Hot Stuff

From Susu' World, 2 days ago, Similar articles

What if we all felt so-oo sexy, all of a sudden… Struck a pose, just because. Giggled away. A time or two. My dear Anne and her wondrous cupcakes. Pecan caramel. Melt away, will ya! A night out at friends’. BBQ and funny home-made films. I picked up the cutie in the very middle. Life after anorexia is generous. It eats cupcakes that dear friends lovingly bake. It feels all sizzling and sexy. Weird saying that out loud, yet these are very the words that heal and soothe....

Beauty and marketing

From Gweipo , 3 days ago, Similar articles

Sometimes it is possible to get things just horribly wrong.  My dear children and husband gave me the luxury of a facial yesterday morning as a mother's day gift.  90 minutes of pampering (I can't remember when last I had a facial).  It was great.  But then after, the beautician sat me down and did the hard sales talk on me.  Was I aware that I had wrinkles.  Well, duh, shock horror, I'm 46, if I didn't there would be something rather un-natural about the matter....

Dear children, just please don't give me pink eye for mother's day

From Life is Good, 4 days ago, Similar articles

Anything I'd hoped to achieve the past week has completely gone out the window. I mentioned in the last post that D came down with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. He had a pretty mild case... but a few days later Quinn came down with it, too, and has had a harder time of it (poor thing still has blisters on his hands, feet, and butt, though thankfully his mouth hasn't seemed to bug him much).  Then on Wednesday, when I'd planned on D going back to school, he woke up with pink eye which has...

The Story of Leggerezza

The Story of Leggerezza

From At Home In Rome, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

The story of leggerezza begins … well, I don’t really know where it begins, exactly. All I know is that it ends in a tattoo on my upper arm, about t-shirt sleeve length and width, inked on my the weekend of my 35th birthday in Amsterdam by easily the world’s best tattoo artist EVER (Marco Serio I heart you, yes I do!) and designed by the world’s best friend and best artist EVER (Ele my dear you are the one for me!). Folks, what can I say' In June I will mark eleven...

From My Marrakesh, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles

Dear friends, I'm leaving tomorrow for my little US book tour for Marrakesh by Design.  I can't tell you how much it would mean to me to meet you!  My connection to you in this olive grove of mine in Marrakesh is mostly virtual.  Wouldn't it be so nice to meet in real life' Here's the schedule below.  It's going to be a little bit of a balancing act on my part:-) WASHINGTON, DC Thursday, May 3, 6:00 p.m. WASHINGTON DESIGN CENTER, 300 D Street...

First Anniversary! (with photos!)

First Anniversary! (with photos!)

From Mama(e) in Translation, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles

One year ago, we moved into our house! It was raining A LOT, just like it was today! The closing had been the easiest, fastest closing ever, and our dear friends drove all the way from PA to help us, together with my parents who were already here with us.We love our house and we're happy to be homeowners again, our tenth year. It's a relatively small house (1700 sq ft), but it's perfect for us. It's even more perfect because it was extremely well taken care of and we didn't have to do any...

Asking

From The Bold Soul, 4 weeks ago, Similar articles

It is not often I would ever use my blog to solicit donations for any cause. But this is different, and I respectfully ask you to please read the following. As I've mentioned recently, I have a very dear high school friend named Dwight, who about five weeks ago was suddenly diagnosed -- seemingly out of the blue, after only two weeks of "abdominal discomfort" -- with Stage 4 cancer (neuroendocrine, which is one of the more rare forms). He is only 50 or 51 years old, and has a...

Speck Candyshell case + Photojojo lenses = WIN!*

Speck Candyshell case + Photojojo lenses = WIN!*

From Life is Good, 1 month ago, Similar articles

*Ahem, this is not a give-away post. Just to be clear. Noting my obsession with "iphoneography" two dear friends gifted me the Photojojo set of 3 detachable cell phone camera lenses for Christmas.  AWESOME! The only problem: the lenses attach to your phone via a magnetic ring that you glue to the phone itself, and my then-current iphone case (an Otterbox Commuter that I have otherwise been very happy with) wasn't compatible with this magnetic ring. In order to use the lenses I'd have to...

Making Small Change

Making Small Change

From Polly Vous Francais?, 1 month ago, Similar articles

This weekend I was with my dear friend Nina at a charming little grocery store on Long Island. As usual, when I was paying, I fumbled in my wallet, dumping the coin-purse part upside down into my cupped hand in order to rid myself of all the dreaded change which weighs down my pocketbook. "I just hate loose change, don't you'" I remarked to Nina."Well. Yes....but I guess I'm always afraid of being the jerk at the front of the line whom everyone hates because she's taking up time while she...

On Death (although it's not all that sad)

From Sietske in Beiroet, 1 month ago, Similar articles

A dear friend of mine has left for the States, and is currently sitting alongside the bed of her mother, witnessing how her mom has decided to slowly let go of life. And although it is sad to see someone close and dear to you die, when it comes in old age, after a full life, there is something special about being able to be there and help in those last moments. She finds it an incredible experience, and feels privileged to be there. Her mom ? of this I am convinced ? waited for her daughter...
