Where Is Spring ?

.Reading time 1 minute.

It is March, right? Hard to believe with the amount of snow we got this week! But do not worry, we will be wearing flip flop, bbq-ing and playing outdoor in a few days 🙂 Even if it is still winter weather, the sun is out and I would like to put a bit of sunshine in your day with one of my favorite chilling/workout song by the beautiful Clarisse Albrecht. She is a new mom, she speaks 4 languages and even if you have no idea what she’s saying in the music video below…the beat and the scenery will capture your heart.

Just look at the scenery below…we are all dreaming of warm weather right now!

You can find more about Clarisse at www.clarissealbrecht.com

Have a great sunny Saturday!

The First Lady Michelle Obama For Vogue Magazine April 2013

.Reading time 1 minute.

These photos were leaked a couple of hours ago.. the First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue magazine [April 2013]. I think everyone can agree that the fashionable First Lady looks stunning! The 49-year-old sports her new bangs on the cover while showing off a blue and purple sheath by one of her fave designers, Reed Krakoff. The sensible and stylish First Lady wore a dress right out of her very own closet at the White House — how cool is that?

The First Lady never misses an opportunity to flaunt her toned arms, and her second Vogue cover is no exception! Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the First Lady also shows off a Michael Kors ball skirt and sweater. The First Lady’s style is definitely something that sets her apart from your average First Lady — and she isn’t afraid to talk fashion! “If you’re comfortable in your clothes it’s easy to connect with people and make them feel comfortable as well,” she tells the mag. It looks like bare shoulders definitely define comfort for the fashionable First Lady!

We just can’t wait to see the full spread. See the sneak peek below!

Nora Ephron, As Remembered By Her Son

.Reading time 2 minutes.

Last week the New York Times published a brave and beautiful remembrance of Nora Ephron by her son Jacob Bernstein. It must have been not easy and really hard to write. One of the wonderful passage was:

“””
Another thing she requested was a pineapple milkshake, so Max brought one from Emack and Bolio’s, made from fresh pineapple. But as far as my mother was concerned, a milkshake is one thing that’s actually better with crushed pineapple. Dole.

“When I get out of the hospital, I’m going to go home and I’m going to make a pineapple milkshake with crushed pineapple, pineapple juice and vanilla ice cream, and I’m going to drink it and I’m going to die,” she said, savoring the last word. “It’s going to be great.”

On this day, I told her some things. After she moved to her bed, I said that sometimes, I thought of the possibility of her not being around and wondered if I’d ever be able to write again. If I’d even want to. And she told me that I would, that I would find it within me, and that whatever happened, she hoped my brother and I would lead the kind of lives where we did stuff big enough to occasionally say, “Wow, I wish Mom was around for this.”

“””
