An Interview With Gregg Olsen
An Interview With Gregg Olsen Gregg Olsen has 3 Young Adult novels under his belt. Girls on Film: A Vengeance Novel is his most recent book from his new YA series. He also has Empty Coffin Series with two books. . See his ENVY book trailer below. http://youtu.be/ux5QPxTYJ5g You have written both fiction and non-fiction, including True Crime.

The art of Threading- Hair removal from the Middle East
I’ve recently learned about Threading which is a hair removal technique for eyebrows, upper lip, or any facial hair. It removes the hair at the root with out use of wax, chemicals, or painful tweezing of hairs one… at…a…painful…time. All that is used is a piece of cotton thread, twist it, and off you go. It’s still not as well know here in the states but larger cities are seeing more and more of these salons open up. I’ve watched a few videos but have never attempted to do it myself at home. We found a place near Colleen so she will …
A Baby Shower Sprinkled in Pink
Another Lotti girl is due to arrive in the next few months. Velvety soft blankets have been sewn, blushing flowers adorn little shoes and head bands, and pink is sprinkled everywhere. Unique baby names are shared to keep Linda smiling the last weeks of her pregnancy like Shalisha, Shimmer, Amaziah, and Grass. Two overly wonderful sisters-in-law and I threw a baby shower for Linda. Heather was in charge of decorations, and as you can see she has a talent for it. Megan has games and the fruit and veggie platters. (Not the smell and taste what’s in the diaper sort of games, …
Mangos
During Kelsey’s journey to India she came across India’s King of Fruits, the mango. Summer is now upon us and mangos are turning up in the grocery store in peak season. If you have never tried one, it’s time. When you cut the skin off of the slippery fruit you inhale it’s sweet fragrance. As sticky juice runs over your fingers you know you are in for something of a treat. This blog will be short on purpose. You need to get to the store right away and pick up some mangos. Here’s my favorite recipe that Linda, my little sister, served my …
Eye Makeup Fun (**Win A Prize**)
Hi Tiger Fans! I’m another one of Colleens sisters, Shara. During the recent convention in New Orleans I came prepared to do some fun eye makeup for the big events Colleen was taking part in. As I started to put this blog together somehow all the before and after pictures I took magically disappeared. 🙁 Sigh. Even the pictures of the make-up we used are gone. So I will piece it together and add a list of what we used with links. I knew Colleen wanted to do some purple shades to match the book art for the upcoming release of …
