Σεισμός

Earthquake !

Έγινε σεισμός στην Καλιφόρνια σήμερα 

Egine sismos stin kalifornia simera

There was an earthquake in california today.

Today at 11.42 a.m. while I was at work, the earth started rocking and rolling, a 5.8 earthquake struck Southern California, the epicenter was located in the Chino Hills, a community of L.A and it was felt all over southern california and as far as Las Vegas. 

 In my opinion this earthquake was one of the most exciting experiences that I've ever felt, and I'm glad there was no signficant damage and everyone is safe.

Το αγγούρι

Cucumber

Φρέσκα αγγουριά από τον κήπο μου φτιάχνουν εξαιρετικό τζατζίκι

Freska angouria apo ton kipo mou ftiahoun  ekseretiko tzatziki

Fresh cucumber from my garden make great tzatziki.

 Cucumbers also make great moisturizer lotions for the face and body, due to their high content of water, natural oils, and vitamin E.  

My favorite body lotion which I highly recommend to anyone suffering from dry skin or sunburnt is "Vaseline aloe fresh hydrating with aloe and cucumber", it leaves skin really smooth and feeling fresh without greasy sensation. It's awesome for the summer and the price is good.

η Αγάπη

Love

Είναι η αγάπη που κάνει το αδύνατο δυνατo

Ine i agapi pou kani to adinato dinato

It's love what makes possible the impossible

Τι ειναι η αγάπη;

Ti ine i agapi

what is love?

Love is the feeling everyone wishes to obtain and to make it everlasting. 

Real love never devalues, only the delusional one does. 

Love has no boundaries.

Love feeds the soul. 

Love moves the world.

Love makes possible the impossible.

η Παραλία

The Beach

Θελώ να παω στην  παραλία

Thelo na pao stin paralia

I want to go to the beach 

  Even though, the heat has descended here in California, I'm craving going to the beach so much. There's nothing like getting a good healthy tan, feeling the sand and the water, the sun and the gentle breeze. When it gets really stressing and when I feel polluted from everyday hustle and bustle, looking at the horizon, at the sea, eases my mind.

ωραίος-α-ο

Beautiful, handsome

η Ζώη ειναι ωραία

i zoi ine orea

Life is beautiful

The word of the day in this post is another word to say beautiful, besides όμορφος.  And I would also like to say that life is beautiful, regardless of the adversities we have to face sometimes and the struggles we don't understand but in the end everything makes sense and we realize there's a reason for everything and it's all worth it.
