This is a Fennec Fox. The photograph was taken during my trip to Phoenix, Arizona. Fennec Foxes are nocturnal animals. It is known for its large ears which serve to dissipate or disperse heat. It's amazing how they are able to adapt to high-temperature and low-water in desert environments.

Did you know you can shop, earn, and donate all at once? You are already shopping online or on your mobile devices, so why not donate to a good cause while doing so. iMyne allows you to do just that. Many of the retailers you already know and love actually offer money back as an incentive to shop their sites, but these incentives are rarely cashed in on. iMyne works with these sites to send those savings back to you as well as your favorite charitable cause.

iMyne is also very easy to use. Most cash back websites are hard to navigate and are complicated, iMyne is different. Once you are signed up with iMyne you simply click on the iMyne activation button that will be in your toolbar, as a plugin. If the button is green then you are ready to shop and earn! If you're on the go and using your mobile device such as your smart phone or tablet, you simply just use the SHOP tab located on iMyne's site.

Another great incentive that iMyne offers is referral cash. You can invite all of your friends through Facebook, Twitter or email to join iMyne and you will get up to $1 referral cash back for every $10 they earn. Your friends will then sign up their friends and you can earn even more. The more friends you have in your iMyne network, the more money you will earn for yourself and your charity!

Any cash back that you earn will automatically be added to your account, log in to view your funds and keep track, or you can cash out. You can always send your funds to the charity of your choice as well.

There are no forms to mail, no points to redeem and no fees. You earn rewards for you and your cause in real cash, automatically.

Sign-up for iMyne and start earning your rewards now.

Everyone is finally showing off some colorful summer style at barbeque parties, poolside, and at the beach. For creative and easy DIY mani/pedi designs to match, new Hot Designs dual-sided nail art pens are the perfect tool!

I love getting creative and even enjoy having fun with nail art design. It's been a while since I've posted about it, but I recently had a chance to try out the Hot Designs Nail Art Pens. I received two sets: the basic beauty colors and the glitz & glam colors.


Hot Designs nail art pens are affordable and you can create fun and unique designs right at home. The package comes with a design guide that gives you some ideas and inspiration to create your own.


My little cousin came over and we did our nails together. I helped her with the designs. Using the nail art pens for the first time was actually quite easy. It's a brush and a nail pen with two colors. One of the nail polish didn't come out of the pen tip so I used one of the included pins to clean it out. Pictured below, I created my own simple design using red polish with white pen tip. Since I`m right-handed, drawing with the left hand was a little challenging.

Base coat in red with white stripes & dots on top near the tip of the nails.

For my little kid cousin's nails, she wanted the "cheetah" design she saw in the design guide pamphlet. I used silver as the base coat, then dotted with pink and black to outline the dots. She has little nails, so I took my time with the dotting.




WHERE TO BUY: You can get Hot Designs Nail Art Pens at Walmart, As-Seen-On-TV stores, or online at www.gethotlooks.com (US only).

Disclosure: I received the above mentioned product at no charge from the PR Firm/Company in exchange of my review in this post. Any expressed opinions are my own and personal thoughts. No other compensation was given.

Another year of Revscene's annual summer meet has just happened the past weekend. It was great weather and a great turnout. Oh, and did I mention this is a first that this event didn't happen during our anniversary weekend? lol! I love seeing all these new and amazing tuners. I know I missed a lot of other cars either because the drivers left early or came later.

More exclusive photos can been seen on my Facebook Page Gallery.  If you see your car, feel free to comment and/or tag your photo.















Revscene also had set up their booth and sold some of their merchandise. Gotta love those colorful landyards!


And here is our little 5-year-old junior photographer taking some photos of the cars.
