When I was a child, there are many things I had hoped to become when I grow up. Two of those were to design my would be daughter's dresses and to design the would be home of my would be family. These happened to some extent but not fully. I was able to make my daughter a peach dress for a friend's wedding this year. There aren't so many dresses around here for that color and I probably would have paid about 120€ if I ever found one. Interior-wise, I was also able to design our humble abode somehow. Though I would have wanted something simpler yet sophisticated. I may not have lived those dreams of mine but I take great inspiration from one who did. It's no other than Japanese fashion ...

Fashion Comeback 1: Jumpsuits
Elvis Presley, the Brady Bunch, and the Swedish pop group ABBA are celebrity names that come to mind when we talk about jumpsuits in the 60s and the 70s.

Pain could be felt on the neck, upper back, lower back, even the legs and feet. Hubby, a graphic designer, spends most of his time in front of the computer with his back not really resting on the chair. This leads inevitably to a recurring form of minor back pain (http://www.totalback.com/). He would complain about this at night and I would ...
Pink Zest’s Fanpage
Finally made a fanpage for Pink Zest! Though I have barely been updating and I really have not posted so much about anything pink, this page is still called that! There are barely 10 followers as of typing so I would really appreciate some love! Thanks in advance, I'll definitely return the favor! Why do girls love pink? May not be all girls but most of us do and there are a number of reasons why. 1. Pink is pretty. Admit it, when a person wears pink, there's definitely something cute in her (or him) that you'll find. No matter the size. :) 2. Pink is innocent. Pink attaches so much of itself to baby girls and baby girls are the cutest, little, innocent people there are. 3. Cherry ...
