Get Inspired and Motivated!

Posted by Sophie on Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

I LOVE to read… biographies, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and anything else that stimulates my mind.  One way to boost my mind and attitude is reading quotes.  I have a collection of quotes posted in my office (right above my computer) and also carry them in my wallet.

Here are some of my favorite quotes that motivate & inspire me.  Maybe you can find your favorites!

Valentine’s Day Shoes

Posted by Sophie on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

I dream of sexy heels for Valentine’s Day… I would wear these “oh-so-pretty” heels any day but they are just absolutely fabulous on Valentine’s day!  A perfect day to indulge in such delicious heels that will make your mouth water like those delicious chocolate truffles… instant gratification!

The feeling of strolling in these lovelies reminds me of a verse from a song “That’s Amore” - …When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, you’re in love

Let the Money Roll In - Red Wallets

Posted by Sophie on Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Red carries the energy of the element “fire” in feng shui.  Red and its fire element symbolize good fortune, positive energy, and prosperity.  It is said that carrying a fancy red wallet (reddish tones… ) will bring you more wealth & money.

Also, it’s important to clean out your wallet and organize neatly in order for a good flow of Qi (chi).  Another great color for wallets is a gold/yellow tone.  Well, there are tons of options for wallets, so why not try and see what happens?
