It's been seven long years since I last splurged out and invested in a truly cozy and warm winter coat. Fondly dubbed my 'Paddington Bear' coat because, in short, it looks as if I've pinched it from the wardrobe of the beloved cartoon bear thanks to it being the exact shame colours. It's now sadly coming to the end of its well-loved life, with far too many frays and growing holes that have made it almost unwearable - hence... Читать дальше...

Our friend Ty has accompanied Totem on significant passages . We’re very excited that he’s booked a flight to Namibia next month, and will join Totem again to cross the Atlantic to the Caribbean. A little backstory on Ty and our history together seems appropriate: this is a piece Jamie wrote about our indomitable seafaring companion. It first appeared in last December’s issue of 48° North.

The “vulnerable” Muslim community

What kind of savages stone people for being trannies here in the 21st Century? I think we all know … Muslim savages. I consider all religions to be ridiculous but only cowards and hypocrites pretend that Islam is NOT the most homophobic, misogynistic and otherwise intolerant religion in the world at this particular point in history. ...

HELEN GRANT – A BIOGRAPHY

I found this quote on Pinterest the other week, and it really got me thinking. Aside from love and family (because I think PEOPLE and relationships are #1 in my life ALWAYS), these three things are so vital for our day to day:

It seems like MMG boss Rick Ross isn’t feeling the reunion of Birdman and Wayne. Oover the weekend, the Cash Money Records bossBirdman took a subliminal shot at Rozay, who sneak dissed him on his Black Market song “Color Money.”

I know this already happen but I still wanted to discuss a little bit about the original Aunt Viv and her bitterness. Yes something that she pointed out was correct, but what makes her statements less appealing is that her statements are coming from a bitter place. We all know you don’t like the Smith’s. So it’s kind difficult to see are you coming from a sincere place or are you just really bitter?

Verdict

Oh, ovals! How I love you. My own ring is an oval, so it is my favorite shape (beating our radiant cuts by fractions of points.) I love the smooth symmetry, the elongated look, and the fact that they look bigger thanks to their proportions. I also love that you don’t see them everyday. So when I see a fellow oval bride, I give her the head nod. And when I see more oval diamonds in the RLJ showcase, I give them a whirl on my hand. Diamonds shrink with age you know, so I always like to keep an ...

The growing of technology has mandated us to change the way in which we store information. Traditionally, letters and notes were sent to pass messages across. Today however, with the many gadgets and the internet, you can send messages to a person instantly. This technology is almost as beautiful as it is ugly.

Now I’m a fervent fan of Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque – I use it almost daily and it’s gentle enough to not dry out the skin, and yet efficient enough to remove all the icky gunk that’s stuck in the pores. Imagine my excitement when I found out that Kiehl’s now has two new masks!

For once yesterday it didn't rain.  
The sun shone in patches, I even risked a few things on the washing line and it didn't, as is my usual way, bring on an immediate downpour.  The workmen used to yell at me for putting washing on the line,  for every time an hour after doing so the heavens would open and they would all be working in big coats and hats for the rest of the day.
No it stayed dry and fresh, ...

Washington Post

President Obama rolled out a package of executive actions on guns this week. The changes included clarifying rules meant to broaden the use of background checks by private sellers, allocating money for mental health treatment, and adding more staff at the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to help enforce existing regulations. The changes were modest in scope -- experts and even the NRA agreed that ...
