Engage vintage mode! Sitting here in the Starlett Le Rouge studio and so to be back. Madame Starlett is working on a vintage style dress- and plans to make many more reproductions in medium and plus sizes.
While I was on hiatus, she has made a few more vintage inspired pieces that I have fallen in love with; starting with this sexy sea-foam backless top. Silky and sexy!
Also in love with these new, blue, lace pasties!! Specially made for Glitz Girls- the ladies of burlesque!
Oh how I miss this!!

New York Deli; Review: A Taste of New York in Collge Park!
I recently got a "behind the scenes" peek at the New York Deli in
College Park. Opened in 1995, The New York Deli has made it through the
economic crisis, and they are still running strong. Mainly due to their
basic principal: providing high quality service and customer
satisfaction.
Located on Edgewood Rd, this sandwich shop is a convenient hotspot for sub lovers. Their newly extended hours of 9am to 8pm on weekdays has made it possible for the owner, Ashleigh, to introduce the new breakfast menu. You can find home-style potatoes, Over-stuffed omelets, and traditional bagels.
I found this restaurant to be very different from the other sub shops I have visited. They have Kosher meats, like corned beef ands pastrami, as well as triple-decker's, stuffed with bacon, turkey, and other meats. They don not skimp on the meat- as so many other places do- it is truly New York Style.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the deli is the owner's dedication to customer AND employee satisfaction. The employees are like a close family- they care about each other- which gives them a step up on the competition. Don't forget the NO MINIMUM delivery charge- how often do you see that?!

I Love Elance. And a Couple Click For Cash Sites
I recently signed up for elance.com, and I LOVE this site!
In a recently signed up for Hubpages.com, Which is great for starting and practicing your writing skills, while slowly earning residual income. I enjoyed the layout and especially the forums at Hubpages, but Elance gives you so many more opportunities to earn money.
Both of the sites are free, but Elance is for more experienced writers who know thier skills, whereas hubpages help you find your skills.
I've tried a lot of different Online Money-making sites; most are slow money-makers.
inboxdollars.com was my first "click for cash" site. They sucked me in with their most famous logo
I have earned $60 in the past 2 years- but there was a full year in there where I completely neglected the site. Now there is a "Spin and Win" wheel- YAY GAMBLING!!
Here are some more sites if YOU are looking for "click for cash" site. Pick the one you think is best because a lot of the offers are the same, which makes it difficult to get credit!
cashadda.com
swagbucks.com
sendearnings.com
cashcrate.com
Check them out- let me know which works best for you.

April Instalol: Ready for a New Month
April was a huge month. Many changes, good and bad- changes in living situations, career changes, and health changes. Bowser feels the change, too.
I just can't keep putting things off and taking cat naps like Bowser can.

Blogger App Review- Is it Easier for IPhone Users?
Blogger.com Vs. Blogger App
Recently I downloaded the blogger app for my iPhone 4
I expected to get the same features as I did with the website although I was a little disappointed.
As many of you know, my computer is dead, and I have had no luck in finding a new one ( used is still new to me- hint hint... Still looking....)
So it has been hard for me to post new blogs on my small phone screen.
On top of this, I was laid off Friday- so now my finances are dwindling... So that dream of finding another computer is also dwindling. Luckily, I made a lot of contacts in my two years at Remax, and gained SO much experience!
So let's get a move on!
Here's a bit of an overview of blogger. Com and the Blogger App
My fellow bloggers know that blogger.com has an easy to use interface with in depth analytical tools- even more so if you integrate google analytics!
Also, Blogger has given us the option to integrate Google+ comments!
More comments = more readers
Blogger. Com makes it easy for anyone to write about what they know; IT Specialists, Artists, or Crazy old Cat Ladies- don't judge.
I thought the Blogger App would make my Blogging quicker and easier, but I was a bit disappointed in the features.
There are only four main icons on the home screen- Posts, New Post, View Blog, and Settings.
There is no way to see your dashboard, your traffic sources, your views, etc.
If you are looking for the detailed review check it out Here. I hate writing 2,000 word blogs- they belong in informative articles!
I'm sure that Blogger will continue to improve their App, as it is still pretty new.

Mother's Day: Personal Messages For Mom
Mother's Day is coming!
And you are armed and ready with either a blank card, or one from scratch (In the 5 Easy Steps Handmade tutorial!)
Now
all you need is that message filled with loving words for your mother,
wife, mother-in-law, or any other motherly figure in your life.
Let's start brainstorming!
What type of mother you have you have? Is she the funny mom, who loves to laugh? Does she thrive on humor and practical jokes?
Or
do you have a sentimental mother who holds loving words close to her
heart? You know, the mom who watches Lifetime movie marathons on
Mother's Day, with a gallon of ice cream, and three boxes of tissues?
How about this- your mother the strongest person you know? Perhaps she works three
jobs, never takes a day off, and is just a full out workaholic?
If
she is a mixture of all three- don't worry- I've got you covered! You
can mix and match some of these ideas for messages- dedicated to my mother- happy Mother's Day Ma!
Let's cover all the bases here!
1. The Funny Mom: Messages to Crack Her Up!
Let's Start with some funny- yet tasteful- quotes and jokes to get that inspiration flowing!
"The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents."
-John J. Plomp
-John J. Plomp
“My mother’s menu consisted of two choices. Take it or leave it!” ~Buddy Hackett
“Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he’s really in trouble.” ~Dennis Fakes
2. Wise and Sensitive Mom: Messages to Pull Those Heart Strings
Through together some wisdom for the loving mother
"By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh, author
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh, author
"Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love."
~ Mildred B. Vermont
~ Mildred B. Vermont
3. Momma's Addicted to Work: Loving Messages For a Workaholic
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou, ~author and poet
~Muriel Fox
This is just he beginning. Hopefully, this will get your creativity flowing, and really help you think about what your mother would appreciate.

Starting on Hubpages!
So I'm really excited to start writing for Hubpages.com- I hear that it can produce some passive income overtime. I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes. After I use the site for a bit; I will write a review on how it works, what type of earnings I am receiving, how many views... all of that :)
I just wrote my first Hub (which is the equivalent of an article) and I think it turned out pretty good for a first timer!!!
It is about driving traffic to your Etsy/ebay/online shop in quick, free, and simple ways. I started with three techniques (as that is all I had time for today) and I think I will fallow up with another three sometime later in the week- There are so many more ways!!
Let me know what you think:
Get More Views
I would love some feedback- on here or on there!
Thanks for the support, guys!!!
UPDATE:
I have now been on Hubpages for almost two weeks, and I have earned .31 cents.... May not seem like a lot; but it is pretty remarkable that I can write a few articles, not touch them, and still earn some money. Also, I love it! I have 5 articles now, and the online community is very helpful and supportive!
