Holiday Wishes

With only a few days left till Christmas I am ready to finish up a few last things and get down to enjoying time with family and friends.  I want to say thank you to everyone who follows my blog. I know I disappear from time to time but I really appreciate your support as well as your great inspiration! 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Holiday Spirit

Even though it's not December yet, the Holidays are upon us!  I am excited to get into the full swing of things around here and see if I can catch that holiday spirit. How do you prepare for the season? I would love to hear some ideas!

This table is beautiful, not much room for food, but very dreamy

I hope you have a wonderful relaxing day planned!

Surrender Box

There are times when our minds become too full. Our to-do lists, worries, plans, and dreams may be so crowded together in our heads that we don’t have room to think. We may believe that we are somehow taking care of our desires and concerns by keeping them at the forefront of our minds. In maintaining our mental hold on every detail, however, we may actually delay the realization of our dreams and the resolution of our worries because we won’t let them go. At times such as these, we may want to use a surrender box. 

A surrender box allows us to let go of our worries and desires so the universe can take care of them for us. We write down what we want or need to happen and then place the note into a box. By writing and placing our thoughts in the box, we are taking action and letting the universe know we need help and are willing to surrender our feelings. We give ourselves permission to not concern ourselves with that problem any longer and trust that the universe is taking care of it. You may even want to decorate your box and place it in a special place. Your surrender box is a sacred container for your worries. Not only do you free up space in your mind by letting go of our worries and desires and dropping them into your surrender box, but you are giving your burden over to a higher power. Once we drop our worries and desires into the surrender box, we free our minds so we can be fully present in each moment. 

Surrendering our worries and concerns and placing them in the hands of the universe doesn’t mean that we’ve given up or have been defeated. Instead, we are releasing the realization of our desires and the resolution of our worries and no longer concerning ourselves with their outcomes. It’s always fun to go back and pull the slips of paper out of the box once your requests have been granted. And it’s amazing how quickly problems go away and dreams come true when we finally let go and allow a higher power to help us.

Tribute To Steve Jobs

Being a art major in college and two degrees in Visual Communications.....Steve Jobs was definitely talked about and praised for being probably one of the best innovators of our time. He death has really saddened me and I felt compelled to make a tribute in my own little way.  Even though he is gone, he has left us such a great legacy. He has revolutionized personal computing into both an art and a science. He has discovered ways to make computing much easier and efficient. His imagination and perseverance have inspired countless lives and his designs have definitely created a bond between peoples. As he once said, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” True to his word, he has led Apple to create gadgets that are both good to look at and pleasurable to use.
Words will never suffice, but along with the rest of the world, we are grateful for everything he accomplished. As a tribute, here are some art pieces inspired by Steve Jobs.

Jimmy Choo Fragrance

Jimmy Choo has launched its first fragrance early this year, and I just now had a chance to experience it. Imagine femininity, luxury, and style...bottled.  I love it...  It contains Tiger Orchid, sweet Toffee and Indonesian Patchouli which is heavenly to me. Any thoughts or experience on this one?

Can't Live Without

Wanted to share with you a few cosmetic items that I discovered and will never look back. 

I feel lost in the dust to just now discover  Moroccan Oil hair treatment line. My awesome hairdresser introduced me and now I want to shout it from the rooftops!  This product line does not test on animals and with the dry Arizona weather, the Original Moroccan Oil Treatment has been a godsend.  

This modern NARS compact will be with me if I'm ever stranded on an island. It's wonderful, it feels like silk and stays on almost all day. The quality and length of wear of the eye shadow is amazing. I highly recommend.

Breakfast At Tiffany's

“I don’t want to own anything until I know the place where me and things belong together. I’m not quite sure where that is just yet. But I know what it’s like… it’s like Tiffany’s… What I’ve found does the most good is just to get in a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. It calms me down right away, the quietness and proud look of it; nothing very bad could ever happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits… If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name.” -Breakfast at Tiffany’s (novel), by Truman Capote

What are you doing this weekend?

A Nestrest

This is something I really want!

The nestrest is a hanging pod lounger, hanging from high quality fibers. It is large enough for the average human, reminds me of a birds nest. How cute!
