After a long absence, we finally get to see some of the best talents, and I'm so glad to see familiar faces this season. I have a slight edge because I actually got to meet and view Bishme's collection at LAFW (2017) from the front row, as a fashion blogger. I adore Brittany's designs, as well as Fabio's. It is going to be a wonderful season, and I can't wait to see which designers make it to the top. I have so much respect for Christian and of course Nina, there's some valuable input there and I hope this team listens to the suggestions. These challenges are meant to bring out the best of the best, refine those skills and push you to be who you can be.</div><div aria-controls=":1iu" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":1iu" class="Am Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":1g8" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 238px;" tabindex="1"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hz-xaXgimIMp_4Pyg8mMefF_ogfhFZ0VOKFi61AI_kUoEsK11RnOk1_0UfGFRfk8QKjPSDNrHf1yWzLE_ccp_i-o9cuUm1PT7VArgRJq_yNbJqEsvNEUej74apoCmXWS_AGx70VAe7uy7pzKXVLGwh-93WHNAn__NFBNrq_Aje0nWe_8LbZ4Det-D__e/s1918/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-3965557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1918" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hz-xaXgimIMp_4Pyg8mMefF_ogfhFZ0VOKFi61AI_kUoEsK11RnOk1_0UfGFRfk8QKjPSDNrHf1yWzLE_ccp_i-o9cuUm1PT7VArgRJq_yNbJqEsvNEUej74apoCmXWS_AGx70VAe7uy7pzKXVLGwh-93WHNAn__NFBNrq_Aje0nWe_8LbZ4Det-D__e/w427-h640/pexels-ksenia-chernaya-3965557.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div aria-controls=":1iu" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":1iu" class="Am Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":1g8" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 238px; text-align: left;" tabindex="1"><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">-- Let's talk about Episode 3<br /><br />OMG, I almost got giddy, All Stars, and an unconventional materials challenge?

In a previous post, I introduced you to the world of all things Zaharoff and had to revisit to give a review of George's latest that is about to rock the world once again. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0i2PqQfieqSCqH-rUm3MsyJhvhUQtHmAj4DpeoxSpF3LXbhm5TpC_HYieOYt-6nd0PJ0NWlSQ_E_c98r6NFp33Vu8znN4NZy8fZMatJweu31k1tH4_oblIC5jRF3AVC2dAfDOOmNNQlX/s642/imageedit_8_5542717332.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="430" data-original-width="642" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0i2PqQfieqSCqH-rUm3MsyJhvhUQtHmAj4DpeoxSpF3LXbhm5TpC_HYieOYt-6nd0PJ0NWlSQ_E_c98r6NFp33Vu8znN4NZy8fZMatJweu31k1tH4_oblIC5jRF3AVC2dAfDOOmNNQlX/w400-h268/imageedit_8_5542717332.gif" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>This starts off with a yummy drift of rose and vanilla, then melds into a delightful waft of red poppy, that gives it a little spice, you'll pick up hints of incense and oud.

Make no mistake, this is not a flowery scent, but it is a celebration and tickles the nose as you pick up hints of a carefully crafted smokey rose. I received so many compliments and the wearability is wonderful. I have odd body chemistry and prefer something with a musky, amber base, this lasted for a full eight hours without touchup and a bit lingered into the next day, like a trail of incense left from a burning stick, or the memory of a night well spent. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEN9qgVPgwYVKYZgB4VzQHr2W0oHLvfuGnbPyDSPskIfuCS2j9Aew-rOV6UtVB9AtMGBuHwMK0-EPkLwXxRrJ2V3vsA8NNy3OPWKrGmVdiVC9s47F7Qr1jRYO1xEpZuSGQqjsjprpo9WM/s574/imageedit_12_9915576059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="418" data-original-width="574" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEN9qgVPgwYVKYZgB4VzQHr2W0oHLvfuGnbPyDSPskIfuCS2j9Aew-rOV6UtVB9AtMGBuHwMK0-EPkLwXxRrJ2V3vsA8NNy3OPWKrGmVdiVC9s47F7Qr1jRYO1xEpZuSGQqjsjprpo9WM/w400-h291/imageedit_12_9915576059.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I'm enchanted with it, and will definitely be purchasing a bottle to cast my own spell.

These samples were sent to me and I just decided to do a quick scent of the day rundown. I really liked both of these, but if I had to choose one, the most long-lasting was the Tom Ford Black Orchid. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you're a beauty and fragrance enthusiast like me, I would highly recommend joining Influenster. It is a community of gals and guys who are passionate about all things in the industry. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>YSL Libre Perfume</b> has quickly become one of my scents of the day. At first, I wasn't sure if it would be as long-lasting as I had hoped for. I have unusual chemistry and some scents just don't last, or the top notes just turn me off. This one warms on the skin nicely, and it isn't just fluff. This comes off a bit citrusy at first, thanks to top notes of Mandarin, Lavender, and Black Currant then drifts into a deeper dreamy note of Orange Blossom and Jasmine and a sweeter version of Lavender, then leaves behind a memory with Vanilla. Musk and Cedar. It is a fragrance that makes a very flirtatious statement. This is pricey, and like most of the newer scents out there, I'd be lucky to afford the body lotion, just being honest here, but it is well worth investing in. Overall, beautiful scent. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHonWAOD9J4PNlwRyUEbfIQTJmADepdE-U37FGRYTBHi-7YIGk3Z9OOfoAfp0fuWRbUHUBVQNzLa-w19rzI2dspSu6NWTXE2tWqE3W2DPaiv-MGTXcXRbFM9VfVHPsId0RN3e5AtNDE-f/s2048/20210103_094219_resized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqHonWAOD9J4PNlwRyUEbfIQTJmADepdE-U37FGRYTBHi-7YIGk3Z9OOfoAfp0fuWRbUHUBVQNzLa-w19rzI2dspSu6NWTXE2tWqE3W2DPaiv-MGTXcXRbFM9VfVHPsId0RN3e5AtNDE-f/w360-h640/20210103_094219_resized.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Tom Ford Black Orchid</b>. Oh, this one is nice! Once again, I've fallen for a scent at first spray. This one is definitely on my "make sure to buy" list. I love OUD fragrances and this one is dark and seductive. perfect for a very special evening. </p><p>The reviews of this perfume have been done to death, but let me just add that this one will help you slay, and in a very good way. I was pleasantly surprised when I spritzed on just a bit and it lingered till the next day. Yes, it is that rich. The Mexican chocolate, Patchouli, Vanilla, Incense, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver play nicely together as a bottom note. This is really like a dark blooming flower, that unfolds a rich beguiling scent.

This particular review and the person that I'm writing about is more than enough to take this gal out of blogging retirement and set things on fire again. </p>I first met designer and fragrance creator George Zaharoff many years ago through a very close friend in journalism, had it not been that I was in the fashion industry and that he designed a coat for her, I would have never known his name, thanks to the Twitterverse at the time, we forged a friendship and met face to face at a design launch, and years later, here we are. <div><br /></div><div>With two new fragrances that just launched, NOIR and ROYALE, George is once again blazing a trail for himself. Always the gold standard, I first wanted to introduce you to his original scent, Zaharoff Signature Pour Homme (EDP) described by Zaharoff himself, "it is sweet lavender, clean blue cypress and spicy black pepper that unfolds into an earthy, smoky woods and floral heart of Oud and Balsam, finally settling into a trilogy of warm, spiritual and sensual Myrrh, Sandalwood and Frankincense."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmlczg-dGMua-90_dEBH9s2Wm_zr9NKrn9ZMbUJB7Rosyim-EGmuBPAPwJ_UaKPgvvlJI8znEOqwdz9snes2DBQZ6yu_CrYrIVIWYbABBUrQYiHnLcs3iB5X0bUbHzvZnFPpMGhoTXJ3Q/s2048/20190809_101532-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1308" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmlczg-dGMua-90_dEBH9s2Wm_zr9NKrn9ZMbUJB7Rosyim-EGmuBPAPwJ_UaKPgvvlJI8znEOqwdz9snes2DBQZ6yu_CrYrIVIWYbABBUrQYiHnLcs3iB5X0bUbHzvZnFPpMGhoTXJ3Q/s320/20190809_101532-1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div>Oriental Wood fragrances are some of my favorites (for both men and women) When George said that his scents were the "Elixir Of The World", he wasn't kidding. From Coriander from the south of France to Mandarin and Bergamot from Italy, Ginger Roots from India, Anise from Egypt, Frankincense, and Myrrh from Ethiopia and Oud from China, Mr. Zaharoff has indeed put together the gold standard. NOIR is a pure spell of seduction. This warms on the skin like a sensual cashmere sweater. Make no mistake, this one is for when you're wanting to set the night ablaze and make someone crave more. Dare I call it "sex in a bottle" yeah, it's that good.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84hapK3xt8F_I5WM6ghlACxKXwi-MJWwSl0zxsJLKapkcuX3_oAPDthjB75M8Mpi-U8RSfXJ-GpVK2YpxJ72_vGtjXsV7MiQZp3kjAUCiM4fR-aOOZpINRIFViqOAwcx5JXNqVpc64gju/s533/imageedit_5_3800553670.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="533" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84hapK3xt8F_I5WM6ghlACxKXwi-MJWwSl0zxsJLKapkcuX3_oAPDthjB75M8Mpi-U8RSfXJ-GpVK2YpxJ72_vGtjXsV7MiQZp3kjAUCiM4fR-aOOZpINRIFViqOAwcx5JXNqVpc64gju/w343-h211/imageedit_5_3800553670.jpg" width="343" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Have you ever felt a buttery soft suede, or smelled that perfect combination of leather? There's just something about it that stirs the senses. That's what ROYALE reminds me of. This dries down to that indescribable concoction of Amber, Musk, Cedar, Patchouli that is like a comforting throw on a chilly night while sitting by a fire. Gentlemen, if you want to make a statement, this is the one to choose. A man always wants to stand out, and this one will make heads turn. While deeper than the original Zaharoff Pour Homme, (while in itself is sophisticated), this takes classy to the next level. Think well dressed, polished, and on the playing field ready to conquer. This is woodsy, rich on the sandalwood, but also fresh with crisp apple, juniper, and cardamom, and you guessed it, this one is also a passport around the world, from Guatemala, Indonesia, and Italy, all the way to my beloved Washington state. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0NdSGQjwP9W52r5n8TNXwVFRuDdyenIEX1Axr3H4iFVdTylv25nZxY7pI2CvyWkakZhoeGRqIKRWL-Yxenbl09xUaCTVIkxBgtHGXWpo5Hn9RwUMI8FJyqqVrRimiU_esXiJl1enA4zP/s554/imageedit_8_2121045375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="326" data-original-width="554" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM0NdSGQjwP9W52r5n8TNXwVFRuDdyenIEX1Axr3H4iFVdTylv25nZxY7pI2CvyWkakZhoeGRqIKRWL-Yxenbl09xUaCTVIkxBgtHGXWpo5Hn9RwUMI8FJyqqVrRimiU_esXiJl1enA4zP/w337-h212/imageedit_8_2121045375.jpg" width="337" /></a></div><br /><div><br /><div>I love how each scent differs from the other and goes a level deeper. They are not a repeat version, and they are long-lasting, a spritz goes a long way.

From a female point of view, these leave a memorable statement behind. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8Y-sNXYpy8IgwFnaQSdhmcoHE6k1fh8IsXVfDkn6TEqod6oUoXCZ_C78K0BjQOSEnifIzHzirjDpAQWQTyR9zEc1ArKrWbNOW7nAGWQqAryW0kpIl2XRTsE-8PSugUVjdGaGv2hC1aKL/s558/imageedit_8_3194873826.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="558" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8Y-sNXYpy8IgwFnaQSdhmcoHE6k1fh8IsXVfDkn6TEqod6oUoXCZ_C78K0BjQOSEnifIzHzirjDpAQWQTyR9zEc1ArKrWbNOW7nAGWQqAryW0kpIl2XRTsE-8PSugUVjdGaGv2hC1aKL/w342-h203/imageedit_8_3194873826.jpg" width="342" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div> Since these reviews have been done to death and on every channel, I wanted to do something a little different and offer up a complementary women's fragrance.

<br />
It has been a very, very long time since I've posted on here. I wanted to catch everyone up on what's been going on over the past year, and rather than make a long-winded social media post, I thought I would just make a long-winded post on my beloved blog.<br />
<br />
I have indeed been busy. I've published two books, and have been in the process of writing my third, which, I may scrap, as I don't like the voice or direction it was going in. All hell kind of broke loose in my life whilst writing it. I was hospitalized while on vacation for pneumonia, which basically put me on my rear in (almost) the ICU for about five days. When I returned to normal life I had a hard time focusing on the premise of the book and well, it's been sitting here stewing in its own broth for awhile. To quote the words of a very close friend, I was "a sick sickie"<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been busy writing elsewhere, both as a contributor for a publication on the Medium platform, and I recently threw my hat into the ring as a contributor for Thrive Global. I am having a very difficult time hitting the send button on my first post. Even as a seasoned writer, I feel somehow inadequate alongside those with "Dr" or "Ph.D." in their name. I'm just a gal eating burritos for lunch while they are eating caviar (on toast, no less) While I may be sitting on the patio with a glass of rosé and watching the sunset, they are 37,000 feet in first-class watching the clouds roll by. I'm a working girl who juggles words, photography and social media, then comes home to feed the cat and herself, then settle down to her hobby of writing on the side. Glamorous, right?<br />
<br />
Truth be told, I am intimidated about the big leagues, even though I've written here for ten years, covered front row fashion, and lived to tell about it, I find myself stumbling. I'm still figuring out a way to make words flow when it really counts.<br />
<br />
How do we get past that initial stutter, that slip of foot on what we thought would be steady ground? Do we just jump and hope we land firmly, or do we fall, and use it to teach us how to use our wings? I'm about to take that step.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned, and I'll let you know!<br />
<br />
Until next time~<br />
Hearts and Hugs<br />

<br />
I decided to bite the bullet and put together a collection of short stories that I have written over the past year.<br />
<br />
Most of these stories are about the heart, emotions, both positive and negative. There are stories of love, insight, inspiration, whimsy. They aren't meant to be taken literally, they aren't about anyone, or even for anyone. They are simply like poetry, to make one think, to appeal to the senses, perhaps to remember a moment or two of your own.<br />
<br />
There is a passage, one that I like to refer to as a parabal for the heart. I was feeling very uncertain of my path. Every now and then, we all feel a little stuck. We want to be remembered, to matter, to be heard.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The heart is like a book. It holds memories. There are chapters that we like to re-read now and then. The storm in my story is a metaphor for life. It can be gentle, or it can be fierce and make us question everything. There are dog-eared pages in my book (heart), well loved moments, people, friends.<br />
<br />
The character is feeling unsettled inside, is walking in the rain. I liken the world to a diary that was carried by someone, dropped carelessly along the way, perhaps into a puddle, the pages are drenched. Someone finds it, and tries to see if they can salvage what was written inside.<br />
<br />
As you read this story, I hope that you can relate.<br />
<br />
The following is an excerpt from "And Then God Smiled" by Elaine Hamilton<br />
<br />
<br />
The Book And The Storm<br />
<br />
Feeling stormy today. There's a quiet roll of thunder under my calm surface. Seeing with my grey eyes today, there is no sun that can warm me enough to feel anything but disdain. I almost like the feel of rain on my face, I've come to welcome it some days, because it just feels good to to become part of the wildness of nature, just let go. Walking, feeling the wind, no one can see the pain behind the sardonic grin. I hide it well.<br />
<br />
Raindrops hide tears, wrapping my heart with rubber bands again. Words, memories surface, almost like an old journal that is treasured. Scrapping everything I know once more. The pages of this book are getting old and tattered, a few are dog-eared because I tend to revisit them now and then. I carry this book with me, keep it close, but one day, I'll let go, and it will be consumed by the puddles that are left after the storm passes, pages will be drenched, and the words will be erased, and the book will lay forgotten.<br />
<br />
Maybe someday, someone will find it, and wonder about the story it might have held. Maybe they will carefully dry out the pages , and see what was written, try to decipher the story within, the things that might have been, the wistful fairytale, the long forgotten dreams, and treasure it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The book is available in the Amazon Kindle Store. Check out this link if you'd like to know more.<br />

There have been so many changes going on, and I just wanted to update everyone on that.<br />
<br />
When I first started BellevueGrl back in 2009, it was to support local business and local fashion. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful business owners, local designers, makeup artists, and entertainment personalities. I have bonded with so many people, and I am so very honored to call them my friends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've photographed hundreds of shows, attended front row fashion events, met some of our wonderful Seahawk players, and dined on some of the best fare from all over the city.<br />
<br />
BellevueGrl started branching out to go beyond just the local city and Seattle. It soon incorporated designers from Project Runway, personalities from Sally Beauty, friends from LA. I started writing for a few online publications, became a brand ambassador for AHAVA, did some visual merchandising, and immersed myself in the field of fashion completely, once again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVnUgwwmMhGPCtCGcyRytAtByj90JwbGcdY-fsww3-cacpsWyfABgI9eSUFFcUQr8e52-LrNG7gxqinhMAXmY70wfsDW2b4UKzt-MYzllo3DqOs9H2V5vLLzJLk0hCjLG3gEFQXmb8TpJ/s1600/IMG_20171005_225413_119+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVnUgwwmMhGPCtCGcyRytAtByj90JwbGcdY-fsww3-cacpsWyfABgI9eSUFFcUQr8e52-LrNG7gxqinhMAXmY70wfsDW2b4UKzt-MYzllo3DqOs9H2V5vLLzJLk0hCjLG3gEFQXmb8TpJ/s400/IMG_20171005_225413_119+%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I most recently became a fashion and lifestyle writer for a digital magazine in Beverly Hills, and attended LAFW where I was able to go backstage and capture all of the behind the scenes action, watch models rehearse for shows, be able to watch hair and makeup teams work their magic, I met with emerging designers that were of a global outreach, and so BellevueGrl evolved once again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgchJuG20WGTL6cfKgzlnZce-eFW26edDFxCSndYyJZOkS7bJdfXm5dW6qC7CDXSsrq0Dgd8KOCeCIvNHQd4kEXMcR1WAVn8vza8VgLxIuibwGQYOxy09Mx6rkUfh8Ons2nzosPx4P6ipTo/s1600/20171004_145551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgchJuG20WGTL6cfKgzlnZce-eFW26edDFxCSndYyJZOkS7bJdfXm5dW6qC7CDXSsrq0Dgd8KOCeCIvNHQd4kEXMcR1WAVn8vza8VgLxIuibwGQYOxy09Mx6rkUfh8Ons2nzosPx4P6ipTo/s640/20171004_145551.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Evolving implies change, and that's kind of the beauty of things. When something grows, rises up from the ground to become something that can make an impact outside of it's normal boundaries.<br />
<br />
BellevueGrl will soon become a new entity "Just A Girl In The City Too", a new digital fashion spot featuring emerging women designers, interviews, photos and more. I will be doing mentoring, as I believe in developing talent and inspiring others to reach their goals and giving back, and I will be embracing more of an entrepreneurial role, and hopefully, putting my book out on shelves in 2018.<br />
<br />
Writing a mission statement for a new publication was once a dream, and looking back on the past few years, I feel so very blessed.<br />
<br />
Will you come along on the journey with me?<br />

On Life...<br />
<br />
You never really know how precious and short life is until you are faced with almost losing it. People can tell you a million times,but unless you are forced to step into those shoes,we remain blind. Cherish those that you care for,tell them every day how much they mean to you. Find the words,the time,to let them know. Even if you feel silly.Don't waste a moment. Celebrate life,even if it's one small thing a day.Celebrate love,it returns what we give to it.Never take it for granted. Celebrate friends and family,because that is our greatest treasure.Take the time to "smell the roses" because you might not be here the next day to do so. Enjoy the wind in your hair,the sun on your face,the smell of the rain,the starlight after the clouds have passed. Find room in your heart to make others who are hurting smile,you never know whose life you may touch!<br />

<br />
On Love:<br />
<br />
Often,we are too afraid to accept love,as if we are afraid that the real thing would be our un-doing.We are afraid of the cost,of hurting someone,when instead we should be embracing that connection,that welcoming smile,the comfort in knowing that someone else will stand beside you through thick and thin,have your back,see you through your visions,and help you achieve your dreams. That uncanny connection is there for a reason.Trust it! If they haven't walked away through the tough times,they arent going to. They are a foundation,a sounding board,and a forever friend. When something is right,no distance,time,no amount of good times or bad will change that.<br />
<br />
<br />
On Our Heart:<br />
<br />
We are so used to rejection, so used to having people take advantage,that we almost accept that as a norm,that when we find acceptance,we are scared of it. What we dont see is that that person,or those people are brought into our lives for that very purpose of re-connecting our souls,our hearts back to the universe,bringing joy,laughter and purpose into our lives,inspiring us to think,often to think beyond ourselves,and to reach out to others in turn. At least the right person should do that,inspire us to become better versions of ourselves.<br />
<br />
Compassion is always in fashion!<br />
<br />
Until next time~<br />
Hearts and Hugs<br />

<br />
Start by Faking It! Use a self tanner for a few nights before you go to sleep to wake up with a fresh,hint of color.<br />
<br />
Apply loose powder makeup two levels darker than your usual shade to give a healthy "spent the day at the beach" look.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Try adding a peach or rosy blush to your makeup,sweep a highlighter just slightly above your cheekbones,and brush over shoulders and collar-bone.<br />
<br />
Extend the life of your natural tan by applying a tiny bit of Tantalizer by LORAC to your temple,forehead,cheekbones,and bridge of nose. Think where the sun would naturally "hit",blend well.<br />

I was asked to review this product by the folks over at <a href="http://beautystat.com/" target="_blank">Beautystat.com</a>,and couldn't have been happier with the results.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have used this for over a week now,and my hands feel soft,and comfortable. I really adore the surge of moisture that it gives my hands at the end of the day. I keep this one in my bag so that whenever I need a little lift I can reach for it!<br />
<br />

<br />
I didn't expect this to smell so wonderful! The Prickly Pear and Moringa go hand in hand so well! The price for such a large tube is so affordable, you will want to keep more than one ready for use.<br />

<br />
I was asked to review this product from Ahava,courtesy of the folks over at Beautystat.I was simply delighted with the results!<br />
<br />
I love the non-sticky formula! It left my skin feeling soft and smooth,even with just one application,after a few days of use,my skin did feel a little more "lifted".<br />
<br />
The scent was floral,not overpowering,just fresh and light,and the consistency of the cream was fluffy and generous! It felt luxurious slipping on,and I could get dressed right away,no waiting for the cream to sink in. No harsh chemical smell, great for my super sensitive skin!<br />
<br />
I would definitely purchase this product again! Oh,and the tube size is huge,this will last a long time! (Firming Body Cream $42.00)<br />

It has certainly been wet and cold here in Seattle! It is a bit unusual for March,we have even been seeing some snow from time to time,along with thunder,and even a day (yesterday) where it snowed and the sun was out!<br />
<br />
Mother nature has been up to her tricks. Either that,or someone bribed that old groundhog back in February to keep winter going on our side of the states.<br />
<br />
Lately though, I have not minded the rain,It is as if somehow it has washed away the past,and I cannot wait to step out into the sun again in more ways than one.<br />
<br />
Our lives get so cluttered,that we have very little time to stop and breathe.Often,we do not notice the things that are right there in front of us because our focus is elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Sometimes,we are faced with having to take a leap of faith,to go for it! Our hearts say yes,but our brains stop us. Our brains try to protect us from perceived harm and that is where the negativity comes from. The "I can'ts ,the but what if's ,the need to dis-engage and distance ourselves. Fear is a killer of dreams. It keeps us from reaching our true potential,what we can have in our lives,vs what we are willing to just simply live with because that is what we are used to.<br />

I wanted to feature these pearls today on the blog, because they were given to me by my Grandmother (They are from Saks Fifth Avenue,NY) where I grew up as a child. They have survived the years,a bit shop worn,but like us, they have endured.<br />
<br />
Do you have some well loved pieces?<br />

I am just catching up after all of the holiday season,and this was originally intended to be a Valentine's Day post,but I never made the deadline.<br />
<br />
Some of my favorite little accessories are the ones that go with just about everything from casual to career wear.<br />
<br />
These Honora Pearl earrings are just the thing for a casual brunch out on a Sunday,perfect for the nine to fiver,or for a night out on the town with your sweetie.<br />

<br />
It is hard to walk in and not walk out with a bagful or two of handbags,scarves,watches and you name it!<br />
<br />
Their prices cant be beat,and often they have bogo sales that will allow us budget conscious gals to "splurge" a little.<br />

<br />
I was recently asked to review a product from Ahava for Beautystat,and was very happy to receive this hand cream.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqouB8GdOKk3qNIqQ8V202TVY18aYvFl7SYCXewbPfQf6hJtd536GrGXtSjzbbc3ciFpM7ZwEHJ6KYc0D31wb69yVi0gq-jWXYqeiZrPouawEUfIwIjoBwnfT3AzknO3osxxs0WhVIw2KC/s1600/20161117_213753.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqouB8GdOKk3qNIqQ8V202TVY18aYvFl7SYCXewbPfQf6hJtd536GrGXtSjzbbc3ciFpM7ZwEHJ6KYc0D31wb69yVi0gq-jWXYqeiZrPouawEUfIwIjoBwnfT3AzknO3osxxs0WhVIw2KC/s400/20161117_213753.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
Ahava Time To Smooth is a must for anyone wanting to improve the look of their hands,as well as protect from sun damage.<br />
<br />
I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked.<br />
<br />
I applied right before bed each night for a week,and while a little goes a long way,it really did improve the way my hands looked in the morning.<br />
<br />
The moisture stays with you,my hands felt a little less tight,and I find myself reaching for it,rather than my usual lotion instead.<br />

There really isn't too much of a fragrance,but that works for me. </div>

Overall, I was satisfied and would purchase this on my own again. ($32)</div>

Last night at the Bellevue Square Microsoft store,there was an event to remember.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Luke Willson (#82) and Jermaine Kearse (#15) of the Seattle Seahawks came out to play Madden 17 for charity and to introduce the new Surface Pro 4 NFL Special Edition Type Cover. Of course, that cover was a Seahawks edition for our neck of the woods.<br />

The competition got fierce,but Luke was the winner in the end,with $5,000 going towards the 12 North Sports. Afterwards,there was a special meet and greet for those lucky enough to be among the first 100 fans in line,and everyone received autographed photos of both players courtesy of Microsoft.!</div>

<br />
I have tried most of the styling aids from the famous lines, but have found that most dry out my hair or really do not perform well at all.<br />

I have had alot of success with the Ion line from Sally Beauty,and am happy to say that these two products have kept my hair soft,shiny,and styled all day,without making it feel like straw or an oil slick the next day.</div>

What's even better is the price is about half the cost of what you would pay at a salon or beauty store. </div>

<br />
I wanted to wait until I actually saw the movie,so that I could get a better perspective of the elements included in the set and I am really glad that I did.<br />
<br />
For those of you that dont know, all of the familiar characters are there,and Alice meets up with her dear friend "Hatter" for another courageous adventure.This time though, the sequel was actually better than the first,and had more heart. It was more about love,family and best friends forever. Oh, and forgiveness.. It was a feel good movie and I walked out of the theater with a smile on my face.<br />

The shades in the Urban Decay palette arent pieces of a mirror at all, they are from Alice's tunic that she wore in the film. The lipstick shades are named after the "stars" and of course the beautiful butterfly that appears when you open the box is reminiscent of Absolem,who was a caterpillar in the first film..(get the "time" theme?)and yes, time changes us all.<br />

The lipstick shades are also creative and whimsical. My favorite being Alice,a soft sheer apricot shade. There's Mad Hatter,Time,Mirana,and Iracebeth.</div>
<div>
Urban Decay does a wonderful job on creating shades for fair skinned people. I was not able to purchase all of the shades as they were sold out pretty quickly, but I did get to swatch both Alice and Time. ($18.00 at ULTA)</div>
