Bobbi Brown Rose Gold Shimmer Brick Compact Wild Rose and Rose Gold Swatches, Review, Photos
Ah Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks! So beautiful but so challenging for me to use. I'm very heavy handed so I tend to over do highlighters plus having a rounder face I never really know exactly where to put these. I normally smile really big and bounce my blush brush on the apples of my cheeks. Probably the completely wrong technique for blush and highlighter application but I'm no expert!
But…there's just something about Shimmer Bricks. I feel like I NEED to collect every single one that comes out and of course the new Shimmer Bricks released with the Rose Gold Collection are just stunning.
Take a peek!
Upon first inspection of both the Wild Rose and Rose Gold variations of these new Shimmer Bricks I was a little let down as I thought perhaps they looked a little too familiar to shades I already own. But after trying them I was completely delighted how much different they appear on my skin.
Wild Rose particularly struck me as dupe-able but it actually applies really bright and beautiful on my cheeks and I can't easily say any of my other Shimmer Bricks look the same. The graduation of shades starts with a light pink, and moves into a beige pink, deep rose, dusky rose, and bright rosy pink. I think the name is particularly fitting as truly it gives a Wild Rose finish on cheeks, deep dusky rose with highlights of lighter pink. I liked this Shimmer Brick the best and felt it embodied the idea and concept of the collection. In my photo below I kept things very light and applied the new shade of blush Bobbi recently introduced with Neons and Nudes, Nude Pink, on my cheeks. Nude Pink is such a light shade it makes an excellent base for the Wild Rose Shimmer Brick as you aren't starting out your application with a loud, vibrant blush and this gives Wild Rose the chance to shine. I dusted Wild Rose on the apples of my cheeks using a fan brush and it intensified Nude Pink in a major way and gave just the right bit of sparkle. I don't think I over did it and it looked like a nice finish to me, not too disco-ball or overly shimmery. But I'm not an expert at application so you might feel different about the look I created. I tried to recreate the bronze-y rose lip look the model was wearing in the Rose Gold promo image but it proved impossible sadly. So I used one of the new shades of lipstick with this collection in Nude Rose and topped it with one of the new glosses in Pink Cocoa.
Rose Gold is a selection of almost pastel light, creamy beiges, creams, and peaches. This shade selection will look best if you're looking to lighten up your look or add the right touch of highlight and glow on darker skin. I'll do a Face of the Day using it shortly.
Overall, I thought Wild Rose was a true keeper. Rose Gold is equally nice but if you have to choose one I think Wild Rose should be it. Yeah, we own a ton of pretty highlighting powders and we surely don't need more but who can resist when they are as stunning as these.

1/27/12 11:37 Noelle:
You look fab Muse! Ohh I really like the Wild Rose, although I thought I would like the Rose Gold more.
In your opinion which shade do you think will be better for medium skin?-
1/27/12 11:55 the Muse:
thanks Noelle your very kind to say so Depends on the look you're going for hun. I'm medium fair, dark undertones and I liked both. If you prefer peach blushes I think Rose Gold pairs up beautiful with those and if you like pink blushes wild rose looks nice ;-D
1/27/12 11:45 Laura:
I haven't been able to get on the shimmer brick train – just too much shimmer for me But you look absolutely lovely!
1/27/12 11:54 the Muse:
same laura I tend to over do it and sometimes Bobbi's bricks look frosty on me! but I love them so
1/27/12 12:12 Lauren:
You look beautiful, Ms. Muse! I love the lip with cheek: it's a very pretty balance. If it makes you feel any better, I'm kind of an idiot about blush. Which is ridiculous, right?! I almost always just use some blush-bronzer hybrid dealie like BB Maui or Antigua because i can never get blush-blush just right. Anyway, I thought for sure I liked the Rose Gold better, but you make a strong case for the Wild Rose…
1/27/12 14:22 the Muse:
aw thanks lauren thank you very much! no I am too, you're not an idiot at all, just one of those things! I LOVE the wild rose so far
1/27/12 12:52 HapaGirl84:
Love the look on you! Wild Rose definitely gives a nice flush with some sparkle, and I looove me some sparkle! I can't wait to see the other FOTD with Rose Gold.
1/27/12 14:21 the Muse:
thanks hapa *hugs*
1/27/12 13:58 susan:
Needless to say, these haven't hit the UK counters or website yet but when they do I'll be buying. I'm a lot older than the Muse and should probably let the shimmer go but I love the healthy, glowy look I convince myself they give me. Along with Nars Multiple, I think the Shimmer brick is one of the most versatile cosmetics to throw in your handbag.
1/27/12 14:20 the Muse:
hi susan! I think you'll love them both, wild rose is particularly great
1/27/12 15:16 susan:
Rose gold looks very like Nectar on the photo?
1/27/12 16:32 Vail Valley Girl:
I fair skinned. Not albino but not olive. Maybe 2+ shades above albino but not medium.
Any idea on how it would work to just simply this and use the Wild Rose as a blush? I like to keep my routine simple and tire of layering on products.-
1/27/12 16:47 the Muse:
it would probably be a bit too shimmery for all over blush vail. you can maybe buff it out if you like but if you're fair with red cheeks you might find wild rose a bit too much to undertake.
1/28/12 1:03 Blair:
Wow, that blush looks amazing on you, Muse! <3
2/3/12 13:35 the Muse:
aw thanks blair!
1/28/12 8:33 JenJ:
Oooooooh decisions decisions! I've been getting more and more on the highlight train and it's Bobbi Brown! I like both of them *head palm* Looks like a trip to the BB counter in is order.
1/28/12 22:36 Mary the Muse Militant:
Muse, you look like a "glittering prize" ! Just like my favourite song. I have to say you have the most amazing eyebrows ever. Bobbi Brown just might get some money out of me this month
1/30/12 11:44 the Muse:
aw shucks thanks Mary ;-D Bobbi for the WIN!
1/29/12 12:06 Lauren:
I went to Nords the other day and, even though I'd been sooooo excited about it all week, I ended up being underwhelmed by the collection in person. The Bricks, in person, were too much like the regular ones (Rose Gold and Pink Quartz swatch almost identically), and none of the lips were very interesting after all. I was disappointed and left empty handed!
1/30/12 4:09 Gabi:
First I just have to say I am obsessed with Rose Gold jewellery so I got extremely excited when I saw the Bobbi Brown Rose Gold collection 😉
I must get my hands on the collection asap! I am extremely fair (and I mean, Snow White aint got nothing on me!), and I get red cheeks very easily…However I also look sick when I wear anything beige or yellow.
Which one do you think I should try? I usually stick to pink but I dont want to overdo it with my pink cheeks… -
1/30/12 14:31 Samantha:
Muse, you look simply gorgeous! The Wild Rose pairs beautifully with the subtle lips and eyes. I have an olive complexion (medium/tan in BE, nc35 in Mac) and also had my heart set on Wild Rose but after seeing the entire collection in person at Macy's BB counter, decided on Rose Gold which is just a tad more subtle for daywear. Also got the new shades of Rich Lip Colors in Wild Rose, Nude Rose, and Pink Peony. They're so very beautiful with the Rose Gold shimmer brick!
2/3/12 13:34 the Muse:
aw shucks thanks Samantha I think Rose Gold would rock on olive skin ;-D I thought the colors of the lipsticks were a bit off for the collection though, know?
1/31/12 9:23 jody:
Here is my problem with being a maniacal MSF collector. I have a bamillion of them and other highlighters. It has been so hard resisting the pull… I must stay strong. Then the little devil on my shoulder whispers, "psssst! You don't have any shimmerbricks. Lookie at how they shine and lookie at the pretty colors"
You do look gawgeous. What are you wearing on your lids? The color is sooooooo pretty!-
1/31/12 16:38 the Muse:
aw shucks thanks jody, a shade from the clinique strawberry fudge palette from last christmas ;-D I'm the same, I always tell myself NO more highlighters but I'm so tempted by all that glitter!
2/1/12 0:58 Christina:
Ooooh muse!! I wanted to get only Wild rose, but now i think i will have to get Rose gold too. I love your application! My best results with the shimmerbricks are this: I apply bronzer to contour (or leave this step out), blusher right on the cheekbone I think where you applied it, and with a different blush the shimmerbrick (wiping in it twice or three times) on top of the cheekbone (which overlaps with the upper half of the blusher and goes slightly above). Also, I apply the blusher on the apple of the cheek and blend backwards, and the shimmerbrick I start at the outside of the eye, get the most product there, and blend inwards. I think its the lovely BB MUA who showed me this. I never feel so pretty as when I apply it this way :)))) Also, it looks lovely on photographs as long as I do not swipe the highlighter on more than, say, twice on the face.
oooohh I want those shimmerbricks :)) my favorite highlighters. I think I have 5 already 😮
Muse, what do you say about the Estee Lauder gelee highlighters in comparison to these? They look lovely, i saw them here on your site for last year and you said there would be new ones this spring.. curious, but if i have to choose I'll stick with my shimmerbricks thanks Muse!-
2/1/12 12:45 the Muse:
aw shucks thanks I thought I went a little overboard Christina! I have to try your instructions, I can use all the help I can get applying these ;-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use a fan brush, it helps keep things mimimal as I'm very very heavy handed! Those are considerably different I reviewed the gelee highlighter a bit ago, you might want to search the archives, it's alot more shimmery and texture is kinda creamy…it's very nice! 😀 they have a bronze one for spring. But the two products are quite different imho
thanks for the tips christina so helpful!
2/2/12 1:10 Christina:
thanks for the comparison, dear Muse!
2/2/12 8:56 the Muse:
my pleasure
2/1/12 1:01 Christina:
p-s- the model on the BB promo wears a colour called Desert Pink from what I read, with wild rose on top. It's an interesting blush, very muted. Coincidentally the BB MUA recommended this to me before Christmas. It's a drastic change for me as I only wear very bright corally/pink blushes normally. I will have to see if I like this one better on myself with the Wild rose highlighter
2/1/12 12:42 the Muse:
me too Christina, I wear popping pinks on my cheeks and corals ;-D I'll have to pick it up as I wanted subtle under the Wild Rose Shimmer Brick, as too much pink overdoes the look, as you can see I went overboard in this photo ;D
2/2/12 0:44 Christina:
I tried the Desert Rose yesterday -without the Wild rose highlighter, for now. I think this will look extra nice with little spring cardigans and skirts, actually. I like it way better now than I did in the middle of winter 😀
Can't wait to go to the BB counter!!
2/2/12 8:56 the Muse:
I need to check it out now christina, I don't believe I own that shade already ;D!
2/5/12 21:50 Vail Valley Girl:
So, I went to Nords yesterday wearing Plum Shimmerbrick from two years ago. I had them apply it on. I was told that I could wear it. This artist is good. I will come back another day and have my favorite artist apply it without any blush and then see how it looks.
At first glance, I like it better than the regular rose shimmer brick. It does not have the white in it. -
2/26/12 20:24 Melinda:
They look so pretty on you! I tried Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer a few days ago and the SA completed my look with one of these shimmer bricks. I didn't pay attention back then but at home I realized it looks pretty. I think it's Wild Rose 😀 I have to get it really~

Doctor Joke
And you thought lawyer jokes were bad...
A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second.
On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible.

It is absolutely imperative that in all of the sports we engage in , we, without hesitation, play by the rules; we take care to understand the rules.

As golfers, we are ruled by the rules. Lord knows there are all kinds of rules in that game.

Chocolate Sings
One day I had a date for lunch with friends. Mae, a little old lady about 80 years old, came along with them--All in all, a pleasant bunch. When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Mae who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate."
I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. "Along with heated apple pie," Mae added, completely unabashed. We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time. But when our orders were bro ught out, I didn't enjoy mine. I couldn't take my eyes off Mae as her pie a-la-mode went down. The other ladies showed dismay. They ate their lunches silently and frowned.

The entrance opens, and two men walk up the aisle, dressed in pilots' uniforms - both are wearing dark glasses, one is using a seeing-eye dog, and the other is tapping his way up the aisle with a cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin; but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is forthcoming.

Finally we've got Locke's review of Sony's much yawned about PlayStation classic, Legend of Dragoon. Y'know, I've never played the game, and with all the reviews claiming its mediocrity, I don't think I will. Oh well, my loss. But this review is your gain! Get it here.
That's all for today, but don't cry, no don't cry baaaaaybeeee. We'll have another update soon, and it will be Personariffic!

Abstract | A highly informative report on Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands, We Need Two Worlds is a clear and well-structured dissertation which presents a considerable amount of new material to existing knowledge of Chinese associations and their role in the Netherlands. The situation in Amsterdam is comparable to Chinese societies in other major cities, e.g. New York and London. This comprehensive study will help Western students, academics, civil servants, politicians and journalists who have an interest in Chinese culture to gain a better understanding of the significance of their associations. It also illustrates how Chinese immigrants live together and operate within a western society. |

I recall when I was in high school that it was time to seek my first job opportunity and so {following in the footsteps of my brother and sisters} decided to apply at McDonalds. The first time I applied the store manager
asked me the proverbial question: "why should I hire you?" My response: "because I need the money." Wrong answer. The following year I applied to the same place and this time when asked the same question answered "because I can get the job done." Result: hired. I only worked for this particular franchise for one summer because another store {closer to home} was opening and it was owned by the franchise owners who had employed my siblings. With the small amount of experience I had attained {at the previous store} I was actually able to take charge of the rookie grill team and pull order out of chaos. This eventually resulted in my promotion to "swing" manager when I transitioned from high school to college {1981}. A "swing" manager is
essentially someone who will manage any shift {often times with little or no notice}. Exploitation of my services was the furthest thing from my mind as the goal was to earn enough money to pay for college. My coworkers were all my age with the exception of the "day ladies" who worked the morning shift. The commonly accepted idea was that this was a temporary stepping
stone to better career opportunities once you graduated from college. I would certainly agree however that my experience at McDonalds allowed me to utilize some of the talents and abilities I possessed by exercising various
skills in particular situations. In other words; it wasn't all just about "flipping hamburgers." One time the owner of the franchise put his hands on my shoulders {while I was seated} and stated "I want this man paid $4.00 per hour." It never happened and I spent the remainder of my time there earning just a smidgen above what the crew earned.
Today we recognize the dramatic demographic changes that have occurred in the fast-food industry {over the last 30 years} with most positions being filled by adults rather than their teen-age counterparts. Consequently the
industry has transformed from being a "temporary stepping stone" to a full time career opportunity that still pays very little relative to the profits posted by McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's {now comically referred to as
the new "Big Three"}. One could argue that there is very little opportunity in our economy for someone with a high school diploma {or perhaps no diploma at all}. It could be further argued that economic opportunity has been so slimmed down that these types of retail jobs are the only ones available and it will {in all likelihood} be that way for a long time to come. In the meantime people employed by these companies still qualify for public assistance because of the low pay and lack of medical benefits. We also read daily of the failure to teach people to read and write upon graduating college not to mention high school. If this whole situation doesn't smack of a deliberate and carefully planned booby-trap then I don't know what does. Accordingly I am in favor of increasing the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour at restaurants such as McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's as well as the provision of medical benefits. There is no evidence that doing so will cripple these major chains in any form whatsoever. It may reduce the amount of money flowing into the top of these companies but it is doubtful that it would alter their lifestyles. Of
course there are those who will argue that the price of the food served will increase and result in less business and therefore less employment. But this is the accepted thinking of a outdated paradigm. Even Henry Ford was
wise enough to pay his workers more so they could afford to buy his cars although {in this case} a diet consisting primarily of fast food has been proven to be unhealthy. No the major chains can "afford" to increase the pay of it's employees without having to increase the price of it's food. So let this be written so let this be done.
The individual stores (franchises)of these fast food companies (e.g. MacDonald's, Wendy's, Dunkin Donuts, etc.) are owned by individuals. The owners of the stores pay the salaries of their employees. As minimum wages increase, the profit margins of the stores are directly impacted. The costs to the owners of these stores are now also being impacted by the Affordable Healthcare act. Years ago, the fast food chains hired part time people mostly teenagers. These jobs were never really intended to pay enough money to raise a family. They were considered to be entry level jobs for people who would move on to better paying jobs. However, it now seems that as many of the better paying have gone overseas these entry level jobs may become more important to those who cannot get better employment elsewhere. We will have to wait and see where this all goes.
On August 29th, 1000 protesters were out on the streets to try to get companies to raise the minimum pay of fast-food workers to 15$ (almost 150% of what minimum wage currently is). What I found truly astonishing in this article was the fact that the minimum wage has not been changed since 2009. Knowing that inflation grows between 1 to 3% each year, this means that minimum-wage workers have been loosing money for the past 4 years! Lets say that the average minimum wage worker works 40hours a week at 7.25$ an hour, 50 weeks a year. That means 14,500$ a year. Although, the 7.25$ minimum wage of 2009 is now only worth 6.96$ (http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi). What they could buy with 7.25$ in 2009 now costs them 0.49$ more but they make 0.29$ less! Talk about a major loss in purchasing power parity. I believe that these protesters would be more successful if they tried to get the minimum wage adjusted to inflation rather than demand for private companies to raise their salaries.
Inflation measure in the states is a joke. It's probably closer to 5% per anum.
In any case, the cost of living is going up much faster than 'inflation'.
Bah, this is stupid, there is no movement of people concerned about "inequality" its just the SEIU trying to take a cut of fast food workers wages like they do in other industries. Not that they've helped anyone, but they certainly have collected alot of dues and thats all the modern labor movement cares about...
This is a part of a larger problem. Automation of the American and Global Economy.
With many jobs being Automated, we have no need for many of the Middle Class jobs being filled by employees/ Human beings. Now, we are going to see a huge rift in job market between high paying jobs that take years of education and low paying low wage jobs that don't pay well yet.
As more and more people look toward low-wage jobs to feed their families and to survive, there are going be more strikes. These low wage jobs are indicative of the past, people weren't expected to survive on these jobs but now due to Economic changes they have to. Its distressing but very interesting at the same time.
"If the cost of labour rises, firms may use less of it."
Then who are they going to sell to?
We have a global crisis of demand, with disaster being kept at bay by soaring government debts which replaced soaring private debt. If they don't get it and can't solve it, those at the top in business are not earning their massive pay.
Makes one think the only smart American business man was Henry Ford.
Fast-food condemnation. Wafting for a bus in the Dutch town of Haarlem I usually take a hamburger from the Burger King. I used to pay one euro now I pay one euro seventy five, this within a year. I think you call this inflation.
It's what human beings think of as inflation, just not economists.
It's wishful thinking in believing government can solve poverty, ultimately wealth is relative. Did those protesters tried to address price wages spiral or deadweight lost associate with subsidies?
It's true in fast food and in general there is people promoted from entry level to managers, but untold truth is most won't make it. There can't be managerial jobs (good jobs) for everyone because cooperate hierarchy is a triangle and demographics isn't. You can't create more supervisory positions without adding more subordinates, there isn't an infinite pool of young, immigration can act as a substitute, but how long can it last, you'll run out of people eventually.
Apart from in very special circumstances, if the price of a good or service is artificially raised (say by a government edict - or by government giving power to a monopoly or cartel)then demand for the good or service will fall.
The labour market is no different - if the price of labour is artificially raised (no increase in productivity) by government "minimum wage" edicts or by government backing of union efforts to a monopoly seller of labour services (and the unions have been government backed in the United States since the legislation of the 1930s - actually starting in 1931 under Hoover, even before the Roosevelt era Acts) then the demand for labour will fall. "Empirical studies" disputing all this might as well dispute that 1+1=2 or that A is A (they simply show the limitations of empiricism).
The campaign this Economist magazine article covers is about INCREASING UNEMPLOYMENT - the people behind this campaign (not the rent-a-mob on the streets, but the university trained activists in their nice offices) know perfectly well that unionisation (and so on) will increase unemployment. Indeed that there is part of their objective - both as a "price worth paying" for more union dues being paid, and as part of a "Cloward and Piven" approach to increasing government dependency.
Page 527 of the December, 1916, issue of National Geographic Magazine described a basic living wage. Interpolating that definition to today would imply an income (in the US) of around USD30K. That's about USD15/hr.
Google tells me that a US couple (not elderly, no children) would not have to file an income tax return if their earnings are less that USD20K. It seems that wages are only part of the calculus: Tax law should also be revised to allow the deduction of those basic expenses reported nearly a century ago.
$15/hr? Say goodbye to the dollar menu!
Actually, a Big Mac would only cost a few cents more if these wage increases did occur.
However, Franchisees would get hit hard. McDonalds Corporate would more or less be okay.
I hate to sound like a snob, but, given the fact that the last two of its CEOs died by eating their own food, someone would have to pay me to eat at McDonalds.
McDonalds and similar restaurants have killed more people than WWII
You seem to control your urge for a big mac. Why can't others? McDonalds does/did not kill people...People's poor choices of lifestyle can kill them.
When the McDonald's workers go on strike, the nation eats better.
This is a really complex topic. But... given the fact that junk food is generally very bad for humans, and given the obesity epidemic we're facing, maybe a higher wage leading to more expensive burgers wouldn't actually be a bad thing at all? Maybe people might start buying vegetables, cooking at home, and consequently enjoy a major improvement in their health.
Just a wild, crazy idea.
Ya! Who cares about the family in poverty that doesn't have time to cook at home or the funds to purchase the food you want them to. They can just go hungry, another way to cut down on obestity!
Penalties on junk food from taxes to raises in prices affect the poorest Americans. Many people who claim your position have a great mother or spouse that cooks healthy meals and goes to the grocery store every week and spends about 100$ to do so. Many people who go to McDonald's enough for price to have any impact on their buying habits go to feed their family for $50 a week. No one making 50k a year going to McDonalds once or twice a week will be affected if a burger goes from $3 to $5 but a single mother with two or three mouths to feed will.

How is it then that poor peasants in the countryside who only have raw foodstuffs manage to feed the kiddies on a smaller budget? Nobody sells 10 kilo sacks of rice n beans in inner cities. Damn sight cheaper than a big mac.
As stated in this article the minimum wage has gone down in purchasing power and relative to average wages.
The minimum wage was $1.60/hour in 1968 when average wages were $5572/year. Minimum wage would be $12.94/hour if it was the same percentage of today's wages as it was then. When compared to average wages the minimum wage was the equivalent of over $12/hour for a majority of the years between 1951 and 1970.
It was relatively easy to find a minimum wage job when I was young. Raising the minimum wage didn't hurt job prospects when it was around $12/hr.
Yeah, back then it was easy to find a minimum wage job... in a far better economy. Obama's "recovery" - lowest labor force participation rate ever - means it's anything but easy...
hmm, let's double the labor costs of an item, I'm sure that won't drive up the price. Oh wait...
Labor costs in fast food are about 20-25%. I am only one consumer, but my price elasticity for fast food isn't that great. If the cost of a 20 piece McNugget goes from $4.99 to $5.79, I doubt Ron & Co. will notice any change in my patronage.
It doesn't sound like much - to pay $1.25 versus $1 for various fast-food items - but, in the aggregate, it would significantly deteriorate demand.
As it is, fast-food prices aren't far from low-end sit-down restaurant prices, for example.
$15/hour is unrealistic. That's higher than most low-skilled construction jobs, wich generally pay $10 to $12/hour. I hardly think flipping burgers is worthy of higher pay than the back-breaking work of brick-laying or hanging drywall.
True - the $15 figure is pretty ridiculous. I've heard that they support this wage because it's the average wage for a skilled worker... I'm wondering, what's the purpose of getting skills if you can still earn more at McDonald's?
Correct me if I am wrong, but has Ronald had a metrosexual makeover?

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that I ordered (and received) the Home Mat. I have been decorating cakes for just under a year, as a hobby, for family and friends. I have used The Mat 3 times and have to say this is the best decorating tool that I have purchased. I really enjoy working with fondant and The Mat has taken all the guess work out of how much fondant to use and eliminated having to constantly measure the size that I've rolled out. I love The Mat and am so happy I ordered it. Greatest invention ever! Thank you so much.
Kind regards,

According to foodservice market research by The NPD Group, foods high in sugar content or fat have been ordered less frequently at restaurants over the past 10 years.
NPD's Crest service, which continually tracks consumer usage of commercial and non-commercial foodservice, has found a decrease in the consumption of regular carbonated soft drinks, hot dogs, fried chicken and French fries. Simultaneously, some foods that could be considered healthier (lower in sugar and fat) have been ordered more than in the past, including milk, grilled chicken and grilled chicken sandwiches, non-fried fish, breakfast cereals, fruit and yogurt.
"This shift in consumers choosing healthier foods at restaurants is partially due to the increasing availability of healthier foods on restaurant menus," said Bonnie Riggs, restaurant industry analyst at The NPD Group. "Restaurant operators are responding to their customers' needs for healthier or lighter foods."
According to NPD's "A Look into the Future of Foodservice" forecasting report, consumer demand for healthy/light foods at restaurants will continue to grow over the next decade. For example, servings of healthy/light sandwiches, one of the food groups under the healthy/light category studied for the report, are projected to grow by 13 percent over the next 10 years. Included in the healthy/light sandwich group were grilled chicken and fish, turkey, cold cut combos, tuna and chicken salad, and veggie sandwiches.
"Today the heaviest buyers of healthy/light sandwiches are consumers ages 18 to 34," Riggs said. "However, it is consumers 50 and older, who are the most health-conscious consumer segment, who will contribute the most incremental servings in the years ahead."

The Borough Waterfront Plans, issued in conjunction with New York City's Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, present detailed analyses of 22 waterfront "reaches", or study areas. For planning purposes, the city's waterfront is divided into 22 reaches, reach being a nautical term for a continuous expanse of water. The reach designations are based on common land use patterns and natural features, physical boundaries and community district lines. In most cases, the depth of the study area is limited to blocks fronting on or near the waterfront. However, wherever significant land use changes are considered, the studies examine broad upland areas to assess the implications of change on the waterfront. Each study describes the history of the reach, examines existing conditions, identifies waterfront planning issues, and recommends actions for achieving the goals articulated in the waterfront plan.
The waterfront plans balance a broad policy perspective with local conditions and aspirations. Concurrent analyses of citywide waterfront issues, such as maritime industry trends, and local waterfront concerns, such as the suitability of a particular site for redevelopment, ensure that the plan benefits from an understanding of broad policy objectives and local realities. In this respect, the local waterfront studies both inform and are informed by the citywide policies articulated in the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan. They provide the necessary building blocks for developing a comprehensive understanding of the city's entire 578-mile waterfront.
The borough plans, like the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan itself, are organized around, and seek to balance, the goals associated with the four principal functions of the waterfront:

Princess Elsa Dress Is The Must Have Item
by Chris Malone
posted Apr 16 2014 5:45AM
Remember when "Tickle Me Elmo" prompted people to trample each other? The newest "hot toy" is here-- and parents are forking over thousands of dollars for it. It all stems from Disney's
, which is now officially the top-grossing animated film in box office history. Little girls are all asking for Princess Elsa's blue gown, and parents are scrambling to find it. This has led to people sewing their own versions of the dress and selling them on Etsy and eBay for a thousand dollars or more. One mom told
, "I didn't realize this movie was going to be such an obsession. We saw this film and then out of nowhere, she wanted all this stuff and it was unavailable." One toy retail expert says, "You just can't get it. It's really sold out and it's probably the hottest thing out there right now."

Alice returns
Movies | Strong performances and humor lift Tim Burton's dark Wonderland
Now that the glow of Avatar is fading, director Tim Burton steps up to the plate with another 3-D extravaganza: Alice in Wonderland. A comparison between the two films is unavoidable, not least because Alice earned $116 million in its opening weekend, handily beating the 3-D record of $77 million that Avatar set only months ago. But it's also due to the two films sharing the promise of transporting viewers to magical lands full of astonishing sights.
On this score, Burton's signature spookiness doesn't quite match up to James Cameron's sweeping neon, in part because we've seen this sort of thing from Burton before. While 3-D does give his effects a little more punch, the twisted trees, grotesque creatures, and sinister castles on display here are the same ones audiences saw in Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and other Burton films. They still look cool, just not surprising.
Where Burton's film, which imagines a teenage Alice returning to Wonderland, triumphs is in its humor and performances. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Stephen Fry bring such infectious originality to their roles, they're impossible to resist.
Notoriously eccentric in his approach to creating characters, Depp seemed a perfect fit for the Mad Hatter, and he is. But while his Hatter is certainly mad, he is also much more. Depp gives a depth and sensitivity to the Hatter that while unexpected never feels contrived. So too does Fry display a world-weary cynicism that fits well with the Cheshire Cat's enigmatic nature. But the queen of this ball is Bonham Carter, playing giant-headed royalty. As the Red Queen, Bonham Carter brings such loopy hilarity to the role that she almost-though not quite-undercuts the sense of foreboding lurking behind every corner in Wonderland.
Lewis Carroll's classics Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have always stood out from other children's works for their dark, disorienting undertones, and Burton doesn't shy away from these qualities. On her return, Alice still encounters creatures full of jagged teeth and monarchs eager for her head, and the caterpillar still blows smoke from his hookah into her pretty face. In addition to these customary menaces, the now 19-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) must also avoid the advances of the oily Knave of Hearts (Crispin Glover).
It may all be a bit much for very young or sensitive children, so parents should heed the PG rating. However, many children will adore this movie as much or more than Disney's 1951 animated version not least because it presents a far more conventional narrative than is typical of Alice in Wonderland adaptations-one that fans of franchises like the Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter will find familiar and enjoyable.
This brings me to my only major gripe against Alice's adventure. Setting his movie up as a sequel of sorts to Carroll's stories, Burton frees himself from following the expected route. And with that freedom he could have wandered down the most inventive and unusual roads, and indeed, in the spirit of Carroll, should have. Instead he chooses what is perhaps the most generic path in all of filmdom for our golden-haired heroine.
It seems that whenever Hollywood wants to show women displaying strength, it does so with what are traditionally considered masculine qualities. There's not necessarily anything wrong with an Alice in armor brandishing a sword-except that it's a cruel waste of an Alice. Carroll's Alice is impulsive and curious to a fault. She's also highly philosophical and intelligent. Given a girl with such intriguing traits, Burton turns her into an amalgamation of King Arthur, Prince Caspian, and a thousand other male heroes in literature and film.
How much more interesting would it have been to have Alice battle for the salvation of Wonderland utilizing her unique characteristics? If Burton and other filmmakers want to empower girls, perhaps, just once, they might show them how characteristics other than physical strength and agility are valuable.

Let's put it into context
Unfortunately I think that I've found myself in too many of those categories too often. If you are only in one...then you're probably fine. I'm not your financial adviser though...don't go into debt buying fabric!! Okay, maybe I am your financial advisor. LOL.
It has really helped me to start going through the yards and yards and yards of fabric that I have accumulated in one way or another. It's pretty sobering to take every piece of fabric you own into your hands and begin to reorganize it. It's the literal touching of the fabric that gets to me after a while. You know you have too much when you are tired of organizing your own fabric...and you LOVE to organize.
So let me put a bit of my stash out there....
these are my blues:
yep. it's a little ridiculous. Now it is true that I have far more blue fabric than any other color (although it is followed fairly closely by green!) but that is too much. How can I possibly use all of that and use what will inevitably join the pile at some point?
Honestly I think that I've justified a lot of purchases thinking that I will use the yardage to piece together backs. But that is all dependent on actually getting enough quilts made!!!LOL
I'm struggling to get the smaller pieces organized too. When you have enough scraps to fill over 6 of these drawers, you have a lot. 'nuf said.
And you might notice in the above picture that I am starting to put aside my fat quarters. I resisted this for years! I think, secretly I've always been offended that they are even sold that way...like you shouldn't be cutting up the bolt in more than one way. (sometimes I'm a very linear thinker!) But I'm LOVING having them separated. It gives me a much better idea of what is yardage and what is smaller pieces.
There is hope...
I've organized the red, pink, orange, yellow, green and half the blues at this point (haven't taken pictures of it all yet)
there on the second shelf you can see "all" of the greens. Why the quotes, Angela? Well, I'm so glad you asked. Because I have fabric sorted also by collection, by fat quarter, by scraps, by solids and by bundles. Yep. Well...you did ask.
Here are the upper shelves which have yet to be disturbed...but they will be soon...because the fabrics are making their way up!
But I do have one little corner that I am pleased with and don't feel is filled with excess at this point. And that is my new little bookcase for patterns and books. But honestly even that could be paired down. Living in New Orleans for the last five years has made me think about what I would be devastated to lose if there were another flood...or at least what I would take in an evacuation. Too much of this would not be it. LOL. But that's mainly because it is replaceable. :)
The (somewhat delightful) insanity continues with my scraps of just KJR! LOL. That's what happens when you send out way more fabric than necessary for a bee and ask for it back...
So, for all of those participating with me. This is what I'm working with. It's about gaining control over this impulse to fill a room with fabric that I don't use and about really enjoying EVERY SINGLE PIECE I OWN. That is my true goal. I want to love everything so much that I'm just dying to use it. Otherwise...I probably don't need it...
So I'm going to start pulling through the fabrics soon and getting even more swaps going. I'll post what I'm willing to swap here as well as on Flickr. And even more importantly I'm going to make a concrete list of current and oop lines that I feel I love greatly or at least use greatly. Hopefully what is not my current love, may be one of yours!
15 comments:
Your stash is looking great, Angela! I love separating out my fat quarters, because so many of the quilts I make for the quilt ministry can be made with a selection of fat quarters, so it's simple to just look there first. Of course, mine aren't organized by color yet - yours look awesome!! Keep up the good work.....
ReplyDeletemy fabric stash is literally a fraction of what you have; however, i'm jealous that you have so many choices right there in your own sewing room!
as far as scraps go, this is what I do: I don't save everything! I jam it all into a drawer, and when that drawer is full, I cut them into uniform sizes. 5.5" and 2.5" squares. Of course, this pains me, because what about rectangles?! But, in the interest of SANITY I do it this way. Anything smaller than 2.5" x 2.5" gets thrown out. Some may call this wasteful-- or blasphemy-- but it's about doing what's practical for me. I love having all my little squares and I guess someday they'll all get together for one big quilt! In the meantime, I pick through them for pieces to use when I'm making random scrappy blocks.
Just thought I'd share.it all looks so pretty! I laughed when I saw your blues - I think I have about 3 times that many blues, with reds about the same! Mind you, mine are no where near as neat and organized as yours. I try - but as soon as the first project inspiration hits me, and I turn to my stash it's like a hurrican has come through! I have to avoid fabric stores as I am sooo an impulse buyer - if I love it I buy it! Dangerous! Especially when I was working in a fabric store!
ReplyDeleteHey guys, I plan on doing a number of posts on the way that I am organizing my fabric and going through my stash. But for the sake of those who've asked, I am actually folding my fabric around a comic book backer board and keeping it there to achieve a mini bolt. I'll give instructions soon though!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela, your stash does look great. Mine is not as organized, because I allways put the fabric with the projects I would like to use it in...After a while it is scattered all over the House..I´m acctually a person, that hates to cut fabric..Thats one of the reasons I tend to buy extra yardage of it...It´s like, hey I might need excactly this fabric in another project :), stuppid I know, but that´s how I think and feel ,lol ... "Stash-Talk" is an emotional subject anyway ;)...greetings Karin

Raised in Southern California, I'm getting my Master of Architecture at UPenn and am currently finishing an internship in Abu Dhabi. I'll be spending the second half of the summer traveling and, as I'll be alone and on a budget, thought AB&B would be a great way to meet people and save money.
I'm obsessed with anything to do with architecture or design and will be spending all day exploring every inch of city. I love to go out at night and have fun- but will be totally respectful of your [quiet]space and privacy. I'm looking forward to meeting some great people!

In reviews on this game, some say it works well on Android tablets, other reviews suggest it is only for the Android phones. Could anyone clarify this issue, as I don't want to buy it if it is only meant to run on phones. THank you for any help on this matter. Bill Thumbs up: 0 Thumbs up: 0 Reply Link to post
