FOR THE BODY & SOUL

I am a huge fan of Niven Morgan Products. This line of products, available in Gold, Blue, and Silver, are very luxurious. The corporate website says it best, describing the GOLD as being distinct from any other fragrance.

GOLD:
An elegant blend of floral and herbal notes, polished with hints of aromatic oil. The result is a complex, sophisticated bouquet that lingers luxuriously. Rich with fragrant topnotes of Amber, Egyptian Neroli and Italian Bergamot.

SILVER:
Young, yet timeless...Hip, yet classy. Silver is sexy...an intriguing whisper of romance. The vibrant style of Silver hints of spice and smoke. Topnotes are an essence of Calabrian Bergamot, Eureka Lemon, Ginger Lily and Garden Lavender.

and my personal favorite:

BLUE:
A rich, versatile aroma infused with exotic woods and oriental balsam. Spirited Blue appeals to both men and women. Aromatic topnotes of Vetiver, Italian Lemon, Mandarin and Bergamot.

HAWT off THE PRESS!

The series premiere of KENDRA was E!'s highest-rated reality show since 2002...A-Mazing!

I'm sure they'll have beautiful children! SUMMER WEDDING W/ A BUMP ON BOARD should get those ratings up. Everyone should watch- I know I will be!

Where The ______ Have You Been?

So I've been digging, loves, and look what I dragged in...That's Right! You see her. Irene Cara!! Irene Cara was born March 18, 1959 (WOW! She is currently 54 years old.) Irene is an American singer and actress. She is best known for her recordings of the songs "Fame" and "Flashdance... What a Feeling," for which she won an Academy Award in 1984 in the category of Best Original Song. She also starred in the 1976 film Sparkle and the 1980 film version of Fame. Sometime after that, she continued to perform minor work before just completely falling off the map. Her last public comeback was seen in Debbie Allen re-digging up FAME in 2008, allowing Cara another rise for FAME! Miss Cara was one of my old school favorites! If your curious to know what nationality this striking beauty is, Irene's father, Gaspar Cara (died in 1994), was an Afro-Caribbean Puerto Rican. Her mother, Louise, is an American of French and Cuban descent.
She has an official web page: http://www.irenecara.com

Here is the video for "What a feeling" for the movie "Flashdance" starring Jennifer Beal.

Funky Fashion...

Kate Spade's Owl Bag, scheduled to be released in August, is a must see! It is quite interesting looking, yet cute. It seems perfect for summer into fall! I would pair it with a yellow sundress and wedges! Throw on some seventies style sunglasses and sashay-chantay, ladies!

Quote of the Month

There's nothing wrong with wearing something more than once if it's fabulous and you love it.
