My new thing...

COMPOSTING

Gene just built me a composter last weekend.  I have been asking for like a year and he finally did it.  I even made a cheesy video and everyhing for it.  I will post video and pics soon.  Now I will finally create my own "black gold" since I don't have much of a green thumb.  My goal is to start a garden this summer but I want the most nutrient rich soil to begin with.  So I have begun the composting process.

I love Tory Burch!!!!!

A Tory Story

 

One of my favorite designers, Tory Burch, stopped by Saks Fifth Avenue at Waterside Shops on Thursday, and I jumped at the chance to chat with her. As expected, she looked adorable in her poofy skirt and larger-than-life platform sandals.

Since we already knew a bunch about her business side, thanks to Diane Clehane’s interview with her in the April issue of Gulfshore Life, on newsstands now, I decided to ask her a little more about herself than her brand. Some Tory tidbits:

 

Her hobbies: I play tennis and squash. I’m a bit of a tomboy.

 

Favorite thing to design: Season-wise, fall. My favorite pieces to design are jewelry.

 

Her go-to outfit: Skinny pants, a trench and a T-shirt

 

Favorite book of all time: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

 

Favorite place to visit: Asia, especially Thailand, for its culture, people and food.

 

Most wants to visit: Tunisia

 

People would be surprised to know: I have a really dry sense of humor.

Avenue in Naples.

She also mentioned that we can expect to see Tory Burch expanding and “getting better and better,” including a collection of sunglasses in partnership with Luxotica this October. Talk of a home line is still in the works.

My latest craze...

Double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies on Celsius have been conducted by U.S. accredited scientific research facilities according to strict scientific standards.

It's MetaPlus™, the scientifically-validated, proprietary thermogenic blend that gives Celsius its fire and raises your metabolism.

I can't believe she has the nerve...

Shanna Moakler's Latest Response to Miss California Controversy

Thu., May. 7, 2009 8:15 PM PDT by MARC MA

Shanna Moakler is doing it again.

Just a week after posing for a pro-gay marriage PSA, Moakler spent part of today shooting print and television spots for a new campaign, which she says was inspired by the Miss California controversy.

It's not exactly about gay rights, but…

"It's called 'I Believe,'" Moakler explained to me earlier today. "It's a campaign trying to show the diversity of California and really spreading equality. The Miss California Organization's slogan is 'The Beauty of California,' and that represents everything. That's what we try to celebrate in our organization."

Last Friday, Moakler unveiled a PSA for NOH8, which features her and two other former pageant title-holders with duct tape over their mouths as a symbol of pro-gay voices not being heard.

The latest endeavor, produced by the Miss California Organization (Moakler is its executive director), includes about a dozen Miss Universes and Miss USAs.

 "I'm really proud and excited about it," Moakler said. "I think it's really important that people understand that though Carrie Prejean is allowed to have her opinions, they don't necessarily coincide with the Miss California Organization."

And get this—"I Believe" wasn't the only PSA Moakler shot today. I actually caught up with her while she was filming E!'s very own "Drive Safe" campaign promoting responsible drinking.

The celeb-packed campaign, a collaboration with Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Ciroc Ultimate Premium Vodka, features Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson, Dave Annable, Karina Smirnoff,Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Kat Von D.

I have plenty of scoop from the top-secret set. I'll be posting plenty throughout the next couple of weeks leading up to the launch of the campaign.

I cannot believe she has the nerve to resign due to the fact she no longer believes the same way as the pageant organization.  What a hypochondriac!  She was making a huge deal over Carrie Prejean pictures that got leeked when Shanna herself posed in playboy!  I think she is just jealous that Carrie is prettier than her and has generated more press than her.  Goodbye Shanna, you will not be missed!!!

Kids say the funniest things...

Logan said the funniest thing yesterday, " Mom, when I see Barack Obama, I am going to tell him about Geico."  I asked why and he replied, "Because it saves you money and he should save our  money."
