For some reason when I was reading Graeme Simsion's book "The Rosie Project" I kept thinking about the Rouché's theorem. I don't know why really since it does not have much to do with the book (nothing really). You see in complex analysis, the Rouché's theorem is a statement about the zeros and poles of meromorphic functions. It is named after the French mathematician Eugène Rouché and of course has nothing to do with a man that eats a lobster…
I love my boobs! Funny I grant you but it is by no way an exaggeration. That's the reality, and I'm not afraid to say it: Yes I love my boobs! To tell you the truth, not long ago I saw a video that advocated a lot of self-confidence, the fact of taking full responsibility and dressing as we see fit. In the course of the video, she told us about her flat chest and how she wasn't ashamed of…
I have always battled with self-esteem problems, it was more chronic when I was young. Growing up is hard and finding how to fit in has a lot of complicated facets that not everyone figures out right away. And if you don't have that head start it takes that much longer to learn that it is alright to be different. When I stopped worrying about what others thought of me and started taking myself seriously things got so much better….
Friends, family, a crackling fire, warm blankets, soft armchairs, natural materials, candles everywhere, soft lights… to be together, to share a meal in a cozy and warm environment… enjoy the simple things in life with people we love, this is the recipe for happiness! I completely adore this way of living. When my sister-in-law asked me to create a theme for a get together I immediately thought of the nice contrast I could have between the unfinished wood and the…
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for almost anything. Don't believe me? Give it a try. Neurotransmitters called endorphins are released when you smile. Endorphins make us feel happier and less stressed. While the release of endorphins is increased, the stress hormone cortisol is reduced. Laughing expands the lungs, stretches the muscles in the body and stimulates homeostasis. A good laugh can be an effective way to release emotions. Smiling is an attractive expression,…
Okay, I will rephrase that, we almost all have complexes. You know that thing you hate above all else, that you want to hide, that shames you, and that you make an effort to have fixed. We all have at least one. In some of us it is more important than in others. Sometimes it's a big nose, sometimes it's our thighs, a small chest (previously this was me, among other things), ears or even feet. In fact you can…
Hello readers/guests/family, you're all great I hope… Today I decided to write about something that used to be a topic in my life. It is something that can make a sudden appearance in our lives or it might be a steady companion, one that affects many people on a daily basis: insomnia. It's never been fun to lay their awake when you should be soundly asleep in dreamland. The thoughts that run through my head at those times were the…
