New Jersey Life

Have you discovered New Jersey Life magazine yet? I am in love with it. So much so that I have become a bit of a stalker at Barnes & Noble anxiously awaiting the next issue. New Jersey Life is a regional lifestyle magazine for the savvy tri-state reader with a national appeal. So even if you don't live in New Jersey, it's a great information resource. Its pages are filled with regular features including: Fashion and Home Design (my favorite); Food and Drink; People and Pets; Real Estate and Money; Current Happenings, and Health and Beauty. My favorite issues are the September and October releases. September is design and style month. While October features the A-List award winners in 24 categories from the best NJ Home Design Shops to the best Farmers Markets. The top picks are selected by the magazine's readers. In each of these great issues you'll find colorful features and unusual finds from jewelry to doorknockers. Sadly for me, New Jersey Life is only published seven times a year. I guess that's a good thing because they kept readers wanting more. Waiting on the shelf right now is the Health & Beauty issue, so hurry. I already have mine.

For You . . .

Have a beautiful weekend!

A Splash of Color & Inspiration

When was the last time you treated yourself to a gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers? Adding flowers are a quick and easy way to bring color and positive energy to almost any room. According to the principles of Feng Shui decorating, fresh flowers inspire vitality, joy and positive energy.

Select the dominate color of your flowers based upon the mood you wish to create. Bright colors are stimulating and add an element of excitement;

while pale colors are calm and soothing.
Why not start a new tradition of adding fresh flowers every week, beginning with a bright yellow bouquet? Yellow is a vivid, inspiring color that helps to stimulate harmony and balance.

To keep your flowers fresh, refill the water daily. Cutting the stems back on an angle will also keep the flowers fresh for a longer period of time. Remove any flowers that are wilting or dead. Than seat back and enjoy!
