wherefore did thou language go?

I constantly find myself wishing people still spoke the way they did in William Shakespeare's day. How much more romantic does it sound? 

...Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or Bends with the remover to remove.

O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

It is the star to every wandering bark,

whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

-- William Shakespeare

3 for Thursday

Hello Dolls- It's my three favorite things for Thursday! I hope you enjoy! 

Demi Lovato's new album 'Unbroken' is INCREDIBLE.

I know- you think she's just a 'Disney Star' well think again. 

This girl has an amazing voice- and this album is emotional and fun. 

Check out 'Fix a Heart' and 'Unbroken'

DRIVE- Starring Ryan Gosling

This movie is a fun, fast paced adventure! I loved it from start to finish!

Ryan Gosling does an incredible job in his role.

 Carey Mulligan is amazing as always.

I love The Secret Circle- Its a fun new series; with likable characters. 

Look anything that has Kevin Williamson attached is going to be worth watching.

The Secret Circle airs Thursday's on the CW @9. 

Save the...bathroom?!?!

Hello Darlings! My wonderful friend Amyyy showed me this amazing website! It's called  http://savethepinkbathrooms.com/ && it's dedicated to making outdated 50's bathrooms updated and fabulous!

 I'm a sucker for everything 50's and pink! The first thing i did in my new apartment was paint the bathroom pink, and buy a gorgeous black & white shower curtain! So im psyched about this site!!

10 facts about pink bathrooms

1. 5 million pink bathrooms — I believe that pink was the single-most popular color for bathrooms in the 1950s, and estimate that some 5 million pink bathrooms went into the 20 million+ homes built in the United States from 1946-1966. I can’t imagine this is easy to prove one way or another. My estimate is based on intent scrutiny of time capsule homes for more than five years. I’m declaring: 1 in 4 — at minimum — mid-century homes had a pink bathroom.
2. “Mamie Pink” – First Lady Mamie Eisenhower was pivotal in popularizing the color, which is often referred to at “Mamie Pink” or “First Lady Pink.” Her husband President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent her pink flowers every morning. She re-decorated the private quarters in the White House in pink — so much so that reporters called it the “Pink Palace.” And, the bathroom in her Gettysburg retirement home was pink down to the cotton balls.
3. Postwar exuberance — The popularity of pink, along with classic 50s colors like turquoise, chartreuse and candy apple red, reflects the exuberance of the postwar era.
4. “…Industry men say pink is tops”: — In 1958 Electrical Merchandising magazine summed up the demand for pink appliances, “If forced to pick one color as leading this year, most industry men say pink is tops.”
5. Hardwired into our DNA — Evolutionary biologists hypothesized and have followed up with studies showing that a preference for pink may be hard-wired into women’s brains. Yup, it’s scientific.
6. Retro botox — Pink is actually a great color for bathrooms because the reflected glow makes you look younger…healthier. Photographers seem to like pink bathrooms for the same reason. Have you seen our Flickr Save the Pink Bathrooms Group? Close to 1,000 images of pink bathrooms now there.
7. Kitchens, too — Pink kitchens also popular, influenced by the same factors. RetroRenovation.com recently featured 61 pink kitchens from the era.
8. 60s design shift — Pink bathrooms faded from popularity beginning in the late 50s and early 60s due to changes in design taste and as exuberance faded in the face of the cold war and other sobering national events.
9. Pink resurgent – Today, interest in midcentury design is resurgent, and for many buyers a pristine pink bathroom is a valuable selling point. Several trends are driving this back-to-the-future trend, including a new generation of young buyers who love retro style, nostalgic older buyers, and more recently renewed interest in the “original” suburbs closer to the city, which are holding their value better in the wake of record gas prices.
10. The most at risk? Of course, pink bathrooms are emblematic — we love vintage yellow, blue, green, beige, peach, salmon, lavendar, grey and even white bathrooms, too. But while there may be resurgent interest driven by sites like RetroRenovation.com and Save the Pink Bathrooms, pink bathrooms seem to be those most highly at risk of gutting, especially on TV home decorating shows where in the words of Rodney Dangerfield, they don’t get no respect

Stay Fabulous!

Freedom is never free...

With 4th of July upon us... 
&& i just want to say big thank you to our military for all they do for us! You all do us such a tremendous service everyday...and there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. THANK YOU! 

  
4th of July happens to be my favorite holiday because I'm such a History nerd (:

Some of my favorite 4th of July Facts:
-John Adams believed that July 2nd was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence, and would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest. 
-Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826--the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
-The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence did not sign at the same time, nor did they sign on July 4, 1776. The official event occurred on August 2, 1776, when 50 men signed it.
 -Massachusetts became the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday.
-The first public Fourth of July event at the White House occurred in 1804.
-In 1941, Congress declared 4th of July a federal legal holiday. It is one of the few federal holidays that have not been moved to the nearest Friday or Monday.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 
-The Declaration of Independence 4 of July, 1776.


Stay safe and have fun!!!
