Who you gonna call?

Waking up to a child screeching at the top of its lungs is the worst feeling first thing in the morning. Following the ear piercing tones was "SHUT THE F... UP!!!" This came from the mother who clearly ran short on patience at that point. Oh but it gets better. The father replied to the mother with, "Shut that kid up before I toss it outside!" At this point I was sure I was not dreaming since I could feel the breeze coming from the window brush against the standing hairs on my arms. This constant screaming continued (in unison at times) for the next 20 mins. My roommate was equally irritated by this time. We talked about calling the "services" on them but we didn't for some odd reason.

Later on, while on the porch, my roommates heard the mother say to the father, "I bet the neighbours can hear what you say." Uh...YEAH YOU THINK!!! I mean geez, publicly announcing that you are considering harming your child is not kosher. Surprisingly today the tempted toddler tossing dad seems very well mannered and considerate to his kids. A sudden change in tone....wow. Maybe they realize that their voices carry well passed the walls of their home. We'll test this theory for the next few days.

Heaven help the kids!

Keeping Hope Alive

Etsy Buy Handmade Royale As many of you may know, I have been trying to sell my jeweled creations for the past few months. So far, I have not been having much luck although I have been doing almost everything I read in the Etsy articles on success. There have been endless compliments on my work but no buyers. I can't seem to figure out why that is. Marketing to friends, family and social sites is ok but I need something that will draw in a crowd. Craft fairs perhaps? So far, the Brooklyn Indie Market is looking more appealing everyday. My mom and I stopped by there last Saturday to check out the "goings-ons". Of course I ended up going home with a few handmade items like a great pair of blue earrings made by Flare, white amber oil that I adore by Off The Mat , and a necklace for my mom by the very talented KnitKnit . Shopping in the small flea market made me think it's time to get out there and hustle. I'm going to ask a few crafty friends if they will be interes...

Braided out and loving it!

(Click on Heenara image for prices and info). Product Description Heenara Hair Wash is a natural shampoo for hair wash and hair care. Being free from synthetic chemicals, this shampoo powder is a perfect hair conditioner and tonic. Highly recommended for silky smooth hair. Heenara Hair Herbal Hair Wash advantages: - Natural shampoo and conditioner for hair - Effective hair conditioner and tonic - Removes minor eruptions over scalp - Keeps hair clean and smooth A month after purchasing Heenara, I decided to give it a try. I followed the directions (mix desired amount with water to make a thick paste) and applied it from roots to tips. I wrapped my ends into 2 buns and let it sit for 10 mins (instructions state 5 minutes but I was a little side tracked). After rinsing thoroughly and I mean THOROUGHLY (there are little grits of herbs in the powder wash), I saturated my hair with my concoction of a conditioner (alma, Nyle and olive oils, Pantene Restoration deep conditioner and raw honey)...

In the midst of a failing economy, I have somehow managed to get enough courage to internet shop again. For the past 4 months, I have been avoiding sites like Ebay, ASOS, Target (especially since the designer series is the greatest thing since sliced bread), and so on and so forth. Obviously from my previous post, I have failed at doing that. By the way, the dress I wanted is sold out. I'm sure I'll find another one. *Sigh* Anywho.... Today I stopped by The beading Gem's Journal to see what new jewelry making tips they had to offer. I came across one of the most brilliant jewelry designers I've ever seen. Philippe Tournaire gives his audience the chance to wear their dream house so they can envision their goal every day. I absolutely LOVE the cathedral ring....being royale and all ;) Here are a few of my other favourites. I find most of his work to be genius and stunning with excellent craftsmanship, but the Architecture collection by far takes the cake. These are tru...
