There is one thing that people do all the time and rarely think about appreciating it: breathing. Only when a sudden cold, bronchitis, or other pulmonary issues that affect our respiratory system intervene, only then we miss breathing like we used to.
I experienced such episodes. Often. After 6 months spent in Norway when I was at University, I got a severe cold. After 2 weeks of agonising, my nose was never to be the same. Throughout the years I was "gifted" with hypertrophic rhinitis, allergy and often moments of having flu. I experienced serous otitis because of my noble allergy and it was not easy. My breathing was never the same. I missed having that feeling of normally breathing that I had moments when I made jokes about making exchanges: I will give you my nose happily if you give me your healthy one👃😂
There are many people suffering from much more serious breathing problems than me. Those people power through them and still make the best of life. The idea is to appreciate something even if you don't longer have it at the maximum capacity.
Waking up in the morning and writing this post is only possible because I woke up breathing. Which is an amazing gift in itself. My thrift shop nose, even if it's malfunctioning, is the best nose in the world and I am grateful for it.
This facepainting is an ode to our breathing gift. Our lungs, our nose, our whole respiratory system. You have been doing this since you were born. Everyday. Non stop. I think it is time to take a pause and breath in the air of gratitude. Inhale. Exhale. Damn it feels good👃🙏
Have a lovely breathing day and toodle loo!

I love your ode to Breathing, very creative indeed. So many of us don't even breathe probably, sometimes it's only when you lose something that you really value it xx
Thank you😊 it is so easy to take stuff for granted, that is why I think daily gratitude is very important🙏
Question: How do you get those white glowing circles in your eyes because I want some too, but I want red ones. Is that a digital thing?
Also, I like breathing. It is one of my favourite things to do.
I use a Yongnuo ring light just because I want better lighting for my photos. I think you might just use photoshop to add eye effect to spare yourself of buying extra stuff.
Oh I love breathing too, been doing it since 1990. Can't stop😂
Lol, I just want red eyes to look like the Terminator...I could photoshop it...If I knew how to use photoshop.
Ah I see, a fellow breather huh? Nice! It's a good thing right? Breathing. Such a valuable experience.
All true, and what an amazing bodypaint! Have you done it yourself?
Thank you, yes, all of my face/bodypainting is my own work. Glad you like it!
Really? Wow, that's amazing that you can do that yourself! Talented lady over there!
Thank you, it is a method of relaxation for me.
And it is fantastic! Damn!
Oh yes! It feels even better when going in the middle of nature, to take all that in. But even by default is awesome.
Very creative!
Thank you😊

I had the exact thought this morning. I have it every morning now that I have restarted meditation. Breathing is such a gift that we take it for granted.
It truly is a priceless gift.
I couldn't agree more😊
Woaaah, you did an amazing job on the make-up/bodypaint! Have you done a full bodypaint before?
Thank you🙏 Only my face and my chest. I would need an airbrush and a place for messiness to go full bodypainting lol. I enjoy it very much and it is relaxing for me
Ahhhh you're inside-out lol
