White.

There is this beautiful tree at the end of my street.

Some would say that it's messy.

Some would say it creates a mess on the street and in others people's yards.

But I don't see the mess. I see the shade it provides and the beautiful faux white wonderland that It creates in hot hot hot southern California.

I guess everything just depends on how you look at it.

Happy Friday. Have a great weekend!

Tomorrow when you wake up.....

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

Dior.

Dior Spring 2012 collection.

Beautiful spring collection full of pretty pastels. The shadows might be a bit hard to wear however, I find if you just do a wash of one of the colors over the lid with some mascara and eyeliner it is a great palette for spring.

The polishes are to die for! I prefer the purple (forget me not) for the fingers and the green (waterlilly) for the toes.

Also in the collection is another 5 shadow palette, 2 new lipsticks, two new glosses, and a beautiful little Dior collectors clutch (including 3 shadows and two glosses).

If you can only buy one thing from the collection: go for the purple nail polish!!

Sparkle in the dark.

*What you'll need.

1. Mod Podge glue/sealer.
2. Craft glitter.
3. Small bowl.
4. Paint brush.
5. Any kind of clear vase.
6. Fake or fresh flowers.
7. Mod Podge spray sealer.

*What you'll do.

-Pour your Mod Podge and craft glitter in a bowl and mix together to form a really thick paste.

Paint a thick coat of the mixture all over the outside of the vase. The purpose of this is to add texture to the outside. While it is still wet pour a fair amount of the craft glitter all over the vase.

Next spray a couple of coats of your sealer over the glitter to ensure that no glitter comes off when handling your new vase in the future


And there you have it....

The Santa Monica Pier in February.

They were all yellow.

Pink will always be my favorite color but recently I have been wanting to surround myself and buy everything in yellow. Yellow sweaters, summer dresses, shoes!!! I'm obsessed.

Some interesting things about yellow....

The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Always use yellow note pads.

Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love. Sunday's color is yellow-gold.

Yellow Energy
Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness. The shade of yellow determines its effect: Yellow-green can mean deceit, and creates a disoriented feeling. Orange-yellow imparts a sense of establishment. Clean light yellow clears the mind, making it active and alert.

Put some yellow in your life when you want:

clarity for decision-making
relief from 'burnout', panic, nervousness, exhaustion
sharper memory and concentration skills
protection from lethargy and depression during dull weather

And of course THIS

Happy Saturday!!!
