On Living Alone

So here's a low blow quote that I just read:
"If there's anything worse than a woman living alone, it's a woman saying she likes it." Thelma Ritter.

BuzzFeed, obvi.

About being Alone

I cannot make you understand. That's never my intention.
And you may never approve my way of life. Which is never my sign of green light.

But if you allow me to sum it up, maybe I can use this beautiful saying below. It's as simple as that.

Me, Myself and Tressabel

Is this a sin? 

That I am enjoying this almost too much?

What do you do when you are home alone?

Here's another pop quiz, still inspired by Emily McDowell, one beautiful illustrator that I adore; What do you do when you are home alone?

This question kinda tease me in a way as... I am living alone anyway (smirk!). But I do host friends, families and or relatives every now and then. This gives a different vibe to living alone as a single woman; I enjoy cater for them, making sure they love the scent I added to the fresh-towels, providing what they usually love for breakfast and just dig into long conversations at night over drinks or instant noodles. 

But I always love to snuggle back to my "alone space" when my guests depart. And this is what I do:

• Walking around, no make-up and... ahem... half-naked. As in, wearing tank-top and hot pants and just be bra-less. Trust me, ladies... This feels very liberating. It is just you and your body. And you get to feel your natural scent and you feel more like a real woman. I do not know how that works but it does!
• Let my dogs hang in the room when I think they deserve it and have serious-long-conversation in baby talk mode! I do this sometimes even when I have company tho (the talking part). Shameless! 
• Breakfast in bed and once in a while, I will take out all of my wardrobe and just separate some that I will donate (also, very liberating)
• Play my favorite music and just dance in the kitchen or dance while I water the garden. I do!
• Read, with no pressure of having to attend to someone's need. Read selfishly... and just dive into the book. 
• Watch festival movies and or stupid serials.
• Drink beer in my dining room, one feet up on the chair. Makes me feel like a boss :))
• Dusting my hand-bags while thanking them for the way they make me feel good at down times.
• Eat what most people think as the grossest food ever: French toast with honey and bacon.
• Blog.

What about you?

This is what Emily does:
