Modernizing “Water For Elephants”

Crystal Elephant Head Ring

I am really excited about the upcoming film: Water For Elephants based on the novel by the same name. And no, I do not have an obsession with Twilight’s Robert Pattinson (I’ve never read the books/ seen the movie- just not my thing!).  But seriously, this film looks wonderful!  And I am not just talking… [Read More...]

Seeing Red

Did you watch the Oscar’s last night?  NoH followed along on both Twitter and Facebook.  And, while there were no major upsets, The King’s Speech walked away with some major victories.  But it wasn’t the only winner, oh no, the color RED also made it big tonight.  To my surprise (hey, I’m not clairvoyant!), the… [Read More...]

Let’s not kid ourselves.  If you are a regular reader then you know I am borderline obsessed with the Steelers and yesterday’s loss was a hard one.  But, I consider myself a strong woman… and in the words of Scarlett O’Hara “After all, tomorrow is another day!”  OR at least next season is another season…… [Read More...]

Game Day Behavior

Last night Lukus and I went to the Staples center for the Clippers vs Bulls game.  While the home team lost, we still had a wonderful time.  We had great seats and it was all in all a fun date night.  On the ride home the whole experience got me thinking about the rules/ behaviors… [Read More...]

Happy Groundhog’s Day!

By the time you read this, Punxsutawney Phil has made his prediction about the winter.  I know if you live in the Northeast this is probably a very important prediction.  Of course, I am writing this the night before and unlike Phil, I can’t see the future—so forgive me for not being able to comment… [Read More...]

Worth Watching

Last night we needed to veg out.  It has been a week full of birthday celebrations for Lukus and after our plans for the evening had to be rescheduled, we took advantage of a night in.  That meant a batch a soup, a batch of brownies and a batch of dvr’d shows.  A lovely night… [Read More...]

A Total Eclipse

Selene and Endymion

If you are a night owl then tonight is your night to view a full lunar eclipse.  It is the last one of 2010 and should be pretty spectacular.  I know, I don’t typically write about celestial occurrences (the closest I come is complaining about the weather!), but this seems like something special.  Plus, since… [Read More...]

Fashion History Gets Sketchy

Grace Kelly and Alfred Hitchcock discuss a scene while filming To Catch A Thief. Kelly is wearing a dress designed by Edith Head.

Awhile ago I wrote a blog about timeless fashion (Why, Don’t You Look Iconic?!).  I really love the idea how some fashion does not have an expiration date.  What is even more fascinating is how individuals can remain chic for eternity.  Without question, Grace Kelly was and continues to be a true style icon. Currently… [Read More...]

Banishing The Gloomy Day Blues

Sun Breaking Through

It is fall and the sky is beginning to show it.  As things get dreary outside it is easy to feel your mood also slip.  I am so susceptible to this.  Fortunately there is a way out of this!  In fact, there are several and because I don’t want you to get the blues I… [Read More...]

Haunted Abodes

Beechworth Lunatic Asylum

Halloween is just around the corner!  While Lukus loves the candy and the costumes, I am all about the being scared out of my mind.  Although, if you are doing the scaring, be warned: I tend to go with the fight option over the flight one.  With fear in mind, I have gathered some of… [Read More...]
