The Doggy Beach
THE DOGGY BEACH DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A BEACH THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS?
The Doggy Beach is the last beach in Kapparis is located just before the border and was designated by Paralimni municipality in 2016 after dog owners lobbied them for a beach to take their four legged friends. As temperatures rise in summer, it’s perfect for dogs to cool down in the sea and there are two bins for dog waste and responsible owners respect this. If you’re lucky you may even spot dolphins swimming. Since the beach was declared as designated for dogs, the word has spread very quickly amongst the locals and the beach has been filled with dogs and their owners ever since. And now every summer residents hold a Beach Party for Dogs in Cyprus where up to 100 dogs have been seen jumping the waves! As there are no designated park areas for dogs in Cyprus this has been recognised as the best spot in the country to take your dog. Resident Margo Flouri says, “We have beautiful beaches and this part of Cyprus has the best seasides. The Doggy Beach is like a river that flows in the sea and is enjoyed by families, I wouldn’t change it for the world.” Katie Kryiakoudi added, “I’m really happy it exists and allows me to spend quality time with my dog at the beach. It is great to meet other animal lovers there . People really appreciate it and respect it. I am lucky to be living close to it."

LIFESTYLE NOTES AND REFLECTIONS OF A WOMAN CREATING HER BEST LIFE
Stefania Bongiovanni
Everybody is a mirror. What you see in me is also what you see in yourself. And viceversa, what I love or hate in you is what I love or hate in myself. At first this sounded weird or nonsense to me, but when I started analysing the people I met and why I immediately liked or disliked them... Well, it was very enlightening! Yes, it takes a lot of selflove and self-esteem to match the good and beautiful we see in others with the splendour that lies in us. And it takes even more courage and honesty to admit to ourselves that we share some flaws and weaknesses with that person that we really find insufferable. Because in both cases we may feel forced to take action by i) really appreciating ourselves and ii) changing what prevents us from becoming the best version of ourselves. So let’s start with the small steps: when someone compliments you, believe them! Because they see in you something that they like in themselves, too, even if they’re not completely aware of it. And chances are that you have found a like-minded person. We are each other’s mirror, do you remember? This is why your perception of me is a reflection of you. And while beautiful souls always look for the good in others, toxic people choose to look for the negative aspects and to constantly live their life on victim mode. But the good news is that, next time that you find out that someone is talking mean behind your back or has left a negative comment under one of your posts, you will know that the problem does not lie in you. Haters gonna hate and hurt people hurt people, and this unfortunately will be a fixed point in our life. But what they probably ignore is that they are giving you a clear sign that you’ve been doing a good job. So don’t give up, darling, and keep on being an example to follow. Thank the haters and let them walk out of your life, praying for them to find one day the peace in their hurt hearts.
