I just heard that Wyclef has suddenly turned 40 years old…despite his birth year allegedly being 1972 and his true age allegedly being 38. Not that any of this matters but if you happen to know what's up with his age leave a comment below. I really would like some clarification.

Ok, so, Nelust Wyclef Jean is officially running for president of Haiti and I have to admit---I am a bit skeptical about his ability to efficiently run a nation.

January 1, 2010-Happy New Year!

February 9, 2010- Just how happy is this ‘new year’?

When 2010 came, I was excited and ready to start a new beginning. I claimed this year as mine, and, much like many other well-wishers, I decided that I would make this year better than the last.

Then an earthquake hit Haiti.

Hundreds of thousands have died. Without proper medical care, clean water and food, thousands more are sure to die in the aftermath of this quake. Although the earthquake was more than 4 weeks ago today, Haiti is far from the end of mourning the death of its earthquake-effected family members. Ironically enough, untimely death has become their way of life. This is 2010.

I was perusing the blogsphere today when I came across a very aesthetically pleasing site- jubella.com .  The site’s crafty design caught my eye and the posts, which focus on beautiful décor, lured me in. The editor of jubella.com definitely has an eye for beauty as all of her posts highlight incredibly lovely and intriguing décor. The images that she shares on her site are gorgeous and an inspiration to the artistic mind.

While on her site, I came across her post ‘Color Theory: Haiti.’ The images from her post, which I have also included below, are from Marie-Louise Fouchard’s and Roberto Stephenson’s book “Interieurs d’Haiti.” The striking pictures show a colorful and culturally artistic side  of Haiti.                                                                                                    

After Haiti’s recent earthquake, it is refreshing to see Haitian images that evoke happy-feelings rather than tears. Check out the images below to see beautiful Haitian décor. Enjoy!

The pink in the first room is so light, bright and relaxing; and the second room mixes pastels perfectly -- Gorgeous.

The turquoise is stunning. Perfectly juxtaposed against 

eclectic furniture, art, and nick-nacks.

Already the poorest Caribbean country in the Western Hemisphere and of the poorest in the world, Haiti has suffered a horrendous earthquake that is projected to leave tens of thousands homeless and an unknown number dead. Tuesday at about 530pm Port-au-Prince, Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake which caused devastation to a large portion of the island. The presidential palace is in ruins, hospitals and care units have collapsed, and houses all over the island have been reduced to mere rubble. The island is in shambles and the people are suffering.



Please keep Haiti and its citizens in your thoughts and try to think of ways that you can help. Even if you are able only to spread the word about the severity of the situation, please do so. The more who know and care, the more we can help. Please do not ignore this travesty or let its importance be overlooked. Haitians were unimaginably poor prior to this disaster and are in an even worst predicament now. Please help in any way that you can.
