I have written about why ...

Have you noticed? Terrazzo is trending really big these days and not only on floors but walls, surfaces and furniture and accessories as well. Taking after the all marble ecstasy we've been through these past years (which thankfully is still here strong and steady) this equally eloquent, sturdy and natural surface has a more casual and eclectic vibe and definitely a more colorful and geometric result due to the way it is created. To tell you the truth, terrazzo floors have been a part of my life... Читать дальше...

Atmosphere kimono / Oasis jeans / Franco Sarto shoes I might be the only one of the people in my life who does not dread Mondays or the whole work week, but, I'm not. When I reflect I realize that I don't recall my mother being negative about going to work. She enjoyed many aspects of her work in education and I may have imbibed her spirit. I don't know ...

The flavour is of brown sugar, dark fruits, orange, cherries, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, oak, medium bitterness and an overall sweet finish. The alcohol content comes in at 7.4%.

I have always loved the sound of church bells. In the olden days when I was a child, we often heard some kind of bell from towers and steeples. We even heard the organs.

No more. Not so much.

One reason is the cost. Steeples and towers and bells require a financial investment to maintain them that is often cost-prohibitive today. Additionally, there aren't many men going into the profession of steeplejack these days.

I love perfume.If you read this feature regularly you already know that. Growing up, my late Grandmother OC lived in Avon perfumes. No offense to OC, but, that experience taught me, perfume is something worth spending some serious money on.

He was never comfortable in my presence. And in fact, he was unaware about the magic of warmth. Probably when I was there around him, he was not able to boast high about his fake achievements. Though his friends knew well about all the reality but still they would never deny what he would say. The only reason was Ravi’s pocket money. Ravi is my first cousin. His father and my father are brothers. Though both have a difference of 10 years in age, but Ravi is just a couple of years younger to me. Читать дальше...

I'm reading Lillian Boxfish now. Most of you know my family is from NYC, my mother still lives in the city.  I can imagine my father's mother telling her story while taking a stroll. She was a storyteller.  I'm enjoying this book, listening while walking the dogs.

When people usually see decorative concrete flooring, they are stunned by its aesthetically pleasing appearance and how it complements the entire room as well.

Over the weekend, Zach, Lily and myself went over to a friend's house to watch the Falcons play. Our friends have an incredible backyard with a large patio with a roof, fireplace and large screen TV outside. During the game, we began to get hit with a lot of rain and wind which didn't stop any of us from getting cozy on their big couch with blankets, heaters and the roaring fire.

My toddler on the other hand thought it was the best idea to jump in ...
