Κάθε μέρα ταξίδι.
Δεν ζω μια ζωή συμβατική. Έχω βάλει πλώρη για τόπους μαγικούς. Αιωρούμενους. Δεν ζω κατά συνθήκη. Ο χρόνος για μένα δεν είναι γραμμικός. Πάω αργά προς εκείνο που με καλεί. Δεν επιθυμώ τίποτα έξω από μένα. Παλεύω μ’ ότι χτίζω. Κομμάτι , κομμάτι πανοπλία γερή. Την δοκιμάζω καθημερινά. Έχω βρει τη μέθοδο. Πάω στη φύση.…

Γιατί shaolin των ψαλιδιών?
Ο Αποστόλης ήταν φίλος μου από τα παιδικά μας χρόνια. Ήταν ένας καστανόξανθος, οξυδερκής και με απίστευτο χιούμορ άνθρωπος. Μας έδενε η αγάπη για τη μουσική, τις σκανδαλιές, τα (vintage) video games και το στυλ! Ο Αποστόλης καταγόταν από το Λιτόχωρο Πιερίας στους πρόποδες του Ολύμπου, αλλά τη διετία 1985-1987 έτυχε να μένουμε και οι…

Did we finally learn anything from the pandemic?
It feels like being on a treadmill again. Or is it me again? You keep telling me (and honestly I feel you) that your free time is limited. Well, you’re not alone. Almost the vast majority visiting us every day reports the same. Have we lost control again (of our lives) and our top priorities?…

We are not a «single thing»
Do we still believe in the «I’m what my profession dictates I am»? Let us not get fooled by this «old-fashioned» notion.See,I’m a profesional hairdresser but I feel that I can be a ton more things than that.For instance I love writing.We live in this era of light speed progress,image and technology booming that wants…

Go gently..go with the flow
It takes courage not to throw a punch to a knife pointing at you.This could be anything.In my case it’s my daughter.Locked and loaded,feeling infuriated and rebellious around the clock.Few are the moments of serenity within this highly educational period of our lives that includes puberty.And these moments started revealing their beauty when we decided…

Maybe you are..
..already where you want to be.Gratitude can be your best friend.You are alive.You have a job.You are functional.You have this PC.And a house to live.And an old car.And a cat.And a brain that still works.Why do we have to make it the hard way?We are here now.Embrace the moment.Say lots of «I love you».Communicate with…

The cat(and cats in general)
Sometimes I travel back home using the metro.Lately a magical thing has taken its place in my heart,and I bet in millions of others commuting the same way as me..A little white (with brown patches) cat is residing at the left top corner of the escalator as you exit the tube!She seems unbothered by the…

It feels like luck,or is it really us?
I would never believe that a girl like this would find us by chance,gut feeling and because she «felt» what we intended to project since our opening.The concept for us was this:»Not your regular hairsalon».We don’t feel like one,we don’t play like one.So here we are.After almost eleven years.Still drawing new clientele despite the one…

Believe it.Do it.You can
There is no way in this life,to expect approval for your projects.First of all you shouldn’t be running around announcing everything that’s on your mind!It makes you look unreliable,indecicive,a fraud.You are full of enthusiasm about your passion and you expect others to be equally thrilled with you.They are not.Until you present actual fruits of your…

When no one understands
..what you’re doing,not even yourself!It is a priviledge and a blessing to be in a state of awareness about your mission on earth.Or more simply to enjoy what you currently doing.I hadn’t been lucky on that part for most of my life.Now I feel restless.I am re-educating myself,with the hope to re-equip and advance in…
The "Shaolin" of the scissors
