Friendship is like a flower. It combines fragrance and color. It's what makes our hearts burn. Passion and Sweetness. I wish you a happy new week With tenderness in my heart. I offer you a basket of sweetness. With a shower of kisses
Thought for the day: It's important to know how to take breaks. Let go of everything. Put a pause on personal work. On yourself and simply. Let yourself live...
