Gigi’s Meanderings Around the Web #8

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Gigi in Web 1 Comment

My life is finally settling down a bit, and I will be able to post regularly. I am realizing the older I get, the faster time goes by. Tonight we celebrated my husband’s birthday with some dear friends, btw his birthday was January 7 it took almost 5 months to make it happen. I question are we really that busy? I decided moving forward I am going to make time to do the simple nothings that I enjoy ie. make raw vegan ice cream, curl up with a good book, pull out my knitting, work in my garden, work on my blog and just take time and slow way down.

I love perusing around the web checking out interesting tidbits. A little of what I discovered so far this week. I love Luther Vandross and miss him so much. I was amazed when I came across this sweet boy.

Yes. A public school goes all VEGETARIAN! My husband is 7th Day Adventist and attended Adventist schools which were all vegetarian. This is major. Check it out here.

Do you meditate? I have never sat down formally and done “it”, but I want to start.

Love this bike rack …

Not sure if I would like this, interesting combo though.

Nice teen activity.

Interesting article, especially if you are a parent. “He could be my son”

I’m a Scandal fan, but I know this show is popular as well “Downtown Abby” I may have to check it out.

I am a beauty junkie. I have so many products a person could go in my bathroom and come out with a new identity. I love hair products, skin care, make up etc.. I have been reading about BB creams and CC creams, but after this article perhaps it is not something that would work for me.

One more thing take a moment and think about the things that really matter to you.

XOXO,

GIGI

Happy Monday. It is unseasonably cold in southern California, and this sudden shift has interrupted my system and I am battling a “cold”. So while resting, I meandered around the web today.

So Beyonce will perform with Destiny’s Child at the Super Bowl half time show. So I thought about what is my all time favorite Destiny’s Child song? So of course after going down memory music video lane it is:

I noticed that after I workout, especially outdoors, my mind is so open and creative. Check out this article about “taking a hike” to boost your creativity. I need to make a morning hike part of my standard routine, like brushing my teeth.

We have a set of 5 year-old identical twin nieces in the family, every time I see them they are dressed aliked. I read an article in the LA Times about the well-dressed Brown twins of San francisco, Vivian and Marian had a passion for fashion and were always spotted around town posing for pictures with tourists.

Vivian Brown, 85, passed away Wednesday leaving behind her sister Marian. Read the article here.

I love the illusion that photography has the ability to create. While at The Grove there was this nice background set up and of course we could not miss this photo op.

Of course by the time I uploaded this to FB, I got a few calls asking me about my whereabouts…

Do I have the flu or just a cold, find out here what the difference is and when to go to the doctor.

Love this little girl, and love the movie.

Happy Monday, take a hike…:)

Xoxo,

Gigi

Just a Little of This and That…

I found this to be interesting–Plus-Size Lingerie Photo Shoot. Is this Plus Size? Really?

Love this! Spent a lot of time taking classes at UCLA Interior Design Program, can relate to this big time.

I have always loved fashion magazines. I grew up marveling at Beverly Johnson and Iman on the glossy pages of Vogue, Glamour, Harpers etc. I love seeing how they have both are representing in their 50’s. I too like Iman still love my heels…just her out on this clip.

After organizing my holiday decorations from last years haphazard packing…I am looking for any tips to help me avoid this problem next year. Storing lights in a ball.

I need one of these. I was reading about how hard dry cleaning is on clothes.

This is a nice gift for the special guys on your list.

Man Can 49.95

Get it here.

How cute is this. I miss taking my kids to the zoo.

I want one of these too.

handset phone 30.

Available at Nordstrom.

Found this interesting, Reggie is an opthamologist and he is always sharing with me how much you can tell about a person’s state of being by looking into their eyes.

Well I need to finish my holiday decor so enjoy your Thursday.

A Little Peek At My Holiday Cheer

Just a little of this and little of that from around the web.

Confession-my friends and I back in college memorized many of Richard Pryor’s jokes. Happy Birthday Richard Pryor.

I love LBD’s…Check out this selection, I think I need to add to mine.

Many years ago Reggie and I did this. I’m going to do it again this holiday-the fragrance is incredible.

I love dinner parties, but could they soon become a relic from the past? What do you think about this piece?

This is amazing!

Last night went to the movies and saw SkyFall–loved it. This would make a nice gift for a Bond fan.

I am really getting into instagram. This is something I am going to do.

Always looking for something interesting to see.

This is nice. I still enjoy snail mail.

Do these scream holiday or what?

Happy Monday,

Xoxo,

Gigi
