LOVE is in the AIR!!

July 17th 2012 18:13
Don't you just LOVE summer! I know I do! It's one of my most favorite times of year. The birds are chirping, the waves are rising, the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. Another cool aspect of summer is that I often run across lots of couples who are in love. I myself and my husband are considering renewing our matrimonial vows to renew our take on our love and marriage. Although we've been married for quite a while now, its always a great idea to recap and renew what brought us together.

Similar to renovating bathrooms to include modern bathroom vanities versus older renditions, renovating one's love life, is just as critical. When was the last time you and your significant other took a stroll in the park? How about a bike ride along a nice trail? Or, when was the last time the both of you brought out old photo albums to ride down memory lane?




Although I am very aware of the fact that my blog is dedicated to fashion trends, what is fashion without sincerity, love and purity? NOTHING!!! Some of the most popular of fashion trends began with new love, a heartache or a heartbreak.

Spring Time, Color, Wedding Decorations and more!

May 24th 2012 11:59
Oh to Spring! How I love this time of year. I probably should say I "Heart" this time of year! The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, the bee's are buzzing! I love the weather. As I walk my children to school, I feel a cool, cool breeze, yet a warm snuggly feeling. If I would say something negative about this year, it would have to be the seasonal allergy part. I have allergies and this time of year wrecks havoc on my sinuses, nasal canal and overall allergies. But one of my favorite parts about this year is the enormous amount of spring weddings. The music, the food, the dress and the wedding decorations. You have to love spring time!

Have you EMERGENTIZED your house?

March 12th 2012 20:07
Well, with all that's going on in the world today, who wouldn't be interested in obtaining emergency equipment, solar generators, long term food storage, water filters and more? Although some might consider the initial though or perception of stocking up on these items "conspiracy", they are far from the truth. The truth is, nothing will last forever including the international government as we know. Furthermore, considering the massive increase in the annual number of fatal and disastrous weather calamities, I personally believe that all citizens should sincerely consider investing in proper emergency equipment.



For example, if a tornado was to hit your local community, do you have what it takes to protect you and your family? If by happen stance, a fire broke out in your apartment, do you have the proper tools to escape effectively? What about an emergency blackout? All of these things are very important and all should consider purchasing them for their homes and for loved ones. They can be fairly inexpensive as well. You can purchase from your local drug, trade, supply or convenience store. Of course, some items must be purchased from either specialty or hardware stores but most of the basic items can be purchased from local stores within your area.

Antique

March 11th 2012 15:58
Most of you are already familiar with the term "Vintage" and "Antique", right? Just know that just because an item is OLD, doesn't necessarily make it "antique" or "vintage". One of the best ways to find out if an item would be coined "antique" or "vintage" is to do a little bit of research!!Furthermore, one of my favorite vintage and antique trends is Victorian jewelry from the Victorian era. Have you ever wondered if you could dress or style your wardrobe after Queen Victoria or some of the historical English monarchs? Well, you can with patience, diligence and the studying of what to look for. Also, can you picture yourself engaged? Would you love for your husband to buy you an antique engagement ring? Well, you could if you encourage your hubby to shop for gorgeous antique engagement rings through local shops and more!

Jazzy, Spicy

February 2nd 2012 16:09
I was looking at an ad the other day and it mentioned "couture avatar". I thought to myself, "what". This prompted me to research further to take another look. After searching around, I finally figured out what it was and meant. Avatars, or virtual images, can be used in a variety of places online. Most of us have one and are familiar with them but a "couture avatar"..

I figured that it did have something to do with fashion of some sort. After looking at this website, I found that I could fully customize my avatars wardrobe, not just their physical features and appearance. They have fashion terms and "lingo" for days! Terms that traditional avatar platforms do not have. Most are limited so I found this amazing and intriguing to say the least. It was also a IMVU platform that allowed my fully customized and fashionably chic avatar self to play games and interact with other peoples avatar or virtual images

Spring Break, Vancouver Hotel and Vogue Chic

January 25th 2012 12:28
With Spring Break approaching, millions of international students are impatiently awaiting their first opportunity to "kick it!" Oh but what to do amongst so many?
During my school years, I opted to travel to nearby family members and even to Cancun. Now, more and more students are choosing to visit more culturally diverse and rich locations, such as Vancouver, India and the Grand Canyon. If visiting Vancouver, students find that a good Vancouver Hotel is hard to come by. In downtown Vancouver, there are many luxurious hotels but few hold up to the standards of Loden Hotel. Being that most students are on "shoe string budgets", their affordability could be a definite plus.

Holiday Bliss With CYMAX!!

December 12th 2011 14:05
We are all looking forward to this upcoming holiday season. Regardless of ones religious beliefs, all implement certain holiday traditions that they acquired from loved one's, parents or friends. From Christmas tree decorations to festive residential lighting, all of our tend to be in the "holiday spirit" around this time of year. We just experienced Thanksgiving holiday where children were fortunate to get a break from school, eat great pie and turkey and of course, SHOP! Black Friday is one of the most anticipated shopping days of the year for retailers and consumers. Shoppers save up to 90% on top dollar and brand named items. We're fortunate enough to save a 'pretty penny' on some early holiday shopping. For those of you who missed the Black Friday sale extravaganza, for example with Cymax, or you're waiting until your finances 'get right', you still have a chance to save big for much coveted gifts for your loved ones. There are multiple counts of huge discount sales and promotions specifically targeted for the holidays.

Age Of The Eco-Friendlies...Green Fashion, Green Printing & Everything In Between!

December 12th 2011 02:49
I know that my title is very catchy right! On the other hand, most of you wonder "what is she doing in her title?", or "those things have nothing to do with each other". Well, on the contrary my friend, they ALL have everything to do with each other.

First of all, we are living in the 21st century and we've finally learned of how our actions will effect our children, grandchildren and their children. We've learned the damage that carbon dioxide play on our atmosphere, as well as filling our landfills with chemicals. Various industries have switched to green printing instead of utilizing traditional wasteful means of printing. Our children are learning about recycling to reuse materials instead of throwing them away. It was only a matter of time before this awareness entered the fashion arena as well

Cymax Furniture Fashion SWAGGER!!

December 10th 2011 17:07
You ask "what is furniture fashion", well simply "interior decor" or "decorating". Yes, having fly and fashionable fashion is pivotal. I refuse to settle for a trendy wardrobe and when guest visit my residence, my housing decor and furniture is shabby and I'm not talking about "shabby chic". My children are all under the ages of 10 and let me tell you, our living area desperately needs an upgrade. I wish we could move into a house with a den area where we could send them there but "not happening"! I do more than 70% of my shopping online only due to the great discounts most online stores offer. I've been looking at stores like Cymax for my new furniture. A friend told me that they are currently offering a holiday discount. Of course, I also like looking around on Ebay because of the great finds they have as well. One of staple go to places for great finds, discounts and money saving items is Craigslist.

Is Fashion VAIN?

December 10th 2011 00:46
Okay people. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and we were talking about the state of the current fashion industry, runway, print, you name it. She stated that the problem with it is the increasing vanity of it all. For those of you who do not fully understand "vanity" let me first say that I am not referring to
double bathroom vanities in your bathroom but in a much deeper sense. The webster's definition of vanity is proud, arrogant, worthless, meaningless, empty or shallow. I do agree that much of the entertainment, arts and fashion industry is filled with superficial and shallow men and women whose only desire is the reach stardom, fame and reap as much cash, diamonds and billion dollar houses along the way. On the other hand, there are some in the industry who value their craft and they pursue their dreams because of their love of fashion. Regardless of anybodies take on the matter, fashion has been around since Adam and Eve chose to drape their loins with animal skin or leaves in the Garden of Eden. It's a mainstay in our society and culture. Besides, we all have to wear clothing don't we?
