The Royal Wedding

Half the world thinks it's highly over-rated...and the other half was watching it! I spent my morning watching TLC's replay of the entire wedding (couldn't bring myself to get up in the middle of the night to watch it live), and I am just stunned at the beauty and excitement over the entire event. 1 million people filled the square outside of Buckingham Palace to catch a glimpse of the Prince and Princess's balcony kiss...and they look like they are so in love and having such fun! So whether you were an avid watcher or not, I am happy to see that there are so many people who just want to be in the presence of such a happy and wondrous occasion! And check out the dress...really what all us girls were waiting to see! Just stunning!

Great Style

So, we all know that we feel better when we look great - but a lot of people don't have the time or the money to spend on themselves to get the style that they actually want. A lot of people go without it for so long that they forget to EVER get back in the groove - welcome to "What Not To Wear".



My friend Brittanee wants to healp people get out of their rut and find their own individual style. Couldn't we all use that? She is competing to be a stylist at Southgate Centre in Edmonton and once you take a look at her outfits, you'll KNOW that she's the one you want helping you with your wardrobe! So go give her your vote today! And everyday! Just click here to go to the Southgate website and vote for Brittanee Tomkow!

Great Ideas!

Now, a great idea is hard to predict, but when you get one, you get this feeling in the pit of your stomach like it's the right thing to do. And they can show up at any time - mine showed up last night at 2:30am - keeping me awake for hours while I wrote every detail down so that I wouldn't forget it. It's funny what can happen in your dreams! Here are just a few examples of great ideas - what's yours?

98% Exciting 2% Scary

Ok - so if anybody checks out Google today, the icon is for the 50th anniversary of the first human space flight (Yuri Gagarin 1961). During the historic 108-minute flight of his Vostok 1 spacecraft, Gagarin passed east over the Soviet Union and the Pacific, skimmed over the Straits of Magellan before crossing the Atlantic, Africa and the Middle East.

Here is the first description of Earth from outer space:
"I can see clouds. I can see everything. It's beautiful" - Yuri Gagarin

As an avid fan of space travel (I was one of those kids that wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up), I commend all of the international space programs that are exploring "the final frontier".

ZUMBA!!!

Hey all you ladies out there! I encourage you to try a Zumba class in your neighborhood!

The program is exhilerating and easy to follow - even for non-dancers, so check it out today! Go to the Zumba Fitness homepage to find a class near you!

The Movies

I don't know about everybody else, but I just LOVE going to the movies. Although I don't always indulge in the fantastic tasting popcorn and other goodies, I love a night out with good friends and a good show. Check out some of the movies on a big screen near you!

Happiness is Balloons

Whether you agree that "Happiness is Balloons" or not, this blog is dedicated to finding the joy in life whilst we are being bombarded with negatives. Just take one glimpse at your local news and try to pull something positive out of it - most of the time it's hard to do.
