“Music Is The Lamb That Has Made a Lion of Me” | October 20, 2009

“Music Is The Lamb That Has Made a Lion of Me”

“Music Is the Lamb That Has Made a Lion of Me”

I’m not sure where  this quote is from, nor who wrote it for that matter, but please accept this “unknown” accreditation; to the marvel that wrote these words: “Music is the lamb that has made a lion of me”.

First, I must describe the positive characteristics of a lion. Lions are loyal; they are known as ‘the king of the jungle’. Lions have a great sense of protection of their pact and family; they are associated with bravery and passion. The meaning of a lion in this quote is … Read More »

Princess Principles | October 20, 2009

Princess Principles

I am noticing a strange pattern in my personal life these days. It all started at work, when I asked a colleague for something. He replied, “Yes, princess” and smirked. Perturbed at the character assumption I just brushed it off.   Oddly enough, the next week another co-worker remarked at my supposed regal title.  I was talking to my lady Meghan about it and she just laughed and told me that I was, in fact a princess.

Pardon me?

It is my own personal belief that pseudo princesses are spoiled, pampered and not the most humble. A princess in the societal term refers … Read More »

EyeBrow Beauty | October 20, 2009

EyeBrow Beauty

Eyebrows – they are so important to our face! After all, they help show our different expressions and emotions throughout the day. Not only this, but they are a vital factor in showing the shape of our face.

However, many women and men will be quick to admit that they can also prove to be a nuisance as well. The waxing, plucking, tweezing and torturing is not what we want to sign up for. Especially because this is often only the first step in having beautiful brows. Afterwards, most women still have to fill them in and hope they stay in … Read More »

Project Runway Interview- Qristyl Frazier | October 19, 2009

Project Runway Interview- Qristyl Frazier

New York City gal, Qristyl Frazier was eliminated from Project Runway Season 6 on LifetimeTV, but we couldn’t wait to get a chance to talk to this very talented designer.

CG: Qrystyl, can you share a little bit about yourself and how you got started?

Qristyl: In high school, I was supposed to take a typing class and the class was full, so I had the option of taking either cooking or sewing. Once I was in the class, sewing became very interesting.

Being the youngest of three children and coming from a divorced household, I did not have as much … Read More »

Organize Your Home 10 minutes Each Day | October 19, 2009

Organize Your Home 10 minutes Each Day

Are you over whelmed by paper and clutter?  Clutter can make you feel as though you are suffocating in your own home.  I don’t know about you but I feel out of sorts when things are out of place.  I realize that I am a Professional Organizer and you would expect nothing less, but if you are honest with yourself…don’t you feel better when everything is put away? I think you owe it to yourself and your family to make your home a safe haven for all of you to enjoy and relax in.

Each day, time is lost searching for missing … Read More »

Feathered | October 19, 2009

Feathered

This season is all about 40’s glamour with a twist of rock. Most of the clothing that came off the runways is feminine, elegant and in deep colours that reminisce of the “old world”. One of my favourite things about the fall trends this year is that it has reminded us to be more playful and expressive in our attire with head pieces! You’ll see hats, headbands, pins, and other accessories in all different flavours to give our outfits a chic, and polished look.

I’m so excited about this trend, because one of my favourite movies is the classic, “My Fair … Read More »

Wedding Etiquette

Noun 1. etiquette  – rules governing socially acceptable behavior

There are so many religions, cultures, and customs in the world today, it can be hard to keep track of what is deemed ‘appropriate’ behavior at any social function. Weddings in particular have their own set of rules. When you combine that with all of the different customs, cultures and religions – weddings all of a sudden become a complex event to plan!

Etiquette comes into play right away during the planning process from the invitations all the way to handling the gifts at the end of the day. For example, the … Read More »

Ten Steps to a Happy, Healthy Remarriage | October 17, 2009

Ten Steps to a Happy, Healthy Remarriage

Ten Steps to a Happy, Healthy Remarriage
By Wednesday Martin, Ph.D.,
Author of Stepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do

Don’t call them deadbeats. Research shows that today’s fathers are spending more time with their kids than ever — an average of  nearly three and a half hours a day more than Dads did just a few decades ago. Kids and fathers alike are reaping the benefits of dad’s greater commitment; more time spent together, experts say, sows the seeds of closeness. But the flipside of this trend is that it makes divorce more … Read More »
