I’ve travelled to some of the most beautiful places in the world… and nothing surprised me the way Sri Lanka did.
It’s not just beaches and palm trees — it’s the feeling of slowing down, breathing again, and remembering what life should actually feel like.
Luxury here isn’t about the hotel… it’s the peace you can’t buy anywhere else.
If you’re looking for a place that resets your mind, your body, and your standards — Sri Lanka is it. 🇱🇰✨

Living in Sri Lanka taught me a few things I wish I learned earlier:

😮‍💨 slow living isn’t laziness — it’s presence
🌞 nature heals you when routines can’t
🛵 you don’t need much to feel rich
💡 creativity comes when you stop forcing
🤝 community will shift your whole life

For years I lived in survival mode—no discipline, smoking, no sleep, overthinking everything.
The moment I changed my environment, my habits and my mindset… everything softened, everything made sense.

I’m 38 now, and honestly? I’ve never felt healthier, clearer, or younger — inside and out.
Not because of “hacks,” but because I simplified my life and chose what actually supports me.

If you feel stuck, lost, or ready to rebuild yourself from the inside out, my 1:1 Lifestyle Reset can help you find that clarity and structure.

No pressure. Just support.

Sri Lanka isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a place that rewrites you.

Every corner of the south holds a different energy:
A gym in the jungle where you ground your body.
A coffee shop where time slows down.
A surf lounge full of music, food, and new faces.
A sauna by the ocean that resets your whole system.
Sunset walks that remind you how beautiful life can be.
Ice baths in the jungle.
Local food cooked with love that makes you feel at home.

This coast has a pulse, a soul, a truth and now it is the high season, November to April.
Once you taste it… you understand why people come for a week and end up staying for months.

This is the Sri Lanka I fell in love with 
raw, magical, alive. 🌴✨

October Diaries — A Chapter Before 39 

I couldn’t help but wonder… as another birthday approaches, are we ever really where we thought we’d be, or are we exactly where we’re meant to be?

October has always felt a little special to me. My birthday month. A time to reflect, to celebrate life, and perhaps to make peace with the things that haven’t quite gone according to plan.

This year has brought its fair share of challenges, beautiful surprises, unexpected lessons, and moments that have tested my faith. And yet, through it all, I continue to trust God, believe in my purpose, and remind myself to enjoy the journey rather than constantly worry about the destination.

Because maybe life isn’t about having it all figured out. Maybe it’s about finding joy in the uncertainty, beauty in the imperfections, and gratitude even on the difficult days.

Tomorrow, another chapter begins. But today, I’m simply grateful for the story so far.

Still learning. Still dreaming. Still believing. And above all, feeling blessed. 🤍 taken in Sri Lanka by @dinomoustakas

Slowly but surely.

Most of the time I honestly have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t even call myself a designer. I’m just creating, hustling, learning, making mistakes, trying again and trying in my own way to make this world a little more beautiful.

With massage and breathwork, I create a space for people to feel safe, soften, reconnect and come back to themselves. With Elysian, I want to carry that same feeling into something you can wear — simplicity, quality, love, freedom. A small piece of me.

I’m still figuring everything out as I go. I haven’t made money from this yet. Whatever I make goes straight back into it. Production is still a struggle, designs don’t always come out the way I see them in my head, and some days I really question what the hell I’m doing 😅

But the need to create is stronger than all of that.

And every day I feel more grateful, more hungry, and more determined to take this somewhere bigger and finally bring the full vision I carry inside me to life.

A small piece of me, slowly becoming something bigger.

God, you know the vision. Keep me moving towards it. 🤍

There is something about working through the upper back and shoulders — the space just behind the heart.

So much tension can live there. Stress, protection, posture, emotion… all the things we carry without even noticing.

Through movement, pressure, stretching and breath, I slowly work deeper, listening to the body rather than forcing it.

And then comes that moment when the resistance softens.

The breath changes.
The body opens.
The tension begins to release.

That’s the part I love most about Thai Yoga bodywork not just stretching the body, but creating enough space for it to soften and let go. 🫂

Prevention is better than cure ✨

Be smart with your skin choices. Treat your skin with the same care and attention you give your body, your mind and yourself.

It’s all connected. It’s all you. 🤍

One of my dreams has always been to create my own fashion label. To be able to create freely, with whatever I have around me, and turn an idea into something real.

That’s how Elysian was born when I moved to Sri Lanka. Out of my need to create, inspired by the environment, the fabrics, the people, and the local tailors.

Little by little, piece by piece, I’m watching something that once existed only in my mind slowly take shape.

I hope you love the pieces as much as I love creating them. And one of my next dreams? To bring Elysian to Cyprus too. 🤍

“When you slowly start building your dreams… Life starts to feel like home.” 🫂

I’m not as confident as I look.

If anything, I’ve probably been my own harshest critic for most of my life. I question myself, I push myself, I expect more from myself —and sometimes I forget to simply stop and breathe.

Maybe that’s why I’ve kept moving.

England. Australia. Cyprus. Sri Lanka.

Different places, different chapters, different versions of me.

And honestly… it gets tiring.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve never really allowed myself to rest. There’s always another thing to figure out, another idea to chase, another version of life I think I should be creating.

I know what I want.

What I don’t always know is whether it will work.

And even when I know I can do something, I don’t always know how I’m going to make it happen.

The clothes are a good example.

I’m creating things here in Sri Lanka, speaking to people, looking for production, trying to understand how the hell I’m going to get everything to Cyprus… and most of it is still completely uncertain.

But I keep going.

I go into the jungle. I meet local people. I create with what I have. I do the little things that are actually possible today.

And maybe that’s enough for now.

I miss my family.

There are moments when I feel very alone.

There are moments when I wonder if I’m making life harder than it needs to be.

And then there are moments when I look around and realise…

this is the life I said I wanted.

I’m still looking for my peace.

Still trying to understand what freedom really feels like.

Still figuring out what “the right life” even means.

Maybe I don’t need to have it all figured out yet.

Maybe I just need to keep building, creating, moving, resting when I can and trusting God that some of the answers will come along the way.

Δεν ξέρω πώς ακριβώς κατέληξα να παρουσιάζω τα ρούχα μου μέσα στη μέση της ζούγκλας στη Σρι Λάνκα… 😂🌴

Αλλά honestly, κάπως έτσι είναι η ζωή μου πλέον.

Το Elysian ξεκίνησε σαν μια ιδέα και σιγά σιγά γίνεται κομμάτι της ζωής που έχω επιλέξει να ζήσω.

Όχι studio. Όχι showroom. Just me, nature και τα ρούχα μου. 🤍

Και κάπως… δεν θα το άλλαζα. More to come 🤸🏽‍♂️🫶🏻

Just another day of life here… 🌿
A little movement, a little jungle, and nowhere I need to rush to.
Honestly, nothing beats working out surrounded by nature at @makahiyafitness
