There are very few of us on this planet earth who do not have continuous access to the internet, and even less who are not familiar with electronical devices containing chips such as nintendos', x-boxes, desktop or laptop pcs just to name a few. All have some form of contact opportunity with others.
Most of the time we enjoy the freedom it gives us to connect with people on the other side of the world without being charged an overwhelming amount of money as with traditional telephones. However, when these same devices crash with ALL our information on it, one can't help but reminisce about the 'good old days' when pen and paper were used, while at the same time having a nagging feeling of dependency entering ones' mind concerning the way we live now.
When my pc broke down last week, I was at my wits end. Together with a technician, I spent the good part of two days trying to retrieve my work, not to mention helplessly trying to remember the many phonenumbers I had stored on my hard drive.
Finally, after many frustrating hours, I was able to log into my agenda and addressbook, call or email people I had appointments with and apologize for the missed calls and/or meetings, in the hope they would understand. Luckily, most did.
Still, I went out that same day and bought myself a daily planner with addressbook as a backup so if ever something like this happens again, at least I will be prepared! (assuming off course that I write all the information in it I also have on my pc, but thats another story :) )
This week so far has been a race against the clock, so as to make sure that the readers of Eden & Elle magazine would not go hungry having to wait for their monthly shot of great articles, ideas, advice and gorgeous photos', and dare I say so myself, the issue is turning out to be divine, hot and dewy with a dexterity you will not be able to deny! Due to the pc crash, I re-connected with people I hadn't talked to in a long time, resulting in 3 new contributors and such high quality content it will blow you mind!
Subscribe and don't miss the February issue of Eden & Elle magazine, for the 'everyday' women and men who are not so ordinary - which means YOU! Online 1st of each month!
Enjoy!

K.I.S.S. (keep it short and sweet)
Yes, I know that K.I.S.S. doesn't originally stand for the above but as tomorrow rolls in to Christmas eve and most of us will refrain (or at least try to) from sitting in front of our computers too much, I wanted to keep this short so you'd actually read it all :)
2008 has been a turbulent year, with a new president being elected, snow falling in places which hasn't seen snow for over 113 years, the economic crisis not to forget the HUGE scam that involves multinational companies and even banks....!
Instead of being frustrated about what you may not have been able to buy, do or become, why not join me in being grateful for what you HAVE accomplished?!
Focus on the good things that have taken place in your life, on the people you love and on your dreams of the future. Let yourself be filled with pride and joy that you are a magnificent person, one that has the opportunity to live on this natural,gorgeous planet.
I know I certainly am grateful for all I have in my life, and for having the honor of having you join me here almost every week.
Thank you, thank yourselves and Enjoy Christmas as much as you can.
yours sincerely,
Désirée

The Disappearing Act
Many of you have written to me to ask what happened to the October issue of Eden&Elle Magazine and an explanation is long overdue.
As you may or may not know I sometimes work with other photographers and for the October issue I had again decided to give another photographer a chance to publish his work in Eden&Elle. Unfortunately, this person bailed out on me at the very last minute leaving me with no photo shoot to publish and as you know, Eden&Elle differeniates itself due to the photos of 'everyday' women.
Along with that, the main database with all the technical data and information crashed and all the articles that had been edited and were ready for publishing were lost.
And since 'bad' things seem to happen in threes (as the saying goes here in Belgium) that same pc was hacked and several passwords and other delicate information was lost, making it technically too challenging for me to get the October issue of Eden&Elle out on time.
Since the data was 'lost' (or hidden somewhere), I also couldn't get into the subscribers lists and it has taken until today to get everything back in working order.
I trust that you will eagerly be anticipating the arrival of the November issue and can promise you it will be a fun packed, uplifting and true to the heart of you all issue.
To end this week......
Often we are told that in order to change our lives all we have to do is change our thoughts. In theory that is simple but in practice all too many of us find this very difficult and challenging to do. So how do we get rid of our negative thoughts?
The video below shows you HOW you may be able to do this the 'easy' way!

Summer lovin'
Summer is coming to an end though here in Belgium one cannot really talk of a 'summer'. For the last two months during the entire summer school vacation, it has been quite chilly, with there being several occasions that I have had to light the wooden log fire to heat the house.
We haven't really seen the sun, for the clouds were so dense that the rays couldn't shine through, and I have had to find refuge in the tanning salon as otherwise my skin would not have been tanned even the slightest!
With September arriving, school also begins next week, with many preparations to be done and things to be bought on time and off course the September issue of Eden & Elle magazine will also be available online September 1st!
I'm really excited about this for as mentioned in June, the magazine was to receive an overhaul. We have done our utmost best to make the magazine more pleasing to the eye while keeping its' true intention 100% in tact.
I'm also very happy to say that even throughout the summer stop, many new readers subscribed and we would like to wish them all a warm welcome to our growing 'family' of readers!
I will keep this week short as there is still much to do so in order for you all to be able to enjoy the latest Eden & Elle magazine on September 1st but I wanted to give you a sneak preview of what's inside.....
With Debra sharing her thoughts on her travels to Europe, Steve teaching you his secrets on sales and Ekaterina talking about wonderful new techniques on keeping fit without doing sports, we also have an astounding photo session and indepth interview with an incredible and brave woman named Tine, just to name a few. To find out what this entails you'll have to be patient till next week but we guarentee it will have you thinking differently!
Talk to you soon!

a Jewel for Men AND Women!
When it comes to figuring out why women think, act and say the things they do, many men have given up or have lost their hair trying to find out. It's not that women are complicated human beings, it's that men are......well, sadly equipped to handle the type of intricacy that women are designed with.
This is especially so when it comes to sex.
Although most men know or at least have heard of the fact that women are "thinking" creatures and men are "doing" animals, it hasn't registered with them so far as to actually change their 'tactics' when approaching a women they are interested in. Nor have they been very successful in being able to understand their long time partners or spouses.
But the fault doesn't just lie with men. Women themselves are ingenious at making their lives and everything around them much more complicated than it really should be.
We pride ourselves on being able to multitask, having 'female' intuition (which we don't seem to use very often), being independent and the only sex than can bare children, so why make our lives so ambivalent?
If you have an answer, please.......let me know!
But in the mean time, for men and women who want the opposite sex to know how to get to know them, to be able to seduce them in the way they desire to be seduced, Jewel Feathers has written a book.
In Jewels' book, "How to make HER come!.....What Sex Type Is She?" she explains that there are three types of women when it comes to sexual pleasure. Each type is explained in detail, from what she wears, how she walks and talks to finding out what a certain type enjoys the most between the sheets (or anywhere else for that matter!)
This book isn't only aimed at men, though it is an extremely valuable tool for each and every one of them, be it young, old, inexperienced or 'advanced'. It's also for women, as after having read this book they will know exactly what kind of signals they are sending out to men, good and bad, and can adjust them if they feel the need to do so accordingly.
Now if that doesn't get your blood rushing to certain areas, the following certainly will!
Order a copy of Jewel Feathers book How to Make HER Come!.....What Sex Type Is She?, through the link below, and you will automatically be entered to take part in a competition with cash prizes with the 1st prize, a trip to Paris, France for 2 persons!
So you can evolve your romantic skills, get the woman or man of your dreams and then celebrate your love in the most idyllic city in the world.

What color is your hair.........down there ?
As you may remember I had my first brazilian wax in January of this year. Was it painful? You betcha! Did I do it again? Yep, but in this case three was not a charm.
Here(in Belgium) I don't think they understand the true nature of what a brazilian wax is. Both times not all the hair 'down there' was removed.
The first time I was told it was due to the fact it was my first waxing and therefore they were being very careful. The beautician said they would remove the hairs that had been left behind next time around. It didn't make much sense to me but as my skin felt like it was on fire, I presumed she knew what she was talking about.
The second time the same thing occurred and I asked the beautician if she could remove all the hair as that was what I was paying for. But she told me that it was normal that some hairs were always left behind. I didn't really believe her and concluded that this type of waxing just wasn't made for my skin or what I had thought it would be.
Only after talking to a friend of mine, who also happens to be a beautician, did I learn that it wasn't me,nor my rather delicate skin, that was at fault but the beauty salon itself.
Normally ALL the hairs have to be removed when one is waxed, and it doesn't matter whether its a brazilian wax or just a plain leg wax. The result has to be a hairless, smooth, non irritated skin.
Since there isn't another salon in this Province that even does brazilian waxing, I gave up on the idea.
And now I'm so glad I did !
Because in my search of more information about waxing, I stumbled upon a site that offers hair color dye........for the hair down there!
Enthused by what I read, I contacted the public relations agency of this company and asked if I could interview the woman behind this wonderful idea. Within a couple of weeks I was able to schedule an interview and talk to Nancy Jarecki, CEO and innovator of bettybeauty inc. (www.bettybeauty.com)
Nancy is a wonderful, kind hearted, vivacious woman and she talked open heartedly about her life, career and where she got the idea of color dye for the hair down there.
In the April issue of Eden and Elle Magazine you will be able to read all about Nancy Jarecki, the bettybeauty inc. products and even about her marriage to Andrew Jarecki, Moviefone cofounder and Hollywood director of movies like Capturing the Friedmans.

What's your vision for 2008 ?
Happy New Year!!!!!!!
Appropriately, to start off the new year, it has started snowing and the streets and fields now lay under a white blanket. It looks gorgeous!
I hope for the childrens' sakes that it stays a couple of days, just long enough for them to make a snowman and draw snowangels and have some snowball fights.
My year has begun wonderfully. I trust yours has too. If not, then read on as there is a way to change your outlook on life, who knows, you may actually even start to enjoy it!
For the January edition of EdenandElle Magazine, I was lucky to be able to interview an incredible lady called Kandee G. She is a wonderful life skills coach, an International keynote speaker and an author whose lifestory goes by the title "from peanut butter to private jets".
Kandee G. is as inspiring as she is vivacious. I knew quite a bit about her before I interviewed her, but when I spoke to her myself, well....just wow! She personifies much of what women wish to be like and her warm hearted character puts her miles ahead of many other personal life coaches I know. Kandee G. truly wants to help anyone that asks for her help, it's not only about the dollars and cents with her, it's the feeling of being able to truly help make a difference in your life that motivates her.
If you have made a resolution for this year that you are going to change your circumstances, how you live your life, how you FEEL, then I suggest you take her online vision program which starts in the third week of January. You'll find more information in the latest edition of Eden & Elle magazine or you can check out her site http://www.kandeeg.com/ and no, I'm not affiliated with her in any shape or form, I'm just a strong believer that she can deliver what others promise but fail miserably to do.
Of course, if you think that it's not going to take any work on your part, then think again, but know this. Each minute that passes is one you can NEVER get back, wouldn't you want to be able to enjoy every minute of the day and have a genuine smile on your face ?
Whatever you decide to do, you always have a choice, just make sure it's your choice and that you are comfortable with it. Too many times we seem to forget that we are on this planet for a limited time only, we fall victom to doing as others do, not what WE want to do.
Don't let yourself be a victom, be a victor! Step outside your comfort zone and live, feel alive!
Only want the best for yourself, dare to be selfish, you can't give what you haven't got. It's a snowball effect. The more you love yourself......the happier you become......the more you are able to accomplish in this happy state of mind......the wealthier (in every way) you become.....the more you can give to others and do so selflessly..........the happier you become.....you get the picture?!
Good! Now go for it - look inside yourself and search for your dorment dreams, you may be very surprised with what you find.
Have a great week!
