Posted: 19 Jun 2010 12:03 PM PDT  1. "To See Every Bird on Earth" by Dan KoeppelPrice: $11.90 at amazon.com I just read this book, and expected it to be a dry, scientific tale about bird-watching. I was so wrong! It's a touching, interesting story about a father's lifelong fascination with birds, and his son's coming to terms with that. It has just the right amount of science and technology, but I loved it! 2. "The Lady and the Panda" by Vicki Constantine CrokePrice: $11.21 at amazon.com Looking for an old-fashioned adventure story where the main character is a spunky woman? Then read this! It's about an American woman, widowed young, who spent her fortune in pursuit of the Great Panda… and it's all true! 3. "Into Thin Air" by Jon KrakauerPrice: $7.99 at amazon.com If you've ever wondered why anyone would want to subject themselves to the danger and pain of mountain climbing, give this a read. It tells the story of the disaster on Mount Everest in May of 1997, from the unique perspective of someone who was there. This is one of my all-time favorites! |

Owl Cake Anyone… Photo: swsmag.net Julie and Todd, who are in the top photo, love the outdoors so it only seemed natural to include owls, birds, wood, and birch into their wedding details. They wanted to have a groom’s cake that would make their guests smile and with this adorable chubby owl they really hit their mark! The feathers were made from rice paper that was dipped in white chocolate, how sweet! Could you eat a cake this cute? 7. Owl Invite You… Photo: LittleSparkCreations.etsy.com Show off your theme with these fun invitations as you give your guests a little hint of the whimsical wedding they are about to attend.

I gave my girls a matching silver clutch with a pearl necklace hidden inside for them, they all loved it! What will you be giving your bridesmaids? 5.

Buy something they can appreciate like this delightful owl soap and you’ll know that you won’t be wasting your money. If you are opting for a favor that gives back to nature you can donate to the World Wildlife Fund and adopt a snowy owl. What will you be doing for your wedding favors? 2. Fly Away in Cuteness… Photo: Owlsay.etsy.com Luggage tags are a very popular bridal shower gift because the bride and groom are likely to go on a honeymoon after their big day is all said and done.

Posted: 19 Jun 2010 10:07 AM PDT  1. The Alamo Photo Credit: mlhradio I've been to the Alamo, and although I am a history buff and love all places like this, you don't want to miss this one. It really doesn't take that long to go through and there is a great little audio recording you listen to about the attack of the Mexican Army and the Texan Defenders who were defeated in 1836. Stroll the plaza and buy souvenirs. It's fun, educational, and informative. 2. The Mcnay Art Museum Photo Credit: stevesheriw The landscaped grounds alone are worth the trip. There are absolutely beautiful shrubs and flowers at every turn. But the museum is also nice! Modern art was first introduced to Texas here. 3. Brackenridge Park Photo Credit: annjaber74 There is a zoo, a golf course, a train ride, and a beautiful river to stroll beside. There are 443- magical acres to explore and enjoy. A definite must see. |
Posted: 19 Jun 2010 06:36 AM PDT  #1Keeping numbers down! I love all cats, but they deserve a good home, and if too many are allowed to breed, there will be far too many kittens (and soon adults) to home. We are inundated with kittens much of the time. Remember, a female can become fertile as early as 6 months, so needs to be sterilised as early as possible. I once adopted a cat who had had kittens very young, when she was still really only a baby herself.#2An outdoor male absolutely needs to be neutered. Not only will it stop him fathering hundreds of kittens (even if he won't have to pay child support), but an uncastrated male will be more likely to fight. This means the risk of injury and transmission of diseases.#3If you haven't heard a female call out when she's in heat, then I promise you that it will drive you nuts. I lasted 2 days when my kitten first went in heat – she was off to the vet at the first opportunity. Peace has been resumed, and kitty is no longer trying to get too friendly with anyone and anything. |
Posted: 19 Jun 2010 03:38 AM PDT  1. Total Bag by Roxy Price: $36.00 at roxy.com I find that having a basic black handbag that goes with anything is a necessity. This bag is simple, yet it has character. Even though it has buckles and metal rings attached to it, I didn't feel it came off as being too retro or flashy. It looks just like leather, but the high price that comes with a leather bag isn't attached to this one. The vinyl used to create this little accessory doesn't have that cheap look to it that so many other faux leather handbags have. 2. MARC by Marc Jacobs Natasha Shoulder Bag at Neiman Marcus Price: $328.00 at neimanmarcus.com Every girl needs at least one shoulder bag that serves its purpose without making her shoulder ache. The tan leather is so soft and supple. That is one of the best things about leather. I also enjoy the smell of leather as well. The gold accents on this purse go great with the tan coloring. I like the way the flap covers the zippered portion inside and is closed with a simple turnlock. The magnetic-action on this flap makes it easier to quickly close and have it stay in place while turning the lock. There are even two open pockets on the inside, making it easier to quickly slip a coin purse or sunglasses right into them and avoid fighting with too many zippers. |
Posted: 19 Jun 2010 02:14 AM PDT  1. Find the right hairdresserThe Pob can be worked in many different ways, and it's important that your hair is cut to suit your face rather then in a textbook way. Talk to your stylist about what you want from the cut, what you like, and lengths. Make sure they are happy to cut straight, but also textured, and if you have any doubts, go elsewhere.2. ShampooHowever you are wearing your hair, it's sure to need a little volume to give this look the chic edge! Try using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner set, which will add some natural looking height to your hair and keep it looking great too. I love Bed Head shampoos!3. Anti Frizz Photo Credit: yoshiko314 Towel dry your hair, and massage in a small blob of anti frizz balm. This will help to keep your hair in good condition, and prevent the frizz which so often ruins the sleek look! Your hair might look a bit flat after you've applied the balm, though, so I like to keep volumizing mousse nearby and apply a blob to give it some extra (frizz free) life. |
Posted: 19 Jun 2010 01:33 AM PDT  1. Candlemaking The possibilities are endless! Colors, patterns, decoration … and we all love scented candles, don't we, girls? They are must have home accessories and would make great gifts as well. Photo Credit: cathepsut 2. Knitting No longer something that our grannies did, knitting is making a comeback. Younger women are meeting for “stitch and bitch” sessions, and having FUN! There are some fabulous yarns available now, and even the most incompetent knitter can manage a scarf.

Posted: 19 Jun 2010 12:46 AM PDT  1. Reebok Fitness Masters Drinking Set Price: $27 at amazon.co.uk It's really important to stay hydrated when you are exercising, so taking a drinking bottle is a must. This Reebok design isn't as ugly and masculine as most of the others and it comes with some great extras, too! It has a matching towel, headphones, grip masters, a speed rope and a cute bag to put them all in, which is great if you are an expert at forgetting things like me! 2. Luminox Watches Price: $217 from amazon.co.uk These are the watches worn by the Special Forces, so you know they are going to be good! They use special technology to 'glow' all the time, without needing to be activated by a button or charged up which means you'll always know what time it is, without any fuss! They are also made of super strong material, and despite being designed for men, it looks quite good on women too. 3. Riiflex Weights Price: $30 at riiflex.com Love your Nintendo Wii? These 2 and 4 pound weights are great for intensifying that workout! They attach to your nuncheck or wiimote, and you can use them as normal weights, or as part of your Wii-fit training programme. The bright green colour makes me feel surprisingly fond of them… Give them a try, they are addictive and great for your arms! |
Posted: 18 Jun 2010 11:44 PM PDT  1. The story is engaging. It is mature — as in you see lots of naked people. But this is the type of vampire stories I like. Sweet and cute are okay but I like a vampire story with just the right amount of suspense and horror. 2. It has interesting characters. |
