.I n s p i r e d.

          I get inspired and excited for my blog when I follow the blogs of like minded people. I feed off of positive, creative energy. I'll be following a new wave of interesting bloggers and turning to some of the most creative people I know MY FRIENDS. I think I have too many ideas running through my head at once...and I want to express them perfectly.

          In OTHER news, for any of you who have been to this site before...you can see that it's gotten a bit of a face lift (ok liposuction, collagen injections, butt implants and a full body lift). With the help of one of my FAVORITE Vegan bloggers Melanie over at The Streets I Know, I revamped Isadorenoir ....Melanie calls it #cleanandreadable. She's an awesome Vegan fashion blogger/graphic designer/perfectionist lol. I really appreciated her input on the design. So PLEASE go visit The Streets I Know

p.s. I won one of Melanie's giveaways a few months ago....I am pathetic for not blogging about the STUNNING earrings I won from Melanie Cronyn Designs (Im taking the long way).

Ramblings: I might be boring

I've been feeling blah and boring..boring and blah. I don't know what to blog about. I hate the thought of even directing people towards my blog when there are no new posts. Hypothetically if I had ...consistent readers, I could simply ask "what do you want to see" ....but until then lol

Ramblings: Death of Osama

          Last night it was announced that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was assassinated (he doesn't deserve the word assassinated). In all honesty as I watched the news channels report his death ...I felt neither happy nor sad. With every fiber of my being, I wished to feel the sense of justice that 9/11 victims and their families feel. I want to rejoice. I want to climb up on a light pole and chant U S A! and sing every song dedicated to the U.S. at the top of my lungs but instead I feel an overwhelming sense of ...NOTHINGNESS (and I can't even FAKE otherwise)....I feel like a poor excuse for a citizen.

          Maybe it's out of fear that this is only the beginning. Perhaps in the back of my mind I feel like terrorism isn't over and people will always want to plot harm against the greatest nation on Earth. 

Let's see if sleeping will invoke some feeling about it.

Love= PAIN ...REALLY?

Since when do you have to be in PAIN to experience LOVE? That's so counterproductive in my opinion.
Does someone have to cheat on you or mentally/physically and emotionally abuse you to show they love you?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I don't see pain in there ANYWHERE.

I will not settle for a world of pain for a only little love.

Baggage full of shades...

I LOVE sunglasses. I needed some ... so I headed over to Bleu Dame  Their website is AMAZING. They have the cutest accessories, from Vintage sunglasses and clear glasses to jewelry and Eco-friendly bags (Envirosax). 
Bleu Dame features a $5 sunglasses section that always has great stuff. They had two pairs of great glasses priced at $18.80 ...in the FIVE dollar section. So I notified the company and GUESS WHAT they honored the $5 price!! *Does Happy Dance*


Here they are:

 2465

 2470

2470 was supposed to be in Black but they were out of stock.
Bleu Dame is AWESOME, so head over to their site and get to shopping. There is something for everyone (even boys).
I purchased these items with my own money and I do not represent Bleu Dame in any way.





Perfect song for this post

Here they are doing a cover of one of my FAVORITE artist Tine Tempah:

Mercy for Animals DVD 12min Documentary

Last week my free copy of Farm to Fridge came in the mail...I popped it in my laptop, pressed play and relaxed as James Cromwell's voice filled my ears and factory farmed animals spread across the screen.
I thought to myself "I've seen this all before...I'm a VEGAN for Christ's sake." I sat, I watched, I cried. Before I knew it I could no longer see clearly the cows being beaten then slaughtered. I was DISTRAUGHT. I couldn't believe how emotional I got.
To be honest, it had been a long time since I watched a video like this. One can get so caught up in the everyday routine, and forget WHY the the choice of veganism was made. After it was done I thought "omg that's it I want to go vegan!!!" but I already am.

I'm reminded of why I made the choice to be Vegan for LIFE. I think I needed that reality check.
