I just purchased The Luminese Air system.  I am looking forward to the product arriving so I can try it and do a product review on here.  The Luminese Air System is not cheap but promises to give optimum results and guarantees to deliver coverage like to other conventional foundation out on the market today.  We'll see....

History. Primitive Man Wore Jewlery too?? Who knew!

As I was researching on the web for further ideas on upcoming pieces I came across an interesting article on the origins of jewelry design.  As I began to immerse myelf in the article I learned that from the very beginning the human connection between modern civilization and ancient  primitive (wo)man can be found in jewelry....yes jewelry!

The article goes on to talk about language or lack thereof, you see, before man could speak there was jewelry, and it took on a form of symbolism.  Jewelry design provided a forum for (wo)man to express oneself much like many of us do today.  When I find myself in a happier uplifted mood I am more likely to wear outstanding bold pieces  such a thick drapping earrings or a long draping necklace with a variety of charm, whereas a down day you won't catch me wearing my large and loud earrings, instead I would more likely be seen with dainty pearl studs.   Thus it dawned on me, jewelry like many things we have evolved with has indeed become an extension of ourselves and by no coincidence.  This can be seen as an innate habit that we as a civilization have brought with us over hundreds even thousands of years.  Jewelry really is an important part of who we are which has helped to explain why I am so drawn to the design, development and creation of my pieces.  This article helped reinforce my appreciation of how a small object can be transformed  to represent art and its ability to act as a small window into the soul, in the past, present and future.

Here is the link to the site where the history of jewelry design is explored further.  Enjoy!

Its Gold for Canada

Today is a very happy family day and great news has hit the airways....Canada has won gold on home soil for the first time in history and the honor could not have gone to a better person.  Alex Bilodeau, has made Canada proud and has dedicated his gold medal to his brother who is special needs.  Since having a child with special needs in the family is near and dear to me Alex has become that much more inspiring. Here is link to learn more about our new Canadian hero. http://www.publicationsports.com/profile_view.php?id=2769

Last night was the first time I attended a party in the downtown Toronto scene since my accident in August.  I stopped by Lobby and  I have to say some things don't change, like the women standing aimlessly around the tables of the men that have bottle service, busting out into spurts of dance to garner attention from men that crave to be "seen".  Other things like fashion and accessories have changed since my last appearance on the scene. It seems that chunky jewelery has crawled into mainstream fashion.  Like the men that respond to women vying for attention I too have responded by taking a new turn to my designs in response to the trend jewelry has taken.  Catch a glimpse of these on the upcoming VIDA GLAM site currently under construction.  Until next time.

Welcome

Hello! First and foremost thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read. This week has been very exciting. I finally found a web designer based in Anaheim, California who I will be working closely with to develop the Vida Glam website to launch by April 19th. I have to say a BIG Thank you to Angela Vargas for all her hard work and efforts on the Logo design. She is a genius! If anyone is looking for an experienced graphic designer look no further. Contact me and I can provide you with her digits or e mail.

The Vida Glam pre-holiday launch party in December was great and I'd like to thank all my close friends for attending and providing some valuable feedback.

I have put a pause on creating new pieces since my current inventory is growing a rate faster than I anticipated. This website will help to finally showcase the art I have been working on since my accident.

It will be exciting to finally have a forum to share the pieces with everyone. Stay tuned as I will be announcing the official date of website launch here on my blog.

There is one bit of news I would like to share with you on the glamour front; for those of you looking for a new soft scent, one that won't over power and be offensive to others I suggest Look by Vera Wang. I was introduced to this scent by chance this weekend and I was so pleased with it I decided this must be my next perfume purchase. It represents style, desire, fashion and in my opinion all positive energy. It introduces notes of mandarin, watery greens, litchi and golden delicious apple. It incorporates lily, freesia and jasmine, while also introducing a combination of sweet vanilla, musk, oak moss and patchouli. It is simply delicious and a must have for those who thrive on making a subtle but lasting impression.

Thats all!
