Royal Wedding
How wonderful was the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on April 29,2011? OMG I just watched and DVRd everthing on it I could all weekend. I just love a beautiful wedding and this was perfect. Loved Kate's traditional styled dress with it modern touches. I was hoping Kate would wear a more dramatic tiara than she did ,eh...oh well,she was still picture perfect. PrincesWilliam and Harry were smartly dressed in military uniforms and handsome as ever. Sooooo now.... Prince Harry is the last one standing, I wonder who will get him to the alter in the coming years. I have to be honest I hope it not that unattractive, tacky snubnosed girl Chelsey something or other.
Busy,Busy,Busy
I have been so busy with work,as a a state employee dealing with people suffering with the economic downturn ......its a rough business and so sad. I am certainly doing my best to help and encourage others and get them back on track, but it takes it toll on my energy and time. I am still writing for a online business that makes men's white dress shirts, so in that way, I am able to keep up with my writing. On a happy note soon I will be jetting off on vacation and get a chance to truly relax...Palm Springs here I come....Yay.
Have a slice of the American dream
Have a slice of the American dream
By Gail Service
“American as apple pie” a common phrase used to illustrate something that is generally considered wholesome and purely American. Take fashion, it doesn’t have to be high fashion… hot off the runways of Europe ,just shopping at the Mall or online is good enough for most. Some fashion labels happen to be made right here in the good “Ole US of A.”
What’s trending in fashion and the economy right now are products “made in America”, “green products” and “green collar “jobs.
Americans care about things that are functional with a side of whimsy, practicality or even a conscience, fashion certainly is not to be left out. Some clothing labels have a humanitarian side; one example is eco-friendly Esperanza Threads.
Many clothing labels have trouble with the vapor of sweatshop rumors dogging them; Esperanza Threads is one that does not have that particular issue. They fight the good fight, and uphold a sweatshop -free standard. Made in the USA, using organic cotton for its eco-friendly clothing and a part of the Grassroots Coalition for Economic and Environmental Justice, the American dream is alive and thriving and showing its conscience.
The thought of child labor and sub minimum wages is not sexy and judged morally corrupt. Sweatshop-free clothing is material not produced through any means or measure violating human rights. Child labor is not used, fair wage is given in accordance to labor law, and working conditions are monitored for safety and all in all, basic human rights protected.
The idea of people before profits does exist, perhaps with the strain of an uphill battle attached, but what is a success story without a little conflict or struggle and Americans know a lot about both.
