I love romantic, feminine hairstyles from times past, and this simple Renaissance hair style tutorial is super pretty. It’s a beautiful braided updo using a reverse S braid technique, and can make any woman with a few moments to spare into a Renaissance beauty. You need to be able to make a french braid or […]
What architects came up with these amazing buildings? I bet they are lots of fun to hang out with!
I so would live in a book house if I could!
I actually think I know where that Ripley’s that’s upside down is! So random!
Check out Frank Gehry if you really want vertigo! The Disney Concert Hall in LA is amazing.
Wow, those are definitely some amazing buildings! My fave is the last one.
After 10 ways to organize with shoeboxes, there’s no place to go but to the rest of the house, finding ways to reuse other items to organize your home. Whether you keep them for sentimental reasons or because they are so pretty, you just can’t let them go of those decorative china trays and crystal […]
I love using bowls for the little things that don’t have a place.
Love the paper towel roll ideas… very clever. I’m a new follower 🙂
Great tips! I have bowls, baskets, and various other containers all over my house. I like everything in its place.
Very good ideas! I like the empty roll of paper towels for the bags!!
Love the paper towel ideas! I use my grandma’s carnival glass bowls for odds and ends in the kitchen. Better than tucked away.

You’re way more organize than I’ll ever be. I’m trying though.
Great tips. I love the one about storing the candles in the rolls. I’m going to have to try that with my candles. Thanks for the tips.
Oooh I love wrapping the Christmas lights around one!! I’m gonna have to do that this Christmas. Thanks for all of the great tips.
I agree, those little bowls can be so useful!
Very creative! I hadn’t thought of some of these.
Great idea with the tapered candles!
You have some great ideas. Thank you for helping me get a little bit more organized.
I like the last one and the one about shoes!
No one could compare to her beauty.
She was such an amazing beauty! Glad I discovered your blog today!
She was not only a great beauty, she was very talented & intelligent…. too bad she was sooo insecure! The world just “eats up” these fragile, amazing people!
What a variety of quotes! She sure covered a lot of topics!
That last one is my favorite as well 🙂
Kas
She was so wise!
I love those! She was quite a lady, wasn’t she?!?
Awesome quotes! She was absolutely stunning!
The one about being two faced is hilarious. But I think the one about fear and regrets is the one I really need to take to heart.
hey! i like this post! good stuff here. :]
Love it!
Those are pretty great!
I love Marilyn.
Love it!!
Interesting quotes. I never heard of any of these before. Thanks for sharing/posting them.
She was/is quite the icon! Beautiful pictures.
Did I ever tell you I used to have the same dimensions of Marilyn in college, before I had all those health problems? I relished having a 50s figure in a university of 0s and 2s!
Me too! I do now! No one ever cares,, lol but it makes me feel supercool, since she’s my idol for feminine beauty. I love retro beauty and femininity.
Great quotes! I always find quotes by her so unique and interesting.
i have the “who said nights were for sleep” tattooed
🙂
That is awesome!
Some of her quotes are really shallow but I would definitely agree with this one:
“If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never had got anywhere”
Simply said, rules are made to be broken!
I found these mind blowing photos of Marilyn Monroe on this genealogy website, worth checking out the album.
i love these Marilyn Monroe pics
beautiful woman
i love her
her quotes are so true and deep!!!
Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. – Raymond Lindquist The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. – Nelson Mandela How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. – Anne Frank We must […]
I like the MLF one! Awesome!
I like the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
Great quotes, thanks for sharing them!
The Lao Tzu quote was my high school class’s motto! I love it! Those are all really great ones. I really like the Anne Frank one!
Beautiful picture.
A great collection of inspirational quotes!

I love this hairstyle. It also a great way to get your hair up off your neck on these hot summer days.
Gorgeous!! And you have such pretty hair to start!
How on earth do you do that to yourself?? I would have a horrible time, but would absolutely LOVE to be able to do that! that is so pretty!!
I so wish I knew how to French braid my own hair.
Such a pretty and unique style! I can’t even make a french braid so unfortunately I won’t be able to do this one.
Wow, that is gorgeous! Very romantic. I can’t wait until my hair grows outs.
This is FANTASTIC! I’m bookmarking this and will try and convince my daughter she wants it for formal night on our cruise….LOL I can live vicariously through her since my hair isn’t long enough!
I love that, I just don’t have the patience!
Your hair is gorgeous! I LOVE the romantic look!
I just had my hair cut super short and am kicking myself after seeing these photos!
Taht was cool the way you did the pictures. I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. Very sexy hairstyle. You’re talented!
OMG — that is super cute! Totally wish I could do that with my hair.
This is so pretty! I cannot wait for my hair to get a tad bit longer!
This is so pretty – I’ve never done a French braid, but I Googled the directions and I’m going to give it a try. Wish me luck, haha!
Very cute Hairstyle. Perfect for these hot days.

I could never do this myself. hmmmm, I wonder if I could persuade my hubby to do it for me?

Looks great. I would make a total mess of the whole thing though…lol.
That is so cute!! I wish I could do that.
That is so pretty. I wish my hair was longer!
Hmmmm …. wonder if I could pull this off with my hair? It’s a lot shorter than yours. I may have to give it a go tomorrow!
That is amazing! I get frustrated trying to do just a regular French braid.
