! This is a belief that would have the merit of being integrated. Louise Hay said that we create every moment of our existence, from the smallest cell in our body to our emotional reactions. It covers how we live the relationship, live our bank account, perceive ourselves as we are (or are not), in short, all this has an obvious impact on us. We can be creative in how to concoct a dish, we can be creative in how we handle conflicts that affect others just as we can be in the development of a method that simplifies the way we work. That, in a very small part, is what we manifest. Written by David
The planet of Saturn
Saturn takes 30 years to go around the zodiac and thus takes two and a half years to cross a sign. According to its position, Saturn induces wisdom, recoil, discipline, obedience. It governs ambitions and sets a framework for stabilizing evolution. It is a cold and austere planet but whose effect is essential to structure an existence. It is the second planet, after Jupiter, which concerns a whole generation, disciplined or rebellious, according to the crossed sign. Saturn encourages maturity, self-control, and indicates how one behaves in the face of the trials of life. Saturn is symbolically connected to the sign of Capricorn. Written by David
The mysteries of Stonehenge
Of all the archaeological sites, Stonehenge is one of the most famous; megalithic edifice consisting of a set of stone blocks arranged in concentric circles in the plain of Salisbury, England. Much ink has flowed to explain its origin ... The extraterrestrials would be the authors and Merlin the enchanter would have participated in its construction by bringing the stones in one night. Built more than 4000 years ago, it was one of the first riddles. What means and techniques were used to skillfully store these huge pieces on top of each other? We know that this site was a temple of cure. Far from being randomly stored, the perfectly aligned stones served to indicate the point of sunrise and sunset; the moon could also be used as a calendar to predict the arrival of the seasons. The stones were transported through a route of 170 km, which at the time was a real feat. Ropes and logs were the tools used by this society interested in the observation of the stars.

Free your smartphone...
...and increase your productivity. Free your smartphone from your email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... and test for 5 days. What? But it's not okay! Me, never without my Facebook! But because it has changed the lives of some people who have seen their concentration and productivity increase significantly, it can still be good to test. Indeed, we sometimes interfere with ourselves by letting ourselves go to gestures that seem entertaining (addictive, in reality) but that sometimes do not have, on closer inspection, much to bring us. most of the time, we are not in a situation where we can respond to our emails or Facebook queries (or spam or ads) because we are in the movies or sitting with friends at the table a coffee. This may be to experiment to judge the possible benefits. Give us your impressions! Written by David
7 things you should throw right away
Spring cleaning time has come! Without overly minimalism, it is sometimes good to clean up at home and discard (or recycle, give or sell); once you have acted, you will feel so much better. Take a week to list the stuff and get rid of it. 1st thing: the bills: it is not useful to keep them, especially when they date. In addition, it is now possible to scan them or put them on the cloud. 2nd: Ditto for the manuals of the household appliances and small appliances. You can find everything as a PDF on the internet. 3rd: old books or paperbacks that have been screwed up or chipped that you have not read in a century. 4th: the fifty T-shirts that you keep for housework or weeding in your garden, it's crowded and good: keep 3 maxi and swing or give the rest. 5th: Expired medications that you no longer need: collect them and take them to the pharmacy. 6th: all the pencils and notebooks barely used and scribbled that do not work; keep only your beautiful Moleskine. 7th: all the makeup you no longer use, the blush too brown, the eye shadow that makes you look alien... In short, you can make room. Written by David
Scrapbooking: the art of tinkering without pretension!
To make a scraps book, amateurs of practical work will find their account because it is very fun, and it calls for free creativity. First, think about gathering some pictures around the same theme (the birth of your baby, a wedding, holidays...). The choice of your papers is very important: printed, plain, acid-free, vellum, mulberry: go hunting at a well-stocked stationer. Then, resize your photos to crop them while highlighting thematic elements, given free rein to your imagination with cuts in square, circle, polygon, rhombus etc. Keep the falls that could serve you further on a creative level. Highlight your photos on pop and fun backgrounds. Comment on your photos with decorative titles, you can use colorful alphabets. You do not have to load your pages but, on the contrary, air them to highlight your photos. Finally, the golden rule is to have fun valuing this slice of life you choose, no matter if it's a bit awkward. Written by David
Gemini and diets
Gemini has a relationship to food of the most atypical. The idea that he will eat matters to him more than what he actually swallows. Three-quarters of the time, he just nibbles throughout the day and when he finally decides to sit down to the table, it turns out that he often has eyes bigger than the belly and finishes only rarely his plate. By pecking day and night, Gemini may see a malfunction of his metabolism. Specializing in small snacks as quickly swallowed as forgotten, his nibbling may be imperceptibly the cause of some extra pounds. Written by David
The slime for parents!
If you have children, especially teenagers, you may have heard about this weird thing from another planet. The slime (pronounced "slaim") is a viscous and colorful paste that does not stick and comes from the name of the green ghost "Jelly" in the movie Ghostbusters. This is more and more fury on social networks and represents no other interest than to mix or knead to relax and have fun. This creative craze gives our budding chemists the delirious desire to add their own personal touch with beads, glitter, pearls and so on. Of course, we can get this pot paste, but it is recommended to take the box to European standards, it is more careful because of "borax", the detergent that has been controversial because it causes burns if it is poorly dosed. The other small problem, but preventable, is to avoid putting all over his clothes or walls. So, be careful! Written by David
Waiting for spring...
If you have exotic desires, know that Cuba can be a beautiful destination thanks to its mild season that extends from November to May with an average of 24°. The island can satisfy as much your thirst for cultural discoveries with Havana, its capital with rich heritage, as your desires for relaxation with its beaches of white sand and turquoise waters in Varadero where the temperature is ideal. In the evening, in the street of the legendary Bar Calle 62, we dance the salsa and you can directly follow in the discotheque Havana Club, nearby. The Latino hits set fire to the track and the crowd dancers waddling glued-tight until dawn. If you are fonder of Cuban music live, you can migrate to the side of the Casa de la Musica where groups of excellent artistic level occur. And if you enjoy more rock waves, go to the Beatles Bar where very good Cuban rockers put the atmosphere on stage outdoors. It makes you want to go dancing? Written by David
