Audrey Hepburn

On the eve before Audrey passed away, she read a favorite poem to her grandchildren entitled "Time tested Beauty Tips" by Sam Levenson. It's one of my favorites too. So I decided to post it.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed...

Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.

One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Bob Dylan says...

"Ah but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

Paul McCartney says...

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Y al final, el amor que recibes es igual al amor que haces ;)

Realize this...

You CAN be yourself and STILL work on yourself at the same time!

As hard as it might be, Try to....

• keep quiet when someone else is speaking.
• wait your turn.
• Share.
• Don't talk with your mouth full.
• Respect your elders.
• Don't be a nag.
• Stop whining.
• Say you're sorry.
• Look at people when they're talking to you.
• Don't run with sharp objects.
• Keep your voice down.
• Be nice.
• Say thank you.
• Clean up your own messes.
• Sit up straight.

Dating truths...

Dating truths I learned...

1.Chivalry is not dead -gentlemen still exist. If you haven't come across any, you're probably looking in all the wrong places. There are still guys who still believe they should be gentlemen but at the same token the woman should make sure to be a lady.

2.You've got to give props when props are due- When he opens the door for you, pulls out your chair etc. you must be appreciative and say thank you. Especially if you're the type to complain that chivalry is dead.

3.It's better when you take it offline. Facebook, Twitter and Myspace are a no go. Why have all your business across a facebook page? Wouldn't you prefer hearing eachother's voice on the good ol' telephone? It means more that you guys took the time out to call eachother and converse rather than some online nonsense.

Mae West says...

"A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up."

Ladies please....

Don't be loose, slutty, easy etc. You're ruining it for the rest of us. A woman who values herself and has high self-worth is not picking up a guy every weekend. How you handle your sexuality says a lot about who you are, your character, and your self-respect. You'll more than likely be judged, unfortunately, on how you handle this part of your life. Grab it by the horns and own it. If you don't put value on it, who will?

Keep in mind...

"Open your arms to change,

but don't let go of your values."

-Dalai Lama

Home smellin like burgers for a good cause!

I personally wouldn't want to indulge in the smell of white castle sliders unless an actual edible burger is at hand but hey, to each his own.

So these candles are $10 each but with a $25 purchase from the site you get a free car air freshner in case you want the burger smell to linger with you during your travels. Ugh, the thought gives me a headache.

They do look cute but I would have prefered a more appealing scent. Either way they're actually popular and currently sold out.
Anyway whatever you spend on these little guys goes to the Autism Speaks Charity.

If you're still interested go whitecastle.com
They have other stuff for purchase if you want that free car freshner. lol

If you don't have one already, we both must obtain these...

Etch a Sketch snitches! Simon!! Dude...i need one of these asap. That old school SIMON game, I cant find it anywhere! Oh man you gotta check out the actual Etch A Sketch Artist guy who did that 5 above that I had to post because I was introduced to the world on the 5th of its a secret.

so the site is........... http://www.etch-a-sketchartist.com/

SIMON where art thou?!!

Soft coated Wheaten Terrier

Irish Water Spaniel

Schnauzer

Chinese Crested

Bichon Frise

Shannyn Sossamon

So here we have Shannyn Sossamon. She's an absolute beauty, in my opinion. Plus I totally dig her haircut here. It looks great on her. Not to mention (though not pictured here) she has a stunning smile.

u2- live - with or without you

Bono's swag is crazy in this performance. he's the man. I love this song. Gotta have this in the pod.

Beyoncé - Why Don't You Love Me (Official Music Video)

I could be wayyyyyyy off but something about the melody in the chorus makes me think of Mark Ronson's stuff. Particularly his joint with Daniel Merriweather "Stop Me". I love that song, remind me to post it.

Who comes up with this stuff?

I tend to cogitate on random things at any given moment. This happens to be one of those moments. So I was wondering, who decided that the act of clapping denotes acquiescence, acknowledgment, appreciation, or gratitude? Imagine if instead of a positive, clapping was a negative? Like we would clap everytime we were upset, frustrated, disappointed, in disagreement etc. The faster we would clap would show how angry we were. lol. try it. its kinda funny. lol

The never ending search for...

Bubble Jug!!!! ugh I've been searching and searching to no avail. At one point it was easy to come across but not anymore :( I Love this stuff! It's ambrosial!
So if you know where I can get it, tell meeeeee.

Ipod must have part 2.

Because it's classic man. Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf

Natalia Kills - Zombie

I've been listening to natalia kills before she became natalia kills and still used Cappuccini in her name or even before that with her nicknames. Before will.i.am knew about her. I was always curious to see where she would end up. I'm glad she finally got signed man. She switched up her whole image but its a good look.

If you're going for the painter look.

Here we have Alexander Mcqueen jeans that I can make by just going to work. it happens naturally. but if you don't have a painters job, or if you do but you're so neat it doesnt get on your clothes then you can buy these for :::drum roll::: $570.

Phillip Lim Donahue

alexander mcqueen.

Voltron.

Man, you would not believe the bummed-ness i am experiencing today or at this moment. So basically in a nut shell, I asked my mom about my voltron toy that I've had for yearssssssssssssss since the 80's and she told me that she recently got rid of it. "WHAT!!!?" this is unheard of. a classic that i probably will never see again, is gone. So in loving memory, i have come across this photo of him pictured on the right in his vibrant yellow.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.

Cutler & Gross Flat tops

Oh man, as an eyewear person, I really appreciate these. They're like your traditional ray ban wayfarers except way better because they're cutler & gross, flat top and brown, which i dig very much.

Come on, for the summer?! bananas. If you could see the visuals I'm having, then you'd understand. They're simple, yes, and that's one of the best parts about them. Ugh, love 'em.

Still searching...

I know it seems like they're everywhere but they really aren't. They aren't always shaped right or whatever and I'm still looking for aviators with a dark tint on the lens.

I dig these two outfits.

Megan fox.

Supra Muska Skytop TUF

I looooove these. They're Unisex. Hopefully I shall obtain them sooooon :) If you know me, you understand why these work for me.

How to Remove Gum from your hair.

Hey it happens! Happened to me once. ugh.Isolate the gum/the hair with the gum.

• Apply ice on the gum until the gum breaks.


• Comb out the pieces.


• Wash yo hurr! (your hair).

How to Unclog a toilet.

• Remove most of the water.
• Plunge.
• Unbend a wire hanger; twist into the clog.
• Remove the hanger. Insert a drain snake.
• Rotate; pull to loosen the clog.
• Flush when the water begins to drain.

How to fix a hole in drywall.

1.Sand the rough edges.
2.Put joint tape over the hole.
3.Apply spackle and smooth it.
4.Let the spackle dry.
5.Sand it.
6.wipe with a damp sponge.

finished.

How to Sneak your arm around your date.

1. Wait till he/she is at ease.
2. Begin the classic yawn.
3. Stretch while raising your arm.
4. And then make the touchdown!

sidenote: if outdoors, use the cold, wind, or breeze as an excuse. Otherwise, cant help ya.

We're still working on the metal, velvet, and polyester...

but in the meantime, there's always good ol' sturdy leather!
Come on, we couldn't just settle for the traditional bandaids. you understand right?

Don't tell me this isn't cool.

Bacon goes with everything!!! Especially injuries. So why not just slap on one of these grease strips?

I'm thinking of adding them to my beef bandages. seriously though.

Ipods are just too heavy nowadays...

So lets just make our dogs carry them! If turning small dogs lifestyles into human children or fashion accessories isn't enough, let's turn them into walking radios! What a breakthrough!


The new and improved living, breathing ipod dock! With such acute and highly sensitive hearing, we know our dogs will appreciate speakers on their backs ;)

Because we strive for one thing...

And one thing only....

To take our dogs out of their species and make them feel like human children and deprive them from their happy natural canine lifestyle. We all know dogs love sitting up like we do! Might as well throw in some eating utensils.

I present the pet high chair for 50 bucks.

But of course, only small dogs are able to have their own highchairs because large dogs aren't sized like actual infant children.

Because your dog might feel insecure about the size of his tongue.

Listen, we all have insecurities. Don't think for a second that dogs are any different. But Alas! a solution! Humunga Tongue! For ten bucks you can give your dog the confidence he needs. Now he can finally get to those hard to reach places and be thoroughly clean. lol.


(there's a ball attached to the other side which is what's in the dogs mouth.)

For the loner whose dog isn't enough...

Here's a hand to hold. In case you've ever felt unsatisfied with the companionship of your dog and aren't happy with the fact that he uses all four paws to walk and wont spare one to hold your hand, just get one of these hand shaped dog leash thingies.

Ipod Must Have:

Boys of Summer by Don Henley

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

Sometimes I listen to this before going to sleep.

Norah Jones.

Norah Jones latest album cover is adorable. I haven't really checked out her latest album but I love a few songs from her first album. Her voice is really soothing and I couldn't really get tired of the texture of her voice. She puts me in a relaxed, peaceful, take it easy, happy mood. Plus she's easy on the eyes :) I saw the album and without hearing or knowing any of the songs, I wanted to buy it based off of the album cover alone. I love the photo and that saint bernard :)

Christian Louboutin Ni toi ni moi boots

Call me crazy but I absolutely love these booties. I'd go for the all black first. Unless you get a replica, these are 770 something Euros. That's all I need to know in order to keep them in my dreams. lol.

Freeze! and pick your Poop up!

Because not everyone enjoys picking up poop, this makes it a bit more tolerable. Presenting "Poop Freeze!" This thing is supposed to freeze your pets earthly donations into something much easier to deal with. It's non-flammable, doesn't destroy the o-zone, doesn't harm vegetation and you can use it indoors or outdoors. You just spray and wait 10 seconds. "Frost and toss!" lol

You can get this bad boy at amazon.com. I've never tried it so If you try it, let me know if it works.

Or you can just use those spray cleaners that you would use to clean your keyboard. Same thing to me.

Grass, Iguanas & the Grinch Part 1

Peas, flower stems, spinach, trees, etc. They've all been going green before anyone! But this isn't about you going green. This is about Man's best friend going green too. Yep you're dog can go green to a degree :)

So thanks to good old research I've come across Boiled Wool dog toys. I know it sounds weird but listen up...

Boiled Wool dog toys are like plush dog toys without the stuffing.

Here's why they're good stuff:

• 100% natural boiled wool


• Eco-friendly


• Completely biodegradable


• dishwasher safe and u can dry them in the sun afterwards.


• handcrafted in nepal with no seams or fillers


• Once your furchild chews a hole in it wont fall apart or shred.

You can check them out at Muttropolis.com

New Addition to my Fav Breeds List.

As I was walking the other day I came across a young lady walking an Australian Cattle dog. This particular breed never really caught my attention in the past but I looooved hers. I didn't have my camera on me but I found a picture online of what her dog looked similar to.

He was the adult version of this little guy. I was so intrigued by the color of his coat. If I were ever going to get another dog in the future, I might consider this breed.

For the Femme, love this...

MAC's "too fabulous" collection is my latest favorite makeup collection of MAC. I Looove the colors and I'm bummed that some of the items are limited edition.

The collection includes Mineralized blushes, lip liners, and cremesheen glass gloss.

Out of the Mineralized blushes, I love:

"Rhapsody in Two" which is a light pale pink & pale peach.

and

"Chic Couple" a light yellow brown & dark peach.

Out of the cremesheen glass gloss its hard to pick a favorite but I'm currently using:

"partial to pink" which is a light creamy pink

and

"Boy Bait" which I prefer over "Partial to Pink." It's a light neutral beige with pearl.

Freida Pinto.

She possesses such an invigorating, fresh beauty.

A different kind of beauty.

Jenny Shimizu.

She's beautiful and unique to me.
A different, incomparable kind of beauty.

My Rules Part 1.

In no order of importance.

1. Unless you're going for a photoshoot, dramatic makeup party, the drag queen look, joker look or are planning on staying home... don't put together bold eye makeup with a bold lip. It's one or the other unless you're looking for some type of attention.

2.You should never allow your lips to become so dry that they crack when you smile unless that's a look you're going for.

3. If you're unhappy with your physical fitness, majority of the time, it's most likely your fault. Only you can do something about it.

4. No one is better than anyone.

5.Don't try to be cool because that's uncool.

6.Think before you speak, seriously.

7.Be Humble no matter what.

Made up by Make up.

I've come to a point where I'm actually tired of makeup or just tired of putting it on. However I do like the result of it. It's fun and in my simple casual tomboy esque lifestyle it makes me feel girly. I'd say my makeup is the most complex part of my whole look but sometimes I really feel like I'd rather do without it. I just don't like the fact of feeling incomplete without eyeliner. lol. I do love eyeliner and I definitely adopted that from my mom. Liquid Eyeliner is my mom's signature "makeup do." It was also her mother's signature "makeup do." So I guess it's now being passed on to moi. Hey, I dig it but it's such a routine that once I'm not wearing it I feel like I can't see my eyes. lol The rest of my style is so bland that I think if I'm not wearing at least eye makeup, I'm even more of a plain jane.



Either way there are must haves that I cannot do without... you shouldn't either.



MUST HAVES before stepping out no matter what are:



1. face moisturizer (depends on your skin or especially in cold seasons)

2. mascara (for the femme)

3. lip balm or lip gloss (balm for the dudes.)

And for the femme: if you look tired or have dark circles under the eyes, then take a sec to dab on a little concealer under the eyes. Bright eyes are better :)

The Wangster, Alexander Wang.

So Alex Wang (pictured in the lower photo)

is one of my top favorite designers. I love the simplicity in his pieces. Laid back, chill, clean and solid. At the same time he can be multifarious.

I love the letterman jacket on the left. I own it in my imagination. It's like a modernized varsity jacket. Man I'd love to attend one of Wang's fashion shows. At least once before I die. lol We'll see what happens. If I were leaning towards the fashion industry I'd probably aim for an internship at Wang's inc. Since that's not that case then maybe I'll settle for a desk job? lol. I dont know.

i dig it.

<---Peep Nicole on the left of the pic. I really dig her haircut like that. If I could chop mine, totally would. I'm a slave to my hair. lol Chopping it would be a type of liberation for me from my slavemaster, aka my hair, but i like switching it up occasionally and I think with a haircut that short, I'd be stuck with it for longer than I'd like. Plus if it ends up looking bad, I'm fresh out of locks.
