Mom's remedy

I wasn't feeling well lately so I went on a search to the best remedy for sickness. Everyone around me was getting sick, except for me. Well I guess Karma finally got to me. 

Cough syrup, nose spray, ibuprofen, paracetamol, soup and of course loads of tissues. You know how it is, you get sick and you hate it. Nobody has time for sickness and nobody has time to get better. I guess that's why society is getting crazier by the day. Nobody has time for their self's anymore.  

But i've found my remedy; mom's special tea. 

So cheeky little monkeys, trust your mothers. They really do know best! And please, do take time for yourself. 

Lots of love, Lamyae

Book Review || The Uglies Series

I've been reading The Uglies series by Scott Westfeld, and I was really amazed by it. What would happen if the world really would become a place where everybody is pretty?

Could you live in a world here everybody is absolutely dazzlingly pretty from the age of 16? A world that revolves around partying and having fun? A world where war and poverty doesn't exist? And a world where nature isn't being touched?
It sounds absolutely amazing, but what would it matter if your mind is not thinking on its own.

Tally, Shay, Zane etc are all characters who were able to snap out of it, characters who were able to think that the world they live in isn't real. The truth is; how many of us would be able to do that? I hope I could.

So my cheeky little monkeys, do you think you would keep your mind sane in a world like that?

Lots of love, Lamyae

The power of viral video's

Goat Remixes, The Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style, Call me maybe etc etc. Everybody knows about them and nobody ever sees them coming. Who thought the whole intire world would be immitating a middleaged asian man who’s doing a horseriding dance? Who thought the world all of the sudden started making 30 second video’s dancing all crazy to the same song. And what were people thinking when they all started putting yolo at the end of every sentence. Because yolo, right? At some point ever person that has access to the internet knows about this phenomenon.  

The Fine Bros on YouTube every week make two video’s with two different target groups. These groups each react to differently video’s. That’s why it’s so interesting watching the video’s. Kids react, teens react, elders react and youtubers react are all products of content creators who try to think big.  

So my cheeky little monkeys, think of it as motivation to think big. Try to see the world through different perspectives. And please try to see everything with an open point of view.

Oh and try to enjoy it, don’t overthink the video’s. After all they’re just for your entertainment.

Lots of love, Lamyae
