WE OFTEN CRAVE FOR THINGS, 
WE DON'T REALLY NEED.

Just in time for friday night 
let me introduce you to our next favorite.

2. 
If you are longing for ALCOHOL you better go for GRANNY'S VEGGIE SOUP. 



Because what you really need is

Protein
Avenin
Calcium
Glutamine
Potassium

Maybe you remember next time 
before you have to have the veggie soup as hangover remedy.

To kick off the lenting season we'd like to propose 
some ideas to overcome this difficult period.
We found a medical food table which reveals that


 WE DON'T ALWAYS NEED WHAT WE WANT. 

While our body is sending us signals of longing for a certain thing,
 it actually needs something completely different.

We picked our 4 favorites which we wanted to share with you. 


1. If you lust for SWEETS try LIVER instead.

Because what you really need is
Tryptophan
Sulfur
Phosphorus
Carbon
Chromium

"I KNEW I BELONGED TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE WORLD, NOT BECAUSE I WAS TALENTED OR EVEN BEAUTIFUL, BUT BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BELONGED TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE." (Marilyn Monroe)

Speaking of Burberry:

Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch "My week with Marilyn".
 

The storyline:
Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) travels to London to shoot the movie "The Prince and the Showgirl" together with Laurence Oliver (Kenneth Branagh). The tensed interaction on set between "The star who wants to become an actress and the actor who wants to become a star" is explained by the unpaid intern Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) whose memoir forms the basis of the story...

 
"My week with Marilyn"



"The Prince and the Showgirl"



I must admit being a huge fan of Michelle Williams. Movies like "Wendy and Lucy" or "Blue Valentine" spring to my mind. I admire her way of completely filling a role with all her physical presence, her naturalness and authenticity. But as Miss Monroe she couldn't convince me for one second. The naive bombshell is the total opposite of Michelle Williams. Maybe taking that challenge was the main reason for her playing the role, but the discrepancy seems obviously invincible at this point. Her character seems overacted and forced and is neither comperable to Michelle's previous roles nor to Marilyns in a way authenticly weird and enchanting personality. In spite of all the lavish make-up and body parts she couldn't really melt with her role. To be honest, I was seriously annoyed by her play.

Nevertheless I am still a big admirer of Michelle Williams as well as of Marilyn Monroe. Therefore I just ordered her biography, which I wanted to read for years anyway.

After a little research I settled for "The Biography" (1993) written by Donald Spato,
it is claimed to be the best.





A little something for our graphic design geeks -

After my last Muppet Show session I still can't forget Debbie Harry in her orange jumpsuit. I am a jumpsuit addict but my jumpsuit collection is still lacking an orange one.

This wonderful black-velvet-one-piece from the upcoming Topshop Unique winter collection will probably have to classify my jumpsuit collection. Can't wait.

I AM ENOUGH!

Many times in life we look for the approval of others by measuring our worth by their accolades, comments or bravados but their comes a time we have to tell ourselves...I AM ENOUGH!




     Recently, Whitney Elizabeth Houston was put to rest on Saturday, February 18th, 2012. Her homecoming ceremony was an impactful wake up call to the world. So many celebrities spoke of the Whitney the media did not know at all. The media glamorized her downfalls, flaws and mistakes to build a story for propaganda. Whitney Houston was beautiful, talented, smart, savvy, and sassy but still at the end of the day she questioned her worth. She still wondered was her gift,her God given talent good enough for the world. Million of women today have the same question run through their head.."Am I good enough?" Inspite of our accomplishments, successes, victories and overcoming moments many women still have a overwhelming insecurity of who they are inside. A woman's insecurity can mess with her self esteem, self worth, and self love which could cause her to lose faith in her ability to make a change in the world. So often we let society, the media, friends, and family dictate our worthiness. I believe Whitney Houston truly never tapped into her full potential or greatness because she did not realize her music changed lives. I have been guilty of feeling inadequate about my God given talented comparing myself to other people and wondering was I good enough to make it. However, I began to realize I was fearfully and wonderfully made by God and He never made a piece of junk. God's artwork is intricate and detailed where abstract pieces are added for embellishment. God is the greatest Picasso who divinely created every woman as a Mona Lisa. Ms. Houston was a beautiful Mona Lisa who had her own unique attributes that added to the body of Christ. It is true she died before her prime and still had so much life to live but her death was a reality check to love yourself. In her song "The Greatest Love Of All" it says "learning to love yourself is greatest love of all" and this statement is profound. It is important you learn to love yourself, embrace your flaws, your mistakes and realize that no matter what other people say about you, you are more than enough. God created us to add to His kingdom; many members of one body. We all have differrent skills and abilities but we are all important to the Body of Christ.

So the next time you wonder are you enough be reminded that God created you for a purpose and when you belong to him then your talent, skills and abilities are enough. So tell yourself, "I AM ENOUGH"!
