Astrella Celeste – my daughter and a true music talent. I recently joined her on one of her special concerts in Los Angeles at Hotel Cafe. Her latest CD is called Blue Star. Blue Star embodies Astrella Celeste’s lyrical and relaxing spirit by fusing jazz, pop and country and delivers a sound that is uniquely her own. Personal, affecting and sensitive with a sweet, almost innocent quality, her songs express a beautiful, casual lifestyle where it’s easy to believe that any “Dream” can be brought to Reality.

When it comes to buying perfume for my wife Linda or for myself there is only one I would choose that would be sure to hit the spot. These are the perfumes created by master perfumier Mandy Aftel.
The art of perfume making is an ancient one and developed in a time long before the current reliance on the synthetic chemical industry. The scents and precious oils she uses have been developed and refined by nature over millions of years and they speak directly to the spirit of woman and man. Like music scents can be composed as notes to form individual melodies, which in the hands of a master perfumier such as Mandy can be matched to an individuals persona and spiritual identity. In these days of global concern it is time to reconnect with the essences of the planet itself as nature delivered them”. If you are going to make a gift to a loved one give something uniquely special that connects them to the planet itself then check out Aftelier Perfumes for a gift to be remembered for.

Astrologers / Life Coaches Andee and Aya are opening their practices to the greater community now – realizing the times we are in, and that everyone needs a little direction. I have seen remarkable results from even one reading,” says Andee – where a complete turn around is quite possible. Oftentimes, we know things aren’t going the way we want them to – but we don’t understand what is causing it – or how to address the issues in order to gain a more favorable result. Astrology – a 6000 year old science is very helpful in identifying these situations. Then it’s a matter of crafting a plan of action. That’s where we can lend our expertise. In more than 30 years of practice, I have seen people benefit in their business life, their personal life – their spiritual outlook.”

The music of True Blood has played an integral role in each season of the hit series. The fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana is brought to life through music supervisor Gary Calamar’s clever weaving of the music into the fabric of the show, and the current season is no exception. Calamar’s distinctive selections accent poignant moments throughout the series and those songs have been brought together in this collection.
