Swallowing pride never choked anyone....

Is there really such a thing as too much jewelry? I mean that can not be true right. A beautifull piece of jewelry like beautfull earrings or an astonishing necklace is like a walking around in a piece of art. And you never hear anybody complaining about art...

The thing about jewelry is that it is important not to let it get overshadowed by your outfit. Like Coco Chanel said; "before you go out the door, take one thing off"

I am totally feeling these new, almost "chocker-like" necklaces. This is an upcoming trend I think. Wear a bold necklace with a simple sheer nude tanktop to complete the look and leave anough space let your personality shine through. Because in the end of the day, the best accesoire is a confident and happy face.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time....

While browsing the internet I found this AMAZING blogspot. The artist called Danny Roberts makes these gorgeous artworks and I found myself clicking "older posts" the whole time while scrolling through his blog.

I love how a beautifull picture or painting can make you feel feelings you didnt know you had. Art takes you places in your mind. Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known...

So if you ever feel the need to buy some art, or if you just want to feast your eyes on some beautifull art make sure you check out www.dannyrobertsartstore.blogspot.com

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray. It is the mind that makes the body....

I was going to post some pictures of Gemma Ward an Lilly Cole, two of my favorite models when I stumbled upon this dark website by accident. It was a pro-ana website. I had never heard of such a thing, or saw something like it, and I was shocked.

Being raised in a mostly black and latin community I grew up believing womanly curves are sexy. Skinny girls were never populair or considered desirable in my neighborhood so this is, although I know of its existence, totally new to me, and it made quite an impression. It felt like I was entering some dark, secret world as I was reading forum posts from anorexic girls on how to suppress hunger and tips on how to loose weight.

I do think terrible disease is fueled by using super skinny girls in all fashionmagazines and commercials. Girls like Gemma Ward and Lilly cole. There are so many young, and insecure girls in the world who feel unpretty because of having to stand at the busstop next to a lifesize pictures of Victoria Beckhams and Nicole Richies. I would like to use this blog as a channel to your livingroom and maybe make you stop for a second and raise awareness for this cause, just as that website made me aware. If you suspect someone you know to have any form of an eating disorder please check out this website. It informs you on how to identify  eating disorders and gives tips on how to help approach someone who you feel is suffering from this disease. "Thinspiration" is not a fase!

Music is what feelings sound like. Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul...

I usually do not post a lot of musicvideos, I mostly stick to the whole fashion and shopping theme, but this is an exception...
This is for the women, the single women, the strong women, the hurt women, the working mama's, the weary women, as a matter of fact I think all women can relate to these lyrics...
Amel Larrieux, I can honestly say she is my favorite artist. I use the word artist because the way she uses poetry as lyrics, does unusual things with her voice and her sound, she always seem to amaze me. For the record, no, this song isn't about how I feel now lol.
If you like it, listen to my favorite Amel Larrieux songs "Sweet Misery" and especcially "We can be new"  because of the beautifull songtekst..

What is your favorite song??? Let me know!!

Lyrics to Weary :

This woman is growing weary

Of having to be so strong

Of having to pretend I’m made of stone

So I won’t end up with no broken bones

I can’t fight every battle alone

I want someone to lift me

Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head

Say words that should be said

Fear is not the matter

I would so much rather open up my heart

And lay down my guard

Chorus:

If I could trust someone

To have my back and never do me wrong

Then I would give my love up

Just like that stop singing this soldier song

whomever said love was overrated

must not be getting’ none

my independent days have had their fun

but when the parties over

and the workin’ day is done

I just want to come home to someone

I want a love to take me

As I am not make me compromise myself

Or be like no one else

Fear is not the matter

I would so much rather open up my heart

And just lay down my guard

The ring so worn, as you behold, so thin, so pale, is yet of gold....

Phoebe Philo for the Celine 2010 spring collection.  I love this outfit, it is sexy a, futuristic, rock and of course totally unaffordable but what the heck.. I would totally wear this with some biker boots and this ring. To bad I forgot the designer name of the ring, because it is so fierce!

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours....

Today, while driving home, I saw this bag laying on the streets. So I stopped the car, looked around if I saw anyone whom it could belong to, but I saw nobody and decided to take it home with me. When I got home I checked it out en found a wallet with some cards in it and a mobile phone. While snooping around in the phone trying to find out who it belonged to, I found a contact called mom in the adressebook. So I sent a sms to "mom" where I tell her I found the bag and it could be collected. She immediately called me back to let me know how happy she was I found the bag and that she felt blessed that I was honest enough to contact the owner because there were some very important papers in that purse. Altough it was just the right thing to do, I felt like I had done a good deed and I loved the feeling it gave me!

I try to do good deeds regularly because I do believe al it takes is one good deed to change a life and change the world. You may never know when you touch peoples hearts, but you allways do... You never know how badly that compliment was needed or how much your criticism affected somebody.

A couple of years ago I found this website which gives me lots of inspiration to help people. Have a look at it! http://www.helpother.org/ There are some beautiful stories on there and though I havent posted a lot of stories I did do a few, and THIS is one of them.

What is your lastest "good deed", or how did you touch a heart?

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday...

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't

own it, but you can use it. You can't keep

it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it

you can never get it back.”
