Shopping Scandal

I didn't know...but August is the best time to buy a PC, second only to Black Friday, August is the best time to get special prices in PCs. And this coincides with the fact that I have to get myself a new computer. My faithful little desktop still does all I need for work and fun (including video games). As my lifestyle grows in complexity, I must be able to do more tasks at the same time...and fast! I have 2 blogs, 2 websites, I do 2D and 3D digital art for a few virtual worlds (aside from art on canvas and a "real world" job!), I collaborate with 2 digital artists to sell in 3 different online shops, and yes, I find time to play video games. The game I play requires that I move my defense or attack in fractions of a second (literally!). Plus, I also need visual precision when making 2D and 3D art. During my search today, I found 2 gaming PCs that called my attention. The first one I found is the iBUYPOWER Elite Gaming Desktop. The  processor is an 8-core AM...

I've always been inspired by the Birth of Venus, by Botticcelli, so I decided to make - not a copy - but a "modernized version"..of her face....a version that would travel from the time of Botticelli to ours, yet retain her air. I therefore saturated the complementary colors present in the original painting and emphasized the line. It's one of my favorite paintings, for its vibrant colors and calm mood. It moves yet it stares at us as it moves. If you enjoy it as much as I have, you can get a canvas print of it, posters, or other printed home decor and stationery items at Fine Art America, where I have one of my little shops. Thanks for your support and thanks for visiting!

A friend of mine and her husband just finished their diving training and are so happy  they can't stop talking about it. I do not know anything about SCUBA diving but I shared their enthusiasm so I decided to express it in "their terms". But how to "speak Scuba"? As it turns out, I found these t-shirts by a small t-shirt designer and they loved it! And their friends now want them too! The artist is currently at Amazon but soon expanding to another website that allows her to post more designs at a time (Amazon allows only 10 designs at first). I will keep you posted about the new shop! Check them out and see what you think! If you're a diver or have a friend that is, I bet you will love these!   Love Getting Deeper T-shirt I Work Well Under Pressure T-shirt And the third (just added so I had to update this post!)... the " I Can Fly Underwater " t-shirt! Thanks for visiting the bl...

One of the most quintessentially feminine things you can wear is a pair of high heeled shoes! Say what you want, but high heels are attractive. Not only do they make your legs look proportionally longer, but they make your posture change, accentuating the curve of your back and make you look learner...as well as change the way you walk to a sexier one. When I was growing up, my parents didn't let me wear them until I was 16! And the reason is because they viewed these shoes as transitioning me from a child to a young woman. My ex-husband had me wear flat shoes so I looked less attractive (that's part of why he's my ex now :D ).  Even men that prefer a more earthy and natural look will feel the primal beauty of high heels. Women will judge other women to be more attractive when they're wearing high heels. The attractiveness of high heels has been shown in scientific studies...confirming what many of us already know without the research. The most important reason ...

Using sunscreen and moisturizing your skin are the most important steps in keeping a healthy skin that looks beautiful and young. Check out my post about Consumer Reports best sunscreen products! For many years, I worked long hours (many times over 12 hours a day!) and had irregular working hours. One day I looked in the mirror and I noticed that my skin was taking a toll for all that abuse. My skin was dry and lines started showing at the frown area. I tried several drugstore products that gave me partial results and left me unsatisfied.I didn't really look any better after a few minutes. I needed something "industrial strength"! Yes, that's a figure of speech, but that's how I felt.  I should have made it a habit earlier, in my early 20s, but late is better than never! Then one day I ran into Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and, though I was skeptical of the name, I had heard good things about Clinique, so I tried it at the counter......
