Travel + Leisure’s “It List”

It’s here! Travel & Leisure magazine has listed its Top 50 best new hotels for 2012 on their “It List” and the choices are as varied in style as they are in price. But what caught my eye? The Corinthia Hotel in London, England… a dream destination indeed!  Travel  is divine and quite the luxury these days, but if I had my druthers, as they say, it would be England for sure! Yes, our neighbor across the pond is trending hot these days as her Majesty The Queen readies for her “Diamond Jubilee” and is just a heartbeat away from hosting the Olympic Games. It is, for me, the stuff of fairy-tales with Royal splendor, charming Princes, an ever alluring and fashionable Princess, the arts, the rich history, culture, the pleasures of an afternoon tea, and of course its overall style! I say, “what could be more appealing?“  oh, I know! A five star, opulent and luxurious hotel!…A girl can dream! (Well, that’s my dream choice anyway) but, truly the choices are endless to visit on this great big blue marble. So, why not let Travel and Leisure help you out with their well researched, and experienced choice destinations.

Here are just a few from the top 50, check out the full list here: http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/it-list-the-best-new-hotels/1

Olioboard is Awesome!

Hi there, sorry its been a while since my last post, part of my busyness has been, taking in all I can of my  new favorite website!….  http://olioboard.com I’ve recently shared with you how amazing both Pinterest.com and Olioboard.com are, and how fast  they’re growing in popularity. Let me just say off the top, both websites are completely addictive, and a lot of fun! But, the big difference between the two being; while Pinterest allows you to store your favorite images in  personal interests boards, then swap and share with other members,  Olioboard takes it a step or two further and allows you to use those images you love, by storing them in your “Olio library”, then basically become your own “Virtual Designer” dragging and dropping those images and loads of others you’ll find, to your own canvas of sorts, to create your own design.  I love the Olioboard community, filled with so many creative and talented people from all over the planet, and it’s not for Pro designers only.  I encourage you to give Olioboard a try and sign up…Olioboard is “Free” by the way!

Well, I’m extremely excited and proud to say that I’ve just won my first Olioboard contest! It  was sponsored by, “One King’s Lane” the online home goods store, which I’ve been a fan of for a while now. There were so many beautiful boards that were created for this contest, it’s a wonder how Olioboard’s CEO and Co-Founder; Sheilah MacSporran ever came to a decision, as she was the judge on this challenge, but I was ever so honored to find out that my “OKL”design board, named “Long Live the King” was the final “1st Prize Winner” for which, I won a $100.00 dollar gift certificate to the “One King’s Lane” store, as well as so many friendly and sweet compliments  from my fellow Olioboarders,  …as I said, I just love the Olioboard community!

This is my winning entry…So, what do you think? Come join me on Olioboard.com for some designing fun! You can find me under the name: asite2behold (AKA Ronda)
