I am writing this post at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, waiting to board my flight to Tokyo. I’m heading off for a week’s holiday in Japan.
On Wednesday, I taught my last lesson for the term, and, on Tuesday, I completed my draft of Chapter 6 and sent it to my supervisors. It’s a great relief to have completed my to-do list before the Christmas break!
Himalayan Salt Lamp
I recently bought a Himalayan salt lamp. This turned out to be a very good purchase!
I bought two lamps: one for my desk, and one for the living room. Although no major studies have supported this, authentic salt lamps are thought to release negative ions into the air, which can get rid of dust particles that might affect your health and improve the overall air quality in your home (I hope this “myth” of salt is true). The warm light and the natural shape of pink salt crystal certainly boosts my mood and brings some comfort and relaxation.
