#OlgaStarEnlightens | Struggling With Meditation? READ THIS!
Meditation by its original definition is nothing more than thinking about something or contemplating about something. Lately however when someone says ‘I meditate’ we assume the person sits in the lotus position (with legs crossed) holding palms of their hands together in a prayerlike gesture and… thinking nothing.
When we want to meditate, we usually mean we want to relax in an efficient manner. In short, meditation can be any type of ‘activity’ where your mind is taken off the daily struggles and your body is somewhat rested. Which, in itself, is a bit of a dangerous slope given that many meditation tapes suggest for you to lie down. And of course, we fall asleep if we are tired enough, we’ve all been there!
So, are there other type of meditations we can all do easily and while achieving the results we seek from meditation: rest, recharge and some feeling of balance, (even if only a short period of time after performing meditation?)

#MovieMatters | The Mercy
Like me, you may have forgotten just how good an actor Colin Firth actually is. Believe it or not, there is so much behind the man than his famous role as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Firth is in fact a phenomenal actor who is able to take on the role of the main protagonist Donald Crowhurst and gives him more of an edge. If I be completely honest, Firth may have been the wrong casting for such a role as the real Crowhurst looked physically weaker in comparison comes across as much more vulnerable. However, you can’t help but hope that Firth’s depiction of this troubled and tragic figure can some how turn around the tragic ending.
#FoodandDrink | Sustainability at the Heart for New TPH of Chelsea
Yogesh Datta, Proprietor and Head Chef of The Painted Heron in Chelsea, is launching a new concept on the former site, with plant-based dishes taking centerstage and responsibly-sourced food and sustainability at its heart for late January 2018. After recognising a need for an Indian restaurant that could cater to a more health conscious clientele, Datta has created a totally new ethos for the menu. Modern and welcoming with a stripped-back décor, the reformed emphasis at the newly-named TPH of Chelsea will draw inspiration from the Indian subcontinent.
