Ovarian Cancer Research

Such a great cause to support by going to the web page: http://www.kelly-confidential.com/.
Kelly Ripa and Electrolux have teamed up to support Ovarian Cancer Research and we are able to open virtual Lemonade stands. I'm in process of adding the badge to my blog, but have to use the lap top to added (ugh, these security blocks!).

Create your own stand and support your friends' stands! My stand is Shari's Lemonade Stand. Hope you will visit often!

Memorial Day

gggrr! I wrote one of those 'blogs in advance' to have it post bright and early yesterday morning, but obviously something went terribly wrong! No posting and no honoring of our veterans and those in the armed forces today. Well, it is never too late to honor them and express a huge 'thank you' for our freedom.

Celebrity Website

I have to admit that I enjoy learning about how certain celebrities get that certain style and always seem to be so organized and put together. As a consummate organizer and style aficionada, I found a website by Gweneth Paltrow and signed up for its weekly newsletter. Actually after I had my hair cut on Wednesday a co-worker mentioned to me that I should look at it if I liked Gweneth. I do, so I did! What is interesting to me is that she does amazing things, travels to one of my favorite places, Paris, and also completely enjoys being a mom to her children. Allot like us (well, my children have wool, but don't mention that to them; sorry Tealle!)

view her website for an enjoyable read! www.GOOP.com

Great New Website

I just joined a great new website that one of my connection on Linked In has started. It is a really fun place to go with some incredible women doing amazing things. You can even have your own blog on it! Its called Suitespot.com. A place for professional, interesting women to connect and discuss ideas and business. I've added a link to my blog so that everyone can visit the site.

One is example of an great undertaking is a book that one of the women is writing AND the number of words she is writing per week. I've always fancied the whole concept of writing so I'm certainly going to learn a few tips from her! I could live in Europe and write when I retire! Or keep working and live in Europe and write! (there's a pattern here!)

Enjoy!

Master Bathroom

I'm working on redesiging my master bathroom and today I saw this picture of a beautiful bathroom in an HGTV email that I received! It is so spa-like! I'm still looking for wall colors, a perfect red, but I LOVE this beautiful aqua!! Maybe I should rethink my plan!

Domino Magazine - Found

So many of us are very saddened at the closure of the home style and design magazine, Domino. It's last issue was in March 2009. Well, I thought I had missed out on the issue. Today at lunch I walked across the street to Home Depot to purchase Polyurethane for my final step to to the beautiful chocolate color bathroom cabinets I have painted. Just by chance I looked at the magazine, and there it was DOMINO! There were about 4 copies left, so maybe Home Depot has extra copies!

Lumigan - Eyelash Growth

Its been about 7 months now that I have been using Lumigan, for eyelash growth. Well, not exactly intended for this purpose, buy my dermy had to actually cut her eyelashes because they grew so long! In my case, I purchased it to try to restore very overplucked eyebrows....(enough said!) but I am enjoying the benefits of the long eyelashes!

Since I've been using all the products from Rodan+Fields, I've been really giving my skin a critique to determine that they are in fact working on my skin (I've never had such hydrated skin, and I'm known for buying some very pricey high-end products. I always say that I could have 2 or 3 rentals with all my product money over the years!), I'm really frustrated that my eyebrows are taking their time to grow. GRRRRRR! I'm going to have them shaped next weekend; at least they no longer resemble "commas".
