Haven't they learned by now - funny story by Seadbeady

Hi There..... Are you a fan of story telling? Would you like to hear a funny story?

I sure hope so..... Because I really can't help myself..... Weird things happen to me sometimes..... I am not always in full control..... There is some outer source that drives me from time to time..... It is called..... The brain 😂

My funny story is somewhat based on the most recent developments here in Belgium..... We are having our second Corona wave and they have strengthened the rules..... No more fun shopping..... You are supposed to go shop on your own and the maximum time is half an hour..... I was talking about it to my physiotherapist when my mind started spinning..... And this is the result 😁


Haven't they learned by now - funny story by Seadbeady 😍

Seadbeady had been restless all morning..... She just needed to go out.
'Mom'..... 'Yes Darling'..... 'I really need to go. I just can't take it any longer. I am fed up with this lockdown. If I don't get out today I swear my head is gonna explode'..... 'Come on dear, you know it's dangerous out there'..... 'I know mom but I'm bored stiff. I am going and that's final'

She took her bike out and put on her mask, and off she went to the center.....Halfway she had to stop to get the damp of her glasses

'Darn'..... She said..... 'I forgot to put on the shaving cream'

The shaving cream would have kept her glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask..... She left her bike in the cycle parking and hurried to the Shopping Mall..... Seadbeady didn't lose time window shopping..... She went straight to her favorite store..... It shocked her that some elderly people were chatting in the middle of her path.....  They were not wearing their masks properly..... She wanted to avoid coming too close to them 

'Really'..... She thought..... 'Haven't they learned by now'

But she didn't let it get to her..... She was determined to get herself that new outfit she needed..... So she took a basket and a timer and popped into the shop..... There were so many cute outfits in this new collection that she completely lost track of time..... She finally decided to go and fit some things

'Ok'..... She thought..... 'First I am gonna try on this gorgeous pink T-shirt and if I am lucky it will be a perfect match to this white skirt'

She had been so preoccupied that at first, she hadn't even noticed her timer going off..... It made an unbearable sound

'Oh My God'..... 'No'..... 'Not now'..... 'I haven't even tried on my skirt'

She promptly put everything back in her basket and rushed out of the fitting booth..... As she looked up she noticed all the people around eyeballing her

'Did she take up all her time'..... She overheard an old lady asking her husband..... 'I think so'..... He replied..... 'The Youth of today'..... 'Haven't they learned by now'

The end 😀

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Best Tips on where to find Sustainable Jewelry - BeKoffee Handmade Jewelry

Hi There..... Do you like coffee, handmade jewelry, or both of them? What about sustainable jewelry?

I love handmade jewelry but never drink coffee..... But I can't say I dislike coffee..... At least not anymore 😁

Am I talking in riddles..... Great, that was my intention.....  But riddles are there to be solved..... Right 😄

But first things first..... I want to tell you about the surprise I got just 2 days ago..... I received a package in the mail..... Don't you just love surprises..... I do so I was pretty curious to find out what was inside..... But as we always do nowadays because of the virus..... Just to be safe..... We get the mail or packages from the postman and leave them to rest for a day..... Did you know that the virus can survive up to 24 hours on cardboard? 😟

So yesterday I unpacked my surprise..... And my excitement grew even more..... Ok, there is no way around it..... I just have to show you why..... One part of the surprise to pique your curiosity 😋


You got to see more than I did when I opened the box..... This is what I saw..... A box filled with a lot of burlap bags 😉


So I unpacked a little further and laid all those cute little bags out in front of me 😃


That's quite a collection..... Right..... Wouldn't you love to get a surprise package filled with handmade jewelry like that..... I am sure you do..... So I am not gonna keep you in suspense any longer..... It was a gift from BeKoffee 😍

I can hear you thinking..... Yes, I do..... I have a sixth sense..... It picks up vibes from miles away..... You are thinking 'What is this BeKoffee that I have never heard about'.... Am I right..... Or am I right 😂

It's a Portuguese brand of handmade jewelry and other fashion accessories that are made of coffee grounds..... No not ground coffee of course..... But the waste product from brewing coffee..... This way they contribute in a positive way to the economy..... Calling for less waste by giving a new meaning to coffee grounds..... I just love that so many people are trying to make us more aware of our ecological footprint 😊

And there is more..... Their handmade jewelry is inspired by nature and human activity too..... Inspired by Portugal and the best it has to offer..... With cultural details from the North to the South of Portugal and their islands..... I know you are on the edge of your seat now..... Curious to see what was in all those other cute little bags  😁


That was an extra gift from them..... A piece of exfoliating soap of ground coffee..... Haven't tried it out yet but it won't be long before I do 😀




The 2 above are souvenirs..... They could be a great reminder of a trip to Portugal..... I do plan to go there one day..... Not too far away from Belgium and they have a Mediterranean climate..... Just perfect if you ask me 😄






Now, don't you be mean and ask me what I like most..... I really wouldn't know which one to choose and I actually don't have to either..... So many beautiful pieces but I am only writing one blog post..... Am I being mean myself maybe..... No worries..... That's not me..... You will be seeing a lot of those pieces pass by on my Instagram account..... And I will be tagging them too so you can easily find their Instagram..... First one will be in a few hours from now 😊

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Great tips for shopping based on zero waste concept

Hi There..... Do you feel safe?

I have to say..... I don't feel that safe..... Not as much as I used too..... Before this crazy virus came into our lives..... Who knew that it would have such an impact on our lives 😟

Things were getting brighter here in Belgium..... But in the last few days, the number of infected people has been going up again..... I really don't want to have to go in lockdown again..... Some people don't seem to take the rules serious and I really don't get that..... Maybe it's me that's crazy but as Kevin Spacey said 'Sometimes it's the crazy people who turn out to be not so crazy' 😁

Although they did tweak the rules somewhat over here..... You now have to wear your mask in every shop, mall, supermarket, musea, library,..... Practically everywhere inside..... So I was pretty stoked to receive this gorgeous mask from MagicDesignbyElyssa 😄


Pretty fashionable right..... Aha you are jealous now, aren't you..... I bet you would like to know all about this shop..... No worries, I am not gonna keep it to myself 😃


Here's a side view from the mask..... It feels really comfortable and it even comes with an activated carbon filter..... And I think it's so very pretty..... If I have to wear a mask I would rather have one like this than a plain and boring white mask..... Although not the best idea if I would want to rob a store maybe..... They might recognize my mask in an instant 😎

Elyssa's Etsy shop is built on zero waste concept..... Sounds great right..... But what does it mean..... This is what Wikipedia says about it..... The conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of all products, packaging, and materials, without burning them, and without discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health..... I know you might have to read it twice to fully understand..... But I think that's quite cool and really admirable 😍

They hand create their items custom made..... they have designer printed T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, face mask and all kinds of other things..... Let me show you a selection of some of the things you can find in her shop 😄

Sunglasses 100% UVA and UVB protection


Fully Printed Phone Case for iPone models


Washable Kids Face mask with filter pocket


Deckchair Sling, sun lounge chair, picnic


Hoodie Dress, Jumper Dress, Relaxed Fit


Washable Face Mask with Activated Carbon Filter


Neck Gaiter


Toddler Tee, T-shirt Big Brother


Quarantaine Magic Mok Gift


You know..... It may come as a surprise to you but Elyssa knows things about you..... I am not joking..... She really does..... She knows that you are unique..... And she wants to inspire your life with the magic designs printed especially for you 😍

By the way if you would like to more about her masks..... Just read her blog post about it

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where can I find some stunning handmade earrings

Hi There..... Do you like jewelry?

What a stupid question..... Right..... Who doesn't like jewelry..... I suppose there will be some people who don't but most of us do 😃

Ok..... I have another question for you..... Do you like handmade?

I do..... I am a big fan of all kinds of handmade items and as some of you know I am very creative myself..... There are a lot of good reasons I could mention why you should choose handmade over machine made..... It's a labor of love..... Every piece is unique..... The artist will be thrilled when you choose to buy from him or her..... I could go on naming reasons for hours but there's a good chance you could fall asleep reading..... And I still have a lot to tell you 😄

But first I wanted to show off these earrings I received from Curpic..... Gorgeous..... Right..... No, I wasn't talking about myself but about the earrings of course 😀


I know that you probably haven't heard that name before..... It's Susana's Etsy shop from Ireland..... She is inspired mostly by nature and animals..... She likes to create special things and her main goal is to make her customers happy..... What more could you want 😃

And it wasn't just the earrings but also the way they were packed..... In a beautiful white box


They could be the perfect gift for someone..... A Christmas gift maybe..... What? Too soon..... Ok, that may be just a tiny bit too soon..... But as Franz Liszt said 'Beware of missing chances..... Otherwise, it may be altogether too late someday'  😍

But before you decide to buy these..... Let me show you some of the other beautiful handmade items she has in her shop 😃

Mint green natural granite summer earrings


Handmade autumn earrings, burgundy flower


Autumn Leaf necklace - Woodland Autumn Fall leaf necklace


Blue moon and white leaf pattern earrings


RHEA shell fan polymer clay sea earring


Small canvas painting - Spring sakura Fuji landscape


Christmas Gingerbread House Necklace


Square Portugal blue tile earrings, azulejo blue tile


DAPHNE in mint green Starfish polymer clay


She also created a 15% coupon code for you..... Isn't that great.... So when you do think of buying something from her shop just follow the link below to immediately get the discount 😃

How to connect with European Brands or Small shops and Bloggers or Influencers

Hi There.....Would you like to connect with others?

Yes..... Cool..... I might have the perfect solution for you..... No..... Ok, I am cool with that too..... Be on your own..... Lock yourself in..... But if you change your mind and have the need to do something really wild..... Come and join us   😃

So what's this idea of mine..... A while ago I made a Facebook group Connect Europe Brands Small Shops Bloggers Influencers

based on a picture from PublicDomainPictures on Pixabay

I noticed there were a lot of similar connecting groups but no specific groups for us Europeans.....  So instead of waiting for someone else to create one..... I thought why not dive into it myself..... So now I am in complete control and I've got the power..... Like in the song from Snap 😎

But of course, you would like to know what this group is for..... It's ok to be curious..... Well, at least this time 😀

So the intention of the group is as its name already says..... To connect on the one hand Bloggers and Influencers and on the other hand Brands or Small Shops from Europe.

picture from William Iven on Pixabay 

There are polls in the group where you can fill in which country you come from..... That could be a first way to connect..... With fellow countrymen..... Or women..... For Example, we created a Facebook messenger group with all our members in the group from Belgium  😁

There is another poll in the group where you can fill in if you are Blogger, Influencer, or otherwise Brand or Small Shop..... So that is another way you can connect with others 😊

Brands or Small shops will be able to make a post in the group in which they reach out to Bloggers or Influencers to promote their product...... And in the same way Bloggers or Influencers can make a post to reach out to Brands or Small shops..... Post do still need to be approved by me or Marcela..... Who is the moderator of the group 😍

picture from TheAndrasBarta on Pixabay

If you are new at blogging or a new influencer and you are looking to give free blog posts in order to grow your audience..... You are welcome to post in the group as well 😍

Good idea?.....Or not?..... What do you think?  😯

Since it is still a pretty new group we only have 189 members as I am writing this blog..... The bigger the group gets the more opportunities it will bring..... So I beg you please please come and join us..... I am not on my knees though because I have a knee prosthesis and can't sit on my knees anymore..... But I hope my begging will suffice 😇

I am also open to all kinds of suggestions on improving this group 😄

So let's get this show on the road and start by joining us..... What have you got to lose ..... And it's completely free of charge 😂

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where to find some cool handmade sunglasses for this summer

Hi There..... Do you like to wear sunglasses?

I actually can hardly do without when I am driving..... Although I don't really wear them that much otherwise 😊

But tell me..... Did you know that today is National Sunglasses Day..... I didn't know either.....  Haha..... I just saw it on my special calendar 😀

Of course..... You want to know where this is coming from..... Well, at least I do..... So if you don't..... You are out of luck..... I am gonna tell you anyhow 😋

It's about celebrating the importance of wearing ultraviolet protective Sunwear and eyewear..... This celebration dates as far back as the 14th century..... In China judges used eyewear made of smoke-colored quartz to mask their emotions..... If you want to know more about this day you can read about it here..... https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sunglasses-day/

Eyes are indeed a huge tell..... But I think they had better wear a mask then..... Your whole face can tell others how you are feeling if you ask me 😁

I did read there also that it's actually more important to wear sunglasses than we think..... It seems that these UV rays can inflict serious damage to your vision..... I think it's high time to buy me some better sunglasses...... I do have a pair lying around here..... But they are ancient..... I tried them on again last week but it makes me look like a piece of antique 😂

Well, I guess you know me..... And I wouldn't be me if I wasn't gonna share some of my finds of handmade sunglasses on Etsy with you 😍

Extravagant Round Sunglasses / Transparent Sunglasses



Hoentjen, wooden sunglasses - Glass beach


Mario sunglasses geek gift for her nerd birthday


Adult Blue Lolita Heart Shaped Gold Frame



Women's Pretty Purple Flower Sunglasses


Retro Wedding Sunglasses Stag Party Sunglasses Bachelor


Sparkling on Trend Aviator Sunglasses adorned


NATUREJEWEL "Leopard" wooden sunglasses


Retro style round hexagon octagon sunglasses Celebrity


Chique Alain Afflelou, Franse vintage, Classic


I bet you are surprised that they have handmade sunglasses on Etsy too..... And did you see anything you like 😍

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

What we love to do at Blankenberge

Hi There.....Do you like to be at the seaside?

I just love it..... I love everything about the sea..... Walking towards the Pier..... Having a cool drink on a terras..... Shopping at the seafront..... Enjoying a game of miniature golf..... Even though I almost always lose..... Enjoying dinner with a view on the beach and the sea..... Watching the sun go down into the Ocean in the evening 😊

And I can say we had it all the last couple of days at Blankenberge..... Just about a bit more than an hour drive but still, we decided to stay in a hotel before the summer rush starts 😌

We have the luxury of having 2 grown-up kids so there is nothing to keep us from taking a short break before everyone else does 😂

And you bet that I wanted to share it with you..... Making everyone a bit envious..... Even though we didn't venture far..... No, I am just sharing because I was able to take some wonderful shots of mother nature..... And I wouldn't want to deprive you of the pleasure of looking at these shots of mine 😇

Time to show you those crazy beautiful shots of mine..... A little exaggeration never hurt anyone 😉

IMG_20200622_2152172.jpg

I don't know why but I am a sucker for sunsets on the beach 🙃

IMG_20200622_192434  kopie.jpg

And this seagull was so nice to pose for us on the pier

IMG_20200622_192311.jpg

So I thought..... If this seagull can do it..... So can I 😁

And I just had to have a picture in front of those beautiful rose bushes at the miniature golf..... My hair all messed up by the wind 😄

DSC04661  kopie.JPG

And how about these lovely flower bushes..... The Bees were fans of them for sure..... Just don't ask me any names 🙂

DSC04670 2.jpg

And this beautiful flower bed right next to the miniature golf court..... Irresistible..... Right 😊

Well..... Was I exaggerating..... Or not 😚

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day
