Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show

AND NOW for something COMPLETELY Different!

My friend sent this to me almost a year ago and I cracked up!
I found it again and decided it was something I HAD to share!
If you are like me and I grew up LOVING Pee Wee's Playhouse...you will find this silly and entertaining.

Oh, and here is a link to his follow up video

REDHEATHER

I just LOVE the colors!!!
As soon as I saw the redheather shop and the gorgeous pieces I knew I had to share his work.
Mr. Jerry Seguin is the master behind these rich and luxurious designs. "Formally trained in art & fashion, I like to push the boundaries and aesthetics of art and design." I think you will all agree he has an eye for color and a killer instinct for beauty!

Food Poisoning

Ugh.
Sorry for the lack of posts but I am still getting over food poisoning!
Sunday night's dinner killed me!
Ugh...nothing like getting friendly with my bathroom floor at 4:00 a.m. yesterday!
Promise to be back and have some great posts when I am feeling a bit better!
HOPEFULLY by tomorrow or Thursday!

FINALLY! New Bridal Silk Camellias with Freshwater Pearls, Swarovski crystals on Sterling Silver Wire

FINALLY!
New Silk Camellia Floral Feather Bridal Hair Accessories!
Each piece has a mixture of Freshwater and glass pearls, Swarovski crystals, on Sterling Silver wire with a accent of white feathers on one side.
A double prong clip secures this in any hair style.
SO PRETTY in person!

The flower is approximately 4 inches around.
I made a few of these without the feathers as well.
I LOVE these!
Yes, I am very happy with how this design turned out.

Candle Confections

Every now and then, on a quiet evening at home I enjoy the ambiance of a flickering golden glow from a candle. Sometimes I like to relax and pamper myself with a soothing milk bath and burn a few candles as well...basically, I LOVE candles!
However, I am allergic to SOY! My quest for SOY FREE, clean burning, non toxic candles has left me sad and depressed UNTIL NOW! (Seriously, after endless searches on line, the whole make it yourself team out there appeared to ONLY make SOY candles...OR SO I THOUGHT!!!)

Let me introduce you to Candle Confections...a bakery of non-edible sweets and treats! "HOLY Goodness Gracious" I say!
This is an amazing little find of high quality hand made candles and melts made with love by a talented Mom named Shelly.

"I always use what I've found to be the best waxes. Scent is very important to me, so I use the maximum amount of fragrance oil that the wax will hold in all of my candles and tarts. I use very few molds, which gives each candle a unique appearance. No two are the same. The "icing" on my cupcake candles, the topping on my loaf candles, and the cookie tart "dough" are all whipped by hand, just to name a few examples."




Smores Sweet-n- Grubby Loaf Candle



I first thought that this was a bake shop!
However, on closer inspection I see that these in fact are realistic looking candles and melts!




8 Harvest Berries Mini Cupcake Tart Melts



I mean, look at the DETAIL in these!
There are REAL PECANS in this candle!









Granny's Pecan Pie Grubby Jar Candle





Butter Brickle Candy Jumbo Cupcake Candle
I figure, "Who doesn't LOVE the smell of baked goods?!"
Yes, ALL the delicious fun without the calories and fat!
I am ordering a few and can't wait to receive them!
I surely will let you know when I get them!

Please feel free to visit her shop and try some too!
Let me know what you think!
:P

Have you ever just had "One of THOSE DAYS?!"
Yeah, I know I don't even NEED to ask this because we ALL have had them at one time or another...unfortunately some of us more them others!
You know, You are going to the store and there is only ONE parking space but the car next to it is half parked into the empty spot...which is probably WHY it's open but let's not think about the details in this example.
Well, here is the perfect item everyone MUST have in a situation like this by CarolLee Designs.

Strange Corridor

As a person that hasn't had my television hooked up for over four years now I realize how deprived I have been from viewing things of great INTEREST to me!!!
...and stuff that I never thought about but found terribly intriguing just the same!
All I can say is for the last few days I have been pretty glued to this site.
I mean, sure I have clicked away and checked out other things, places, my own site...but I seem to always go back! LOL! Even when eating my dinner I plopped myself in front of the computer to read this blog. (hmmm...perhaps not something I should have shared)
What am I talking about you ask?!
What am I rambling about?
Strange Corridor
I have always been fascinated with mysteries of unexplained events from our historical past or strange phenomenon that we still have yet to fully understand in the present.
If you are of like mind, then YOU MUST check out this site.
If anything, for the rest of you this will at least make for an interesting read!
Make sure you read the Chernobyl article...UNBELIEVABLE!
Nick Carlton, the author, makes some pretty relevant points, has documentation links, fantastic photos and amazing video to go along with the articles.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to go visit and take a look for yourself!

Sorry for not writing much today.
I worked on a client of mine this morning getting her ready for her video shoot today.
I'm telling you she is going to BLOW UP!!!
We've been working together for the last 5 years. She's like a little sister to me. The girl has some LUNGS on her. I think she's REALLY talented so I know she's going to makes it! I'll have links when they get the video up for you all to check out!

Other then that...
I have been working on my new Bridal Hair pieces...I hope to get a few pictures up this weekend!

Think creamy white Silk Camellias, Freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals on Sterling Silver wire!

NAACP IMAGE AWARDS

As I have mentioned before, I work as a professional Makeup Artist (over 15 years) I currently freelance with Shaun Robinson at Access Hollywood. She's such a beautiful woman. I always said she got lucky with her parents! LOL!
Basically, after a full day at the studio we had to get her ready and rush over to the NAACP Image Awards. Shaun looked so elegant in her watery bluish gray floor length gown. SO PRETTY! May I add that we nearly got in a car crash when our limo driver ran a VERY yellow light! Now, as anyone that knows me knows, after all these years I just don't get excited over celebrities. However, every now and then... I MUST confess that I was less then 3 steps away from Janet Jackson tonight and she WAS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in person! SERIOUSLY. No air brushing a photo here! Her skin just glowed and she was FLAWLESS! AND you KNOW I was ALL OVER LOOKING AT her face! (Since that's my job) LOL
I LITERALLY think my jaw dropped. She has always had the reputation of being a sweet and nice person...you could just tell she is a SWEETHEART! Honestly, glamorous beauty is really RARE in my business! I SEE right through all the makeup and she was RADIANT!
I am SO blubbering! LOL!
Oh yeah, and I thought it was cool to see Denzel Washington. I just think he's such a FANTASTIC actor!
So, that's my night...there was A LOT more but those were the main few that I was impressed in seeing in person. Oh yeah, and how can I forget seeing the guy that plays HIRO Nakamura! LOL! I wanted to yell, " HIRO! HIRO!" I'm such a nerd! I haven't even seen this years episodes yet!
Everyone was leaving to go to the after parties...Shaun and I decided to GO HOME! We were TIRED!

Alicia Bock Photography

"My photography is the search of light and shadows, pretty things in pink, the feeling of the ocean, and a blue moon. I strive to create photographs
that evoke memories of our favorite days." ~Alicia Bock








Solstace

I have been a huge fan of Alicia Bock for ages! I stare dreamy eyed at her work and tell myself I WILL have it hanging on my walls in my future! lol
Her photographs are simply captivating and I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time I look at them. Her sense of color and composition are perfection. Now, I am NO photographer BUT I think her skills as a photographer are truly phenomenal. The fact that she can create and share SUCH BEAUTY learning all on her own amazes me! Self-taught and truly gifted is what I say!





Hush
The few pictures I have selected to share just do not do her work justice as there are SO MANY to see! PLEASE take a moment to cruise over to her shop and take a look! I'm sure you will definitely see something that will look fabulous in your home or apartment! :P

She also donates a portion of each purchase to benefit Half the Sky Foundation
