Lady O has been in the news quite a bit lately. Before the Fresh Start Issue of O Magazine hit news stands, Oprah appeared on the Dr. Oz Talk Show. She's a natural in front of a crowd, so it wasn't a surprise to see her enjoying herself. There was even a time during the broadcast when she took time out to sip on a green health drink made of spinach, cucumbers, and celery. Besides sipping on the high fiber and low calorie mixture, Oprah shared some words of wisdom with Dr. Oz, the audience, a...

Estelle is the woman with the Thank You song that has women thinking twice about mourning over a relationship gone bad. She sings, "I wanna thank you for making me a woman" in a tone that is really expressing her acceptance of the fact that she has to grow up in order to really claim her womanhood status. In "Thank You", her lyrics seem to lead down a road of pain with little doses of joy along the way. Here is Estelle dressed in green hells and a strapless evening dress, attending The Art o...

The Queen was questioned by fellow Queen of the Talk, Wendy Williams who asked her about motherhood in a curious voice. She answered in her political beat around the bush voice. Here she is pictured in a green clingy dress along with Dolly Parton and Keke Palmer.

In this photo she does not look like a woman who has kids. That green makes her look heavenly, angelic and pure as white snow. All she needs to finish that look off is brides maids ...

Exercise your expertise by introducing new ways to share the knowledge. Here are the pictures that I promised to provide on yesterday. I went back to the basics on these. I know you probably can remember when your teacher asked you to write a report and create a collage about your summer vacation. That was always so fun for me I know that you always hear me mention what I learned from my mother, but this is going to be a shocker. Some of my best reported stories that I shared with my teacher...

Brand knowledge is a very important aspect of the selling game. If you want to sell products and keep people excited when new products hit the market, you have to actually believe in the products you sell. It's the mark of a good salesperson. Customers sometimes want to hear what you actually think about a product, when you are engaging in interaction before you close a sale. That's why taking the time to learn about your products is key. I've learned that every step along the way before the...

Bad girls can turn on their appeal in neutral colors and Angelina Jolie proved it at the Gloden Globes. How do you feel about white, creme and ivory? Creme and ivory are the type of colors that I consider to be safe and very soft. Creme is a very feminine color. There's a certain gentleness about it that is soothing and calming. Creme and ivory work well in fashion because they coordinate well with any color. Angelina Jolie wore cream with a little extra surprise for the skeptics who doubt t...

Alright, I'm all for that be yourself and live up to your own expectations stuff, but when fashion is involved and the celebs are stepping out showing off everything except their goodies, fans have a tendency to make comparisons.

Someone who we just love is Brandy, and I could not help but share a shot of this Cinderella Beauty with you. Brandy has been keeping it low key lately. However, she is still as big ever in the fame category.

Brandy and Monica killed it! The video also helped to add to ...

I've heard of taking Corporate America by storm, but some information I read recently made me think of moonlighting in a whole different way. Break down the barriers and limitations you put on yourself because the information that I will share with you today will change your life for the better or at least provide some entertainment.

How does that old saying go? I think I remember the phrase reading something like: Blonde's have more fun. That very saying is ringing true for a woman who is...

Our opinion leaders can be labeled as celebrities, hero's, mentors, or whatever you want to call them, but these are the people who are setting the trends and serving as a model in our society. Their behavior sends us messages and helps us to create an emotional connection with their story. What we see is who they are in the public eye. That's all we have to look at most times. If there is a message that we can get out of the entertainment provided to us, then their celebrity or popularity i...

Kate Moss recently celebrated a birthday (her 38th) and according to some reliable sources, she kept everything low key. Having dinner with her hubby (Jamie Hince) where the highly regarded posh crowd hangs out was included. The place for the most watched and stylish is a Japanese Restaurant called UMU. Anyway, we are aware that she attended the Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Show. Here she is pictured (with very little make-up) looking fresher than ever, and not a da...

Like King, I want to express my victory over defeat, by living it as I achieve. My stride never changes because the mission is clear, so I just keep going

The American Dream is just over there, although, I can see it more clearly at times, It really just depends on where I'm standing to weather life's storms or where  I'm at enjoying the view of my sunshine

The breeze still feels the same, unless it turns to a heavy wind and it is on my back, then it helps me, by...

Into going green because you care about the environment you live in? There are quite a few ways to get started on your green mission so that you can reduce pollution and minimize waste. Collecting cans is that old school way of doing something good for the environment while cashing in at the same time. You've probably seen someone walking down the street picking up cans before, if you live in a big city. Really, it's not an unusual sight to see, Receiving a little money is also a good way to...

The product featured here today is not only availab...

Paper, pens, and ideas, need to have a cute place to land as they come flying out of your cloud of thought. I've seen quite a few little journals up for sale at Barnes & Nobles that measure up in the cute category. However, the price tag and size can't compete with a collection of journals being offered under the Plan Ahead Brand. The Plan Ahead Jumbo Journals would surely be my first pick in any contest measuring style, affordability, and durability.  Take a look at this Jumbo Journal that ...

These days Dwight Howard is doing his best to play the game like only he could as the center/powerhouse of defense for the Orlando Magic. He has his own style of seriousness in the way he presents himself, but he also knows how to show a less serious side of his personality. How does he do it? First, he is not afraid to laugh or appear playful in front of a crowd. Behaving in such a way affects people in a positive way. For one, showing that type of attitude in public makes him more approach...

Have a love for the outdoors and a knack for piles of paperwork? Have I got news for you! It was viewed as a visual feast by some Readers Digest subscribers and going with that concept is easy. It is a sight to behold for sure. If you have ever wanted to remodel to add on that home office you have been dreaming of, you may be more anxious to start the process after you hear about an innovative idea that is being manufactured in the United Kingdom. Take a look at this structure that measures ...

We love doing steal the look here at Abornewords because there are always so many cool looks being pictured on the backs of celebs in their photo ups.

For every woman who has ever tried to avoid obsessing over every new cosmetic product that hits the market, you amy not be able to resist this one. What cosmetic product could possibly sway you to enter into the forbidden one of crazy about it can't live without it? I'll give you a few hints before I tell you. Does an obsession for color or a cherry on top ring any bells? What about school of hard rocks, cocktail bling, or size matters. Do any of those phrases mean anything to you? Well I sa...

Food aversions are not unusual. There will always be at least one member of your family who can't seem to wrap their mouth around something everyone else loves. It's true, for the family chef (mama, grandma, poppa, or you yourself) it can be pretty disturbing or even downright insulting for someone to gag at the thought of something you actually slaved over a hot stove to prepare.

The most important thing for you to remember is that the nutritional value of your food choices is what rea...

What time is it and who are you wearing when you stare down at your wrist? To some it may seem shallow if you choose an expensive brand over more frugal less expensive varieties, but the most important thing is to choose your products because of quality and the way they make you feel. Good energy equals happy feelings. Right now, I can't recall anytime that I have shunned euphoria. Keeping with the idea of an extremely high level of energy, I want to introduce a brand called Baume & Mercier....

Well I guess Bristol Palin (Sara Palin's daugther) is not living by Lady Gaga's words. Gaga's song The Fame talks about living for the material, having a taste for champagne, and just living for the fame. The exact lyrics that grabbed me and shook my being were sung by the Born This Way Monster as follows: "All we care about is runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles, give me something, I wanna be, retro glamour Hollywood yes we live for the Fame, Doin' it for the Fame".... Lyrics like...

Beauty tools, beauty products, fashion, celebrities and of course tons of other useful products and services is what we are planning to bring you this year in 2012.

The next best thing since Tweezerman is what we are calling the Sally Hansen Beauty Tools that are neatly packaged in see through luxe looking beauty trays.  Besides the branding the trays add to the presentation and make the tools look a little more fancy.    

Getting the ultimate make over is that one thing that can make you feel like a million bucks. Nothing is wrong with that either. A part of that high comes from letting go of something old and replacing it with something new. That feeli...

Before we go all in for the new 2012 with fashion, fixations, or otherwise, let us give you some of what we have leftover from 2011, as far as Jakarta goes anyway. There are outfits that you can't get out of your mind, and there are those that you just want to photograph so that the memory of what it is can be around forever. We can appreciate both situations because we value creativity in all forms here at Abornewords. We all have a story and we have something about us that makes us special...

Nicole Miller has officially given the word 2012 is a good year for sparkle effects. Sparkling in fashion can be shown in many forms, but it all really boils down to personal choice. Where can the sparkles appear? Let us count the way to show you the twinkle. Collars, belts, buttons, pockets, or sleeves can don the look of the sparkle. Having a glittery shimmer look throughout a fabric may be to much for some, but it really just adds flare. Sparkle or shimmer is not something that will overt...

It's here and we are going to let you feel our vibe like a rain that is not yet a drizzle but more like a gentle mist. Whatever sweet sounds you are hearing (in voice or in tune) none will measure up to the feelings of love or those some might call passion expressed in a song that is sure to increase the fandom of it's this well known artist. What's the name of this tune and who is responsible for bringing you this type of heat? She is the girl who grew up in this industry to become th...

The life of a Journalist seems so busy and it can take many turns career wise. Bait for the next story is always at the tip of the nose. That's the way it should be, if you are true to your writing or reporting craft. Newsworthy or not, the people want to know and someone has to be that voice to dish on hot topic occurrences that happen in this day and age. Politics is not dead, and we have not lost the urge to feed your political mind. It's just that we want to give it to you from a differe...

There is nothing like the feeling you get when you realize that God has blessed you with a special gift. Something that you can do well, but also a way to escape and find comfort and peace that no one can take away. More than ever this year, I found my voice and shared a lot of the things that mattered in one way or another. There were a lot of first, but mostly just a natural progression of improvements in how we delivered our content as a whole. To end the year, we just pray that e...
