Owner/Designer for R U Whimsy?

A little about me, Ashley Brown- Owner/Designer for R U Whimsy ? jewelry design.  My fascination with jewelry began when I was a child...  My sister Paige and I would spend hours rummaging through our Grandma Brown's jewelry drawers, every piece was a treasure in our eyes, this fascination continued to deepen.  I would often admire pieces in fashion magazines and ponder the construction, elements, stones.  October 2004, I spotted a turquoise Chanel belt, I NEEDED it, however the cost was $4500.  I studied the piece and the next thing I knew, "voila", my version of the Chanel belt I now had.  Since that day in 2004, R U Whimsy? has grown into an amazing, unique, cutting edge jewelry design business with the goal of bringing the Runway, Couture designs to women everywhere at an affordable price.

Five Fabulous BEAUTY tips

• Your nail polish will always be smooth and easy to apply if you store it in the refrigerator. Frosted nail polish will not separate. However, if it has hardened or is gummy, place the bottle in a pan of boiling water. The polish will be like new.

• Raw potato slices contain potassium that help take away dark circles under the eye.

• To lighten age spots and sun-damaged skin, mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Gently massage into each spot. Use at least once a week.

• Do you need a quick glow to your skin and all over healthier look? Bend over at the waist, as far as you can possibly go, and hold to the count of thirty.

• For cellulite, scrub the skin with a bristle brush or loofah. Brush in slow sweeps, always toward the heart. There are gloves and mitts available to do this, but they're not necessary. Try to do this at least five minutes every day.

DOGgone FASHION

Leisure ware for dogs

I was looking for fashionably warm clothes for Kiki.  Who just recently got her summer hair cut and has been freezing ever since.  Freezing in California? I know... it's ridiculous.  None the less, I think I've found something even more ridiculous.  Leisure ware for pets.  When I saw these pants, I absolutely cracked up.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good fashion statement... but this one took the cake.  In case you're interested you can buy these soft velour sweatpants, with double pockets and an elasticized velcro waistband at doggievogue.com. ~April
