Black and White

I have to admit, I have become a little obsessed with redecorating using only black and white.  

I was first inspired by this color scheme when I was window shopping in Paris.  (Of course who wouldn't be inspired window-shopping in Paris)

And then I saw the same black and white color scheme used in Los Angeles. 

Since then, I have been window-shopping on the internet for inspiration on how to put together the perfect black and white room.

I want a mix of "Old Hollywood" with Victorian touches.

Like this chandelier...

...paired with this sofa, 

and maybe a nice chair

and footstool to complete the room.

Decisions, decisions.  I think it is may be time to redecorate.

Is it safe to tan?

Being a Florida girl and a sun lover, I love to soak up as much sun as I can whenever I can.  But if you have been following my posts lately you will also notice that I have been very interested in keeping my skin young and healthy.  For any of you who is concerned about not only the youthful appearance, but the health of your skin, please read my article:

I sincerely hope you will find this information helpful, and it helps you to make the right decision about preserving the health and beauty of your skin.  

J'aime Lancome

On March 8, I posted about a must-try product - Genifique.  After 2 months of using this product, I am in love with it.  In fact not only me, but my friends who I recommended the product to, are also in love with it.  


Last week I was visiting the Dillards during my lunch break and stumbled upon a sign that read "Gift of Paris".  How could I resist!  




I purchased lip stick and eye shadow and received good-sized samples of Visionnaire (advanced skin corrector), Bright Expert (dark spot corrector and radiance activator), Renergie (eye lift creme), lipstick, blush, and eyeliner.  


So far I love all of these products.  The eyeshadow is glittery, not frosty.  I chose a coral lip shade which is bright, but not sticky.  After only a few day, my skin looks wonderful.


I love these products, and want to pass along to my friends.  I am not getting paid for this endorsement, but if you are listening Lacome - I will be happy to accept payment!
