Billie Rose

There is nothing like finding new blogs that get you excited. I hope new readers feel that way when they fall upon my lil ole blog. Anyway, Billie Rose is a great blog to follow if you love fashion, with splashes of life. That’s what makes a good blog to me. A peek into your space, who you are. Not just the fabulous clothes you wear, or the way you decorate. But the little things that make people interested, or want to get to know you. I found that with this blog.

Enjoy.

High Fives & Hugs,

I am all for a great pair of earrings.  I ran across the designs of Vanessa Mooney and fell in love with her earrings. Colorful, boho, and absolutely chic.

Organic Art

During a recent trip to Central Market, I passed by the most beautiful fruit and vegetables. If only I had my Nikon with me. But as you can see my camera phone did just fine.

What I would recommend to anyone looking to add color to a kitchen, breakfast nook, or dining area. Try this.

All these were taken by me. If I can do this, anyone could. Add some special effects via your photo editing program and up the look even more.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery ...or not?  It’s the big conversation that people are either having or not. Procedures they are happening honestly, or not. Where do I stand? Do what pleases you. We all have one life to live so why not do what makes you happy. No living being is perfect, and you would be surprised these days who has done what. Here are some looks that represent plastic surgery done by celebrities.

Are you thinking of having plastic surgery? If so, the most important thing you can do is research. Find a wonderful Dr., and ask questions, questions, questions. Good luck, and do what makes you happy.

RETURNING MID MAY

Hi Friends.

I am sure many of you are wondering what is going on with Tam, and GIGS? To put it plain and simple, I need some time. For those that have kept up with this blog since 2008, know that I have posted day after day for years with a week or two off here and there. I put so much into my blog mentally, and physically. But I have learned that I have to satisfy me as well.  I always appreciate your support, and thank you so much for reading this blog. I will see you mid May.

HAPPY 15 ANNIVERSARY

Today makes it 15 years off being happily married to my first love. What a blessing it is to have found love at 15 years old, and maintaining that love with the addition of two beautiful children. When I am down, anxious, or uncertain…It is you that reminds me who to look and trust. I thank you for that always, and look forward to 60 more years!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Domino Magazine- Special Edition

Well, our favorite shelter magazine was brought back to life via a special edition issue. I honestly forgot it was hitting the stands until I bumped into it at Barnes & Nobles yesterday. Seeing it brought an immediate rush of glee, and excitement came over me. I don’t think I even questioned my purchase. I grabbed it, a few oatmeal cookies for my guy, and out we went.

Once we got home, and I had time to really look at the magazine. I realized it was not the “old domino” that we were all sad to see leave. This issue was $10.99 for 128 pages. Unfortunately there are repeats of images from previous issues. I think at $10.99 we should be getting something FRESH & NEW throughout. I almost feel as though the publishers are aware how we all feel about DOMINO, and decided to put a for sure money maker on the stands. They are aware that we as shelter magazine lovers feel the void of DOMINO, and would just be happy to see it resurrected. Although that is true, the meat of this special DOMINO sandwich DID NOT FILL ME UP. Don’t get me wrong. The images are great, and its splashed with color and concept..but it’s just not the DOMINO that we all know. The last page notes a second issue coming out in September. I am crossing my fingers in hope that things improve. I love you DOMINO, but you can do BETTER.
