Who knew you could grow a plant in your home without a pot? Well I guess it makes sense because that’s how they grow in the rainforest. I’m talking about Tillandsias. “Airplants” are the common name for Tillandsias , a type of Bromeliad that grows on rocks, trees, [...]

I can’t tell you her real name, but she’s fabulous and super resourceful. She’s worked for some of the biggest names in Hollywood from investment moguls to stars of Charlie’s Angels and other leading actors. She’s truly “Housekeeper to the Stars,” so we’ll call her Joan. LOL!
Although money [...]

A client asked me to recreate a gift she had seen at a baby shower. It was a basket full of baby clothes strung together that could be passed around the entire party. It was a true showstopper. Ingenious. It’s so creative and easy to make I just have to [...]

Get this. The City of Santa Monica, CA is doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint. Although it sounds crazy and a lil’ repulsive (to me anyways) the City is allowing residents to salvage the metal doorknobs for the soon to be remodeled jail. Jail doorknobs? WTF? I actually [...]

I’ll always admit I’m not a great baker although I can throw down on a stovetop. On that note, below is a quick (and when I say quick I mean quick) lil’ recipe for a show stopper, almost gourmet-like baked desert. I give you Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Cups. [...]

A candle is more than something to decorate and aromatize your home. A candle can be a lifestyle. They evoke feelings, stimulate the senses. This is why I have a new obsession

Listen to this album once and you will like it. Listen to it twice and you will LOVE it, or wanna make love to it. Great music for doing absolutely nothing or everything around the house. Maxwell is Back!
I just saw the movie (I know late) and can't stop singing "Jai Ho." This album is great while taking on any home project that allows you to sing and dance at the same time. I'm talking window washing to vacuuming. Trust me, you will have a ball! My favorite tracks are "Jai Ho," "O... Saya," and the "Paper Planes Remix." See the movie and buy this soundtrack!
I know I'm a little late featuring Adele, but she is the real deal. Her tone, the lyrics, and the music together make for a top notch album. Pick up a feather duster and dust your heart away. Enjoy!
I didn't think their last album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, could get any better until I heard the remix album. I'm sure one of my resolutions this year will be to get back in the gym, and I can guarantee this album will be the reason I actually follow through. Give it a try!
Kanye does it again! Even if you are not a Hip Hop fan you will be pleasantly surprised by the sound of his latest release 808s & Heartbreak. It's best described as an 80's flashback with a splash of Everything But the Girl. I can't get enough of the live strings and masterful productions on every track. This CD makes the perfect backdrop for any home project. Great album art too!
Tap into your Neat Freak Zone with Lady Ga Ga. Her sound is old school Madonna (which we all love), meets Blondie and little sprinkle of Gwen Stefani. Gotta love it!
I don't know why they call the album "Little Voice" because Sarah has a lot to say and says it loud. This CD is great to play while taking on a good craft project. I would not steer you wrong. Also, check out her new live version on iTunes.
This album is in tribute to my cross-country trip. You can't have more fun than with songs like: "I Like To Move It" - Reel 2 Real and "C'mon N' Ride It" - Quad City D.J.'s. All totally one hit wonders, but that's how it should be. Take a road trip! LOL.
The first single "Magic" is my jam. LOL! The album is full of go get 'em tunes and bedroom eyes love songs. I've been a fan since his first album, loved the second and can't get enough of this new third release. It's the kind of album that makes you wanna clean out a closet! And that's a big compliment.
A piano has never sounded so calming! Alon Yavai makes magic with this album. Every song is a jewel and the world needs to know. I'm new to his work and found myself looking for him more and more. Enjoy this music over a candlelight dinner or in a warm bath. Don't worry about cleaning a thing.
