What Had Me Thinking…

Published by

I can’t believe half the year is done with and with it, lots of unwanted changes have taken place in my life. I am hoping that the second half of the year would be more positive, and hopefully the bad streak of events are over and done with and I can start the healing and reshaping process. Because of all the weirdness, and I know I promised I wouldn’t address them here, but I am human after all and sometimes need to just say what’s on my mind – I have been researching more topics on self-help than I have ever. Kinda like these:

Architecture: The World’s 20 Best Loved styles

Published by

It’s sort of difficult to say really what cities architectures truly admire, or appreciate because, based on my travels, I consider every city or town I’ve been to most appreciated – in terms of architecture. But I get it, there is a certain standard or identity to styles which over the years have become most admired and made it to this list. Here are some of my favorites:  

Frank Lloyd Wright – Architecture Admired

Published by

One thing I do while travelling within the US, is see if I could detect which architect designed a building, a  house, or even a monumental structure of sorts. Mostly in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York,  I do lots of searching for that unique style – a structure or dwelling that stands out above the rest. In line with this topic, I found this interesting article about one of my favorite  – Frank Lloyd Wright – an illustrated guide to his work. Who’s your favorite architect?

Selfie or Not – That’s Been My Struggle

Well, more like taking any photographs of me at my best is a huge struggle. One, because I feel the one taking the photograph has no patience, which stresses me out. Two, because, it seems most photos of me are often taken when I am the least prepared – mouth wide open, laughing, or chewing, or eyes fluttering Three, let’s face it, because I am shy and hate posing for photos, especially ones where there are gawkers at bay. So, for those of you sharing in my struggle – here are two handful of suggestions to consider (see how I did that?) – which might help. And if it doesn’t then have a  glass of wine or two before the big SNAP! {featured image source}

A New Outlook…

Published by

As I’ve mentioned before, it’s been a struggle for me the past couple of months – trying to rationalize the changes in my life I never imagined possible. While I am doing my best to cope and mend, I decided Raw Silk and Saffron may not be the best place to pour out my feelings or emotions or whatever we go through when our hearts are broken. So, I am going to keep Raw Silk and Saffron all about the fun side of things and offer up this site which I’ve kept private until now, for all the other real-life topics in the raw, not sugar-coated, not diplomatic, just the real life facts and truth about – life, love  marriage and family. Hope to see you there. And if not, than glad you are here.

There is no question about the fact that we all thumb through article after article online on just about everything and sometimes we skim through them and other times we actually stop and read and apply, for example: From Left to right: 1. 15 Foods we should never eat? 2. The two-week body-makeover plan starts here. 3. What Jennifer Aniston does to make 48 look 28 – I am taking notes 4. Loving this detox tea – no matter the season 5. What gynecologists want you to stop eating 6. How to reverse aging – is all we women think about
