Too busy to blog

So, I have been really, really busy the last few weeks and it is only going to get more hectic going into September because of Fashion Week! I mentioned previously that I don't like to blog about nothing. I really only blog when I have something to say. I need to be inspired or upset or overjoyed in order for me to blog because I don't want to talk about nothing. I always strive to talk about things that are relevant in my life, so that they may be relevant to my readers.
This blog is to tell you all that I apologize for not keeping up with the blog lately, but that I am going to continue to hold off until I have something to say. Maybe you can call it writer's block. Maybe just that I haven't been bored enough lately to sit and come up with something to write about. However, I promise you that as soon as I feel something is important to say and share with the world, it will be typed up and posted ASAP!
In the mean time, check out Channel 131 for free TV and Movie streaming. Be careful of viruses! Don't download anything, only watch what you can stream on the site. You can also spend time on Style for all the latest fashion. It is an awesome tool to view every runway show, designer's collections, celebrity and model fashions, etc. Then hop on over to YouTube and search for various makeup tutorials that interest you. Special FX makeup tutorials can be super interesting and you'll learn a lot. Or try out A Full Measure of Happiness for a friend of mine's blog on food and try out some of her recipes in the kitchen.
Or I don't know, maybe you should go outside, do something active and enjoy your summer!
Be back soon.
xoxo

educate yourselves and help if you can.

Donate to Charities that send you in writing what percent of the donation goes directly to the cause. There are too many scam charities out there. If a charity gives about 70% or more to the cause, then they are a reputable one. If they claim to give 100%, they are lying, because there are many costs they have to cover such as advertising, supplies, flyers and mailings, etc. Make sure you see it in writing. A telemarketers word, is not enough. Ask them if they are a volunteer or if they are paid. If they are paid, then 100% of your donation cannot possibly go to the cause.

Check out the link for something that touched my heart today.

Check out this link for a list of top rated charities that use about 75% of their donations toward their cause.

Find something that matters to you. Give what you can, even if all you can give is your time. Give blood, or tissues or cells. Give away all of your old clothes and toys. Do whatever you feel you want to do, but do something.

We are all in this together. Do some good.
