My Self Portrait. #Art #DigitalArt #Selfie #Creative #Therapy


I've been working on my Self Portrait for almost a month now.  I work on it here, and there.  Add a little, Delete a lot. I don't feel like I am done yet, I'm pretty hard on myself tho, but drawing calms me.  I'm not sure what made me want to draw myself to begin with.  I just haven't felt like myself lately I suppose, and needed to get back to things I enjoy. Art really is one of those passions that calms this beast.  I don't get to draw, or paint with oils anymore.  My excuse would be since finding out Sy has Autism Spectrum Disorder, with Ritualistic Behaviors I just try to keep the safest environment for him, and my oils, along with the paint thinner isn't it right now.  This tablet, and creating the digital art I can do while still in the same room with him. We also do drawing sessions together on it.  I don't talk about this really, but I wont hide the fact I needed an outlet to be creative before I lost my mind.  I really believe Art, even if its digital is perfect therapy. I tried finger painting, and he hates the texture of anything "wet" on his hands. I tried sand art, and he wants to eat it.  The same thing with Clay. Digital art tho, he sits on my lap, and tries to hold the characters hands, to where my heart smiles, and I know my sweet man is there. Sy does not talk, and I don't need to hear his words to feel his emotions from creating things together.

Cartoony Banner I made my Cousin! #FashionLifeYou



Here is a cute banner I made my little cousin for her Website, Check her out at, http://www.fashionyoulife.blogspot.com/ She just started to Blog, and already has such passion for Fashion & Health that I admire her immensely. Maybe I am a little biased cause she's family, but I enjoy reading her Blog, and seeing her reviews.  They are detailed, and fun! She's so sassy, and awesome.  I freaking love this girl.

Harvey Prince Hello Review & Giveaway #Hello #WhiffLove #Giveaways @HarveyPrince

I received Product to Facilitate a Review, All opinions, and Photos are my own.


I have been vying to try out Harvey Prince Hello.  Every time I spray myself it puts me into a better mood. Something about the perfumes scent makes me think of Sunshine, Happiness, and A Hopeful Tomorrow.

It may also be that it reminds me of a Perfume Called "Happy" by Clinque but Harvey Prince's Hello is SO MUCH BETTER smelling to me.  Maybe because Harvey Prince is made in the USA, and is an Eco-Friendly, Natural Company.  The oils, and notes *in my opinion* are higher quality ingredients.  I am a huge Perfume-Smelly-Addict,  I have to smell good or I just feel Oogly about myself.  Scent triggers our senses, and that sense should be used for the good, and enlightened daily. I truly believe if you are a Happy fan, you'd more than likely love Hello more. I, myself, am a huge fan of Sweet, Citrus-y, Perfumes.


Harvey Prince's Hello has notes of Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian Vanilla, and Sensual Musk.

This was my first time reviewing the Body Cream.  I was impressed with the thick consistency of the lotion, the long lasting lingering of the scent well after being massaged into my skin.  My skin does feel softer from it.

The Body Cream, along with the Perfume has made me happier this past month using it.  Between turning 32 earlier this month, and guess.. what! We are moving again! This time to the other side of the River to Williamsburg to be closer to work.  I will not spaz out.. from the stress.. I will sniff my skin to calm me.. I can't be the only one likes to self cope from using their favorite smells.

Since Hello was my Birthday wish, The kind souls at Harvey Prince is sponsoring a Giveaway for Three Winners! Each will receive one bottle of the Harvey Prince Hello 50ML Spray, Est. Retail Value. $55.00. Giveaway begins July 31, 2014 and Ends August 14, 2014. Greenvics.com is not responsible for Prize Fulfillment, Prize is mailed directly from the Sponsor.


Giveaway is open to US, and Canada Residents Only.


In Celebration of another year older, and another year of smelling fantastic! Enter below to be 1 of 3 winners for a bottle of Hello Perfume.


August IS Audio Fest at Best Buy @BestBuy #AudioFest #MusicLover #Ad

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.


HEOS by Denon is a Wireless Multi-Room Sound System.  Recently I received the HEOS5 through Best Buy to Review. I thought the set up was easy, and I am using the HEOS5 in a Larger Bedroom.  The sound is great, and I have moved the speaker outside to listen to music while the kids play while streaming from my Droid.  Downloading the App was a simple task by going to Google's Play store.


I like the fact how convenient it is to move around, and how I can stream from my devices to it.  I also like the fact that it comes with all the cords needed to connect to a network too if you need to hard wire instead of Wireless. Both options to me are always a great buying point.


The design I thought was unique, and sleek. I can't get over how great the sound quality is. Do I want a Denon HEOS Speaker for each room now? You bet your Tech Savvy britches I do! Want to know more about Denon HEOS Specs, click here.

  • Free Downable HEOS App.
  • Multi-room Set-up.
  • Stream Playlists from iOS, Droids, Tablets, Etc. 
  • Stream Playlists from your favorite online music site; Spotify, Deezer, Tunein or Napster.
  • HEOS3 ($299.98) is better for smaller rooms such as bathrooms, and smaller bedrooms.
  • HEOS5 ($399.98) would be great for larger rooms such as Dining Rooms, Living Rooms, Kitchens, Larger bedrooms. 
  • HEOS7 ($599.98) is great for Open spaces, larger rooms, and Great Rooms.
  • All sizes of the Wireless HEOS Systems can be synced together throughout the house.
