Michelle @ Grown Up Girlie had the perfect post yesterday, one I felt perfect to go into the weekend with.
As she says; "I was tagged by Thushara. This meme is about life's simple pleasures. But what is a "simple pleasure"? Is it indeed "simple"? Does it imply that you derive pleasure, though little was spent emotionally or monetarily? I think that is probably the case. But life is full of simple pleasures...one has to be aware of them, ...
Bad boys ruled as designers in Paris kicked off the menswear season on Friday with a nod to rebellious icons. Superbrand Louis Vuitton referenced 1960s screen idols like Alain Delon and Terence Stamp with a sophisticated spring-summer 2007 collection that ran the gamut from velvet jackets to slim trench coats.
When somebody says it has been "one of those days", no details are necessary. Those days are never good and during them, I miss the compassionate environment of mid and post disaster situations.
No, I don't wish woe on my fellow man just so people will grow charitable and selfless, but in crisis mode, people who usually aren't, become magnanimous. When a crisis subsides, so does the purity of many people's motives and I feel a tragic sense of loss as ...
Sorry I have been absent for a bit. I had a job change and a new semester started at school. I know, excuses, excuses. I will post something new by this upcoming Tuesday.
The object of my affection? What is made from sugar, water, pistachio, hazelnut, almonds, coconut, carrot, and citric acid?
Answer: Cezerye also spelled cezeriya
Cezerye is a type of lokum or Turkish delight. It is rumored to have aphrodisiac properties but if so, it's only managed to make me fall in love with eating it!
Two Turkish bloggers have written about it, check out their posts at Yogurtland and Rustic.
Congratulations to the winner, Raedia!

The looooong weekend has arrived! For those of you in the US, have a great 4th of July weekend! Before you head out, please take a minute to check out some of Beauty Addict's sponsors:
Dear Red Beard,
Won't it be nice once I'm under your watchful eye and I won't get rip-roaring drunk and call you at midnight on a school night? I'm looking forward to that myself.
Last night I had plans to have "a" drink with a couple of people from work. We left here about 5, drove up the road to the bar, and I figured I'd be heading back into the city by 6 or 7. Rrrriiiiiiight.
I had a few appetizers ...
Psst...we've got a super steal secret for ya. The hottest spot on the web for all things fashionable, Net-A-Porter, is having a huge sale begining this Sunday July 2nd. They have discounted a fantastic selection of must-have items for their end of season stock, with up to 70% off the most wanted designer labels. When I claim "most wanted" I mean Chloe, McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Jimmy Choo. Need I say more? For the few that have not already, join the savvy shoppers and scope ...
Happy Friday, Folks! Enjoy the long holiday weekend...summer's officially here... Here's a lovely tea tin centerpiece from the new Summer 06 Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings....
In Portland I found a very special delicacy that I had never before found in the US. I haven't even been able to find a a reliable recipe for it. At least two bloggers have written about their attempts to make it. Needless to say, I bought myself a box of it.
The ingredients are:
sugar
water
pistachio
hazelnut
almonds
coconut
carrot
citric acid
So what the heck is it? Be the first to correctly guess, you must be very specific, ...
End of the Month means Eggs on Toast with a Twist of Lemon
Last week, when the Bay Area was basking in a glorious heatwave that now seems like it was just a dream, Fred and I were invited to a "Summer in Rabbit Land" dinner up in Marin. Our gracious hosts, Donna and Juan had prepared a wonderful Spanish spread for fifteen people. Arbequina olives and embutidos ...

For Annie and Patti: Michelle Rodriguez in Australian OK. If you zoom in on the pic, you'll see that she is holding the much sought-after discontinued Stephane Marais compact.
I love this picture of Michelle...it's so elegant and retro. And a far cry from her character on Lost!
Now, about the compacts. Annieytown and Cavewoman have been chronicling Cavewoman's impressive compact collection over at Blogdorf Goodman. It's a must-see for anyone who loves vintage compacts, or any beautiful little ...
It seems that ever since that little shoplifting incident, its subsequent trial, and the ensuing media scandal, Winona Ryder has been keeping a low profile.
Thankfully, Winona Ryder is back, and she's brought her breasts with her. Sure, it's hard for her to go anywhere without them, but she doesn't usually put them out on display so much.
And speaking of Winona's breasts being on display, don't forget that you'll be able to see them, or at least ...
