Leete Hall 1922 at Carver High

I had no idea! I'd seen it at a distance but never up close until last Saturday. I was returning from Spivey Hall the long way, up Jonesboro Road through South Atlanta. A train blocked Hank Aaron at McDonough at University so I turned in.

This is the view you see in pictures, a Tudor tower on a little rise.

It's over the top in the very best way.



Carver High, George Washington Carver High School, is now the "The New Schools at Carver." But the main building we see today is Leete Hall (1922) designed by Alexander Hamilton and Henry White Jr.. In 1922 this was the campus of Clark University and Gammon College, now Gammon Theological Seminary I think. The colleges moved out of South Atlanta in 1941.

It's like a cathedral.

I was totally alone on the campus. It's not a huge place but I was overwhelmed.

I needed hours to spot the details.

Every corner deserved a closeup.

The backside is better than most front-sides.

Remarkable to see a cross on a school these days.

Flood insurance changes run into resistance

From AP:
Just a year after Congress imposed significant changes in the government's oft-criticized flood insurance program, howls of protest from homeowners facing higher premiums have coastal lawmakers pressing for delays that would preserve below-cost rates for hundreds of thousands of people in flood-risk areas.

What you need to know about boating and insurance

Summer is finally here! And it arrive before the Fourth of July - a rarity in the Northwest. Many of us like to go boating, especially with crab season now open. If you own a boat or rent a boat, you should consider boat insurance. Here's why:

Boating liability insurance in Washington state is not mandatory, but it's a good idea if you want to protect yourself and your passengers.  You can purchase boat insurance for a fairly reasonable price.  Coverage protects your boat from physical damage as well as your passengers if they're injured.  It also protects your boating equipment.

Check with the insurance company that covers your home and auto to see if it'll cover your boat, too. You could get a discount for having multiple policies with them.  If you're not sure what type of coverage you need, just ask your agent.  He or she can help make sure you're properly insured. Some small boats, like rowboats or dinghies may be covered under your homeowner policy - check your policy to be sure.

Here's more information about boating regulations in Washington state.

June Favourites Video & Post!

I went through my stash and pulled together 6 products which I�ve been using a lot obsessively over the past month!  I also filmed a video explaining just why I love these products, but had a bit of a wobbly half way through filming!  Have a watch if you fancy a giggle!

JUNE FAVOURITES1

June Favourites!

 
JUNE FAVOURITES2 

Kiko Glow Touch Lip and Cheeks in Ginger Touch � This has become my go-to lip product for daily use.  It�s a stunning ginger pink/peach cream which is super pigmented yet mosisturizing at the same time, which can be used on both lips and cheeks.  It also smells delicious and is just the most perfect summer shade.  I adore it apart from that fact that it�s really difficult to open!

Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Flash � You all know how much I adore multipurpose products and this is one of my new recent favourites.  This pencil eyeliner is a super shimmery pink which works beautifully as a highlighter.  I�ve been using this on the inner corners of my eyes to open them up, above my cupids bow, underneath my brow bone and even on my cheeks as a highlighter.  I really recommend this � it�s cheap and stunning.

MAC Blusher in Melba � I�ve worn this blusher almost every single day in June and I adore it.  It�s a peachy pink blush which really warms up my complexion and makes me look healthy.  It also compliments the Kiko lip cream perfectly.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri  Speed Dry Drops � For a beauty blogger � I am terrible at painting my nails.  They always smudge as soon as I do them (I�m quite impatient and fidgety).  I spotted this on Makeup Savvy�s blog and purchased it straight after, on eBay for around �4.  Simply pop a drop of this on each nail after painting and it halves the drying time. 

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer � After using up a sample tube of this, I decided that I needed to get my hands on a full size tub.  This stuff it gold dust to me, it leaves my hair incredibly soft and manageable compared to the matted mess that is usually my hair.  Full review of this coming soon!

Eysilix � The skin around my eyes have been sensitive throughout July because I have horrendous hayfever (need to stop rubbing them!).  I�ve been using Eysilix morning and evening around my eye area which soothes it somewhat, but also makes me feel happy that I�m doing my bit to stop fine lines/dark circles etc!

Favourite songs:

I�ve had two bands that I�ve been loving in July.  The first is Aluna George.  A boy made me a mixtape (I�m one for good old fashioned romance) with one of their tunes on and I feel in love with it and am now obsessed with all their songs.  I urge you to listen to them, I have a feeling they�ll get big!
http://youtu.be/VfCSx5641U4
Second is Rudimental� sounds like proper chavvy music but I really like it.  The songs are tuneful and instantly catchy.

What have been your favourite products in July?  Recommend me some new music?

Interview: Terry Kearns, Architecture Tourist by wanderlust ATLANTA

Travis Taylor is a dynamo who blogs Atlanta. I think he's trying to visit every interesting place and do every interesting thing around here. He hasn't done it all yet but he's way ahead of us. I'm in awe. Interview here.

I'd say wanderlust ATLANTA is THE online travelogue for Atlanta except "travelogue" isn't quite enough. Wanderlust is both a guide and an homage to great places right under out nose.


Here's Travis, blogger at wanderlust ATLANTA in the back yard of the Atlanta Preservation Center.

I met Travis online via his blog. We finally met in person at the First Church of Christ Scientist on March 8, 2011 for the Phoenix Flies tour. We've crossed path many times since online (I read every post) and in person when I'm lucky.

Here's the Interview: Terry Kearns, Architecture Tourist. We had a great time walking Charles Allen taking pictures for the interview.

Here are the questions:
  1. Why Architecture Tourist? How did you get started and what keeps you blogging?
  2. What�s your favorite aspect of the architecture discipline and why?
  3. If you could create a city block of existing Atlanta buildings, what would that block include?
  4. As a preservationist, what call-to-action do you feel is most important in saving Atlanta�s architectural history?
  5. You created a �Stained Glass Bucket List� for the 10th Anniversary of the Atlanta Preservation Center�s �Phoenix Flies� tours. Details?

Thanks Travis, see you around and at wanderlust ATLANTA.

Anti-aging products � Initial Thoughts!

QVC recently got in touch and asked whether I wanted to test out some of the products from a category in their Customer Beauty Awards and I said yes!  I chose the anti-aging category because now more than ever, I am very into skincare and treating it properly whilst I�m young, to help it age more healthily and gracefully.

I thought I�d give you my initial thoughts on the four products before the live show on QVC tomorrow night where they will be announcing the winner!

158148

Sarah Chapman Overnight Facial � This looks and feels super expensive, with a swanky bottle and pump.  I thought this would be a cream but in actual fact it�s a very pungent oil (it almost smells like men�s musk perfume) to me.  It�s packed with vitamins, omega oils, peptides and more to leave your skin refreshed and radiant.  Despite being an oil, it sinks in nicely leaving no residue.

Alpha H Liquid Gold � This was obviously the product I was most looking forward to trying as it is a firm favourite of a lot of bloggers.  I have been using this on alternate evenings before bed and when I awake my skin looks plump and firm.  My skin is also ridiculously soft after using this, making makeup glide on smoothly!

Decleor Aromessence Iris Rejuvenating Serum - This is the another oil based serum which smells highly of essential oils.  I really like that it�s 100% natural and free from mineral oils and preservatives but it is pricey!  I�ve also heard that essential oils aren�t great for acne-prone skin which mine is, so I might just stick to using this on my neck and d�colletage.

Perricone MD Concentrated Restorative Treatment � This night cream is packed with high levels of Vitamin C which helps promote radiant skin and helps to minimise discolouration (which I do have a slight problem with).  It apparently also helps lessen the appearance of wrinkles.  I�m going to pass this on to Mummy Snooks to try out as I know she loves using thick night creams.

My prediction: I think Alpha H should win here � it�s the most affordable of the bunch and the one with the most obvious and immediate results, however I know the others have a large following too so it�s a tough one!

As I said earlier, the winner will be announced on QVC tomorrow evening at 7pm but I�m planning to give these all a full test (with Mummy Snooks!) and possibly review my favs in greater detail after a few months of testing.

Do you use any anti-aging products?  What�s your favourite?

Makeup of the day�Silver & Black Liner!

The other day I applied my usual liquid liner makeup routine, but fancied doing something a little different!  Enter the new Rimmel Scandaleyes Cream Eyeshadow!

SILVER EYE3LOOK OF THE DAY 3 
LOOK OF THE DAY
SILVER EYE1

Products used -
Bobbi Brown Longwear Even Finish Compact Foundation
Rimmel Scandaleyes Precision Micro Eyeliner
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint in Mercury Silver
YSL Babydoll Faux Cils Mascara
Avon Supershock Gel Liner in Black
HD Brows Kit
Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow
Sleek Lipstick in Barely There

After doing my usual eye makeup I decided to draw a thin line of the new Rimmel Scandaleyes Cream Eyeshadow Paint in Mercury Silver above my black gel liner.  This is a intensely pigmented creamy shadow which can be patted on to the eyes and blended out to make a nice base or used as above, a slight line of colour above my usual liquid liner. 
It�s a really simple look but I love it, I think it�s really striking as people might not initially notice the hint of silver until you blink or close your eyes � easy yet effective!

There are 5 more shades in the range, including a purple and golden brown both of which would also work gorgeously (swatches and full reviews coming very soon)!

What are your thoughts on this simple liner look?  Do you like to experiment with eyeliner shades?
