Earth Day Romance

Yes, I’m a child of the ‘70s and proud. My brother & sister were much older than me and I looked up to my sister with her long hair and crown of daisies. She moved with grace only nature provided. Together we convinced our friends and others to not be litter bugs, nurture a garden, save energy, and be kind to each other. In 1970 the first Earth Day was observed. American’s across the country learned how they could help clean the air, the land and sea.

Many years later… my sister has a lovely garden and still does what she can to preserve the environment.  I’ve found ways to teach my boys how to conserve energy and clean up the environment by starting with their rooms.

Did you know you could enjoy a bit of romance while celebrating Earth Day?

*Conserve water – Take a day off from doing the dishes and laundry. Enjoy each other in the time you’ve recovered from a busy day.  Save the water and take a shower or bath together.

* Use the day to grill a meal outside. Sip on an adult beverage while the steaks sizzle. Eat by candlelight in picnic style. Have each other for dessert.

* Take a break from electronics and go for a walk. Take a blanket to a park and lay next to each other to gaze at the stars before gazing into each other’s eyes.

* Build a fire…in your backyard or fireplace.  Make s’mores, roast hotdogs and have some cuddle time.

Saturday Snippet

Today's little snippet comes from Eagle Dance, the 2nd book in the Legend of the Spirit series.

BLURB:

Dyami Schafer, a Native American from the Chippewa tribe, leads a lonely life due to his large size and unusual appearance. When his nesting instinct sets in, he turns to Madame Eve and 1Night Stand to help him find his spirit mate. Or at least a woman who accepts him as an eagle shifter.

Amanda Collins never stopped loving the Chippewa boy she knew from her childhood. Maybe a night with a Native American man will help her forget the past and let her move on with her life.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to take a step into the past before dancing into the future. With the help of Madame Eve, will the Spirit of the Eagle carry Dyami and Amanda?

The rest of his story couldn’t be put into words. He dropped his own robe and knelt on the floor, facing away from her. Lowering his head, he folded his hands on his lap, exposing more than his naked backside. Her sharp gasp cut through his soul, and his spirit recoiled with dread.

“It’s huge and so detailed.” A long moment passed and, when her fingers touched the markings, his skin quivered and grew hot. “A little gory, but beautiful all the same.”

She traced the outline of the tattooed wings. Closing his eyes, he pictured what she saw. Black tendons from his shoulder blades gave way to feathers of various sizes used for flight. The inked wings arched up to his shoulders and down past his butt, to rest on his hips. His spirit animal calmed with her touch and hummed with pleasure.

The Little Black Dress

A little black dress is cut simply and often quite short. Fashion historians ascribe the origins of the little black dress to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel. In 1926 Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel published a picture of a short, simple black dress in American Vogue. It was calf-length, straight, and decorated only by a few diagonal lines. Vogue called it “Chanel’s Ford.” Like the Model T, the little black dress was simple and accessible for women of all social classes. Vogue also said that the LBD would become “a sort of uniform for all women of taste.”

It was intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral color. Its ubiquity is such that it is often simply referred to as the "LBD".

The "little black dress" is considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers, who believe it a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion: for example, worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear or with more ornate jewelry and accessories for evening. Because it is meant to be a staple of the wardrobe for a number of years, the style of the little black dress ideally should be as simple as possible: a short black dress that is too clearly part of a trend would not qualify because it would soon appear dated.
