Country Chic: Outfit of the Day

By Elma B.

“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.”-Leonardo da Vinci

Me away from the city enjoying the fresh country air

I have done my best to adhere to the above mentioned quote of taking the time to escape your everyday rut to clear your mind. Thus, every now and then, get away from the city noise (or your everyday life noise) and escape to the country. The vibe of the country is calming and peaceful, and the air is fresh, which does wonders for the skin. 

I am sure you have noticed that after staying cooped inside for a while, your skin looses its glow and your under-circles and/or skin tone darken. To heal the mind and your outer physique, escape from the city and enjoy the beauty of mother nature. Walk in the grass (with bare feet if necessary) to reconnect with the earth and rid your head of all the accumulated pollution. When you come back to the city (or your everyday life), your problems will appear smaller and your mind calmer. 

Me, enjoying the country sun...
