Me and Mrs. Hughes.....

I'm a strong believer in the law of attraction and power of the universe and really believe that our thoughts create our life. I also believe that you attract things into your life for better or worse due to those same thoughts, thereby making it our own responsibility about whatever happens to us.

To some this may seem harsh, but even the bible states in Proverbs 23:7 " as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." I'm not a religious person, but I do consider myself to be spiritual and if you take the essence of the bible and the essence of spirituality you will find they are actually one and the same.

Anyway, you are probably wondering what this has to do with Mrs. Hughes.

Well, I wasn't feeling that great a couple of days ago, I'd let some personal stuff get in the way of my usual positive self and couldn't shake the sad feeling off. The universe must have noticed me struggling to get back to my 'feeling good' place because I received an email from a friend. All it said in the body of the email was 'meet mrs. Hughes' with a videolink below.

Normally I don't make time to click on links in emails unless I know what it's about and have been expecting it, but something compelled me to do so regardless of the fact that I was behind on my work and watching whatever the link was would not help me get back on track, or so I thought!

The video lasts 5.10 minutes and I laughed widely through most of the entire video. Mrs. Hughes has such a vibrant, sarcastic yet humorous way of portraying life that I found myself wondering why I had even felt bad in the first place.

Since watching Mrs. Hughes, I am back to my 'feeling good' place, have gotten more work done in the past 48 hours than I did in the 5 days before that and so I decided I wanted to share this video with you.

Whether you're in you own 'feeling good' place or need a pick-me-up to help you feel better, I'm sure you will enjoy the video below. I wish you a wonderful day!

The long and the short of it........

My daughter went to have her hair cut today. It was quite long and she decided that since it got tangled easily and she didn't like using hairclips or elastic bands, she would let the hairdresser cut it into a 'bobstyle" that is the latest fashion these days.

Waiting for her to be finished, I sat down looking at hairstyle books and the idea of cutting my own hair short arose. However, I also immediately thought about how long it had taken me to get to this length and was less convinced although.....

Then again......there was a time that if you cut your long hair short you would have to wait a couple of years for it to get back to the same length as it was before you cut it, but with todays possibilities that is no longer a problem.

Hair extensions, weaves, wigs, whether they be synthetic or real hair can be used and you can have the same length or even longer within 24 hours of cutting your hair.

Naturally, one assumes that you thought your soon to be new hairstyle through before heading for the hairdresser but even though that short wispy style looks great on Lisa Rhinna it may be a disaster style for you.

Your hairdresser, if he/she is a good one, should have already advised you on which styles would suit you or not but more often hairdressers themselves seem to take a safe route and just say that any style will bring out the best of your features.

There is another way. It's called virtual hairstyling Now you can choose whichever style you like and "try" it on. Simply upload a photo into the program, click and you have access to hundreds of hairstyles which you can check out in combination with several ranges of color to see what looks best.

The fun part is that you can try out as many styles and looks as you so choose and save them to a favorites page. Once you have decided on exactly which hairstyle you desire, just print out the photo and take it to your hairdresser.

With each style comes an explanation of what type of hair is best suited for the style, along with the amount of time required to style your hair. If you are still uncertain what would suit you best, there is a page on which you can upload your favorite photos and then have other users comment and rate your styles. This I found very helpful, especially in determining which color would suit me best.

So, now armed with my favorite styles I am making an appointment with the hairdresser tomorrow and I am sure that this time the style I have chosen will be exactly what I thought it would look like and I'll be very happy with it.

And if you really want to double up your reasons for cutting your long hair, why not give your long locks of hair to charity, namely http://www.locksoflove.org/ . It's a wonderful organization that aids financially disadvantaged children with long term medical issues and gives them back their dignity.

Are you REALLY where you want to be in your life?

Have you ever asked yourself this question : Is your life exactly the way you pictured it to be when you were young?

When you were little you probably didn't have any trouble believing that you were going to grow up and be exactly what you wanted to be. You enjoyed pretending and acting as if you had already achieved what it was you desired and had great fun doing so.

Sure your peers would laugh at your games and make gentle fun of you telling you that you should be happy with what life gives you but you just knew that you were right, knew you could make your dreams come true.

Then you got older and were told time after time that you should stop day dreaming, work hard at school and get a steady job. Slowly but surely your dreams were pushed towards the background, sinking deeper and deeper into the lower layers of your conciousness. After a while you just stopped dreaming and stopped believing.

So, have your dreams that seemed so vivid and real when you were little come true or have you settled for less?

If you're like 90% of the world population you are in the last category. You live your life not to the fullest, enjoying every minute of it. You, like most people merely exist.

But why?

Because by the time you are an adult you have been so inundated with negative messages from everyone around you that like most of us you think that it's just not possible to achieve and have what you truly want. We falsely believe that our lives are just meant to be this way and that we have no power to change where we are in life.

We basically accept that this life, the one we are living now is as good as it gets and no-one can do anything about it. We live our lives and don't stop to think what the possibilities are if only we let ourselves discover what is hidden inside of us.

So tell me, did you arrive where you are now on purpose or where you just kind of dragged in this direction, without even thinking about it. And if you arrived here on purpose are you happy with where you are or are you dis-illusioned with your life.

If it was possible to change your circumstances starting with changing your way of thinking would you believe it. If you were told how to make your dreams come true would you listen or would you just laugh and dismiss the words?

There is one major difference between the wealthy and the un-wealthy and it's not the amount of income they generate.

It's their ability to think and believe that what they want is within reach. They have a fixed vision of what it is they desire and the words "not possible" aren't part of their vocabulary.

If it was money that was the difference then why are lotto winners usually broke within a few years of winning? Because they didn't believe that they would win. They just hoped they would.

So, are you ready to think differently?

And the oscar goes to.......... FREEHELD

With the oscars having been held last sunday I couldn't just not talk about them.

Firstly, because we weren't even sure there was going to be an award ceremony what with the writers strike, but secondly, well.....everyone else is talking about them so why not me?! :)

But.......that is where the comparison ends because unlike many, I'm not really interested in who wore what kind of gown from which designer or what kind of jewellry. Nor am I interested in who is dating who or did Jolie-Pitt attend. Nope, that's not me.

I was however interested in the winners list, especially because the short documentary Freehold was on the nominated list.

It's about a same sex couple of which one is terminally ill and requests that her pension be given to her partner.

It shows that no matter how liberal and open minded we think we are in this day and age, we all still have a long, long way to go before we can proudly and justifiably say that everyone on this
planet is ONE.

Rabbit, Rabbit....Where Art Thou ?

A few days ago I watched the movie "What the bleep do we know.......went down the rabbit hole" It's sort of a second part to the original "What the bleep do we know" movie but with people in it that were supposedly excluded the first time around.


I had watched the first movie some time ago, and if I compare them, I feel I got way more out of this second one. It was a little more complicated to understand, what with the technical quantum physics in it, or maybe it wasn't and I am living up to the sterotype cliché of being blonde, either way.... I learned more from "What the bleep...part two"


A certain scene has been going through my mind for the past few days now, and I can't seem to let it go. It's the scene in which Dr. Quantum says, "are we far enough down the rabbit hole yet? " Don't know why, it just seems to be stuck way down in the crevices of my subconcious.


Today, I went through my emails and came across a link to a woman named Leslie Householder. Usually I don't have the time to surf through all the links in all my emails but I felt compelled to click on hers. To my surprise, she has written a book called " The Jack Rabbit Factor", Doinnnng-hallo, anyone home?!


The book was published in 2005 and I'd never heard of it, nor had I ever heard of Leslie Householder until today, yet the 'coincidence' of the word rabbit appearing yet again in such a short period of time put a grin on my face.


The book is now available on her site as a free electronic download http://www.thoughtsalive.com/ and I urge you to do so and read it.

I have many ebooks on my pc collecting cyberdust mainly because I just don't seem to find the time (or most probably they just aren't interesting enough) to read them, but this one......I mean with a title like that you just have to read!

I even read it in one straight sweep. No stopping for toilet breaks, nor coffee breaks, just being drawn into the book, page by page. And boy was it an eye opener. She doesn't talk about earth shattering stuff, she doesn't even really mention anything I didn't know, but its the WAY she writes about it that blew my mind.

If you have seen the movie 'the secret', and if you don't know why your life is not where you want it to be, read this ebook. It won't cost you a dime, but it will bring you out of your comatose state of being, that's for sure.

Erotic Toy Foreplay for Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day being big business (read $$$$$) in the United States, and Europe following suit (€€€€'s of course), one is utterly bombarded a few weeks in advance with advertisements and offers, each one more enticing than the next in order to get the customer to buy a certain product or eat at a certain establishement.

But what I saw when grocery shopping yesterday really made the rest look like last years drainpipe jeans. What you may ask, is so 'out there'?

Well, there is a local weekly print magazine here in Belgium which has been around for over twenty years. I can even remember their first issue, typically girlie and innocent, meant for the 'average' young woman. It has changed over the years of course, but the audience market still remains the same. This weeks' issue however, is far from innocent and even I, with my open mind was quite taken aback by what I saw on the front cover.

As a free gift, there, smack bam! right on the front cover, was a purple jelly cockring with massage gel / lubricant included! To top it off, it wasn't wrapped in some non see-through packaging either, nope. The cockring was sealed in a small window plastic wrapping just stuck to the magazine cover with the massage gel next to it.

I had my youngest daughter with me and she must have found the color interesting thinking it was some sort of toy as she inquisitively tried to pry open the wrapping, with me blushing and trying hard to get her hands away without tearing the magazine at the same time.

Like I said, I consider myself open minded, but to allow this to be presented in every local grocery store, in plain view with the rest of the available magazines, so even small kids can see,
is going a little too far in my opinion.

I'm sure the sponsor Durex is very happy with the stunt and I am also sure there will be many sales of this particular magazine this week but I wonder what the reprecussions are going to be.

There is a TV programme which I'm sure is going to love this subject and I'm positive that we have not heard the end of this.

For those of you who are interested, this is the website http://www.flair.be/ Here you can see the cover page, and though you may not be able to understand what is written as it's in Dutch, the cock ring gets the point across.

Enjoy your week,

Bigger than the Super Bowl upset !

Did you know that 97% of women on this planet do NOT have, according to the fashion industry, the right body proportions?

During my modelling years, I saw many beautiful, photogenic girls be turned away at the agency just because they were what the agents called "full figured" and by that they meant they had a size 6.

Then there was me, skinny, disliking the way my bones protruded out of my skin, not tall enough for the runway, getting job after job because I had what is referred to as a 'barbie doll' figure. It just didn't seem fair and........I really envied those girls.

They didn't have to shop for clothes in the childrens' department, they didn't have to have their clothes specially made because their chest size was two dress sizes bigger than their waist dress size or their boyfriend telling them that they looked like a skeleton.

But unfortunately, most didn't see it that way. They thought I was so lucky and that I should be grateful for the way I looked instead of 'bitching' about it.

Ever since that period in my life, I have always defended the female population in every way I could when it came to weight and body posture, and now with Eden and Elle Magazine I have made a platform for each and every women who also feels that they have every right to be who they are, to look like they do, and be very proud of it.

Please watch the following video. You will see gorgeous 'everyday' women who may not have the 'perfect' body proportions, but they DO look as breathtaking as any professional centerfold. Join our team and sign our petition of Rights for a Fuller Figure!
