The Wild Wild West

When the going get’s tough, the tough get’s going. That’s how we roll out here in The Wild Wild West.

Personally, I dig the whole moccasin, Western look. I’m soooo easily inspired by the natives in this area. The colors, the atmosphere, the crisp clean air, the down to earth and wholesome attitude towards nature and life. It’s profound and indeed very healing…

Here are some looks and pics from my New Mexican lifestyle….

Tumble weeds have always fascinated me… And I have seen so many of them on my trip through California, Arizona and New Mexico. They are always busy tumbling around in the street going neither here nor there…. they seem so lost… with no direction…

I spotted a big one resting against a blue fence.

Even though it is peaceful I still think it looks alienated and sad in this world..

Im going to bed right now, early for once. In some way I can’t sleep anymore, I rarely dream and if I do its always nightmares. Before I always remember my dreams, but now it seems like I cant. Im really considering buying a dreamcatcher. The Native Americans believe bad dreams stays in the net of the dreamcatcher and disappear with the light of day. Good dreams passes through and slide down the feathers to the sleeper… I believe in magical and supernatural stuff, so this might work on me. Anyone tried one?

Flawless Skin in LA

IMG_0007

If anything, Los Angeles is ‘looks-matters-central’. Sophisticated 300 dollar lotions, botox, fillers, push-ins/ups and teeth whiteners make sure that the not always sophisticated girls and guys on the Strip look flawless in whatever light that hits them. So if you are visiting and want a taste of the glam without going all the way with fillers, needles, nips and tucks I have the perfect spot.

Dr. Berkley Skin & Body gives the best microdermabrasion I’ve tried since my visit to Christine Chin’s salon in New York City.

I had my appointment this morning and my skin feels baby-soft :-)

Yoga Baby!

Sore back, stressful lifestyle or too many fights with your hubby?

Assume your favorite yoga position and find some peace…or find even more agony because you can’t get the poses right. Well, now at least you can feel a little cool when and if you decide to give yoga a shot.

Also if you are speculating what to get your sister or BFF for Christmas, this might do the trick. Recently I heard about this new co-friendly, customize-able yoga mats from Yogamatic. Yes, you can design your own mat. Kind of cool.

But I’m that type of person that falls in love with the idea of designing your own mat, but never gets it done. So I chose a mat already in the collection.

This baby: It’s called ‘Bolly’. They say that it’s Kate Hudson’s favorite, which certainly is a plus in my book and I like the Bollywood-ish look of it:

What’s better than doing the tree-pose while peaking down at a peaceful, cross-legged Buddha..?

For the fashion addicts this mat does the job. Blahnik, Choo, Louboutin, YSL and Prada stilettos paint a beautiful kaleidoscopic picture on this mat.
