January THE IMPULSE

JANVIER

for some there comes an impulse irresistible

"So it’s here sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, as the sun goes down, that I send you my best wishes for the new year. The future will tell us whether or not I become a pro surfer, but in the meantime, I’m putting my whole heart and sense of humor into it, and the little bit of humility I can muster up, to get through learning a new art, which is always so difficult."

an expensive and possibly exhausting impulse but
still a thrill

everyone in the store is wanting to pick up the NFocus magazine ( january 2015)

there is something about Diane Keaton that makes us smile.

her clothing choices are unique ( not everyone would chose white cotton tights to wear with a leopard pump) but whatever she wears with her smile it works. maybe we should all smile more and be a bit more dramatic in layering for this cold month.

january : in the pink

okay the suntan is gone and the new year is here
why not take your color in a different direction.
instead of the expected black and white try a soft pink
instead of the red stain lip maybe a think of
zinfandel, rose', or a bit deeper marsala
