JuJubes...yum!


"Jujube (pronounced /ˈdʒuːdʒuːb/ or /ˈdʒuːdʒuːbiː/), or jube, is the name of several types of candy, varying in description on a regional basis. The candies can vary in texture form being hard and resinous to something similar to firm loukoum or gummy candies.

In the United States, Jujubes is the brand name of a particular type of candy, whereas in Canada the word is generic, and describes any of many similar confections." - Wikipedia

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder...


It's funny. I was thinking of what makes me happy today. And having just scanned through so many people's faces and pictures on FACEBOOK, I realized how much pleasure I get from seeing people...seeing old photos....looking at faces. People watching! And it made me think about just how many different kinds of beauty there are in the world...and that made me HAPPY!

Dorrrrrritos!


Nothing says artificial flavour and colour like Doritos. And now Doritos Bold BBQ takes it all to new heights.

OK...I am on a diet...but if you are going to cheat, it had better be worth it...and THIS is worthy!

FASHION-ISTA


Fashion...is it art or commerce or both?

Fashion is more than just fabric on a body. It is design + function + beauty + feel/fabric. It's about "the look" and how it makes you feel inside and out. It's about a personal statement of your identity...whether for that day or a life-time.

Fashion is the one art that is both HIGH and LOW. Within reach of all...and rare and rarefied.

We watch images bombarding us daily in magazines, billboards, tv, online...everywhere an image can be displayed.

YET...fashion has the means to transport or transform both the wearer and the viewer. It has a potentcy that no other art form shares. It's immediacy is part of it's compelling nature. Trends come and go and the remnants are those items adorning our closet. Yet there is even within this fast moving world, classics that last a lifetime or can be handed down like heirlooms.

Fashion is art is life is beauty is fun is silly is wonderful...is you...is me!
