Ladies, Bring out your inner diva

by

Are you a Diva or are you a Diva wanna be?

No I’m not talking about the type of woman who thinks everyone should kiss her feet, and throws tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. No. I’m talking about stylish women who keep up with the latest trends in fashion, who want to know where to find the newest designs and accessories and often know just what fashion trend is about to hit.

By reading The Diva’s Dreams by Belisi blog you can certainly be well on your way to becoming a trendsetting Diva. The blog is full of information about hot designers, styles that are making a comeback, as well as articles about food and wine, interior design and entertaining. It covers everything that you might want to know in an easy to read manner. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this new Belisi site.






A better way to share and manage photos

by

I’ve just come cross a site that is a combination of a photo management and storage website as well as a social network. The site is called Pixamo and it’s located at www.pixamo.com. The site sounds like it’s not only a great way to manage your photos but also a way to connect with friends, and meet people who share common interests.


Membership with Pixamo is free at this time, although they might create paid accounts at some point in the future.

What I like about the site is that if offers complete control over your photographs- who sees them – only you?, friends? or everyone?

Oh and their tagging system. Pixamo strongly encourages it’s members to tag photos with keywords that describe the photo, in that way, photos are grouped together by their tags rather than having folder upon folder of photos that may or may not go together.

For example. If I upload a number of photos – some of Toronto’s lovely beach, some of the flowers and plants in my garden and others that were of my family, if I tagged them appropriately I’d be able to simply click on the keyword flower, or garden and every photo that I’ve tagged with the keyword photo or garden would come up for me to view. I really like using a simple method like this to find and sort my photographs.

If you’ve marked your photos for public viewing other members of Pixamo can find both you and your photos when they search the site. You might make new friends when you discover others with common interests such as gardening.

So, if you are like me and have a lot of photographs stored on your computer, why not upload them onto Pixamo and share some of them with others who might be interested in seeing your photos?

Save the Snowman

Suicidal Snowman

This poor snowman. He’s so confused. He thought he’d never come to life this year since it’s been unseasonably warm and one of the key factors needed to bring him to life was absent. That’s right- there was no snow.

This past Monday the snowman was born, but there still isn’t all that much snow. Even worse there are no snow women. None at all!

Poor guy. He spent all of December and half of January just waiting to come to life and start a small snowman family, but without a Mrs. Snowman his dreams have been crushed.

Does anyone know of a mailorder snow woman agency? He needs love. Lets save him before he melts and hangs himself as he slids off th bench.
