saturday stakeout
October 15, 2005unbelievable! it was just only a few days ago when i started this little tradition and here i am again sharing my latest finds for saturday!
* HOUSTON’S OWN : marnie greenwood, houston’s local answer to new york’s popular me and ro, started crafting beautiful jewelry a couple of years ago that sparked a cult following from houston’s young socialite set and eventually, hollywood’s own tinseltown starlets. my favorites are these liana link necklaces, worn as a single strand or wrap a couple of them for a funky look!
* FOR GOOD FORTUNE AND PROTECTION : this may not be the most attractive thing in the world but the power of the dzi bead still amazes every wearer. an ancient tibetan bead known for it’s mystic influence in maintaning daily good fortune and health, protection and to fight off negative obstacles, has now been redesigned to be a wearable piece of jewelry - be it the colorful bracelets or this necklace, worn close to your heart.
* REVOLUTIONARY IN-SHOWER LOTION : my absolute favorite product for the cold season, where we all suffer from dry skin, is oil of olay’s moisturinse in shower body lotion. slather on after a long hot shower, it leaves skin soft and silky preventing dryness. it’s fresh smelling scent lingers on, as clothing smoothly rubs on your skin. for a more lasting fragrance, use it with other oil of olay products like complete body wash with shea butter and body lotion. most importantly, they’re inexpensive and readily available in your local drugstore and grocery, not in your stuffy fancy department stores with long lines of women for make-up counter demo!
see you next week!
the dzi bead intrigues me. does it work?
i haven’t tried the olay line for body wash and moisturizer. i’ll go to target to get me some.

hi shelly! my comments box sometimes automatically leaves comments for moderation - meaning, i need to approve the comment (spams are rampant!). but i got both of them, anyway, i’m glad you love it! especially that i’m sure it’s cold there now! i never leave the shower before lathering it on!

sorry, shelly, the dzi bead seems to be working (i think). we got hooked on it when joy’s sister, shiela, bought us some from manila. i wear mine everyday (the bracelet, that is). i wear the necklace at night!

(just kidding, we bought a couple since the thread holding the beads easily break sometimes).
