Colors of Fall

      It is comforting to many when fall season arrives with the cooler weather, tree leaves turning color, and children going back to school. This season often brings fond memories of years past, of raising our children, warm home cooked meals and perhaps of close relatives’ home visits.  Kids will often bring home school projects, pumpkin drawings, and Halloween costume ideas and in general be very excited about the fall season. It is great to see so many parents participating with helping out their children while having some fun of their own. Many remember how great it was for them during this fun time of the year.  

      Now that the kids are in school many parents could take some time out for themselves.  When taking care of ourselves then we are then better able to care for our families. It would be great to at least spend an hour a day to exercise, plan activities for the family or even organize the home. When children arrive home later on in the day, we may feel more refreshed and better able to focus on them. Even if a person works; a day out in the week could be taken out for self-renewal and fun activity planning.

     During the fall season the family gets into their routine schedule and time management is very helpful. Today, many women take time out to read their favorite magazines, cook books, visit the gym and organize or decorate the home. There are many activities that not only make the home look great but also bring great joy. Today, even many men that are caring for their kids often take time to care for themselves while also planning fun activities for their children. There are many inexpensive ways to decorate for the fall season and many simple recipes for preparing great home cooked meals. We may often be surprised as to how easy it could with the use of slow cookers and healthy easy to prepare recipes.

     One easy decoration that many enjoy is the decorative small garden bench. These could be found easier during spring and summer and then decorated for yearly activities. For example in the spring the bench could be placed on a porch for decoration with a container that has blooming colorful flowers. Then in the fall as this picture here shows the same bench could be decorated for fall with artificial fall leaves or other fall season decorative art such as those for a fall harvest or Halloween for the kids’ enjoyment.

Decorating For Fall

    The fall is one of favorite seasons that help bring so many great memories. My children are now grown however I still take the time for fun activities and cherish watching so many enjoy the season. Here is a picture of my grandmother who would often receive us at her home on week-ends and close to the holidays. She lived to be 100 and I truly miss her cooking and comforting words of wisdom. This was in the Caribbean however regardless of geographic locations fall is always about sharing time with family and celebrating the coming harvest in the year. Here are some pictures depicting  the joyful colors of Fall.

Colors of fun in the fall season.

     Besides this two piece being one of the most classic bikini’s, Ursula Andress swimsuit also became one of the most expensive bikinis of all time. Many years after the film release and in February of 2001, the sexy bathing suit was offered at Christie’s of London auction for a starting  $60,000 opening bid.

     The bikini swimsuit sure has gone through a long yet always exciting fashion  journey. Since that time in swimsuit history many other designers have adapted the look and even recreated the style in other classic colors and shapes. Here below we have a similar yet fresh new belted bond style sexy swimsuit. Even the more modern comtemporary photographers of today like Oleg Covian image here still inspires in us awe and nostalgia in the attainment for that most perfect day in the most unique and great feel bikini swimwear.  

There are many in the swimsuit industry that pursue the hobby of bikini collections. Even more amazing are those that take pieces of old lace or antique fabric sequins and place them in photo frames to display in their homes on the wall. If you get to see a very unsual swimsuit it may end up to be profitable saving it for a collection.

Another factoid to note in this story is that the sun tan that Ursula had for the movie was a sunless tanner that at time did turn the skin a bit orange. The tanning products were not as natural looking as they are today. Rumor has it that the actress alternated with at home beach nude tanning to try and get a more natural look effect. Regardless, there is no doubt that she has been the most hot bikini girl in history. Today we have advanced so that we do not have to bake in the sun and have a spray tan as an alternative.
