My husband and I are about to buy a house that will need electrical repair - almost a re-do.
So, instead of repairing it traditionally, we're taking the opportunity to completely exchange the old system out for solar lighting and electricity.
Now, you may not have that opportunity, but that doesn't mean you can't use solar powered items to be more green, and save on electricity costs.
Whether you're looking for functional security lights or decorative, festive lights for any occassion, you'll Read more [...]
Reusing has now been coined "up-cycling" too - especially when you create beautiful home decor or gifts out of what otherwise would be thrown away and sent to the garbage dump.
Check out this great video chock full of neat ideas:
I'm all about reducing, recycling and reusing (up-cycling) to save this planet and live in a greener way.

If you're looking for a fun, new twist for some entertainment, you might want to check out the Banana Shpeel!
Cirque de Soleil brings you a mixture of comedy, dancing styles such as tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick all brought together with a hilarious, roller-coaster-like story of adventures.
No, it's not a circus. It's not a musical. It's not even a variety show or vaudeville...
It's just wacky fun with intense choreography...Check it out for yourself:

Are you serious? I just got back last night from Dallas and it just happens to be the day before it's supposed to snow!
It snowed tonight in Buffalo, Toronto tomorrow and we're supposed to get freezing rain and possibly snow tomorrow night!
My goodness...So, it begins!
Once winter begins here, it lingers until end of April or so...
The later it starts, the happier us sun-lovers are in Canada, but it has happened to snow many times before Halloween...
I'm still praying it doesn't Read more [...]
My husband and I have a contract in on a house down here in Dallas right now - to actually live in ourselves for a change! LOL...
We look at houses on a daily basis for our real estate investing and don't really get our feathers ruffled by any pretty houses...However, when both of us saw this one - we both knew it had to be ours because we were oohing & ahhing every few seconds and just couldn't stop thinking about it!
We have been waiting almost 1 week for the bank to tell us if they'll Read more [...]
I just won a $500 giftcard for Talbots! (Well, not really - I'm just pretending - living vicariously through my imagination...LOL)
Well, if I did win one, what would I buy? Hmmm...
They have such beautiful and sophisticated pieces...These are my red chair confessions...LOL
I'm always drawn to the basics, first of all - a great fitting pair of jeans or dress pants, a fabulous white blouse in the season's style trend, basic t-shirts and long sleeves for layering. For cool weather, it is essential Read more [...]

I don't know about you, but I love online coupons...
In fact, whenever I'm checking out from a website where I'm purchasing, I open up another tab and look for promo codes or online coupons before I click the finish to pay button. You could save a lot of money instantly by doing a quick Google or Yahoo search.
Now that I gave you that shopping tip, I wanted to let you in on what kind of electronics we always purchase.
My hubby and I are pretty faithful Sony users and I've found a site that Read more [...]
I do a lot of working outside in the yard and gardens in Niagara Falls and in Dallas.
Hot days can fell very long and boring when you don't have any amusement other than weeding, bagging and mowing.
Garden wind chimes (aside from reminding me of the movie "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle"...LOL), make working in the yard much more fun, peaceful and tranquil.
You stop concentrating on all the hard labor you're doing and enjoy their beautiful sounds.
I like the bamboo and shell type Read more [...]
When I think about life, I often see it as simply moving things from one place to another.
What do I mean by that?
When you grocery shop, for example, you're moving the products you purchase from the store to your home.
When you cook it, it's being moved from the packages, is eaten and moved to your stomach.
Then, you move it out of your body, which then moves into the environment.
This, then will cycle back through, helping to create something that grows.
When you clean, you Read more [...]
Seriously? It's September already? Wow, how time flies!
Well, that also means Christmas is around the corner and you'll be looking for some ingenious ideas for the girls and women in your life!
So, I thought I'd compile some hot gifts for tweens, teens and adults.
Everyone takes a shower...Now, about drying off in style with snazzy and personalized towel wraps from Oh Mint?
Perfect for college kids, teenagers and any woman that likes to be a little bit pampered.
How cute are these? Read more [...]
My mother got me an absolutely stunning royal blue Nicole Lee USA purse last month for my birthday.
It's quite a bit larger than I'm used to, but I've fallen in love with it. (This photo absolutely does not do this purse and it's color justice!)
It's faux croc print, but made of leather and has about 1 dozen half zippers running right up from the bottom to the top of the purse.
It comes complete with two chunky tassles on each end at the top. The top of the purse is smaller than Read more [...]
Well, let's face it! Many of us wear or have to wear glasses...
...this is a daily thing and it should be fun and stylish to do. Why not?
So I thought I'd share with you great and inexpensive eyewear for $ 8 Rx eyeglasses (and up)...
We all need to take care with our finances right now, so that means shopping more intelligently!
I'm going to share with you 3 of My favorite high fashion eyeglasses from Zenni Optical:
Okay, these ones are $29.95 for the lenses & frames (however, Read more [...]
I'm posting a helpful article from Alexis Gould today to help everyone with their eyeliner application and to let them know what options they have by way of different types of eyeliners.
Personally, I don't wear much eyeliner, only liquid above the upper lashes in everyday life. However, when I'm at a shoot, the make up artists I work with use a wide array of eyeliners and applications. Check it out:

For any of you that really know me, you all know I like a little glitz, bling and dazzle.
I like anything shiny and sparkly! That's for sure! LOL...
Okay, not for everyday or on everything, but you definitely could use a dash of it in your daily wardrobe.
Sometimes that one accessory you use is a piece of Hip Hop Jewelry.
It can accent your look, give you that bling and not be too overwhelming with your outfit.
Now, hip hop bling isn't for everyone, but if you've got a little sass Read more [...]
