Stopped by Ulta’s Galleria store this afternoon to pick up a couple of lipsticks, brushes, and fragrances and ran across this breathtakingly fresh scent. The description on the website is spot on: “Clean delivers that fresh out the shower smell. The scent features bright citrus notes of grapefruit, orange, and bergamot followed by floral notes of lavender, jasmine, freesia, violet and rose. The scent closes on sensual note of white musk.” And as if that wasn’t enough, I jumped on Ulta’s site and found that there is also a matching body lotion, so now I can double my pleasure. OMG, I can’t stand it! Definitely going back tomorrow for the lotion, no doubt!
This image was taken this morning with my poor little Nokia 6085 mobile phone (rockin’ my Muslem-esque look). Sent it to a friend, via text message. He liked it, so I posted it. Image quality is ridiculous! Now, if this isn’t grounds for an iPhone 3GS, I don’t know what is! Nuff said. Stay tuned…

My heart is so heavy with grief at the moment…there are no words.
Rest in peace, dear brother Michael. I will always love you!

I figured out what to do with part of my day. More selective focusing in manual mode. The sweltering mid-90s temperatures of late have pretty much provided the death nail to any ideas I had of shooting outdoors. Perhaps one of these days after sunset. So, I decided to just take random shots of things around my place. I’ve always been partial to black and white photography and since the handbag and shoes are both originally black, I figured they would make good B&W subjects. I threw in the jewel box simply because it’s one of my favourite things.

From the comfort of my cool, peaceful surroundings my gaze is fixed in amazement on the picturesque view of a shimmering sun accentuating sleepy clouds wafting through endless azure as if they are fully aware of themselves and their beauty, giving thanks to God for their very existence. A deceptively inviting image, indeed, cleverly concealing the reality of 94 sweltering degrees, accompanied by a breathtaking heat index of 100 that unquestionably negates all chances of my enjoying any type of outdoor activity before sunset.
So, I sit here on this visually beautiful Sunday afternoon relaxing to soulfully jazzy eargasms, enjoying frosty frappuccinos, mocha no less, as I contemplate how best to appreciate the remainder of this aesthetically appealing day and remain comfortable in the process. Less-than-desirable temperatures notwithstanding, I am truly grateful to be alive on yet another awesome day the Lord has made.
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. It’s your day. Enjoy it!

It’s hard to believe she’s been gone nearly eight years. She would be 30 now.
