interior decor with domino magazine

Published by

I love it when a company revamps their website for the better, thinking thoroughly about what they need to accomplish to stay competitive without sacrifying quality. I have to say, I was completely surprised and happy to hear Domino Magazine has made a comeback, IN FULL FORCE. They have redesigned their site, so that if you like something they used to create their tastefully unique decor, you can actually click and find the details of that particular product to incorporate into your own style of decor, eliminating all guesswork. I am inspired, inching even closer to what I need to acomplish to achieve my personal goals. Thank you Domino Magazine for filling my head with ideas. {Click here to buy Domino’s Holiday edition}

photojournaling my commute

I’ve been quiet, I know, for a couple of days. It’s not like me for sure, but you know there are days, when you just stand around waiting for the bus, over and over again, and think – Something needs to change. It’s time to make another change, an upgrade if you will to everything I do. A new wardrobe maybe, a remodel of some sort, a shift in blogging. Something. Something has to change. It’ll come to me, I know it. In the meantime, I snapped these wonderful images with my cell, playing around with the i-phone camera upgrade 🙂

considering a short hairdo

Published by

Every fall, not sure why, I get the urge to chop my hair off – then I retract my decision and go into the salon asking for a simple trim. I found some interesting styles to choose from, but do I dare take the risk. I mean hair will grow back, and I know this, but if it’s not the right short do, the style tends to age me much more than I want it to. Not to mention the fact, how much I hate the in-between style while I wait for my hair to grow back. What do you think – would you dare try a new style after 40? {SOURCE CLICK here}

can’t i just stay here

Getting back into the swing of things after my flight back to the US, is probably the most difficult thing to do. It almost feels like I was in a coma and now am awake, trying to stand up on my own two feet, stumbling mostly. The only glue that’s holding me together right now, is the fact, my loyal dog won’t leave my side. It’s really difficult to be me right now. So, please stand by and I will get it together enough to share again, my opinion on most anything. 😉

thoughts on vacations

Published by

When I plan my annual trip, privately, and once confirmed send a global message to my co-workers announcing that I’ll be out of the office, some frown upon the fact, that I choose to travel. Although I respect their opinion, I cannot for the life of me understand how they go an entire year, without taking a single day off from work other than the usual weekends and company sponsored holidays. The ten days I spend away from the norm, not only revives my soul, it helps me think, plan and make a list of goals I would like to accomplish in the upcoming year. Not to mention the fact, gives me the courage to push for what I really want out of life. Call me crazy, but how do people go on, bypassing any type of vacation and saving their earned time off for a rainy day instead? On my last and only day in Paris to catch a flight back to the U.S. the sun came out miraculously from a week or more …
