Luxurious thought of the day…

ShareI love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.

Stageing … yesterday’s staging becomes today’s ‘STAGE-ING’!!!
March 11th, 2010 categories: Luxury Real Estate

Fresh flowers, the smell of freshly baked bread, soft music, uncluttered spaces and clean, clean, CLEAN! We all have learned that a home in ’showroom’ condition sells ~ and enticingly staged vignettes can create a ‘vibe’ that allows the buyer to see himself living in and enjoying the luxuries of the home.
It’s easy to understand. The goal of home staging is to improve the home’s appearance in the eyes of potential buyers, with the ultimate goal of selling the home more quickly and for the highest possible price. Staging appeals to the five senses ~ sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. The more inviting and attractive the space is, the greater the tug at the potential buyer’s emotion.
Well, step aside former stagers. The Sunset Vine Tower in Hollywood, Los Angeles, has brought home staging to a new level. Setting the ’stage’ in one of it’s 63 residences with 180 degree views of Hollywood, this debut evening included music, candlelight, champagne and … a live model basking in the jacuzzi tub. You read that right … a LIVE model, bubbles, candlelight and all!
Only in LA? I think this new trend has international appeal, not to mention a bit of sex appeal. Trend setting in my view. Hat’s off ~ and more? ~ to you Sunset Vine Tower!!

Living the dream! ~ Handbook 2010 ~
January 5th, 2010 categories: Luxurious Secrets, Luxury Real Estate

I received a wonderful email yesterday from my eldest brother. In the Luxury Real Estate business, I aim to create dreams for people daily. That is my job and I love doing it. ‘A man’s home is his castle’ is a proverbial English expression which reflects that we each have our own individuality — ours to portray in our own gorgeous castle.
But along with that comes other lessons in living … those of ‘living well’. Luxury living takes on many meanings. This ‘code’ reflects many of my own principles. Read and enjoy…
HANDBOOK 2010
Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants..
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games
7. Read more books than you did in 2009 .
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Personality:
11. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don’t overdo. Keep your limits.
14. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
18. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree… Read the rest of this entry »
