My Song (Music)

YOUR SONG - Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Onyx Black (Beauty)


    Color: OPI | Onyx

    Type: Gel

    Nails by: Hannah | Town Nails | 336 Newbury | (617) 236-8079


Rain came down, without rest, for four consecutive days.

That was my inspiration for choosing this color.

The gloominess of the darkness.

The melancholy of the mood.

Let's just dive right into it with black nails!

Not Your Father's S-Class (Auto)

The new S-Class is not the S-Class my father had.

I always equated the S-Class to an older male driver.  But that's all changed with the new S-Class on the road today.  Sportier and more compact, it rivals some of the cooler sedans likes Porsche Panamera.

I would love love to get a white S with dark tinted windows and black rims.  Butta.
(But not before I put my father back in one.)

My love for cars developed at an early age.

And what I love most, are the cars made by Mercedes Benz.

During my youth, my father had a 1989 Mercedes Ben 560SEL, just like the one in the photo.

He loved this car.  I mean loveddddddd this car.  

You wouldn't believe the options the car had.  Options that not even the best cars of today have.

Aside from the smooth ride and comfort of the car- the car had options.

How about reclining rear seats!  

Often times, we would take road trips in the car and we were always comfortable in the back.

My sister, brother and I would be able to lean back on the heated reclined seats and just kick back.

As I got older and started driving, I too was able to get behind the wheels.  Now in the front seat, enjoying a different aspect of the car.  

The car was heavy, strong and smooth.  

My father kept this car until he just couldn't any longer.  And that day was a sad one- for all of us.

And now as an adult, I have enjoyed 3 different Mercedes Benz:

2003 C320 Black
2009 ML350 Black
2011 E320 Black (current)

As my lease on the E320 nears its completion, I often toy with the idea of getting something other than Mercedes Benz.

Porsche came out with a smaller version of their SUV Cayenne, called Macan.

But I'm quite certain, I will end up getting another Mercedes.

Expect the Unexpected (Home Decor)


Photo: a home I showed the other day.

Being a real estate agent allows me to explore many different homes and every once in a while, I will find something noteworthy.

There are two things that stand out: the empty frames- painted mono-chromatically and two tables of different height- stacked to make a media console.  

Very clever, not to mention how cool the tables itself are- the industrial-ness of the stainless steel and the elegance of the curved legs.

I get a tingle every time I enter a space that has something unexpected and unique.

All of the senses come alive.

Inspiration Comes All Colors Everywhere (Beauty)


Color: Perfect Match | Flirtini

Nails by: Hannah | Town Nails | 336 Newbury | (617) 236-8079

One of my many obsessions has to be my nails.  More specifically, what color I get, what shape and what length I get.

Often times, I am inspired by my environment.

This week, I was inspired by my new hair color.

The red hair inspired me to do a mauve'ish pink (and I chose a square shape in a shorter length).

But the inspiration doesn't stop when the details of the nails are chosen.

It then inspires how I dress, what jewelry I wear and the mood I'm in.

Oh the joy my nails bring me!
