Music Soothes My Soul

Hello Friends!

Today Jimi and I are super excited because we are going to visit and spend time with our friend at his Music Studio.  We are going to work on an Original song that I wrote which we hope to share with the world very soon!!! Well, I should not say soon because these things take time.  Soon could be tomorrow, could be next week, could be in a year....I will say, as soon as possible. It is funny that "as soon as possible" is ASAP, to me that means....Right Now! Truth be told, it is really only as soon as possible...LOL.

Anyway, the song is called Mysterious Origin and it is about relationships, particularly how some people are not true to themselves when in relationships and that to find the truth in life you must first be yourself.  I am so anxious to hear how this project is going to turn out!!! Of course I will share it with you whenever it is complete...so bear with me, these things take time♥

I have posted photos of the studio before but for those of you that may be new followers...here are a couple photos.

I'll be back here soon.....Hope your day is filled with Music and Magic♥

Much love,

I Love Sharing A Great Sale!!


What are your favorite products at the Drug Store? If you love to shop for sales, I have found that Rite Aid has always been a great place to go.

It is a pale almost Nude Pink and is perfect for any skin tone!!!  I am excited to use the eye shadow's...especially the gold color.   Let me know if you have tried any of the products I have mentioned...I would love your comments.

Healthy Eating

One of my goals this year and as always to eat healthy!  I have always enjoyed fruits and vegetables and creating meals that include them. I have been seriously interested in beginning to start Juicing..as of late, I have been doing some research on the fantastic benefits of it.  Not to mention, it is so much cheaper to do it yourself than to buy it ready made in the store.  Jimi and I went Grocery Shopping this past week and we filmed a vlog and grocery haul.



  We are really enjoying Vlogging together♥

Also, this week has been filled with Friends and Music...another regular around here.  My Friend Denise gifted me this lovely piece of Art the other day.


Denise said that as soon as she saw this, she had to get it for me because it reminded her of me.  I have it proudly displayed in my Studio so that I can look at it all the time when I am working.  It does remind me of me, in fact, I wear a rose at the side just like the one in the photo. If you follow my Blog, you know that my friend Denise has been mentioned in several of my posts...Jimi and I recently enjoyed a very elegant dinner party at her and Marty's house. I believe the post is entitled Dinner with Friends.  Anyway, how was your week?

Hope all is well♥

Much Love,
♥♥♥

Busy Around Here!!!!

Things have been very busy around here!!!! Last week Jimi, Justin and I went to Harrisburg Pa for the Pennsylvania State Farm Show.  Justin was doing a presentation with the Pa Preferred Culinary Connection.  Jimi and I have a Marketing Company that represents Justin so we filmed Video's of the presentation along making several connections.  It was really a nice trip.  Below are a few photo's from Harrisburg...these were taken from our Hotel Room window.





We ate at an Irish Pub the night we arrived called Ceoltas...check it out here: http://www.ceoltasirishpub.com/
I enjoyed an amazing Veggie Burger, oh it was yummy....take a peek at their menu http://www.ceoltasirishpub.com/menu.htm  there are so many things to choose from!!!

Let me know if you are familiar with this restaurant...I know I want to go back, even if it is a get-away trip, I would like to visit Harrisburg again.  We did not get to spend more than on day there so a return trip to our State Capital would be Grand!!!


Have a Beautiful Week!!!
Much Love,
♥♥♥

~My Current Favorite Teas and How I Store Them~



I am super excited to be able to share this video with you!!!!!  Please check it our at the link below.  It took me literally two days to process and upload for viewing.  Jimi said it was because I need to either update my software or my computer is older and does not process HD quickly.  I will have to do some research and find out what is happening.  It was so frustrating to have to wait that long because I was not able to do anything else on my laptop while the video was saving and processing.  My Laptop was completely frozen! Anyway....hope you enjoy♥

 What are your Favorite Teas? Please feel free to suggest any you may recommend for me to try.
Have a beautiful Day!!!

Creating with Friends!

Hello...today is the day I am sharing some of the photo's Jimi and I have from the adventure we took last week.  In the last post, I mentioned that we had taken an adventure and shared a video with you of our travels.  If you have not had a chance to see that video, scroll down to the previous post to watch it or you can see it here: http://youtu.be/-LbJZ_lajz8
That particular day was so much fun for Jimi and I!!! We had a great time visiting friends on their Farm and learned how to make beeswax candles.  It was truly a great experience!!!

My friend Robin Armstrong-Seeber(Robin is also my Business Partner with RD Productions...you can visit us here: https://www.facebook.com/RDproductionsforartists  )took the photo above...it is a look at the melted beeswax that we used in order to make the hand dipped, lamplighter and taper candles.  For those of you that do not know what "Lamp Lighter" candles are, I will explain.  In colonial times, there were no matches or electricity. A thin taper like candle was used to light the lanterns in and around the house...hence the name, " Lamp Lighter."   I think that is pretty neat and so inventive, wouldn't' you say?

In addition, we made votive candles.  Robin and her Hubby Roger, sent us home with so many goodies!!! They had packaged up a gift of mixed Beeswax candles and supplies to start making our own candles along with a great bottle of wine.
 

Take a peek at the lovely Tapers we made with Robin and Roger.



...and the votive candles we placed in our Candle-scape that sits on our coffee table at home.




It is such a pleasure to burn Beeswax candles.  They are extremely environmentally friendly, do not emit harmful fumes for people and animals to breathe and smell so amazing....just like honey!
Jimi and I are super excited to begin making these candles ourselves.  We spend so much money on candles as we always buy and burn them, so we figured it would help us to save money.  Most importantly though, not only is it better for our health to use these candles, we enjoyed the process and will have fum makeing them too.  Win, Win, I say!!!

Lastly, I wanted to mention that Robin and Roger raise chickens on their Farm and gave us two dozen beautiful Fresh Brown eggs to also take home.


We had a great time enjoying Friendship, Food and Fun...can not wait to visit with them again!!!

Much Love,
♥♥♥

The Gratitude Journal

 In the last post, I shared with you my plans to keep a gratitude journal...so far I have a couple of entries.  The entries are brief so it is really simple to write in daily...I send positive wishes to my self to continue my plan as I would like to have 365 entries by next Dec. 31st.  I know that not everyone will keep a gratitude journal but I came up with an idea so that we could all inspire each other and post what we are grateful for together. You can read what I am talking about here:
 https://www.facebook.com/miladyleela/posts/573808412635747

In addition, below is a brief video about The Gratitude Journal...I would love for you to take a look♥
