The benefits of socially responsible jewelry

Arts No Comments

There are so many benefits in the new trend of socially responsible jewelry.  For too many years conflict, cultural oppression and environmental devastation were involved in gem mining.  The new Eco friendly and ethically sourced gems are a refreshing change.  The jewelry designs are stunning and with the use of recycled metals, make a bold statement to support a new beginning in protecting human and environmental causes.  There seems to be an increased social awareness to create a new business model to a market that was in need of fresh new ideas.  By introducing socially responsible jewelry, it can promote change in the cultivation of gem mining and jewelry market practices in the future.

If you think worship music means robed choirs and church organs, think again. While this is still a mainstay of a church’s “joyfull noise”, then you haven’t been keeping up with the times. Modern or “contemporary” music is more and more becoming the norm, and recent studies show that churches who inject contemporary music into their services are seeing congregation numbers increase and attract younger members. To wit, Kris Allen, 2009 winner of “American Idol,” was assistant worship leader at New Life Church in Conway, Arkensas. This also happpens to be America’s fastest-growing congregation. Accoustic and Electric guitars, drums and electric pianos are finding their way into today’s church music.

I love my new tattoo

Arts No Comments

I just found the perfect tattoo after looking for days and weeks to find just the right tattoo design. I looked all over the internet for just the right artwork and found a site that had many different styles sample pictures to choose from. I was so pleased that I found this site because I was starting to think that I was too picky to get a tattoo. My brother told me that if I can’t find the right one to just not get a tattoo at all. The site that I found also had an article on how bad it hurts to get a tattoo that helped me to be braver. I am now the happy owner of an awesome new tattoo.

Arts No Comments

My husband has always had a bit of that thing for Marilyn Monroe.  I guess he’s no different from many other men and then see no harm in his adoration of this beautiful woman.  He has been collecting Marilyn Monroe memorabilia for longer than I have known him and has some very interesting items.  We are remodeling our recreation room to reflect our tastes rather than the needs of our children since they are grown and gone from the house.  I have found several Marilyn Monroe prints at great prices that will be perfect to frame and hang behind the bar.

Pictures Capture the Happiest Times of Our Lives

I could spend hours looking at people’s pictures. I have a sister and several friends who are photographers and I sometimes spend hours looking at pictures on their web pages. I also follow the work of some East Sussex wedding photographers. I think there’s something about seeing an event where everyone is so happy. It’s almost like bottling up the best experiences of our lives and we all can’t help but look and smile along. Of course, the other aspect of it is the sheer artistry. Even those of us who don’t have the skills to create it can appreciate it when others do.
