Natural Cold Remedies
For a number of years, I have been on the search for natural remedies for natures attacks like the cold, and I have decided to include a few recipes for others who might be looking for a Nyquill-free way to cure themselves of the simple cold.
A cartoon in an old newspaper depicting an Irishwoman as an ape (on right)
So,
why do I feel the need to tell you this story? Because knowing this
history of my family gives me strength in a time when I know what it
feels like to be considered dangerous to your countrys well being. Being
seen as a threat to American society is something that my family has
had to deal with since they arrived on these shores and will probably
have to deal with for generations to come. Like my grandfather, I did
not keep my Catholic roots. My grandfather broke the Irish-Catholic
tradition and became a Protestant Christian man, still passionately
proud of his Irish roots. I broke that tradition and became a Muslim
woman, also passionately proud of my Irish roots. We both worship the
same God, but we find Him through different paths.
Claddagh+Qur'an=Love
My
mom and I took this picture after I saw a few photos of rings in the
center of books casting a heart shadow in the binding. I got the idea to
use an Irish Claddagh ring in the binding of my Qur'an. Click on the
picture to see it in better quality.
Embrace Your Inner Celtic Woman
Celtic woman have inspired me my entire life. Perhaps I have a romanticized view of them from movies and books, but from what I know from Celtic history, Celtic myths, and even Celtic religion, women were a force to be reckoned with.
Women are some of Gods most incredible creations. We have endured pain, suffering, inequality, rape, torture, childbirth, and we still hold our heads up high. Women have fought in wars, defended their tribes, defended their homes and their children. Females are seen as weaker than a man physically, but our strength is immeasurable.

The Hot Or Not Database
Nikita
= Maggie Q = effing HOT!!! I love her .. I mean I love this show! A lot
of action and let's not forget about Lyndsy Fonseca a.k.a. the daughter
from "How I met your mother" Well this is definitely an older and
"better" version of her ;) Last but no least Shane West who is playing
Michael. What more should I say? This show really is hot!! We also have
Melinda Clarke from the O.C. and Percy who is one of the few men on TV
who can measure up with Chuck Bass' attire. I would give the show a
10/10 if it wasn't for ... hmmm wait I can't think of a reason.. I am
just not sure if it is really a 10 ... Barney Stinson once said: "There
is always a hotter girl!" Whatever it's a 10!Limité S/S 2012 Ad Campaign with Jessica Perez
Do you know how hard it is to come up with something new every day? I
hope that you can appreciate :D Anyways. This ad campaign is
from Limité's Spring/Summer campaign. The model is Jessica Perez. Why I
have included the pictures? I think that they are cool (obviously)
The staircase also reminds me of our
A Dangerous Method
Are you interested in the birth of psychoanalysis? No? Well you should
be. Especially because the new interpretation of past events has been
portrayed by Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung and Viggo Mortensen as
Sigmund Freud. Looking at Kiera Knightley below you are probably more
interested in her role in this movie than the trivia around the movie.
She plays Sabina Spielrein - the play toy of Freud and Jung (at least
Vogue Netherlands April 2012
This is a great campaign. You will love the pictures. I am sure of it!
The models in this Vogue issue are: Ymre Stiekema, Romee Strijd,
Josefien Rodermans ... the list goes on, There is not much else to say
because the pictures have dynamic and vibrant colors which speak for
themselves! (at least on my Full HD screen...lol)
Jennifer's Body
Public Enemies
This was a highly anticipated movie back in 2009. But did it really live
up to its potential? Well that is a very good question. I personally
think that the movie was alright but I expected more. Not from the
actors who did a splendid job but from the director and his crew.
Especially the way the camera presented us the 1930s. Why did it have to
"shake" the whole time? If you haven't watched it this mind sound odd.
It was like a 1st
Vogue Spain April 2012 Cover with Laetitia Casta
Oh wow. Is it just me or do the Spanish editions of the fashion
magazines always have the hottest covers? (and yes I was talking about
Harper's Bazaar from this month) Laetitia Casta is just gorgeous.
The Hot Or Not DatabaseThe Vampire Diaries (TV)
The Hot Or Not DatabaseEva Mendes
It is time to mention Eva Mendes :) The first time I heard her name was
in connection with "2 fast 2 furious" (Fast and Furious 2) She also
played in Hitch, The Ghost Rider and The Spirit (damn she was hot in
that one!!) And now? Well... no clue :D I'll include some random
pictures/pictures from Maxim and I'll try to find pictures from the
movies which I have mentioned above.
Never Back Down
The Hot Or Not Database
The Secret Circle (TV) One of the new series on CW... season 1 started a few months ago along with Gossip Girl, 90210 etc. (btw I will write something about GG/90210 as well) It is not the worst series that I have ever watched but it is not a part of the good ones either... it is definitely somewhere in between. Britt Robertson is supposed to play the hot shy girl coming to a new school (reminds me of Twilight) and Phoebe Tonkin is playing the high school bitch but I personally think that Shelley Hennig is 10000 hotter than them. I still don't get it... who decided that Thomas Dekker is hot?!
