{Halloween Craze not Eco Friendly}

The POWER people of our World, only 1%, have turned the other 99% into Consumer Slaves. 

With all their propaganda via media commercials etc. they make people work harder and harder for things they don't need!

These Compliant Consumer Slaves are paying taxes to their governments, in the form of Sales Tax etc.

This is me, at Costco where they were/are pushing stacks of merchandise for Halloween...

Indeed, the West is being Controlled and Manipulated to BUY - BUY ever more!

The invention of so many seasonal things for which people are being brain washed to buy, is almost endless...

Halloween is one of them.

How much will end up in the landfill? Not very Eco Friendly!

Don't we think ahead anymore?

What kind of planet will be passed on to future generations... A scary thought!

This is the main reason, aside from the limited personal budget, that we never ever invest in anything like that mass produced 'STUFF'...

How about you?

{Contemplating Cutting my Hair...}

As mentioned in my previous post, this summer I have been Contemplating Cutting my Hair.

For several reasons, being 'UNE FEMME D'UN CERTAIN ÂGE' and considering also the fact that my hair suffered a great deal five years ago from all the Prednisone I took after bing paralyzed...
So, I'm telling you that I'm not as brave as blogger friend Deborah from The Beautiful Matters who showed us her very brave step: Another hair update after she already embraced her SILVER HAIR.

On August 23... Still rather happy with my longer length.
Being almost at retirement age (YEP), it makes one think.
Growing OLD gracefully is not always easy.
I've been blessed for having kept my figure since age 15.
Fitting in a size 4, sometimes a 6, or 34 and 36 European, makes for lots of bargains!
This is one of them, a lovely silk Escada skirt in 3 layers with an Escada Elements top.
Outlet bargains that I treasure.
Shoes are old pumps from the 80s from  Switzerland.

Had those heels cut down as I 'HATE' very high heels...
Here you can see my SILVER HAIR!

Contemplating; YES!
Never opted for dying my hair, due to my dear husband being two decades older.
That would look very odd!
Just trying to keep it healthy and for that purpose, at times a generous cut is very positive.

Have you stood before such a decision at times?

{Summer Bliss on our Balcony - Indian Summer}

On September 5, we snapped these photos on the balcony.

The lawn has seldom been this green; true Summer Bliss!

It makes one happy to see a lush garden!

Wearing my green Marc Cain top and green Escada stretch cotton skirt.
We do enjoy our Vintage Woodworks balustrades out of polyurethane. 

Looking at our felines, down on the driveway...

My shoes are also Escada.

Wearing my silver hair barrettes from Bali, Indonesia.

Fond memories!

Showing you my long(er) hair as I have it short now!

Will show you later...

Happy New Week!
