LIFE NTERTWINED

Pictures speak louder than words. However, I'm still speechless. They had a dozen seating rooms and many eateries and shopping within the resorts. The views from the different windows from within the hotel and the hallways near the elevators were beautiful. Especially at night. I was told by the hotel hospitality team that the length of the hotel was about two city blocks. No wonder it took me forever each night to walk to the ice machine. Here's my thought...the should rent segways or scooters for that. :)       The Ovation Hall has been graced with the presence of Beyonce and Kanye West. While I was there they were selling tickets for Rhianna and Alicia Keys. Before I can bat an eye they were sold out. Fooey! Enjoy the photos.

Other than staying at Mohegan, one can enjoy walking the two story strip mall attached. Also, one can enjoy the casino floor with all its splendor. Though, luck must be on your side. So, if you are staying away from the Venus flytraps we call 'slot machinees' you can venture out to many eateries. To name a few...Johnny Rockets, Ben &Jerry's, Dylan's Candy Shop.. Okay, so I skip right to the junk food. Yes, I love to ruin my dinner. Here are a few shots in ny travels.

Art is not just about painting or sketching. We all know it is anything that is visually stimulating. I'm a person who enjoys all spectrums of medium. I have a separate folder within my personal site for just jewelry. Searching for different styles of jewelry can be a long and never-ending journey. As far as sites travelled, I can say that I have only been to my background (figure of speech). Well, it's nice to know that it is very colorful in my own background. I am saturated with anticipation to discover other pieces to capture. However, they must jump out at me in such a way that puts me in awe! Okay, so I have my knapsack packed. Arrivederci!! Jewelry Ahoy!

Look at my son's work. For the class assignment, he constructed a dinosaur, uhem.....a Brachiosauros. Well instead if using standard paint, he thought it would be better as a painting/elementary macaroni project. (All smiles). Yes, indeed, I encourage his creativity and originality. Children are like sponges, they watch you hard at work with your very own passions and decide if they like it, too. It is an actually pretty well designed depiction of a Brachiosauros. Kudos to you for being a clever second grader.

It's a snowy Tuesday morning in January. I stopped by my homespace, Mikki's, house. I was anxiously anticipating my ceremonial breakfast. It has been a wonderful tradition for several years. Hey, my motto....why make breakfast yourself when someone else can make it. I'm just kidding. I'm being a wiseguy. Oh, and if you have a kindle fire, place that on the table to listen to some sweet jazz, like Brian Culbertson. Wow!

Hi. Inspired by Semi-cooking expert,Sandra Lee, and after many YouTube videos, my son and I have made an attempt to make a cake like professionals make. I am not an expert in baking but I can surely say that I am very pleased with the results. We used. Betty Crocker's Supermoist yellow cake mix, which called for 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and one cup of water. Once done, we used Hershey's milk chocolate icing.      The purpose of making this cake was for a friend's birthday. So, working from scratch was not ideal since I wanted her to actually eat the cake. Besides, the fancy mixers and creams professionals use on tv was absent. The other reason was that it was a learning experience my son and myself. I was curious on how bakers made their cakes completely round. My cakes tend to come out bevel or lopsided. The mystery behind it was that they used a turning cake pedestal and I didn't. I did not have one and was well into the cake making process to stop then r...

I'm really digging the way this model painted her eyes. This is going on my list if things to do. This eyeshot was noticed in Oprah Winfrey's 'O' Magazine- Holiday Issue. Yep, I was back in the dentist and looked through the magazine again. I can't help it. It was so colorful and it took my mind off of what was coming up (the dentist's drill gun) Aaargh!! I have to do some eyeliner shopping. Eyeliner makeup is the most used tool in facial design for me. I do not use any foundation since it feels like it clogs my pours. I'm sure there are products that are light and airy to use. This is where you come in! You can drop a line to recommend products. I am usually an eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lip balm type of girl. Colors make me smile.
