HOMEMINT - Justin Timberlake and Designer Estee Stanley


I have to admit that I was a bit shocked 
to find that Justin T.and Estee S., launched
a home products line. A collaboration named 

I love the entire collection, piece by piece. 
  You can easily tell that they were designed by a woman and a man, which brings a perfect balance.

It's amazing how much Justin T. transformed and how many
good quality projects he is involved in. And knowing  now
that he is into interior design ..oh.. allow me to say:
that he is the perfect man. 
He also sales his own pictures. Which are not bad at all.

What else can I say: he is doing he's best and he is good at it!!

Diary vs Blog/Facebook

We used to keep all our thoughts and memories to ourselves..
in a small notebook, called : Diary. 
It was a monologue helped by 
ink and paper. 
We liked it a lot because it was always hidden, it was just ours
and nobody else had access to it. 
We were the only ones who knew what was going on in our mind and soul..
and we were afraid to share it. We wanted to keep
all our happy/bad moments safe.... 
We were so happy to read it after a period of time
and analyze it. It was our Treasure. 

What happened?

Now.. it's opposite..  
We share absolutely everything to everyone. 
We post it on blogs and Facebook wall. 
We take pictures or share a song. 
We are like a open book .. anybody can read and know everything 
we are, feel or dream of. The thing is that we change the reality a bit, we wrap it so it will look good.


Question: why we do this?

Due to many reasons, I guess.. sincerity, frustration,
jealousy, show off, loneliness, fun, professional reasons etc.
Definitely, internet was the "small wheel". 

Question: is this OK?  

I don't think so ... at least for those who are too exposed.
Keep all the problems to ourselves is, in a way, dealing with them.
It's healthy to let a friend/lover/family member/psychologist  know about them...but to strangers? 

Probably, one of the main problem that brought us here is that we aren't satisfied if one person is there for us.. 
we aren't pleased if you receive feedback just from your close one.. we always need more... 

Of course we feel great to see how many people care,
how many know about us, like what we do, or admire us....
 But, this not reflects in our everyday life? Don't we find
ourselves fighting with lovers because he/she wasn't
too excited about our small achievements? 

Are we happy of how we look, or do ,if no one reacts to it? 

I see myself in this desperate situation of trying 
to feel my life with a lot of things ( so I can forget about others)as posting everything I think of on my FB wall, 
and trying to stop this because this brings other negative 
side with it.

Suggestion: close your blog/Facebook or any type of online
communication for at least 1 week. Observe what happens.
  You might discover how many moments you've missed.

We should do this at least twice a week. To listen to yourself,
to focus on your own feelings and learn how to keep 
a secret. 


The Secret: keep it simple.

Absolutely Fab inspiration

As Audrey Hepburn used to say..."I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles."

This is one of the paragraphs  from Absolutely Fabulous Blog which captured my attention and what Diana & Alina believes in . It took me 5 minutes to check their blog, Facebook page and to participate at one of their Fairs to realize how lovely they are. So I started to check their newest post and pics daily.  I like their concept, image and most of all that they are full of energy and well dress all the time. 
I'm proud to find my products in their amazing pictures... every time when they come to Cluj they have to buy something, which is very nice.

So, with their indirect support  and with A. Hepburn's words in my mind I keep trying my best to look better with everyday. The summer is here and if not now, than when? 


I wish you all a lovely weekend.
