For attractive lips,Speak words of kindness.For lovely eyes,Seek out the good in people.For a slim figure,Share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair,Let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.For poise,Walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.People, even more than things,Have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,And redeemed; never throw out anyone.Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,You will find one at the end of each of your arms.As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;One for helping yourself, and the other for helping others

Well, put your bunny slippers back on(don't forget your pearls) because this space is all about finding "it".
I have ALWAYS been the ASK HER! Girl-the original IDEA source. As a designer and marketing consultant creative ideas are what my days are all about.
It often seems as if everyone and their Aunt turns up on my doorstep searching for... creative gift ideas, design consulting,vacation guidance, party planning,menu suggestions,shopping clues ... and even love life advice!
I have come to realize that what is simply breathing for me is often daunting and panic attack producing for many. So I thought why not share the things I have found that make me smile, maybe help take away some stress, and in the process spotlight the special.
When it comes to finding the "that's exactly what I wanted" and the "have to have" you are in a good place to play .
