I miss Paris.  I can just imagine how beautifully cool the weather is there now.  Winter is my season of choice!  I have been to Paris a couple of times and every time I learn a bit more about this fascinating city.  I would love to take a week off and just explore.  I would make sure to visit EuroDisney for fun, Rue de Passy for shopping, Montmarte for a beautiful view and some sight seeing, Galerie Lafayette for kicks, any bakery for fresh baguettes and the Ritz followed by Buddha Bar in the evening for some Romance with mon amour Hanx. 

Anyone who is planning on going to Paris as well can check out some guides to start them off.

P.s.  Anyone who smokes, beware that there is no smoking throughout the entire premises of Charles Degualle Airport!  Good Luck!

“Hello World, Hope you Missed Me”

I’m not sure why that song just popped in my mind but it seems the best title for this post and I miss the world so so so much.  Or atleast I miss the world through my laptop or maybe I just miss my routine!  OH GOD I MISS MY ROUTINE!  I am officially confirming that I am a creature of habit that does not react well to change and that falls into comfortable ruts that I really don’t want to get myself out of.  :)   Smoking was hard enough but now changing my whole morning routine!!! That’s pushing it a little too far. 

FYI… My company recently blocked almost every form of social connection to the world such as facebook and messenger and the blogosphere and chat of any form.   I had a handy proxy which for some reason stopped working for the last few days.  Somehow today IT WORKED AND I’M CELEBRATING.

It’s funny how only less than a decade back, we hardly had email or cells for that matter and surely didn’t have more than 10 friends to keep in touch with.  All the sudden we have 200 to 300 friends to keep up to date with on a weekly basis and being cut off from your chats and source of social news can be sadly confining.  Being in the here and now is no longer the preferred choice of friendship.  My best friend and I have not seen each other in well over 5 years but we chat every single day for hours and constantly check up on each other’s pics.  It’s as if we never parted a day in our lives. 

If you think about it for a bit, it’s quite depressing actually.  There are many days where I can literally keep myself busy for hours and hours and not feel one percent of loneliness or boredom. But when you stop to think about it… It’s just me and my computer and a virtual reality that I can turn on and off whenever I please.

Not that I’m complaining :)   It’s just food for thought.

The Italian Police Step Up the “High Speed Chase”

I was shocked to see that Lamborghini has donated a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 to the Italian Police.  Imagine the next idiot’s surprise that decides to go up against the police in a high speed chase.  According to sources, the car can clock up to 62mph in 3.7seconds and drives up to 203mph at full speed.  That will be the shortest chase in record time.  But here’s my question, how are they gonna end the high speed chase?  I mean who would have the heart to scratch or let alone damage that car trying to stop some lunatic on the road.

Play with Online Sand

Got some free time on your hands?  I came across a site today called This is Sand.  I don’t even know how I got there but I ended up wasting away a half an hour making my own colorful sand creation.  You can change colors and fill up your screen with sand just the way you like it.  Plus the sound of the sand pouring down on your screen is quite relaxing. 

To get started, just press the small grey box on the top left of the screen and read the instructions.  When you’re done if you are proud of your masterpiece, you can submit it to the creator’s gallery. 

It makes for a perfect break during a hectic day.

The Nokia E Series

I’ve had the Nokia E66 for about 2 months now.  Hanx bought the E66 for me and the E71 for himself.  I call them the “his ‘n her” phones because they look alot alike and carry almost the same functions.  These phones are both very business handy, according to Hanx atleast.  I’m not much of a techno – savvy person but our phones seem to be the center of many conversations so I figured it must be worth looking into :)  

Guys seem to go for the E71 because it’s alot like the Communicator but much less bulky and can fit in your pocket.  Whereas girls are more into the sleek look of the E66 as well as the slide function.  Everyone seems to be amazed by the E66 ability to go silent just by turning the phone over. 

Until Hanx has some time to give us a real review on these two phones, I will leave you with these sources I found to give you a better idea.

Smoky Eyes as Easy as 1,2,3 with Sephora

Sephora finally opened up in the Avenues Mall – Kuwait.  The first thing I see when I walk in is their Smoky Eye Palette.  As easy as the magazines may make it seem, I’ve never been able to create this look without looking too over the top.  The text on the pack had me sold at first read…

“The Sephora Brand Smoky Eyes Palette gives you the tools and instructions you need to achieve the classic smoky eye in six easy steps. It’s the ultimate sexy look made beautifully mistake proof!”

I tried it a couple of times so far and I get better each time. I really like the color combination that they use.  It’s very subtle but be careful with the black shadow… It can get everywhere if your hand isn’t steady. 

I would definitly suggest it for anyone who needs a bit of help achieving the look.  Just in case you need more help, check out this video by Sephora with step by step instructions on creating smoky eyes as well as extra tips and variations.

Hi Ladies:

I am posting this special message on behalf of a great friend who supports my blog and jokes it at the same time.  We are talking about a fall on the floor funny kind of guy.  We always talk about him finding the perfect girl and he claims it’s next to impossible, especially on the internet.  So I wanted to test out his theory and see if we could prove him wrong.  He (let’s call him Braveheart) is 28 years old and looking for someone in their 20’s as well.  Location is not an issue. He asked me if I could put the specifications he is looking for but I said let’s leave this one up to fate ;)   My gosh, you give guys an inch and they’ll take a mile!!  So please ladies, anyone interested, drop me a line to my email fortheloveofblush@gmail.com and we’ll take it from there.  Even if you’re not interested, drop a comment anyway to wish him luck in his journey :)   This should be fun!

P.s.  This is not becoming a matchmaking site, its just a one shot thing :)

Green Tea and Weight Loss

October 8, 2008 at 10:01 am | In Delicious Delights | 7 Comments

According to Nutrition Data and various other sources, Green Tea can help weight and fat loss when you consume from 2 to 5 cups a day.  That’s about 1 to 4 cups more than I drink.  I thought one cup would do the job but in order to reap the benefits, you need to take in alot more.  Some of the benefits include reving up metabolism, inhibiting fat and reducing appetite. Anyway, it’s not an ultimate solution but another piece of the puzzle to a healthy lifestyle :)
