Don’t Be Afraid! | October 21, 2010

If you’re entering the world of teens it can seem a daunting task to say the least. The door to their world can seem alien and unfriendly, but don’t be afraid. Do some cultural research and forge ahead.  Entertainment geared towards teens, in the form of music and video games, changes as fast as grass grows in the summer, but you can still jump in and learn a little if you’re willing.

Why would you do this? Because when you learn about someone else’s world it opens the door for relationship building. Ask your teen questions about their likes and dislikes and then go … Read More »

Hello Lover | October 21, 2010

While my work schedule has been off the charts – leaving me noticeably absent from my blog and viewing all the lovely ones I checked out on the regular (I will be back soon!) – whilst getting a quick glimpse online tonight, I was lucky enough to feast my eyes on these beauties.

Seriously, what woman wouldn’t want a pair of these in her wardrobe?

Not that Christian Louboutin has ever let my desires down – this only makes me crave his pieces more. Endlessly versatile, these could easily go with any skirt, skinny pant, jean, or trouser easily – giving any … Read More »

The Four Seasons Bora Bora | October 20, 2010

From the minute our small plane glided over the jeweled reef beneath us, through the sunset, I knew we were in for one heck of an experience. As the plane landed, we walked up to a casual marina with a Four Seasons post. Within minutes, the most decadent sense of luxury enveloped us, as our own private yacht with buttery, white leather seats and recessed lighting pulled up with a staff of five greeting us with chilled towels and cool champagne. “Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Bash” echoed across the ship through pearly smiles and heavy French accents. The boat … Read More »
