Beacon's Profile

Normally I would not want to be in such a structured garden but in this case I think it was a wise choice. The space is small and making it look 'wild' just looked dirty and unkempt.

My heart was beating faster in uneasiness in the 'before' pictures but seeing the 'after' literally calmed me. What might be missing and can be easily remedied, is just some touches of softness/color to the garden to make it more warm and inviting. Otherwise, I really appreciate the thought behind the 'after' of this particular garden!

This would be the perfect gift for my birthday this coming week!

Coconut ice-cream! Yes please!

It would be a dream to win this!

The garden....WOW...the garden!!

This looks just yummy! I bet it would taste wonderful with phyllo dough layered with olive oil as the base!

I was just in NYC today and was enthralled by these displays. You have to see them in person to appreciate the artistry and thought that went into them...we might not buy anything but we certainly leave in awe and with a smile:)

It sounds like you have all the raw materials...perhaps one thing factor in is how you see your workouts.

For sure exercising to ward off too much food and booze are good reasons, but one that might motivate you more is you realizing that you are loving yourself when you work out. You are bringing the very best of yourself with each workout.
Designating an hour to focus on you no longer should excite feelings of guilt but exhilaration that you will be a better partner, employee and 'you' after a good sweaty burn:).

I honestly thought it was a ridiculous (respecting your toilet paper?!) and foolish idea. It seemed to encourage more wastefulness...than storage. If clever storage of toilet paper was the motivation, wouldn't they have produced a more user and environmentally friendly product?
I have a tall glass cylinder next to the commode that I stack five rolls in. It looks clean, it's accessible and adds sparkle to the room.

I had the same idea a couple of years ago and mentioned it to some friends, who proceeded to look at me like I had two heads:)!....I think it adds a touch of unexpected luxury and glam to bathrooms. Love it!
