Earth Day!

This picture is from a very cool book that we own Earth From Above


So...today being Earth Day, I thought it would be fun to find out what each of us do to be green.


~Do you use "earth friendly" cleaners?

~Do you recycle?

~Do you take your own bags to the grocery store?

~Do you garden naturally?

~Do you still use paper towels?


There are so many more things...share how you are"going green"!

An Artful way to display my jewelry~

I recently did a little "re-do" with my jewelry.
I had watched a Tracy Porter video, where she used different vessels to hold lots of her jewelry....so I took all my jewelry out of the boring jewelry box....and I found a couple of old silver trays and piled in lots of bracelets...a cool small dress form now holds all of my necklaces ( I love them all piled on top of each other)...and just yesterday I found this cute little silver 3 tier tray to hold all my cocktail rings and dangle some earrings off of...I love how artful and interesting it looks now, and I feel like I am shopping when I am picking out my jewelry!

Need a little COLOR??



....on your body? I LOVE to be tan. I love the way I feel when I am tan, but my days of BAKING in the sun are over. I admit when I am on vacation I do lay in the sun because it feels so good. Of course, as I have gotten older I am much more conscience of using sunsreen and wearing a hat to protect my face.

Here in the Northwest, you could tend to look a little "pastey" ...so this is my "go to" spray tan! I have used quite a few, but I love this one. It really is practically mistake proof, the spray is so fine, and the color gradual. The lastest version has a new spray tip that I think is going to make it even better!

I, of course, do not use spray tan on my face...so to give myself a little color there as well, I love to use a bronzer. I am a big fan of Bare Escentuals and their Warmth is my favorite...a little goes a LONG way, so this jar last a really long time!!



So....if you're feeling like you need a little color, give these a try!
