They are the difference between a room that makes you want to use it, and a room that says, “Yeah, I just don’t know what’s going on in here.” Combine two awesome loves to make an accessory that is unique, personalized, and way cool.

Cozy Oateal Slippers by FiveSisterz on Etsy

It seems that for women, the act of wearing our slippers out and about is as acceptable as it is for teens to wear their cozy pajama bottoms in public. Haven’t seen that? Really? I have, and it no longer fazes me. Besides which, I’d much rather see someone’s pajama bottoms than their underwear, which I still have the misfortune of witnessing every now and again. Find out why you’d want to wear your slippers everywhere, and where to shop for that perfect pair.

Extending your Growing SeasonTo be a good gardener, you have to have patience. Growing from seeds to plants is a process that takes a lot of commitment, most of it slow. The growing and tending process of a garden can be a difficult time for those of us who like to see results right away. Being in a rush will only result in over watering, over aggravating, and planting too close together, none of which will culminate into positive results.

You can recreate yourself and become a version of any character you like. A successful costume comes from just that, a deliberate “version of”. One that brings your personality or your desires to fruition. It will utilize that certain something that attracts you to the base character of your choice in the first place.

They are brilliant, comforting, humorous, demanding, subtle, in your face… words to describe them are endless. They do deserve our everlasting love and affection.

Solar Powered Outdoor String Lights for the Christmas Holidays

Eye On Life Team — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 23:21:59 +0000

As a child, one of my favorite things to do was to take a ride with my family around various neighborhoods, to see the outdoor Christmas decorations. The more lights the better. Colorfull, white, fun, traditional, it didn’t matter. As I grew older, my tastes formed, and so did my favorite decorations.

There is now a wonderful and especially gorgeous way to make outdoor Christmas decorating cost no more than the cost of

Jeffrey Biegel at a Steinway & SonsJohann Sebastian Bach’s keyboard masterpieces, music meant to be played on a Harpsichord, not a Piano Forte; yet when done well, the sound of this exquisite Baroque composer’s musical enigma can truly say that it has found its way home.

This is especially true when one takes a listen to Jeffery Biegel’s interpretation. Bach on a Steinway is 1 Hours 6 Mins. of pure unadulterated bliss (if I may say so). Biegel demonstrates his knowledge of both Johann Sebastian Bach and Steinway & Sons, producing a quality that I have, until now, not

See links below.The Silver Standard Poodle, sweet, gentle, loyal, funny, simply beautiful. I was a bit shocked, I must say, at the breathtaking beauty of Alexander, the Silver Standard Poodle in this photo. He and his brothers and sisters are truly a remarkable litter for color, size, personality, and overall breeding. There is a special bonus in the fact that the mother and father have champion blood lines. They were carefully bred. The puppies are stunning.

I have to sheepishly admit that when I first saw the litter, I

Vintage style French Wire Hamper found at Pottery Barn

There comes a point in everyone’s life when one must do their own laundry. Simple as that. You may go to a laundry mat, you may take your clothing to the dry cleaners, you may have a laundry room of your very own. Any way you look at it, it’s not necessarily something you look forward to, unless of course you’ve just baught your very own beautiful, shiny, new washing machine and dryer set.

Laundry is a process that starts well before the actual washing. It all begins with
