Princess Beatrice Welcomes Second Child



The British Royal family are celebrating the arrival of a new addition. 

Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice gave birth to her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on 22nd January. 

News of the birth was announced and posted by Buckingham Palace on Instagram on Wednesday. 

"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr. Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are delighted to announce the safe arrival of their daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi, born on Wednesday, 22nd January, at 12:57pm", the statement read. 

"The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news. 

The photo shows the newborn baby girl dressed in white, wrapped in a pink blanket and covering her face. 

Eduardo also posted the photo on his own Instagram. 

"We welcomed baby Athena into our lives last week. She is is tiny and absolutely perfect. We are all (including Wolfie and Sienna) already completely besotted with her, Our hearts are overflowing with love for you, baby Athena. 

Princess Beatrice welcomed her first child, three-year-old Sienna, in 2021 and became stepmother to eight-year-old Christopher Wolf, known as Wolfie when the couple married in 2020. 

Wolfie is Edoardo's son with former girlfriend Dara Huang. 

Sienna and Athena will not receive royal titles because Eduardo did not receive a royal title from Queen Elizabeth when he and Beatrice married. 

He is a successful property developer and an Italian count, which makes his wife a countess and his children counts or nobile donna.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
