Happy May Day♡

Jenniferです🌷

今日は私の一番好きな日です！！

メーデーは古くはヨーロッパで始まったお祭りです。暖かくなりお店の花もいっぱいです。　私は去年のシクラメンの花の咲くのを待っていましたが最近、咲きました！！　それも去年のホスタも最近大きくなりました！　びっくり大きくと元気になったのです！　メーデーの花束を今日の朝に準備してお店に飾ってありますのでよかったら見て下さい💐

As I’ve mentioned before, today is my favorite day of the year, May 1st!!  In Europe, May Day celebrates the warm spring weather, the coming of summer and longer days, and the blooming flowers. I was lucky, and my cyclamen from 2013 finally bloomed again!! Also my hosta from last year came back and is bigger and healthier.

One of the old May Day traditions I love is the gathering of flowers to make bouquets or put into baskets, which are then left on your neighbor’s doorstep as a pleasant surprise. I got a cute spring bouquet from a flower shop for Hair Innovation.💐

雛祭り！

こんにちは、Jenniferです 🙂

３月３日は雛祭りですね！でも島根県は４月３日に祝うみたいです。それで今年ヘアーイノベーションも今から４月３日まで蜷人形があります。毎年デパートで凄い雛祭りのディスプレーを見てます！！いろいろな種類の人形があります、たとえば三人官女と随身です。本当にゴージャスな感じです。私はカワイイとシンプルの内裏雛があります♡

ひな祭り

On March 3rd, Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) is widely celebrated throughout Japan.  However, according to the traditional lunar calendar, it may also be celebrated one month later on April 3rd.  After Valentine’s Day, department stores exhibit the traditional dolls on tiered platforms lined with red carpet.  The dolls and their accessories are typically of the Heian period, and some displays can be quite gorgeous!!  This year, Hair Innovation also has two mini dolls. 🙂  The Dairibina (Imperial Dolls) are on the top tier and represent the Emperor and Empress.  My dolls are simple, but very cute and will be on display until April 3rd.♡

Happy May Day!

Jenniferですこんにちは、

今日は５月１日＝メーデー！！ メーデー私の一番好きな日です 🙂

私の好き映画 Camelot はステキなメーデーシーンがありますから是非見て下さい！

MayDay

May Day originated in ancient Europe to celebrate the warmer spring weather.  Maypole dancing, the crowning of a May Queen, bonfires and feasting were traditional parts of the celebrations.  May Day is my favorite day of the year because it represents things I really love like sunny days, flowers, dancing and romance, and makes me feel like singing, frolicking and handing out flowers. 🙂

One of my favorite movies, Camelot, includes a fantastic May Day inspired scene to the song “The Lusty Month of May”.  You can see it here.  Enjoy!

Happy May Day!!
