As a product reviewer, copy writer & blogger, I spend a great deal of time at my desk, so Desk life requires a lot of creativity to stay interested & focused, that's why I try to change things up daily! When out & about town, I look for inspirations every where I go. The tiniest things can spark the imagination, I carry two notebooks and use my iPhone constantly to record notes about the things I see & could quite possibly include in my writing, sometimes, I just bring what I love home with me!
One of my favorite quotes! Who doesn't love witty & pretty!
Dale Chihuly is an amazing artist! I took this video at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens!
Then I purchased one of his book of works the next day! Lovely stuff!
As you can see throughout my posts, flower arranging is one of my other favorite things! I love fresh flowers on my desk daily!
I love Fashion & this book! It's fantastic for all ages!
I love jewelry too! This is from one of my many collections! Gorjana necklace and Loren Hope bracelet! Visiting Tony Bowls showroom in Atlanta is like walking through the closet of a fairy tale! Gorgeous gowns!
The Balvenie! Choice whisky! I attended a press event during the American Craft Council and sipped my way right into a major buzz! Really good stuff! Loved the Portwood!
Snipping bright pink azalea and admiring my Grandmother's beautiful garden chair!
One of many of Atlanta's beautiful days! I snapped this as I walked out of a meeting!
Not one to be celebrity struck, however, meeting the super sweet and talented Whitney Port was so refreshing!

Cobalt! Lapis! Turquoise!
Pigment rich shades for day or night! This season's look is all eyes on you!
Choose a blue that best suits your skin-tone, then play it up with a tiny smidgen of a neutral or a bit of a metallic in the corners of the eye and at the brow!
Want to add a little modern twist as well?! A vixenish cat eye using a liquid liner should do the trick!

Ethereal design has always been my favorite creative form.
Beautiful & delicate things that float effortlessly & elegantly, almost as if they barely exist.
Surreal.
Below are two pieces that I fell in love with today. Enjoy.

I have been many things in my life, but my humble beginnings actually started in cosmetics! When I lived in New York, I worked for beauty giant Estee Lauder, and being so close within the confines of the corporate office at Herald Square taught me three very important things!
1. Always look polished. Your face is the first thing people notice, so there absolutely isn't one excuse for not being on top of this. Not one. Plus, Mrs. Lauder would occasionally float through the offices and spread her lovely admiration, and I felt bad for the girl who stayed out the night before and looked haggard the next day. I never wanted to be her, and I never was.
2. Clean skin is meant for make up, and when I say 'clean skin', I mean well taken care of skin. I love it when people compliment me on my skin. It is a labor of love. I find it interesting when some think that it is all hereditary. If you could see the arsenal of cleansers & treatment, then you would understand that nothing should be taken for granted. And as I age, I absolutely DO NOT take advantage of this! You shouldn't either.
3. Looking great inside and out is equally as important!
Estee never missed a beat with this one!
We may gain weight, or lose weight; a blemish may pop up, but will eventually disappear; environmental changes wreak havoc on our skin, taking or changing necessary medicines can take their toll on overall health, however, we must always take care of ourselves!
Life gives us an amazing amount of challenges, and some are really hard on our looks as well as our hearts.
Be kind to yourself and others, it softens life's blows & obstacles that keep us gorgeous, inside and out!
