La, La, Love this photshoot of Gwyneth Paltrow in the Harpers BazaarMay issue.
These photos are simply fabulous.
Gwyneth is gorgeous in the haute couture gowns.
I just love how simple and unique Gwyneth is in her famous-status world. She just seems like such a great, down-to-earth mom. I wrote about her GOOP site earlier. I love that she has GOOP just for fun and just because she wants to, regardless of what her "critics" say! That riding outfit is amazing. I wish I could wear that to go riding this weekend on some beautiful English property.
Are you getting the GOOP Newsletter by Gwyneth Paltrow?
If not, check out her site and see if it is something you'd like. I know it sounds funny to get email from a famous movie star, but she really does send out a newsletter every week and she sends info on things to make, go, get, do, be, and see. I love how she organizes things and love the information she puts together. It really is quite interesting, insightful, and helpful.
I have to share with you what she sent out last week because I've been meaning to post about this anyway. If you haven't heard of Tracy Anderson, she is Gwyneth's trainer, and she has some great workout DVD's that I just love! Well, Tracy shared a little arm series that Gwyneth did everyday while preparing for the movie Iron Man and she sent it out in last week's newsletter. Try it! I like to add Tracy Anderson's workouts to my routine to mix things up and I like her style. It is fun, unique, it works different muscles than your used to working out, and it kick's your butt! Perfect!
I love seeing how people decorate their homes. It is so fun to see what creative people and ideas are out there. I was very impressed with Gwyneth Paltrow's home decor. She is so beautiful and classy, it is no surprise that her home reflects her taste. It is very simple, put-together, and calming! The kitchen is amazing! I love the color of the cabinets and the white chandeliers.
Welcome! I'm Alisa & thanks for stopping by. I love treats, & seriously, is there a better treat than relaxing on a beach with a pina colada (virgin, of course) in one hand & a book in the other?
This blog is a collection of my favorite "treats" in life...

“Another fresh new year is here... Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .. To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!”
~William Arthur Ward
