Deze zondag is er een streekproductenmarkt in Vzw Vijvens, waar je allerhande zelfgemaakte producten kan kopen.
Ikzelf kan er jammer genoeg niet bij zijn, maar je kan er wel mijn kaarsen vinden 😉

Allen daarheen zou ik zeggen!! 😁

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Today is the second New Moon since the Winter Solstice, which also means that it is Chinese New Year!
Here’s some colour facts associated with this festival:
🔴 The colour that is associated with Chinese New Year is red.
🔴 Red is considered the colour that brings luck, good fortune, long life and prosperity in Chinese culture.
🔴 Today and for the next 2 weeks, people who celebrate Chinese New Year will most likely wear new red clothing to visit friends and family to exchange blessings and gifts. Money, for example, is given in red envelopes to encourage all that red stands for in abundance.
🔴 Brides and grooms traditionally dress up in bright red colours to enhance their chances of a long life and good fortune.

I wrote a blog post on the meaning of some colours in China and how they may differ from the meaning we give to those colours in the Western culture. You can read it on https://wordpress.com/view/livinglifeincolours.com

🎉

Het is vandaag de tweede Nieuwe Maan sinds de Winterzonnewende, wat ook betekent dat het Chinees Nieuwjaar is!
Hier zijn enkele kleurfeiten die verband houden met dit festival:
🔴 De kleur die wordt geassocieerd met Chinees Nieuwjaar is rood.
🔴Rood wordt beschouwd als de kleur die geluk, een lang leven en voorspoed brengt in de Chinese cultuur.
🔴 Vandaag en de komende 2 weken zullen mensen die Chinees Nieuwjaar vieren hoogstwaarschijnlijk nieuwe rode kleding dragen om vrienden en familie te bezoeken om zegeningen en geschenken uit te wisselen. Er wordt bijvoorbeeld geld in rode enveloppen gegeven om alles waar rood voor staat in overvloed aan te moedigen.
🔴 Bruiden en bruidegoms kleden zich traditioneel in felle rode kleuren om hun kansen op een lang leven en geluk te vergroten.
Ik schreef een blogbericht over de betekenis van sommige kleuren in China en hoe die kan verschillen met de betekenis die wij als Westerse cultuur aan die kleuren geven: https://wordpress.com/view/livinglifeincolours.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you all had a blast and that you started this year with a bang!

Other than making these rainbow/chakra candles that you can now buy in my Etsy-shop (see bio), I also did a ritual to really kickstart 2022. Go to https://livinglifeincolours.com/2022/01/05/welcome-2022/ to find out how I started the New Year.

Let's make it a magical one 🌈

GELUKKIG NIEUWJAAR

Ik hoop dat jullie met een knal het Nieuwe Jaar konden inzetten!

Buiten het maken van deze chakra/regenboogkaarsen, deed ik nog een ritueel om het voorbije jaar af te sluiten. Ga naar https://livinglifeincolours.com/2022/01/05/welcome-2022/ om te weten te komen wat ik deed 😉

Laten we van 2022 een magisch jaar maken 🌈

We are in Spain to spend time with my partner's family for Christmas and yesterday we spent the day in Sevilla. One colour that you are likely to find in Sevilla is orange; that's because the city has around 40,000 orange trees planted and they are a true joy to the eye. When you come to Sevilla during Spring-time, you can even smell the typical azahar (=orange blossoms) during your walks around the city! These oranges are bitter-tasting, though, so not very nice to eat of hand. Instead, they are used for cooking (for example to make marmelade).
Have you been able to enjoy these orange trees in Sevilla or somewhere else in Spain?

Momenteel bevinden we ons in Spanje om Kerst te vieren met de familie van mijn vriend en gisteren waren we de hele dag in Sevilla. Eén kleur dat je daar rondom de hele stad kan zien is oranje, en wel omdat er ongeveer 40.000 sinaasappelbomen geplant zijn doorheen de stad. Ze zijn een plezier voor het oog, en in de lente kan je ook genieten van hun typische geur wanneer de boom in bloei staat. Deze sinaasappelen smaken echter bitter en worden daarom vooral gebruikt om te koken, zoals in sinaasappelconfituur.
Heb jij deze bomen reeds gezien in Sevilla of ergens anders in Spanje?
