Looking closer .... / En regardant de près .... / Guardando più da vicino...

Against all social media canons I just wanted share with you a video where I look closer at a custom painting that has been recently completed : "Embracing the higher mystery".
It occurred to me that even with beautiful pics lots of details are lost which are really part of my style, so in a gulp of a celebration (for once), and even if the video is far to be perfect (my camera is an old one) I still hope you'll enjoy this !

"Embracing the higher mystery" - 02/2015 Custom Artwork

Contre toute les canons de médias sociaux je voulais partager avec vous une vidéo où on peut voir de plus près un tableau que j'ai récemment complété  : "Embracing the higher mystery".
Je pense que même avec des belles photos des nombreux détails sont perdus alors que font  vraiment partie de mon style, donc dans un élan d'auto célébration (pour une fois ! ), et même si la vidéo est loine d'être parfaite (mon appareil photo est un vieux machin) j' espère que vous apprécierez ça !

Contro tutti i canoni suggeriti dai social media attuali volevo condividere con voi un video dove si puo vedere da più vicino un quadro che ho recentemente finito : "Embracing the higher mystery".
Penso che anche con delle belle foto molti dettagli purtroppo si perdono ed é un peccato visto che fanno proprio parte del mio stile. Quindi in uno slancio di autocelebrazione (per una volta ! ), e anche se il video non é per nulla perfetto (la mia macchina fotografica é vecchiotta), spero che apprezzerete !

18 : Roses,birth and water / Roses, naissance et l'eau / Rose, nascita e acqua...

18 days left to the end of the 365 ACEOs project
with "A rose on a belly and a rose in".
I didn't do body paint ( I did a cast belly on my third pregnancy) neither I gave birth in water...I was suppose to try with my second child but he decides to born in a cab ;-)
What's your experience?

A voi, qual 'é la vostra esperienza?

"The beginning" - ACEO - 8/11/2013

How did/do you stay active during pregnancy (from twitter)

Question today on twitter from @fprmotherhood (http://www.thefprprogram.com/fr/), one member that I follow.
"How did/do you stay active during pregnancy?"

Uhmmmm.....
I must say that in all my three pregnancy the worse of it was coping with morning sickness...knowing that actually it was the whole day not just in the morning and they got worse a each pregnancy.

First pregnancy : I didn't do that much. I was still working in a office and I was leaving in Denmark. So a little bike (there you can easily bike everywhere!) and some pilates in the end when I got in maternity leave.

Second pregnancy (still in Denmark) : I had a two years old girl keeping me busy...and we were renting at a third floor without lift almost until the end of the pregnancy (then we changed appartment so put doing boxes and a moving as well ;-))
I biked a lot with the two years old in the back of my seat ....that has been usefull since I putted on less weight than first time.

Third pregnancy : more sickness and harder (the whole 9 months argh!!), more children (at the time 4 years old and 2 years old) to keep me busy, less weight putted on ;-)...and basically that was it. And yes, a bit of a walk, south of France is very good for that. It has been the pregnancy where I putted less weight on, of course.

I definitly could use some yoga but honestly it was impossible just to find the time to do all since I also kept the painting going on.

So my recipe would be : having already children (if is your first pregnancy you can borrow one or two from relatives/friends ;-) ), walking, biking if you leave in a place where you can do it safely and some gentle exercise (yoga,pilates or others) if you can.

Take care!
Gioia
