i love everything turquoise.
i don't like throwing the word 'obsessed' around loosly but i will use it with this color.

i am obsessed with turquoise, and it's many different shades.

i want to paint the furniture in my home all of it's different shades. i want to plan my wedding around it. i want to dress my body in it. it makes me happy. i love you, turquoise.

my living room is all different shades of brown right now and it's starting to really get to me, in a not so good way. i purchased my first wall art the other day [FINALLY] and painted it [martha stewart - beach glass] to add a small splash of color. i need more though! i need lamps and paintings and a rug.

 

here are a few things i have come across on pinterest that i need to make a part of my life, asap. you can see where to get some of these items on my pinterest board - MyHome.

notable oscar attendees

absolutely loved cameron diaz's gucci dress paired with her tiffany & co. jewels [left]. would have def picked this for myself. didn't love emma stone's giambattista valli haute couture dress [right] but i did enjoy her presentation. she is so delightful!

travel

so i just discovered a really cool site.

Uencounter.me 

i came across it while reading a world travel website that i regularly follow. basically, in your travels when you encounter someone or something that is worth remembering, making note of, or showing appreciation for you can pin it on your map and leave a little [or big] comment about your encounter. it's an incredible idea! AND if someone has an encounter with you and finds it noteworthy, there is a possibility of you coming across it in a search on the site. i wish i would have known about this during my travels to washington state and up through canada. i made quite a few connections with strangers that i won't forget. i will def be using it when i set out again. thanks world travel website for the find!

business

something exciting right now. i recently acquired an LLC [limited liability company]. named it fun foam furnishings(, LLC). as of now i [we] have www.kushsacbeanbagchairs.com where you can purchase foam filled "bean bags". remember bean bags? my family had one when i was a wee little one and my brother poked holes in it so the little PVC pellets fell out and made a mess of my parents house. well kush sacks are much more advanced. our sacks are filled with shredded memory foam to make them super comfy and "kushy."

the site is up and running but you can't buy anything off of it until i set up a merchant acct. which i need to accomplish TOMORROW.  i'm excited to start selling these babies! i want to go to town marketing kushsack but i can't exactly do that before the site is ready. i am however,  designing some business cards right now. so far this is what i got.

started taking hyaluronic acid after recommendation by a friend - for joints.  he swears by this supplement so we will see what it does for me.

"hyaluronic acid works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues." -webMD

there is also a lot of talk in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging. in fact, hyaluronic acid has been promoted as a "fountain of youth." but there is no evidence to support the claim that taking it can prevent changes associated with aging.  but i can pretend it's making me younger! giving me more motivation to take it for my bad knees every day, twice a day.





-my personal trainer day2, robert jones. he kicked my butt this morning with twelve minutes of an intense cardio & ab workout. thanks rob.
