Σεβαστείτε το πένθος των οικογενειών…
Υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που σήμερα θρηνούν για τα παιδιά τους και θα τα αποχαιρετήσουν για το τελευταίο ταξίδι τους… Δεν χρειάζεται να συμφωνούμε ιδεολογικά, θρησκευτικά, πολιτικά ή όπως αλλιώς έχει σημασία για τον καθέναν μας, ώστε να επιδείξουμε μία στοιχειώδη ευγένεια και μια πολιτισμένη στάση συμπαράστασης…

Kyriazi Freres (also spelled Kyriazi Frères) was a cigarette manufacturing company established in 1873 in Egypt. The company was founded by Ioannis Kyriazis, together with his brothers Efstathios and Epaminondas, although his other two brothers, George and Dimitris also played an active role in the company.
The company was formally established in 1873, as advertised on all their products. In 1897 the brothers constructed a purpose-built factory in the Cairo district of Tewfikieh and they employed over 500 workers to manufacture hand-made cigarettes.The company expanded due to a successful advertising campaign and their brands became known across Europe and the Middle East.
Even under the influence of difficult conditions, we all may experience joy from everyday little things. Personally have never failed to believe that the smallest things can have the biggest impact on our life. A sweet word, a warm smile, a tender look, a graceful silence, a cup of tea just as you like it, a hi-miss-you quick call, a surprise silly-but-funny gift and so many more that can turn the table in a sec and may help to escape worries or problems at that point in time.
Being an adult requires a heavy effort in many and various fields but still… We all can choose how to handle the uncertainty of life. And as precious Life is, sometimes it doesn’t feel easy to wake up in the morning with a big smile on our face.
We only have to pay attention to all those small details that if they were suddenly stripped out of our everyday routine would leave a sense of emptiness. Kindness and dedication are valuable and worth seeking. Offer your caring attention generously and you will be surprised how joy and happiness will find ways to return back to you.
Some years ago, when I was fired from my last job, my best friend gave me this sign to hung over my desk. As stupid as it may seem this TRUTH LIST inspired me to build my own company.
- Human life is short
- Choose your battles
- Just do it
- Everything changes, every second
- Don’t wait for an apology to forgive
- It is what it is
- Silence is gold
- Some people are simply the wrong match for you
- What you own is not who you are
- It is not other people’s job to love you, only yours
- You live the life you create for yourself
- Everything is doable
- Thinking and doing is not the same
- Being busy doesn’t mean productive
- Some kind of failure always occurs before success
And guess what… Success came into my life and stay with me!

“Within lies a gypsy soul and a loving light that shines right from my heart to yours…
Welcome to my blog and thank you for taking the time to read a little about me. This is a loving space for all to share, inspire and be inspired. A place for the magic makers, the dreamers and conjurers, the wild at heart, the love makers, the freedom seekers, the light workers, to all those who long to express their inner worlds through creativity and love.
One of my deepest desires and joys in life is to be inspired and to inspire others. To awaken the joy, the love, and the freedom for creative self expression.
My ever expanding heart is so full of love, compassion, and acceptance for all beings, for our precious mother earth, and most importantly for myself. Love starts from within each of us, infinitely rippling and healing our world. I’m always willing to share my vulnerability and truth with the world, and to have the courage to be imperfect.
I’ve spent more than 15 years of my life working as a biomedical naturopath and healer. I specialised in the area of nutrigenomics and worked mostly with children with autism spectrum disorders, all over this amazing globe. It’s been a wonderful, rewarding career and I am so grateful for the honour and opportunity to be a part of healing another’s life. Now I have journeyed back to my creative roots and I am feeling so immensely blessed to have rediscovered this passion of mine. Leaping heart first into the realm of style, I have embarked upon one of the most healing journey’s of my life.
When I’m not styling and dreaming up visions, I’m nurturing my precious family. I’m blessed as a mother of two angels, married to a kindred soul (who also happens to be my incredibly gifted photographer). We are a Finnish – Australian – American family now living in the divine sunshine filled, beachy paradise Western Australia.
Each day I practice the simple act of breathing in love and breathing out gratitude, for all the blessings in my life.
To learn a little more about my journey, how I rediscovered myself, my passions and most importantly self love, READ MORE HERE
With love, light and gratitude,
Helen xx

Gallery Walls
Yes, they are back!!!
Whether it’s big, small or somewhere in between, creating a gallery with your favorite photos and art pieces can instantly elevate the style of any house.
Have in mind that this project is not something you can really knock out in a day. Needs patience and inspiration…. Take all the time you need for the preparation, categorize, testing and forming the perfect collection before you start hanging it on the wall.
First, you have to find the right wall, then you have to pick the photos or artworks that really inspire you. Both of those steps can be easy if you already have some pieces waiting to be used. If you just start your collection, most probably you are surrounded by a ton of “artworks” that have fallen out of your attention. Where?
Your old family photos inside a forgotten box, some handmade sketch made in a hurry with pencil and are still under the coffee table, an old book full of maps, seashells from your last trip to Santorini, a very old love letter, your kid’s paintings or some of their first clothes…. Yes, your house is a huge treasure box. Take a very good look around…
But the final step is the hard part… Frames!!! Are you wondering which one to use for each art piece? First of all, have a clear budget list and a confirmed sense of style that actually agree with your house. Visit as many frame stores as possible, to find the perfect-in-budget frames. Of course, e-commerce websites can be really helpful, like POTTERY BARN , IKEA , HABITAT or SIA etc.
Now you are ready to start assembling your gallery wall. It may need some days or weeks but the result will reward you with joy…

The company expanded due to a successful advertising campaign and their brands became known across Europe and the Middle East.
They had an outlet at 20 Cheapside, London, as well as agents in Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland. By 1901, Kyriazi Freres was exporting over 103 million cigarettes a year. Some years later the sons of Ioannis (Damianos and Constantinos b.1891-d.1962) opened custom-built factories in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (1922), and in Hamburg, Germany (1925).
Their most well-known brands were Aris, Astra, Conqueror Extra, Egyptian, Emir, Ferik, Finas, Ideal, Imperatore, Neptune, Special, and Zenith. These brands were awarded several quality awards at exhibitions and trade fairs.
About March. The name of March comes from Latin Martius, the first month of the earliest Roman calendar. It was named for Mars, the Roman god of war who was also regarded as a guardian of agriculture and an ancestor of the Roman people through his sons Romulus and Remus.
The month Martius was the beginning of the season for both farming and warfare, and the festivals held in his honor during the month were mirrored by others in October when the season for these activities came to a close.
Martius remained the first month of the Roman calendar year perhaps as late as 153 BC, and several religious observances in the first half of the month were originally new year’s celebrations. Even in late antiquity, Roman mosaics picturing the months sometimes still placed March first.
Welcome March and Spring!
We love warm and bright days of Spring.
Hello March
As I end one month and get ready to start another, I have to say, I’m really looking forward to enjoying the change of seasons. I have the honor of working with exceptional brands for their Search Engine Optimization strategy plan and the creation of their unique content & marketing.
I am looking forward to diving into March. It’s always fun to mix things up a bit when creating content for digital marketing research, photography brands, wedding planners, and doctors!
We are ready for our next adventure!
March challenge is to publish a new 800 -1000 words post every single day. Never in my life have I accomplished this schedule. Seems near to impossible but I will do my best to reach my goal: 31 posts!
What about you? What are your plans?
How are you stepping into the new month?
Every year when I am trying to write a note to my significant other seems like that all gather up to this conclusion…..You are my missing letter. Inspiration runs into our veins… This tango lasts for 22 years… That alone is the most romantic gesture, ever… Butterflies never left our room…So, Valentine is our favorite pet.
IdeaDeco is addicted to Valentine vibes…
What to post on Valentine’s Day
In case you own an eshop then you should post all your valentine-related products or special services. But if you don’t own an eshop then you should stay out of this trend. Now, for all hopeless romantics: spend the day with your significant other and stay away from social media.
