Just Remember

DVF for BB&B

I never wanted to have a blog about 'things' that I want, but sometimes there are things that I want so much it is worth sharing!

My personal style for bedroom colors are yellows and/or greens.  So it is no surprise that I fell in love at first site with the Native River  collection from DVF Studio for Bed Bath & Beyond. 

According to the website this collection was inspired by Diana's travels to Bali and it really shows in the bold, bright colors.  I also enjoy the oversize prints and mixture with textures.

Might not be in the budget right now, but color inspiration is needed year round.

Doing It Right

This is a REPOST - I was so disappointed by H&M I had to share.

H&M is Awesome

The East Atlanta Village is one of the most loving, tight-knit neighborhoods I’ve ever known. The residents are like family. On December 14, 2008, I painted a love letter to my neighborhood. The sign was located on the main thoroughfare on Flat Shoals Avenue. On one side of the sign, I painted, “You Look Nice Today” followed by a little heart. This was on the side of the sign that I thought people would see on their way to work. On the other side of the sign (the side I thought people would see the most on their return back to the neighborhood) I painted, “I’m So Happy You’re Here” with another little heart. It was a small gesture that I genuinely hoped would make my neighbors feel good.



A few days ago, friends started sending me links to the H&M UK website. Apparently, H&M were so impressed by my work, that they were using it on pillowcases and doormats, with no credit or compensation.




An email to H&M received the following response:

“We employ an independent team of over 100 designers. We can assure you that this design has not been influenced by your work and that no copyright has been infringed.”

Really?




Here’s a copy of a complaint a friend sent via H&M’s customer service portal. Please note their reply.


Some friends have been posting on H&M’s Facebook page, which is being scrubbed clean of any mention of this incident as quickly as possible.
Except for this statement:

I think it is pretty obvious what H&M have done. I hoped you wouldn’t mind sharing this with your readers.
Thank you,

Wellness - Nabacu

The opportunity to explore Eastern medicine presented itself today.

Myself and Noah had appointments for acupressure massages from Nabacu

Unsure of what to expect as we entered the standard looking office building, I was plesantly surprised when we walked through the suite doors.  The peaceful music and smiling faces that greated us immediately put me at ease.  After settling our paperwork, we sat to enjoy a bit of water and tea before our sessions.

Dr. Wang came and sat with us to discuss her background and what she could help us with (based on our answers on the new patient forms).  It was very nice of her to take the time to discuss our services and benefits as well as some of the other services that are offered.  Her approach was very frank and to the point, yet warm.

Jenny used a firm hand starting at the neck and working her way down.  Utilizing her whole arms, the pressure was a lot at times, but nothing that hurt.  I think my favorite part of the acupressure was when she pressed the points on my arm from my elbow to my hands.

Afterwards my back though sore was flexible and I am looking into contacting my insurance company to see if they can help pay for me to come back!

If you are interested in seeing it Eastern medicine is right for you here are some specials for the month of February!
