Here I present to you, in no particular order or ranking, a list of songs and/or albums that I love. I have no real genre preference, although you may notice that there is more of one particular type of music represented here than another. That's purely accidental. I love music that moves me: that makes me laugh, sing, cry, dance, reminisce, dream or think. And I'm always in search of more music to accompany on this wild and crazy ride we call life . . .

Israel turns 60 on May 8 -- 60 years of Israel also means 60 years of songs and music. Join me on a travel through decades, trends, hits and famous people! The recommendations all link to Israel Music, where you can (and should!) listen to samples of each album. Enjoy!

I am a product junkie. In fact, I try so many different beauty products, I should probably consider a career as a professional product tester. These are my faves.

Songs that never fail to get me up and moving from Radiohead to ELO to Stevie Wonder.

All about the ladies.

Color is everywhere this season, but I am also seeing some interesting patterns in black and white. Not to mention, I am seeing a bumper crop of LBDs (little black dresses) that are just as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as anything in flowers or geometrics. As more of the fall's fashions are revealed, I hope to add even more finds to this list. Stay tuned to this noir channel . . .

Planning on taking a long vacation, moving abroad? If so, you might be interested in some of the things you'll find in here.

The warmer weather is one of my favorite aspects of spring, although in April and early May the warm days can be sporadic in my part of the world. And after enduring months of cold feet and itchy stockings, I find nothing more satisfying than being able to walk about in open-toed shoes: slides, sandals, flip flops, even peep-toe pumps. So I now go in search of what is new and different and daring in the world of slides . . .

Spring is Here and it's time to go color crazy.

Sit and listen as I share with you my favorite tunes. My tastes span lots of genres - the trip will be interesting. Keep an open ear and an open mind and enjoy.
