Happy New Year dear Jazmine!! Happy to read you again!

Beauty is as sacred as anything else; in Shakta Tantra, Lalita Tripura Sundari is actually that beauty and grace as goal and journey. And Abhinavagupta dedicated his life to the sofisticated philosophy of aesthetics. I would never see the pursuit of beauty is superficial, nothing is really, if done with the non dual consciousness that says everything is a door to Wholeness. Jai Ma!

I love this piece of writing as I looooooove decluttering and having almost no things! And living on a boat, I just have to!! I do this cleaning and decluttering weekly! No space for too many things, and the less weight we carry, the better the boat sails! Win win for my home and my mental peace!

Lots of love!

Excellent writing, and inspiring! And is that your house in the “HOME” section, Tuscan villa, greco-roman statue and all. Plus, love the “pizza and wine” part - LOL

PS: Your perfume selections (TikTok) are spot on: trying a few samples. Thank you! 🥰

Hi Nino! The photograph is of the interior of Chateau de Barbentane in France. A true gem of inspo! I am thrilled you enjoyed the fragrance recommendations. Cheers to you and Happy New Year!

Valid point about the dopamine withdrawal and tbh I have my scepticism about no- or even low-buy challenges. Also, I would check out a clothes swapping event if you can. Good luck!
