September 30, 2007 BluDomain Soiree + Audrey Woulard Launch Date Announced
Join us all day today for a Blu Soiree- lots of contests- prizes - and surprise announcement!
* Why the soiree on a Sunday? Well it's simple. I love Buddhism! I believe in karma! Karma: the sum of a person's actions in one life, which determine their form in the next. I will tell you how BLU will continue to practice good karma in a few hours. It's a wonderful feeling to know that you will always have good karma in your life. Blu passes on good karma because we don't want the boogey man to jump out and bite us.
Blu is giving away ONE FREE MODERN 7- AUDREY WOULARD WEBSITE (to be in your INBOX on November 21st by midnight) + you will win all the goodies below today. Read about the launch of Modern 7- Audrey Woulard below this post.
$100.00 gift card to Nordstroms + the Collector's Edition of the SLINKY + the NEW Multi- Effect Mascara by Stila + Leatherman's Must Have Skeletool + Kate Spade 'coal - small manuella' cosmetic case.

Throw it all together in a saucepan and simmer!
2. The fact that men can wear hats without looking hideous keeps me from "hiding" this season's must-have Fedora's SHOP NOW MEN

Did you know that the first American President was in fact Peyton Randolph? Did you know that Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain on Earth? Available at all bookstores.
1. The allure of Apple's new iPod Nano makes me want to drop the pennies I have been saving just to spice up my life! What I love more is the song that makes me so happy in the new iPod Nano commercial "1234" by Feist. LISTEN HERE
3. A woman who has made a lasting impression on the music scene over the past three decades is back! Just released yesterday you must download the NEW Chaka Khan "Funk This".
