I’m back, Loves!
April 27, 2009
For those of you who follow me on twitter, too- you’ve probably noticed my tweets have been very quiet lately! I have been traveling (with a bit more coming up soon as well) however, where I was my phone had no reception during the entire trip!
I entertained myself with the company of some amazing friends and had an incredible time- we also did a bit of shopping and WOW do I ever have some killer posts coming up. I am so excited, some of these items I still can’t even believe are real… seriously insane finds (including a vintage 1920′s wedding dress!).
But more on that later! I have some fun items coming up, and just wanted to let you all in on what has been happening. I’ll be posting first thing tomorrow- see you then!

Doing What You Love & A Little Red Swing
February 23, 2009
It was such a gorgeous Sunday, yesterday- the sun was perfect throughout the entire day and there was a delightful cool wind dancing along. A perfect day to do what you love.
And do what I love- I did; with some wonderful people and the assistance of a little red swing.
The things you love and want always seem to turn up at just the right times, and they are always such a welcoming delight. As was this case with this particularly pretty Sunday. While going about my everyday routines, it is always interesting how paths cross and people and opportunities rise up in the most enjoyable instances. Social networking places like twitter and facebook especially keep things in motion.
My path was fortunate enough to cross an amazing photographer known well by her adorable calling- “three heart photo.” The moment we met and I looked at her work I was excited, it just came about so perfectly.
And so yesterday we played around with a test shoot- I love shoots, the energy, the creativity, the feel- it is something I love being a part of. Tracy of Three Heart Photo is an incredible talent and a delight to shoot with. You can feel her passion in the photos she produces, and I am honored to be a part of them.
The little red swing at the Menil made for great location and lovely Sunday afternoon. And the cool thing was that she had Marc of Click.Wind.Repeat assist her for the day, another very talented photographer I was grateful to meet. He had just gotten this too cool of a camera which he brought along for the shoot, and sneaked in a couple shots to play with. Love it!
Do what you love, and more will come up to you- even when you least expect it. That is the beauty of being fabulous each and every day.

Beauty In Bubble Baths & (Sometimes) Being a Baby
February 17, 2009
Because sometimes you just want to be a baby, you know? I’ve been sick the past few days and sleeping longer than even the kitties cuddled up with me- much needed and definitely beginning to feel better now. Pretty much the only thing I could get the energy to get up and do was indulge in a bath.
And for me, when I am sick I feel like a baby. So why not take it to a step further and be a little bit of a baby? The bubbles are only one direction- and for it to be right, the more bubbles the better! Definitely a way to cheer up with a bit of fun. But when sick…it can be a little different.
And it is at times like this that a soothing vapor bath does wonders (not to mention feels incredibly luxurious on its own). Feeling like a baby never felt so lovely.
I like to go all the way and use the Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Vapor Bath, just like the babies. Why not?
Sometimes its the things of our childhood that brings us right back up to speed as adults, and more focused than ever. This is a treat I like to reserve for when I am sick, and it makes it all the more special of an occasion. Being sick doesn’t have to be a completely horrible experience – it’s all about getting better and doing so in style. That way we can get back to the things we love.
My New Book Is Making The Scene
February 11, 2009
Wow, where do I even begin today? I have been so excited I haven’t been able to stop smiling all day- this is such a fabulous thing!
And I am incredibly delighted and honored to announce the pre-publication availability of my book to my pretty and fabulous followers- yes you fantastic gorgeous creatures! You mean the world to me and I want you to know it!
My book, “The Importance of Image” is something I created to reveal just how powerful an image can be. At the same time how much an image can be used for or against you- whether you realize it or not.
It is something that is often overlooked or ignored- but the results are still as strong as ever. When you give your attention to image- you’d be amazed at all that is happening around you. And when you begin to notice and tune in to this world, everything starts happening for the better. This is a wonderful advantage.
And an advantage I want you to have! Reserving your copy is simple and can be done right away, it is only available for pre-order from this secret link:
http://theprettysociety.com/secret_order.html
Everyone else will have to wait until it is released on Amazon on March 3rd, 2009. Pre-ordered copies will be the first to be sent- so be sure to reserve yours now!
I am so excited to share this with you, loves! This is a book for the pretty and fabulous 
Little Miss Aveline
February 8, 2009
It was only a matter of time before I introduced her, and so here she is: little miss Aveline. Wherever there are new shoes to be found, a new purse or other fashion accessory, even a new shopping bag- there you will find her.
Ever since she was a teeny tiny kitten, she has loved all things fashion (actually making my hat box into her bed, mushed hat included). Watching me do my make up with the brushes is something she has always loved, it is her favorite thing to do in the morning still to this day.
She is my little girl with the spotted belly and I call her Aveline. Very cat like, unlike her brother Ulric- she never knocks over anything- no matter how crowded a bookshelf may be, and is so quiet and quick you may never even see her. When her brother tries to mimic her moves, he knocks over items in the other room- not even close to her grace, though I still love him, too.
Kitties can be funny, and these two are constantly entertaining and keeping me happy. They know when a snuggle is in order or when to play, and they are always there in times of need. You’ve met Ulric in a previous post, now you have met my little Aveline as well.
She likes to nap with her little stuffed puppy toy, funny little thing.
She does love her belly rubs, as well. Such a cutie.
Oh How Kitties Grow Up So Quickly
January 13, 2009
So I am relaxing on the sofa and one of my kitties has to come up and join me. He is very much a snuggler, and something of a leaner. I don’t know where he picked that up from.. he just likes to lean with all of his weight against you. I don’t know if it is entirely comfortable or not, but he certainly likes to do it. Strange little kitty.
Well, not so little any more as you can see! This is Ulric; he is named Ulric because of all the kittens in the litter he was the one that would constantly cry “wolf”, or meow wolf in this case. He can be a bit of a puppy at times, loves to play/devour his toys and enjoys car rides-even loves the flavored bone toys for puppies. I know, strange kitty.
Here he is as a kitten, you could totally eat him up, I know- he is sooo cute. He constantly wants to include himself as I am typing my posts, so I thought why not include him in a post of his very own. So I will show my kitty a little love.
I kept Ulric and his sister, who I have named Aveline, from this litter of kittens who were sadly left behind during a neighbor’s move. All the other kittens were given to wonderful homes (including that of a Veterinarian, I know they are in great hands).
Aveline is something of a fashion kitty.. she loves to sleep in a hat box and inspect any purse or shoe she sets her eyes on. She’s something of a flirt, too.. I think I’ll introduce her in her own little post sometime in the near future. She definitely loves her accessories.
Lifestyle Luxury From An At Home Income & Someone Dear To Me
January 9, 2009
How do I live such a glamorous lifestyle?
Well, in answer to the old… “So what do you *do* anyway” question. What I do has more to do with why we do anything- to achieve the luxury of a certain lifestyle.
“A luxurious lifestyle” and “the comforts of home,” we may say the phrase casually but it does hold a meaning to us all. We all yearn for it and after all is said in done there is nothing as luxurious as having all the time you wish to spend in your very own little place. It is all about having your own quality time.
I don’t think I have formally introduced him so here he is, someone very dear to me and someone who has allowed me to live this lifestyle that I cherish.
He is my fiance, Timothy Black. Together through his experiences and knowledge we are able to live the lifestyle that we do. Oh, and by the way, neither of us work. And in case you are wondering, there was no inheritance or trust fund or anything of that sort involved! We don’t have any bosses, or schedules, or meetings.. we pretty much do whatever we want to each day, it’s really great.
Sometimes I think I take it for granted and don’t share enough about it to you, and I want to. Especially as it is something that is open to anyone who wants our lifestyle, too.
It doesn’t matter how much you earn if you work until you are so tired you have no time to yourself. There are more important things in life and nothing should keep that away from you.
Enjoying a great dinner with friends, Timothy is on the right and I am in the braids.
So we travel, and shop (he has a great eye for style, I seem to have rubbed off on him nicely), and eat, and drink wine, and spend time with family and make great new friends along the way. He is great at what he has created for the brilliant thing is that it is all from home. He shows those who want to discover an income at home how to do it and do it well, too. He is a great coach- he taught me and I couldn’t believe how easy it was, or how fun it could be especially when you are in control.
It brings me great new shoes, dresses, jewelry, spontaneous trips, and most importantly the time to do what I want when I want with the people I want.
It really rocks, lol.
For his birthday I took him skydiving in Lake Wales- what a great time. We were delayed a day though since there was a tornado warning or watch in effect- not something you want when you are jumping out of a plane! The next day was beautiful and I would do it again in an instant.
When I first met Timothy (over six years ago) and found out a bit about him, I also found out that he shouldn’t be alive by the opinions of many doctors. Getting into a relationship, that isn’t something you want to hear, let alone throwing him out of an airplane like this.
We’ve come a long way, and I wanted to share our story with you. I think it is important.
You can find out more about why he “shouldn’t be alive” and then visit http://www.concealedcash.com
And it is an amazing story, just take a look and see for yourself. You can also see how it is that we make a living at home and have the lifestyle that we do.
This is something I want available to you since it can improve your life no matter where you are.
Much Love and Best Regards,
Bombshell Kitten
