Gillan is a rock band closely associated with but not directly arising from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, formed in 1978 by Ian Gillan and Colin Towns in the UK. In 1978 Ian Gillan had become dissatisfied with the jazz fusion style of his band called Ian Gillan Band and dissolved it, retaining only keyboard player Colin Towns, and formed a new band entitled Gillan.

In 1978 Ian Gillan had become dissatisfied with the jazz fusion style of his band called Ian Gillan Band and dissolved it, retaining only keyboard player Colin Towns, and formed a new band entitled Gillan. He added Steve Byrd on guitar, Liam Glenocky on drums and John McCoy (ex-Zzebra) on bass, and initially pursued a progressive rock direction, releasing their eponymous debut in 1978, although they could only get a record deal in Japan. This recording has subsequently become more widely available as The Japanese Album.
The album was sufficiently successful to attract more attention and in 1979 the band secured a European deal with Acrobat Records. Before a new album was recorded, Byrd was replaced by Bernie Torm? and Glenocky by Mick Underwood, Ian Gillan's former colleague in Episode Six. Torme's "screaming guitar" sound fundamentally altered the dynamics and Gillan took a heavy metal direction. This lineup's first album was released as Mr. Universe and contained many re-worked songs from The Japanese Album. The band caught the rise of the NWOBHM at just the right time and the group gained popularity in Europe. At Christmas Gillan turned down an offer from Ritchie Blackmore to join Rainbow, but Blackmore did make a "legendary" guest appearance for Gillan at their Christmas show. It was the first time Ian Gillan and Blackmore had performed together since 1973.
In 1980 Gillan reached the peak of their success, releasing the successful Glory Road album with the limited edition "free" LP For Gillan Fans Only. However the band remained unknown in North America and were unable to raise any interest there despite tours.
By 1981 the band members were becoming disgruntled that their European and Japanese success was not translating into increased pay, and after the Future Shock album tour, Torme walked out just before the band were due to appear on Top of the Pops. He was replaced by White Spirit guitarist Janick Gers and this line up releaed the live/studio combi double album Double Trouble at the end of the year. In 1982 final album Magic followed. By this time, tension over money had reached fever-pitch and Ian Gillan needed time to have nodes removed from his vocal chords. He also received and accepted an offer to replace Ronnie James Dio in Black Sabbath. After the Magic tour Ian Gillan dissolved the band to the incredulity of the other members, particularly McCoy, and the acrimony remained into the 21st century.
McCoy subsequently released compilations of studio out-takes to which he had the rights, beginning with Gillan Tapes, Vol. 1, and ensured that revenues were distributed fairly amongst the band.

The 2008 White Frontignac ($15.50) had a touch of sweetness without being cloying, much like the Gewurztraminers we'd tried in Clare, and was another wine that would go well with spicier dishes.
Moving on to the red side of things, the 2008 Alicante Bouchet is a lovely light summer red, an almost ideal Rose style without any sweetness. One to chill and chill out over while nibbling on a Christmas/New Year lunch. One of my first acts on returning home was to order a case.
The 2004 Moppa Springs (47% Grenache, 40% Mataro 13% Shiraz $23.50) was nicely complex with a fantastic rounded mouth-feel and a joy to swirl slowly around the palate. One to savour.
The 2005 Rod & Spur ($29.50), named for the traditional pruning method, was a huge wine that took absolutely no prisoners but was surprisingly mild for its size.
The 2005 Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon was another big, full-bodied style with real Cabernet character, enormous and earthy but still mild with it. Fantastic.
It isn't usually available for tasting, but there was an opened bottle of the 2001 Shiraz VP ($62.50), so we had a chance to try a stunning wine that should last for years. One to buy and lay down for a 50th birthday (assuming you have offspring born in 2001) or, maybe those of us born in '51 might think about laying one down if we're confident of making it to the century mark.

The island of Zante is well known for its beaches. There are plenty of beaches to appeal to everyone: from unspoilt beaches, to beaches with water sports, secluded beaches - the list is endless. Many of the beaches in the south of the island (such as Gerakas & Sekania) are also breeding grounds of the endangered Caretta Caretta turtles, which lay their eggs in the soft sand and the baby turtles hatch about 8 weeks later.
From some of the beaches on the island it is possible to take boat trips to see the turtles. The most well known beach from which to do this is Laganas beach. It is a favorite trip for many tourists as it offers a unique experience to see such ancient and majestic creatures swimming gracefully in the calm waters of the Ionian Sea. The best known beach on Zakynthos is Navajo, also known as Shipwreck beach or Smuggler's cove - it is breathtakingly beautiful; any visit to Zante is not complete without seeing this beach.
Tsilivi, Argassi and Alykanas beaches are great for water sports with a wide range on offer. Diving, snorkeling and scuba diving are also popular on the island and Agios Nikolaos beach has the best reputation for scuba diving on the island.
At Keri Lake there is a popular diving school and from here it is also possible to visit some nearby blue caves.
Many of Zante's beaches are excellent for families and safe for young children and swimmers of any level (as the water is shallow) - with tourist's favorites being Alykes, Tsilivi and Argassi. For those that prefer uncrowded beaches you might like to visit: Amoudi, Dafni & Makris Gialos to name just a few. Anyone who feels like they need a bit of pampering or relief from aches should go and swim at Xigia beach, as the water has a high Sulphur content and is renowned for having healing properties. For unique and unspoilt places to swim try Limnionas and Porto Roxa.
Zante is definitely a beach lover's paradise, with such a wide variety of beaches on offer.
Please browse through the list of beaches for a more thorough description, to find the one you think will suit your needs or why not make a list of all the beaches you fancy visiting?!

Trump's Sinclair tweet gives FCC chief air of independence
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has struggled for over a year to distance himself from President Trump. On Tuesday night, the President did it for him over Sinclair Broadcast Group's ill-fated merger.
Why it matters: Pai gave himself some political cover by moving to block Sinclair's politically contentious acquisition of Tribune stations — especially after Trump tweeted the decision was "disgraceful."
What they're saying: Pai and his allies used the moment to assert his independence from the White House.
- "Congressman, I stand by our decision," he told top House Energy and Commerce Committee Democrat Frank Pallone at a Wednesday hearing, adding later, "We've already issued the hearing designation order and my understanding is that it is now within the purview of the administration law judge under our rules."
- "For every transaction that is before me I will look at the facts, I will apply the law and I will reach the judgement that is in the public interest," he said. "Nothing more, nothing less."
"Hey people who said @AjitPaiFCC doesn't have a spine where you at?" tweeted Ashkhen Kazaryan, a fellow at TechFreedom, a group that is supportive of Pai's agenda.
Context: The FCC is an independent agency. Still, Pai has struggled to push back on the administration. For example:
- Pai stumbled when asked about Trump's comments that some media outlets are the "enemy of the American people."
- Later last year, he took a noticeably long time to respond directly to a Trump tweet threatening the broadcast licenses of NBC, whose coverage he doesn't like.
The big picture: While many media mergers draw attention, the Sinclair deal became a unique political nightmare for the FCC. Democrats hammered the agency for appearing poised to allow a deal that would vastly expand the reach of Sinclair's pro-Trump, must-run content.
- Pai's early media ownership reforms paved the way for the Sinclair deal, raising concerns he was directly aiding the broadcaster. And later decisions at the FCC also helped the broadcasting industry.
- John Oliver's HBO show aired a critical package on the company. In March, a Deadspin compilation of one of those must-run spots — where anchors decried "the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country" — went viral.
- In December, Pai jokingly showed some of Sinclair's "must-run" conservative commentary as part of an annual comedic speech to telecom lawyers.
- Democratic lawmakers triggered an investigation by the FCC's independent watchdog into Pai's relationship with the broadcaster.
Pai's decision to put up major hurdles for the Sinclair-Tribune deal has united him with some of his harshest critics. "Free Press hasn't seen eye to eye with Chairman Pai since he took over the FCC. But today's announcement is unequivocally the right thing to do under the law," said Matt Wood, the policy director of the public interest group, after Pai announced he would send the Sinclair deal to a judge.
The other side: The Sinclair situation doesn't change the deregulatory direction of his agenda at the commission.
"While the Commission rightfully acknowledged that Sinclair's proposed merger and related divestiture may violate the law," Pallone said at Wednesday's hearing, "the rollback of the media ownership rules opens the door for the next Sinclair."

No milk was wasted during this photoshoot...but reused to make a delicious latte!
So I decided there has to be a better way to freeze milk in smaller batches. Then one day, I was looking at my cupcake pan and realized that would be perfect! So I froze milk in my cupcake pans. Now you can also freeze it in ice cube trays. I did that before when I was nursing, but if you want a little bit more at once then the cupcake pans hold a little more. I measured to see what the difference was, and ice cube trays hold about 1/8 cup, whereas the cupcake pans could hold between 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of milk, depending on how much space you want left in the rim.
1/3 cup of milk
1/4 cup of milk
Ok so I also said I' share some recipes that I found to use up that milk. One of our favorites was making muffins.
This is our go to recipe for making muffins. If you are familiar with Malt o Meal, they have a muffin recipe printed on the side of their box. It really does make good muffins plus it calls for 3/4 cup of milk. So if you froze your milk as 1/4 cups in the muffin pans, it'd be easy to use.
When I was looking up muffin recipes I found this one on Pinterest and we really liked it. We did just make 12 regular sized muffins instead of the 6 jumbo ones, but I didn't have to do anything different, the recipe worked as is I just divided the batter into 12 muffins. This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk. So again if you go with the 1/4 cup it's really easy to just take out 2 frozen milk muffins.
3. Biscuits and gravy.
So I LOVE biscuits and gravy. My mom is from the south and whenever we visited Grandma, she would make homemade biscuits and gravy. It is something that we have continued to do, although I don't make homemade biscuits. (It's something I want to learn though). But, we have biscuits and gravy at least once a month! Making homemade gravy is a perfect way to use up frozen milk, especially when you freeze it in larger quantities.
Ok before I give you our recipe I want to say I'm not going to be able to give you accurate measurements as I don't measure (just like my grandma & mom). BUT, I DO measure the milk and I can give you guidelines for the rest.
Our recipe:
grease from meat you are using (bacon, sausage) (about 1 Tbsp)
flour (about 2 Tbsp)
milk 2 cups
This is what I do for my family of 5, who includes my husband, myself, our 3 girls 7, 5 & 2 1/2.
Now, if you want to make more, you can. When we have other family members over, like aunts and uncles, grandparents etc. I add 1 cup of milk. Then you'd need to add a little more flour and grease as well. More flour the thicker it will get as you let it cook, more milk the thinner it will be. It's totally a preference kind of thing.
Put your measured out milk on the stove before you start. This helps the milk to warm up and not clump. Take the grease that you are using and put in a skillet. Heat to medium and start adding your flour. Mix the grease and the flour together until it's mixed well. Turn the heat down to low. Slowly add the milk to the mixture. Turn the heat up a little and stir. The longer you let it cook the more it will thicken; however, if it doesn't thicken enough, just add a little more flour. Remember more flour = thicker gravy, more milk = thinner gravy. Add the meat you wanted at the end and enjoy! Or go meatless! I don't add any seasonings as I feel the grease is enough seasoning, but you can add some pepper and salt if you so please.

John Plantagenet, duke of Bedford
Our editors will review what you've submitted and determine whether to revise the article.
- Born:
- June 20, 1389
- Died:
- Sept. 14, 1435, Rouen, Fr. (aged 46)
- House / Dynasty:
- house of Plantagenet
- Role In:
- Hundred Years' War
John Plantagenet, duke of Bedford, (born June 20, 1389—died Sept. 14, 1435, Rouen, Fr.), general and statesman who commanded England's army during a critical period in the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) with France. Despite his military and administrative talent, England's position in France had irreversibly deteriorated by the time he died.
The third son of King Henry IV of England (ruled 1399–1413), he was made duke of Bedford by his brother King Henry V in 1414. Between 1415 and 1422 he served as lieutenant of the kingdom three times while Henry was campaigning in France. Bedford helped relieve the besieged city of Harfleur in 1416, and he and the King were both in France at the time of Henry's death in 1422. He then became regent for Henry's son, the infant King Henry VI, and it was agreed that during his absence from England his brother Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, was to take over his duties.
Bedford again turned his attention to the war. By allying with Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, in 1423, he gained control over northwestern France, and he then opened an offensive against the French king, Charles VII. On Aug. 17, 1424, Bedford won an important victory at Verneuil. Nevertheless, throughout this period he had to struggle to maintain the crucial Anglo-Burgundian alliance, which was threatened by hostility between Gloucester and Duke Philip. Furthermore, Bedford was recalled to England in 1426 to arrange a reconciliation between the warring factions led by Gloucester on the one side and the chancellor, Henry Beaufort, on the other.
Returning to France in 1427, Bedford had continual success until he was forced, under pressure from a French army led by Joan of Arc, to raise his siege of Orléans in April 1429. This setback was the turning point of the war. Thereafter, all Bedford's energy and judgment could not keep England's hold on France from weakening. In addition, in 1433 he discovered that his country was rapidly becoming too insolvent to prosecute the conflict. Bedford's death came as Burgundy was in the process of abandoning the English cause and making a separate peace with France.

On a recent visit to Scottsdale to the fairly new Styl Institute (which is also the corporate headquarters of Styling Technology Corp.), NAILS advertising sales rep Michelle Mullen and I treated ourselves to a post-business lunch salon visit. Michelle got a full set of pink and whites put on by Kristine Leonard, director of education, nails, and I got a spa-type pedicure with Erika Luna, who coincidentally does the nails of another publisher at our company. The Styl Institute lives up to its name, with sleek features, hardwood floors that gleam like stainless steel, tiny hanging track lights that give it an industrial feel. The space is wide open, with six hair stations, and a pedicure station, which is situated in a private room with dim lighting. The salon is furnished and stocked with mostly STC products (oh yes, and the pedicure room is equipped with two of those lovely Solace Footspa pedicure chairs that vibrate, whirlpool, and recline).
After a relatively short time doing nails, Erika has soared to the top of her field. She previously worked in a tony Scottsdale salon and was recruited by Styl when the salon opened. Besides serving clients three days a week, she works in the Styling lab three days a week working on product testing and R&D. Since the move to STC, she "couldn't be happier," she said. "I was honored that they knew of me and hired me."
I thought the details of her compensation structure were none of my business, but I did gather that the salon is booth rental, and they have a unique retailing position in that the Styling products are right on site and there's no "middle man" mark-up.
Erika struck me as extremely calm – serene almost. She told me she credited a new vitamin regimen she was on for helping her lose weight and maintain a calm disposition. Naturally, I wanted more information on those two qualities that elude me personally and she gave me a brochure. Her personal and professional philosophy is that beauty works "from the inside out," and she takes extreme care to ensure that her clients leave her chair more relaxed, not just beautified, by the experience.
My favorite part of the visit, chatting with Erika aside, was when she handed me a portable CD player to listen to while my feet enjoyed the paraffin wrap. What a great idea! The client right after me (Erika had only pedicures booked this day) had brought in her own CDs to listen to during her service.
I would think if you worked here, you'd be down in the salon every day or bringing your sack lunch to eat in the pedicure spa, but Paula Malloy, vice president of marketing and product development, says that she's usually too busy to get in that often. Not to mention, the salon stays well-booked with local patrons.
Oh, yeah, Michelle's nails look absolutely fabulous.
Whenever I have a bad day at work, I remember that I get to visit salons and call it "business." Here we are at The Styl Institute (interior, above) after a business lunch. (left to right) Paula Malloy, vice president of marketing and product development; Kristine Leonard, director of education, nails; Michelle Mullen, NAILS advertising sales rep; Erika Luna, nail technician and STC product tester; and me.

I was wandering around the house the other day, trying to remember why I was wandering around the house, when I was startled by a voice rising from the bedroom—a voice rich with righteous indignation, almost thespian in its vigorous projection.
It was my partner's voice, and the sequence of her exclamations played out along these lines: "Whaaat? You gotta be kidding! WTF?!?" I rushed to the bedroom, pleased to be presented with a momentary sense of purpose. Did the cat puke on the bed (again)? Did she discover a stain on the $5 top she bought at Savers?? High-maintenance-mother trouble???
None of the above. She had been betrayed by Facebook.
As she explained it to me, they had taken her profile and melted it down in a crucible of marketing alchemy to produce a series of links and blank spaces where her unique array of preferences and self-descriptors used to be. Granted, my partner's profile does not fit easily into marketing categories, which makes for a lot of blank spaces and some very misleading links. Nevertheless, my initial reaction was sympathy and affirmation. (Learned that strategy in Cosmopolitan.) I shared her outrage at being pigeonholed in such a way (bless her counter-cultural little heart), but it wasn't long before I carefully navigated toward, "What did you expect?"
Let it be known (if it isn't obvious already) that I don't do Facebook, despite countless invitations to join. Every time I read one of those stupid e-mails that say, "So-and-so has invited you to be their friend," I think one of two things: Isn't that person already my friend? Or, that person is not my friend!
Massive trends in popular culture make me nervous, per se—especially when driven by technology—but something about Facebook seems particularly pernicious. It brings to mind an image of hordes of cyber-lemmings happily toppling off some psychological cliff into a deep sea of banal anonymity disguised by a shiny, reflective surface of relevance and fulfillment.
Not only was I not surprised that Facebook had done this; I must confess to feeling a twinge of vindication upon learning that Facebook had, in fact, become Facelessbook.
I asked around among other users in an effort to contextualize my partner's disaffection. Some concurred on the "It's all about money" angle and threatened to cancel their accounts. Some shrugged (but I noted that their lives tended to fit more easily into links). Some launched into breathless testimony on the dangers posed by Facebook's privacy policies, which made me wonder why in the heck they were still using it.
Intrigued, I began to research this confusing "privacy" thing. I had been operating under the impression that there was no longer any such thing in our garishly lit, compulsively modulated, techno-capitalist world.
I quickly fell down the rabbit hole of Facebook privacy wars. My eyes spun with news feeds and mini-feeds, opt-ins vs. opt-outs, protests and lawsuits, terms of use, ACLU, EPIC, EFF and a Scrabble board full of related acronyms. None of it made any sense to me. Isn't Facebook one grand exercise in TMI? Essentially, lifestyle porn? "Look at me! Look at what I'm doing! Isn't it just the coolest danged thing?" Why would anyone presume that the information they are sharing would—or even should—remain private?
Our mass culture subordinates everything—and I mean everything—to the rule of capital. In our culture, it is perfectly fine to shit where you eat, as long as you generate sufficient revenue in the process. How, then, do you disparage a company that censors what you can say or show to your "friends," while turning over everything that you are permitted to divulge about yourself to any shill with a pitch? Seems rather innocuous compared to that ever-growing black blob in the Gulf of Mexico.
But there you have it: Nothing has to make sense anymore. All it has to do is fit neatly into the paradigm of quantity over quality, and it becomes the accepted norm, with few questions asked.
So, go ahead and keep up (if you can) with thousands of photos, statuses, profiles, news feeds, likes, tags and endless snippets of other people's lives, while projecting the details of your own life through the commodifying and censoring lens of Facelessbook. I won't judge you, but don't complain to me when you are betrayed. I'll be sitting on the porch with my (real) friends, watching their faces and listening to their voices while we cackle over scatological jokes about John McCain, concoct fantastic plots and hoot at embarrassing pictures of ourselves skinny-dipping in a mountain stream.

The interior of Bugatti Chiron 2017 is all drenched in carbon fiber, aluminum or fine leather, making it an impeccable blend of sportiness and luxury. The clean and simple cabin doesn't compromises with the modern era touch. There is a wide center stack housed with four horizontally aligned buttons featuring tiny displays on each of the. Behind the three-spoke flat bottom sporty steering wheel we have a newly designed instrument cluster. The integration comprises two smaller gauges and a display on the right side portraying the navigation map. The interior isn't just about these but it also comes with a state-of-the-art sound system and the gorgeous enamel and solid silver made 'Bugatti' emblem. Thus rounding up the interior details of Bugatti Chiron 2017 I'll call it highly luxurious, sportive and drenched in technology that takes it a lap ahead of the rest in market.
The exterior of Bugatti Chiron 2017 keeps the traditional looks with a blend to attract new buyers. The legendary grille sits proudly amidst the LED headlamps which further get connected and create air intakes that will be sending fresh air to the brakes. The angular V Shaped hood gets more aggressive while the lower air intakes get slim to contribute to the aerodynamic performance. Moving towards the side, we have the C shaped curve, defining the rear portion of the sides. Getting to the rear fascia you'll again notice the aerodynamic engineering, like the three-piece intake that has a massive diffuser. There is also a big center mounted outlet, giving the model much needed race spec looks. Thus rounding up the entire exterior details of Bugatti Chiron 2017 I'll call the dual tone finishing and the aerodynamic features adding to looks a remarkable work of engineering and design.
Powering the Bugatti Chiron 2017 is a powerful 8.0 liter W-16 engine cranking total output of 1479 hp peak torque of 1600 nm. With this power the top speed of Bugatti Chiron 2017 touches the mark of 260 mph while the 0-62 mph sprint can be knocked in just 2.5 seconds. Further the model can sprint to 124 mph in less than 6.5 seconds and to 186 mph below 13.6 seconds.

I have this theory, I call it the 'Convergence' theory.
We all know about rip currents. These are strong, localized, narrow currents of water that converge and cut thru lines of breaking waves. These can occur in the sea and in tidal rivers.
At these intersecting points a lot of energy converges which can be quite dangerous.
Typically a swimmer can be pulled about and not be able to reach the shore.
I use this metaphor in allied health practice.
You may feel inertia, stagnation, paralysis with your own patient flow, that of your practice overall or just in general.
You may notice lots going around all around you. A construction next door or nearby; an extra-clinic project; family or sporting commitments; a business network you head up; not to mention the variety of pushes and pulls going on with your team.
This is like having a tidal rip in your practice.
So what would you if you were caught in a rip.
The best way is to swim parallel to the beach or river edge, often towards breaking waves. This may then assist you to get back to shore or the river edge. Or lifeguards recommend floating to conserve energy.
If you have a 'PRACTICE RIP', I recommend the latter. Conserve your energy, and stay still. Don't try and 'DO' rather more 'BE'! Practice 'letting go' and simply sit with the energy for a while. Try not to add unnecessary meaning. It is what it is, nothing more. It doesn't mean you're a poor practitioner or practice owner; or you're not succeeding. Far from it.
Simply observe what's going on around you and take interest. Encourage your team to do the same. 'Isn't it interesting the energy at the moment?'
Your ego will feel composed to take action. Resist. Now is not the time. Conserve your energy and wait for the will of heaven. The universe will guide you and at the right time.
Remember a 'practice rip' concentrates a good deal of energy, and this energy will dissipate. When the times right, you will harness it, and your practice will kick back in.
So your job is to simply recognize this convergence phenomenon, observe it, allow it to be, let it go and wait.
You will know what to do and when.

This week I had the pleasure of hosting Kate Quinn, author of Daughters of Rome, here at Muse in the Fog:
Two Reviews for the week:

I have two delightful giveaways that also went up this week!

I've recently seen a large uptick in visits to my Google Jamboard post, as well as people sharing Jamboard templates and ideas on social media. One person who is particularly creative and prolific in creating Jamboards is @GiftedTawk, and I've been curating as many as I can from her Twitter feed. Whether you are looking for graphic organizers to use with Jamboard (or Padlet, or even Slides) like these from @ergoEDU or mindbending creativity and logic challenges like this pentomino Jamboard from @GiftedTawk, you are sure to find something ready-made for your class in this list. There are also some tips on the list, such as how to embed a Jamboard in Seesaw, and how to "freeze" your background on Jamboard so it doesn't get moved accidentally. A few Halloween Jamboards are in there, just in case you are looking for some last-minute activities for this week. (I've also put them in my "Halloween During a Pandemic" Wakelet.)
For a "live" updated list of Google Jamboard Templates and Ideas, click here. If you have any others that I should add to the list, let me know!

For the fun and flirty girl who wants to add a little sparkle into her life, Guerlain introduces Shine Automatique. This moisturizing and long-lasting lipstick combines bold color with pearly particles to give your lips discreet yet exceptional shine. Lips are left soft, smooth, and luminous.
The lipsticks employ Guerlain's unique and successful Rouge Automatique core formula and tube. The color emerges from the gold tube when you slide a lever, which opens the cap and reveals the color bullet. You can push the lever up only as far as you need to use the lipstick and not break it.
The formula features:
- Sensory oils and waxes with different fusion points that gradually liquify during application, depending on the temperature of your lips - the result is a soft film that becomes one with the skin, offering impeccable coverage that isn't thick or heavy;
- Non-opaque crystal pigments that make it possible to obtain luminous and clear colors, resulting transparent radiance without any whitening or frosty effect;
- Various shimmering pearly particles that boost the lips with exceptional shine.
What do you think? I think this is an exciting launch. I purchased my Shine Automatiques at Neiman Marcus. They are also available at select Sephora, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks locations.

She looks at me with her big and beautiful eyes. My little niece. A small bundle of joy with bouncing curls on her head. Eye lashes so long, they tend to tangle up. An Elf.

Prior to the start of my project, I felt very clearly that I also wanted to have a website with a blog. Even well before the actual build of my own Tiny House. The reason? I came across a lot of sites, blogs and other Tiny House initiatives, but I rarely stumbled into writings on that […]Continue Reading... 4 Comments.

The idea: meeting people during my visit to the Tiny House Jamboree in Colorado Springs to see if I can visit them in their Tiny Houses on my way back. So… I rented a car.

July 29 – August 3 And then the somewhat anxious part of my journey starts: all alone, in my rental car, up North to the Tiny House Jamboree. From El Paso, Texas to Santa Fe, New Mexico to Golden, Colorado via US Highway 285. Driving, driving and more driving. And camping in the wild (yep, […]Continue Reading... 2 Comments.
July 22 – July 28 54 hours. Fifty four hours. From door to door. A nodding head from time to time in the airplane or the bus, but more than that? No. No sleep. Next: to stumble into a bright, sunny and dry sauna filled with cacti. A hair dryer, straight into my face. And […]Continue Reading... No Comments.
