‘Compliments’ You Should Really Stop Giving by Giorgia Cristiani

Let’s start with one of the most common situations in which receiving a compliment is not always a positive experience. If you are a man complimenting a woman you see in the street, you need to stop and really think why you feel the need to do so. Do you sincerely appreciate the woman’s appearance? If so, why do you feel the need to express it, instead of silently contemplating it on your own (but no staring, please!)? Are you trying to get something out of the interaction?

Triggering a set of emotions, whether bringing the observer to a peaceful place or encouraging their minds to venture into new ideas.”

Les couleurs, les motifs variés, sont autant d'occasions de stimuler visuellement le bébé.

Deixo vocês com um fim de tarde na Rua Novo Horizonte, o lugar onde sempre sou feliz porque sempre dá pra ser feliz. Deixo vocês com os quadros da Fer Veriga, com a voz da Marisa Monte e da Nina Simone, com a frase maravilhosa de Vinícius, “a vida só se dá pra quem se deu”, e com a sopa de aspargos do Pasta e Vino nas madrugadas.
