Who doesn't enjoy having a tiny kitchen when you spend the weekend in a hotel? So much nicer than a cooler!! Weather rainy so we didn't use the pool, but it looked lovely. Arboretum such a nice area with upper level brand stores and forest all around. Plenty of restaurants and theaters and even an IMAX close by. We love to go to Golfsmith, also, and it is right there!!

Family Traveling with Young Children
We were so pleased with our recent overnight at the Staybridge Suites Arboretum. My husband and I traveled with both a baby & toddler so having some space to spread out was of uttmost importance - the separate living & kitchen areas were perfect! We enjoyed a dip in the pool, which was nicely shaded, and the next morning we were very impressed with the breakfast/coffee spread. We accidentally left my son's pacifier on a table and were pleasantly surprised that a kind staff member had promptly turned it into the front desk's lost & found. So the service was really friendly & top notch. If you're looking for a quiet hotel that's still conveniently located to shops, great dining options & a short drive to downtown, than I would have no reservation recommending this hotel for your next trip to Austin. No complaints - it was perfect! ...

Sun Hair-Nail Art
Nail art designs are endless and achievable with an active imagination and a steady hand
By Leah Fletcher
Nail art design exceeds the conventional manicure and gives you an opportunity to express your own creative style. Nail art, like makeup, is an easy and inexpensive way to modify your appearance when you want to match an outfit or alter your mood. Nail art services are offered in most salons.
And, with the right tools, some time and creativity, you can easily create your own designs less expensively.
How to design your nails at home with nail art
• Assemble the items you need. Sit in a comfortable chair.
• Trim your nails to a designed length. Smooth and shape them with a nail file. It's important to prep the nails with a manicure to remove any cuticles and to clean the nail of existing polish.
• Apply clear base coat and allow it to dry. Applying a clear base coat can prevent yellowing of the nails. Now, apply colored coats as the backdrop for your nail "canvass" and allow it to dry.
• Insert a toothpick into contrasting design color(s) of choice and apply to the fingernail. Experiment with various designs such as flowers, wavy lines, zebra stripes, or abstracts. Allow the polish to dry completely.
• Correct any mistakes with a cotton swab or Q-tip dipped in polish remover.
• Apply a clear top coat to seal and allow to dry completely. If desired you may embellish nails with gemstones or stickers for the final touch.
Here are some design tips:
• Clear base and top costs may be purchased as an "all-in-one" product at some stores.
• Think outside the box with color and design. You can use as many different colors and designs as your personality allows. .
• Browse the web and review beauty magazines for inspiration and ideas on popular designs.
• Embellishments don't have to be made explicitly for nail art use. You may find embellishments small enough in craft aisles or stores.
• Practice your nail designs on a piece of paper to ensure better control.
• Be careful because embellishments may snag clothing or scratch delicate surfaces.
Above all, remember when it comes to nail art designs, the possibilities are endless. With an active imagination and a steady hand, you can create virtually any design imaginable.
+ Top Story
For a time, finding useful hair styling and grooming tips for Black men proved to be difficult. But increasingly, ethnic-oriented hairstylists and male fashion gurus are expanding the options and exploring variations on hairstyles for black men that work with their natural texture.
A facial is considered one of the best ways to care for your skin, especially when it is given by an experienced and knowledgeable esthetician. While most women hear the term "facial" bandied about and they have often thought about getting a professional facial, many don't know where to begin. So...
You are looking in the mirror and examining the face that is staring back at you. Upon further examination, you begin communicating with the visage about the desire for a new look. You ask the question: Is the answer new makeup, a new hairstyle, or a new hair color?
A Hollywood entertainment blog recently featured a photo montage of high profiled actresses and models captured on what appeared to be their "bad hair days". An international model, who shall remain nameless, but noted for sporting long flowing weaves, happen to wear her hair in a sweeping updo.
The age-old debate still rages on among African American women regarding choices surrounding natural or relaxed hairstyles. There are those who prefer natural hair ranging from curly to kinky or somewhere in between. And, there are those who go to great expense to straighten their hair.
There are a variety of innovative methods African American women use extensions to twist their hair. The most common are Kinky Twists, Senegalese Twists and Havana twists. However, it's the Havana Twists hairstyle that is gaining in popularity.
As the fall season approaches, many will consider selecting a new hair routine for the cooler season. During the summer months, many African American women considered options that included curly hairstyles, loose waves and natural styles.

Starting a JOAD Club is really very simple, but before the club is formed, there is some information that needs to be gathered.
1. Organizing your group. The organizing group should start by determining what age range and ability levels are appropriate for their specific club. Generally most JOAD Clubs range in age 8 to 20 years of age.
2. Equipment needs. Determine what kind of archery equipment is needed and schedule an organizational meeting of people who are interested in helping with your club and then another meeting for people interested in becoming members of the JOAD Club. Topics to discuss would include class schedule, location and fees. USAA suggests getting a registration, consent and release form from all JOAD participants. Space, equipment and the number of instructors will most likely determine how many archers can be accommodated in your program.
3. Choose a Club Name. JOAD Clubs are often named for the range where they meet, a nearby community based attraction, a name of a town or county, or an archery event. To avoid club name duplications, you can verify your club name with the current club list.
4. Charter your JOAD Club. To charter a JOAD Club with USA Archery, there must be a minimum of (3) archers and one adult leader. The club membership fee must accompany the club membership application. A certificate of acknowledging membership and chartering is then sent to the JOAD Club. Occasionally a clubs membership may fall below three members. As long as archers are actively participating, there is an adult leadership and dues are paid, the club can continue to exist.

Today's tutorial was inspired by the beautiful Eva Longoria, recently I have been getting requests for more looks inspired by Latina actresses. I will be honest and admit that I'm not 100% sure what Eva's actual decent is but I'm sure she is Hispanic?
Either way she has amazing genes!
I chose this look as it's all about the eye's, they're my favourite feature as they tell so much without talking at all.
The lips almost blend into her honey coloured skin which make the eyes pierce even more.
The effect doesn't make as much of an impact on me as I think the deep brown eyes definitely add to the drama of the look.

Watch the tutorial
This look will suit any skin and eye colour, if you have dark skin choose a gloss that's close to your skin colour to get a beautiful nude look, don't go too light.
Instead of MAC Mellon pigment try Collection 2000 Paradise
Do you have any celeb look you like?

"You Get What You Pay For ... Not Much"
The room was exceptionally cold; the curtains did not actually cover the entire window; there were stains on the mattress (which did NOT have a bedbug shield; surprising since nearby Memphis hotels are all over the bedbug registry!); the shower curtain had no liner, so water seeped all over the floor. The room was just all around awful. And the person […] on staff at night did not want to talk to me; would only talk to my husband, which was unsettling. (The woman who was on in the a.m. was much nicer, however.) IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

Nice, reasonable motel. Not much on the outside but the rooms are clean. I stayed here both going and reserved a room on the way back. Theres a waffle house in the adjoining lot.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Loud and outdated"
The hotel is loud from road and AC noise. The beds are cheap, too soft. It is overall rundown. Breakfast is the minimums to say that they serve breakfast (cereal and packaged honey buns). Staff seemed nice. Cleaning was minimal, with a dog smell in the room. Its just old and outdated overall.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

"Would never recommend to anyone"
The night staff was friendly and the beds were not uncomfortable. However the non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes, even the bed spreads. The bathroom door and walls were dirty and the tub had enamel missing. The ice machine was broken and the laundry room where the ice machine was located had an overwhelming smell of urine.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

Would not recommend, cheap but that is all the rooms where dirty and dingy.

We even had someone follow our room mate back from the Waffle House and try to gain access to our room when […] we phoned the front desk she was told 'there will be no one there' not very helpful or caring staff, we also asked about the Internet not working and they couldn't of cared less, it seemed to be working for her as she browsed Facebook at work being the counter.

As a budget style motel it was more than I expected. The room was great. Clean in all aspects. Everything was in working order. I had no problems what so ever. :) Also, I am a smoker. Upon entering the room, there was NO smoke odor like the 4 star hotels I have stayed in. This indicates they clean like they should. Recommend this motel highly.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Surprise Experience"
The motel was not in the best part of town and did not have easy access. This made me reluctant at check-in and wondering what I was getting into. But the staff was friendly and the process simple, as I had booked through Expedia. I was very pleasantly surprised once in my room. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The amenities listed online […] were all there and the room was very comfortable. There was a Waffle House located in the parking lot of the motel. Very convenient. Again, the location wasn't the best so be aware of you're surroundings when exiting your room or car. The stay experience was very good. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Decent place if you have to have a cheep room."
The service was pretty good. If you needed something and you went to the front desk to get it, they got it for you. When we called and asked for more pillows on the phone though, nothing happened. The hotel was pretty clean but the bathroom was pretty sketchy. As for the location...Well my co workers and I walked to the gas station that was 5 minutes […] away and got offered drugs multiple times, which was also very sketchy. The free breakfast was a plus though, even though it was big by no means. Overall i'm probably not going to stay at this hotel again. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

Mowatt, Anna Cora
Anna Cora Mowatt 1819–1870
(Also Anna Cora Ogden, Anna Cora Ogden Mowatt Ritchie, Anna Ritchie, Anna Cora Ritchie; wrote under the pseudonyms Helen Berkley, Isabel, Henry C. Browning, and Charles A. Lee, M.D.) American dramatist, novelist, actress, essayist, and poet.
Anna Cora Mowatt, coming from a socially prominent family, was the first upper-middle-class woman to make a public career in the theater, and her successes helped to legitimize acting as an occupation for women. Imaginative and articulate, Mowatt wrote about her stage career in a popular autobiography, and elaborated on the world of the theater in fictional stories. Her best play, Fashion; or Life in New York (1845), has been successfully revived in the modern era. Mowatt is generally regarded as a significant contributor to the development of American drama.
Biographical Information
Born on March 5, 1819, in France, Anna Cora Ogden (Mowatt) was one of fourteen children born to Samuel Governeur Ogden and Eliza Lewis, both descendants of old colonial families. When Mowatt was seven, her family moved to the United States and settled in New York. Mowatt did not distinguish herself as a student in the private schools where she was educated. However, her interest in and talent for the theater were manifest early in the writing and performing of creative home theatricals. When Mowatt was fifteen, she eloped with James Mowatt, a well-off New York lawyer. They settled on an estate in Melrose, Long Island. Two years later, in 1836, Mowatt published an historical romance in verse (originally entitled Pelayo; or The Cavern of Covadonga) under the name of Isabel. Poor reviews of the work moved Mowatt to reply (also in verse) with Reviewers Reviewed: A Satire, printed privately in 1837. Mowatt subsequently became ill with tuberculosis, and went abroad to recover. In London and Paris Mowatt saw performances by the great European actresses of the day and on her return to the United States was inspired to write her first play. This play, entitled Gulzara; or the Persian Slave, was published in the well-known New World magazine in 1841. Shortly thereafter, Mowatt's husband became ill, lost much of his eyesight, and thus his income. Then, in a financial downturn, he also lost his fortune. Mowatt turned to writing and performing to support herself
and her husband. She began, somewhat cautiously, to give public readings of poems and stories, and was received with great acclaim. She also wrote a variety of non-fiction works under various pseudonyms as well as novels and essays under the pseudonym of Helen Berkley. One of these novels, The Fortune Hunter; or the Adventures of a Man about Town (1844), won a prize from New World, and prompted one of this magazine's contributors to encourage Mowatt to try play writing. The result, a satirical comedy entitled Fashion; or Life in New York (1845), became her best known play. Fashion was produced in New York and played for three weeks (a long run for that time). A few months after the production of Fashion, Mowatt herself took to the stage, became a well-regarded actress, and remained so for the next eight years. In 1851, Mowatt's husband died. Three years later, Mowatt ended her acting career and married William Ritchie, the editor of the Richmond Enquirer. Mowatt continued to write, publishing first an autobiographical account of her years in the theater, entitled The Autobiography of an Actress (1854), and then a collection of fictional stories dealing with the same milieu, entitled Mimic Life; or Before and Behind the Curtain (1856). Unhappy in her second marriage, Mowatt moved abroad in 1861, and spent the rest of her life in Italy and England. She wrote several more novels and sketches, although they did not achieve the popularity of her earlier works. Mowatt died at the age of fifty-one in Twickingham, England.
Major Works
Mowatt's most important work is her five-act comedy, Fashion, written explicitly as an actors-play rather than as a literary endeavor. The first American social comedy, Fashion is an engaging satire of nineteenth-century high society in the city of New York. The play pokes good-natured fun at the pretensions, hypocrisy, and shallow materialism of a cast of parvenus as they make their way in society and imitate French fashions. Although Fashion has a conventional plot line and stereotyped characters, it is marked by quick action and sharp, witty dialogue. It opened in New York in 1845 to immediate praise and popularity. It subsequently played in Philadelphia and in London (in 1850). The plot turns and humorous characters have proven durable, allowing for successful revivals in 1924 and 1959. Mowatt's most significant work after Fashion is her Autobiography of an Actress, which offers a lively depiction of life in the theater and the development of her career. It contains humorous and detailed narratives as well as astute social and cultural analysis. Told in a distinctive voice, the autobiography is a valuable portrait of the challenges faced by women in the nineteenth-century and of the conceptions of public and private life. It also serves as an early example of the self-consciousness that characterizes modern autobiography. The collection of tales in Mimic Life extends Mowatt's examination of the world of the theater in a fictional context. These tales emphasize the moral tensions and dilemmas that accompanied a theatrical career for a woman in the nineteenth-century, and they portray the minor figures in theatrical productions as dignified and hard-working. Taken with her autobiography, the tales round out a rich historical portrait of a complex social world. Mowatt's other work was well received in her day and was generally successful commercially, but it never achieved a level of recognition or significance equal to that of Fashion or the Autobiography.
Critical Reception
Mowatt achieved popularity as a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Her novel The Fortune Hunter; or the Adventures of a Man about Town won a prize from New World magazine. Her essays written under the pseudonym of Helen Berkley were republished in London and translated into German. Moreover, her autobiography sold extremely well, and was admired by many, including Nathaniel Hawthorne. Mowatt was also a leading figure in the nineteenth-century theater, being well-known in both the United States and England. Furthermore, her dramatic talents and knowledge of the theater helped to make her successful as a playwright. Mowatt's status and esteem in high society helped to change the prevailing notion that the theater was inherently immoral and corrupting, particularly for women. Mowatt's success as a playwright, especially with Fashion, challenged those critics who claimed that women could not write plays. Contemporary critics regard Mowatt as the woman with the greatest impact on early American drama, and Fashion as the best nineteenth-century comedy. As the most anthologized play of the nineteenth-century, Fashion holds a firm place in the canon of nineteenth-century American drama. Historians of the theater have found Mowatt's autobiography and stories about the theater to be valuable sources for details of the daily lives of people who lived and worked behind the curtain. Feminist historians, on the other hand, find Mowatt to be a valuable and articulate example of an unconventional woman, sensitive to the problems of working women and women in the theater.

[In the following excerpt, Howitt offers an appreciative memoir of the start of Mowatt's writing career and of the public reception of Fashion.]
Partly in consequence of Mr. Mowatt's residence in Europe, and partly from an affection of the eyes, he gave up his profession of barrister, and was subsequently induced to embark to a large extent in commercial speculations, when unfortunately one of those terrible crises occurring which convulse the whole mercantile world, he, together with thousands of others, found himself on the brink of ruin.
A time of dreadful anxiety succeeded: sleepless nights and days of uncertainty and apprehension. In a few weeks the worst, as they believed, was known, immense loss must be sustained, but still there was a chance of something being saved. Mrs. Mowatt who was extremely attached to their residence, where the brightest and happiest portion of her life had been spent, was willing to make any present sacrifice for the hope of returning in better days to this favourite place.
Misfortunes, however, never come alone; and now, as if to prove the truth of the adage, scarcely had they summoned a cheerful courage to look the future in the face, when a new sorrow, and one more appalling than all the rest, befel them. The affection of the...

[In the following excerpt, Thompson discusses Mowatt's contributions to the tradition of dramatic reading and characterizes her performing style.]
Chautauqua marked the climax and not the beginning of the great American interest in public readings of literature. That interest swelled into a passion in the pair of decades just before and after 1900, but that expansion had been prepared for by two earlier developments. One was the patient and wide-spread lecturing on and demonstrating of oral reading by teachers of elocution. The other, complementary to the earnest elocutionists, was the glamorous example of three famous actress-readers touring America between 1841 and 1875. These were Anna Cora Mowatt, Frances Anne Kemble, and Charlotte Cushman.
Prior to the public readings of these three, only a few visiting British actors and actresses had given readings in America, and then only on the fairly rare occasions when they could not find employment with a theatre company. James Fennell and John Vandenhoff, aging British tragedians, occasionally gave readings. A Mrs. Gardner, "actress from Covent Garden," having tried London, Dublin, Jamaica, and Charleston, discovered with some anxiety that she...

[In the following essay, Gillespie analyzes the textual similarities between Mowatt's novel Fairy Fingers and a contemporary French play of the same name, arguing that Mowatt borrowed her plot from the French play.]
On March 29, 1858, Les Doigts de fée (in English, Fairy Fingers) opened at the Comédie française to dismal reviews. Undeterred, French audiences flocked to see this latest play by Eugène Scribe, and publishers immediately offered it to the reading public.1 Once again Scribe, the father of the well-made play, had a hit on his hands.2
In August 1860, Anna Cora Ogden Mowatt Ritchie, author of Fashion, arrived in Paris.3 The recent death of her father, the serious illness of her sister, and—perhaps most important of all—the dallying of her new husband with a slave woman had driven her to leave America for France. In Paris and in need of money, she planned "to eke out an existence with her pen."4 Almost at once she began work on a novel, a work that she continued after her move to Florence (June 1861) and completed during her visit to New York (1862-1864). By the time ill health forced her return to Florence (1864), the novel, Fairy Fingers, had...

[In the following excerpt, Abramson discusses Mowatt's Fashion as the foremost woman 's play of the nineteenth-century.]
In 1891, Laurence Hutton had this to say about native American drama:
The American drama—such as it is—may be divided into several classes, including the Indian Drama, and the plays of Frontier Life, which are often identical; the Revolutionary and war plays; the Yankee, or character plays, like The Gilded Age, or The Old Homestead; the plays of local life and character, like Mose, or Squatter Sovereignty; and the society plays, of which Mrs. Mowatt's Fashion, and Bronson Howard's Saratoga Trunk are fair examples.1
Writing toward the end of a century noted for a theater of spectacle, melodrama, and sentiment, a theater continually adapting to an audience of newcomers and an expanding frontier, he categorized plays written for that theater, mentioning only a few by title. And a woman is one of only two playwrights acknowledged by name. Actually, women wrote plays that fit all these classes, but it is right that Anna Cora Mowatt should be named here and...

SOURCE: Revelations of the Self: American Women in Autobiography, State University of New York Press, 1990, pp. xvi-xx, 1-2.
[In the following excerpt, the Fowlers introduce Mowatt's autobiography in the context of nineteenth-century culture.]
In 1854 there appeared a book entitled Autobiography of an Actress, or Eight Years on the Stage, by Anna Cora Mowatt, issued by the well-known Boston firm of Ticknor and Fields. The publishers, highly pleased with their record-breaking sales of Harriet Beecher Stowe's recent Uncle Tom 's Cabin, had good reason to suppose that their new female author, a popular actress, would bring them more profits. In the preceding dozen years Mrs. Mowatt had openly defied conventions governing woman's place in society, winning the public's favor while retaining the respect of much of the upper-middle-class society to which she belonged. Her first appearances in public had been as a dramatic reader of poetry to audiences containing men as well as women. She had next published plays and novels. One of the plays, Fashion, or, Life in New York (1845), had been staged to great applause in New York and Philadelphia. Turning to acting, Mowatt had gone on to popular successes as a leading lady in both the United States and England. Ticknor and Fields were rewarded: Autobiography of an Actress sold more that twenty thousand copies in its first year of...

[In the following essay, Hutchisson analyzes Mowatt's acquaintanceship with Edgar Allan Poe and argues that one of her characters in Fashion was a parodic representation of Poe.]
In Anna Cora Mowatt's drawing-room comedy Fashion; or, Life in New York, which premiered at the Park Theatre in New York on 25 March 1845, there appears a minor character named T. Tennyson Twinkle, a diminutive poet who has recently achieved celebrity with a popular poem and who is romantically involved with wealthy older women. Twinkle, who appears only in the first and last scenes of the play, is portrayed as a disputatious literary critic and popular lecturer on poetry in America. Early in the first act, Twinkle arrives at the home of Mrs. Tiffany, the wife of a well-to-do New York merchant, to find her reading a literary periodical which he edits, "The New Monthly Vernal Galaxy," and in reply to Mrs. Tiffany's fulsome remark about the beauty of his poetry, Twinkle says, "Yes, they do read tolerably. And you must take into consideration, ladies, the rapidity with which they were written. Four minutes and a half by the stop watch! The true test of a poet is the velocity with which he composes."1
I should like to suggest that Mowatt parodistically modeled this...

SOURCE: "Chastity and the Stage in Mowatt's 'Stella,'" in Studies in American Fiction, Vol. 24, No. 1, Spring, 1996, pp. 87–100.
[In the following essay, Richards examines the themes of chastity and the moral dangers of the theater in Mowatt's novella "Stella."]
At the end of her brief but illustrious theatrical career, the actress and playwright Anna Cora Mowatt returned to a genre she had worked earlier in her life, fiction, in order to convey some ideas she had about stage life. Her collection of three long stories, Mimic Life; or, Before and Behind the Curtain, appeared in 1856, approximately a year and a half after she had married William Foushee Ritchie, her second husband. Mowatt, born Anna Cora Ogden, had in younger days dabbled in amateur theater. When her first husband, James Mowatt, began to lose money and through illness grow increasingly incapable of earning a living, Anna Mowatt turned to public reading,1 then to writing, to make up the loss of income. When her 1845 play Fashion proved to be a hit at the Park Theatre in New York, she was encouraged to act as well. Her immediate success as an actress only three months after the opening of Fashion led to an astonishing career both in the United States and in England. With the death of her husband, Mowatt continued to act, to considerable acclaim, in order to support herself. Her marriage to Ritchie,...
