Never Stop Dreaming.










I have always had an interest in dream catchers. 
Not only are they beautiful, but the meaning behind them is so unique and filled with ancient beliefs.

A dream catcher can be so mesmerizing, from its colour to its design and there are always so many to chose from in a shop. I love dream catchers because they add a calmness to a room and a sense of throwing out the bad parts and saving the good ones.

Dream catchers are the most facinatitng tradition of the Native Americans and have been apart of their culture for many generations. 
They believe that the nights air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. It is believed that the dream catcher wil catch the dreams as they flow by, the good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher and slide down the soft feathers or strings to the sleeping person bellow, where as, the bad dreams would get caught up in the web and perish when hit by the first light of the new day. 
The hoop of the dream catcher symbolises strength and unity, and is held in the highest esteem in the Native American culture.

Today dream catchers have become decor to homes and many people do not understand the meaning and culture behind them. I believe that to truly see the beauty of something, one needs to understand its true meaning.


Lots of Love

Typo Lenses

Image
I have recently discovered the smart phone lenses that Typo have brought out. They are absolutely amazing lenses that you can attach to any smart phone and take artistic shots without the need of the new specialized cameras. I have two types of lenses. The first one is a fish eye lens, so it has a rounded effect. Almost like you looking at the photo through a fish's eye. It creates amazing shots of scenic views or very creative pictures of you and your friends. The second type of lens is a kaleidoscope. This lens can create very unusual but eye catching photo's. When taking pictures with this lens, I would recommend to take them of single object in order to get the full effect. Both of these lenses are so much fun to play around with and make beautiful creations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Lots of Love

1. Explore the Water Coconut woods on a basket boat This was one of the things I was most looking forward to doing in Hoi An. We did a tour and it ended with a ride on basket boat. Firstly, riding on the actual basket boat was a huge adventure. It amazing to see how they paddle it.And then, the beautiful scenery. Traveling through these woods was absolutely stunning and picturesque.  2 . Walking through the Ancient Town at Night Hoi An quickly became one of my favorite places I have visited so far, this was a lot to do with the look of the streets at night. The town is incredibility lite up by lanterns hanging from shops, restaurants and across the streets. There is a buzz in the air like no other place I have been to.
