Finding Neverland
Most of us have heard of the fabled Neverland from the epic childhood fairytale, Peter Pan, written by J.M. Barrie. It is a mythical faraway place where children can play and never grow up; a place where adventure awaits with new experiences, laughter and friends; and a place that allows for the joy of living to be fully understood. Most of us will never experience this exact Neverland unless we are lucky enough to watch the play. But does that mean that Neverland does not ex
Defy the Stars
It's that time of year, where we transition from summer to fall. With Autumn closing in, this stylized wedding shoot pays tribute to the simplicity and beauty of memories during our summer days - enthralling water fountains, vibrant flora, ripe berries, a rustic setting, and the trusty woods that Bob Seger sings about. The woods, which have the power to make two young people fall in love and defy the stars, knowing they don't have much to lose. Tucked in a southern countrysid

Kiss Summer Goodbye
For many of us, summer is our favorite season - but alas, it does come to a yearly end. So, it’s only right that we bid it farewell in style. LipSense distributor, Dorothy Romines, decided to do just that with a Kiss Summer Goodbye LipSense Party. She wanted to have a tropical themed party, since the name of her company is Hula Kisses, but since she lives on the mainland, not many tropical blooms were readily available. Her solution? She found that she could mix tropical elem
Transformational Visualization
Imagine that you are out in nature, walking down a peaceful forest path. You are calm and comfortable, and it is a beautiful day…. In Western culture, we strive to experience the above scenario, more often than not, but we seem to be constantly on the go with appointments and obligations. Oftentimes, we remain coherent but not profoundly aware of our behaviors. Through meditation, we become deeply relaxed, focusing our thought on only one stimulus, which allows us to access o
Solvang – Step into a Fairytale
Nestled along the California coastline, in the beautiful county of Santa Barbara, there lies a lovely town known as Solvang. This storybook neighborhood embraces the faith and hope of its 1911 Dutch founders who moved west seeking the embodiment of their heritage snuggled in the sunny fields (English translation for Solvang), of the Santa Ynez Valley. This laid back charming town is a throwback to gentler days where the people are always friendly, the food is always delicious
