Leisure Time

Cancer (22 June – 22 July)

Cautious Cancers are perhaps the most reluctant when it comes to making style changes. They know what looks good on them and prefer to make small additions to jazz up their most trusted outfits, like colored tights with a plain black dress or a flashy evening pochette, but rarely both at the same time.

Gemini (21 May – 21 June)

Dynamic, fashion-forward and bold risk takers, Gemini women are definitely trend setters! Unafraid to try something first, you’ll always see them in something cutting edge and innovative. They’re up to date with the latest fashion news, know the hottest designers and cruise the most famous fashion blogs.

Taurus (21 April – 20 May)

Romantic, passionate and feminine, Taurus women love to look well prepped. They like elegant styles, with a touch of seduction and tend to avoid over-the-top statement outfits.

Hey, girls! This is the first of a series of posts about your style, depending on your zodiac sign! We’ve got the rest of the signs of the zodiac coming every other day, so stay tuned for yours!

Aries (21 March – 20 April)

In the 60s they were the first to wear the mini skirts; in the 80s they were the first to adopt shoulder pads. Aries women are adventurous even when their style remains classic. So don’t be surprised to see them in riding boots and knee length socks paired with a mini skirt.

First of all, I have to admit that I am not sure if this is an article about travel in space or travel in time. Yesterday, as I walking in downtown Athens, my eye caught a sign: buy a 10€ movie ticket and watch 3 movies! Although I had been on this street before, I had never noticed that there was a movie theater. I looked up. It was a summer cinema named Palace.

I took a closer look at the posters for the movies on, and I saw that “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was about to begin. I really wanted to watch Indiana Jones’ comeback and I hadn’t been in a summer cinema for years, so I went in. Now, I am glad that I was in the right place at the right time.

“Without you, today’s emotions would be the dead skin of yesterday’s.”

“Let’s watch a movie” is a thought that crosses my mind almost every evening. For a person that has watched hundreds of movies, it’s a bit embarrassing to admit that I hadn’t watched Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie yet. It’s even more embarrassing to confess that I didn’t even know what Amélie was about. All I had heard about that movie was that it was a good one.

Since I hadn’t been exposed to the movie, I tried to follow the first three scenes carefully to get the main idea of the movie. What on earth can between a butterfly, 2 glasses and Amélie’s birth have in common? It’s like telling you that at the time a driver crossed a red light and a couple kissed under a tree in Austria, I started writing this article on my laptop. Does this movie have to do with random events, luck and destiny? Or was it just a director’s trick to get our attention? In any case, it worked.

Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci practiced 14 sciences. He used to sleep 2 hours every day, separated in quarters of an hour. A left-handed dyslexic, he tried to paint with both of his hands. He was a loner, but also adopted a child which he raised with extra care. He was weird, and used to destroy most of his work.

Today is the last day of Carnival season in Greece. What does this mean to Greeks? Fun is over, celebrations are over and no matter how sad we are, all we can do is wait till next year. For the Christian Orthodox community, the end of Carnival season also means the coming of 40 days of Lent until Easter. But there was also a time when Carnival used to mean the advent of spring.
