About Me

My photo
I was motivated to start a blog by reading all the wonderful talented individual's who have blogs out there. So, I want to make this blog about everyone who reads it. My family and God always comes first in my life. I want to share my experiences and in turn, hope to get feedback and ideas from you. I love unique things, I adore anything that sparkles (not over the top though) I love decorating, cooking, gardening, photography and shopping. My number one passion is photography! To me it becomes more than a picture, it can become a piece of art, or a beautiful memory. Decorating, though I am not a professional, and don't claim to be, has been a part of my life since I was very young, and just love searching and shopping for new ideas and incorporate the old, such as Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency with contemporary. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, and being of Hispanic heritage, I love cooking Mexican food, and love to share my authentic recipes. Though I live in Florida, my heart is in the desert southwest, and hope that my family and I will return there very soon…keep your fingers crossed that my prayers are answered SOON!!!

Cosmetic cases and more...

It's no big secret from anyone who knows me that I love organization and if it can be beautiful, all the better.  And, when it comes to cosmetics or any type of personal grooming products, it's always a plus to have them well organized so you can quickly get to what you need and not have to search and search.  Here are some that my daughter and I particular like, and what is so nice about them, you can put more than just your cosmetics in them, they are especially nice for jewelry too.  Another wonderful feature is when you travel, all you have to do is pick it up and you're ready to go.

All the craze right now is "The Clear Cube".  http://www.theclearcube.com/  On certain Hollywood reality shows, magazines, etc., this particular acrylic cosmetic case has been the hot topic.  Though they are a bit pricey at almost $300, when you research other acrylic items, it's not really that bad.  It is made very well and the greatest feature is you can see everything right there, no guessing involved.   The clear clean lines of the cube also looks beautiful sitting on a vanity.
