Zoe could be seen gazing contentedly out of the open window, sometimes with her eyes closed, while her glamorous mistress smiled serenely.
Fergie, 37, was sporting her trademark round sunglasses and top knot and accessorised with a pair of hoop earrings.

 

Husband Josh, 40, looked slightly irked to be on driver duty but soon perked up after he dropped Fergie off and popped into a Whole Foods supermarket.
The couple seems to have come down from a wild holiday, with Fergie recently revealling she likes to dress up as a naughty Santa for her actor husband every year.

What a surprise: The Black Eyed Peas singer is besotted her dog Zoe even though her other beloved dog Meatloaf passed away in April

She told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres: 'One day every holiday season, he comes home and there’s a naughty Mrs. Claus.'
'It depends how good he’s being!'
The California native has also recently denied she is expecting, despite being quite vocal about her desire to start a family.
She blames the rumours on some recent weight gain.

What's for dinner: The All My Children actor stopped off at Whole Foods for some goodies

Speaking on the Rachael Ray show, Fergie said: ‘People ask if I'm pregnant every time I fluctuate a few pounds. Like right now, I'm a couple pounds up.
‘Sometimes I go a couple pounds down and I wear the clothes that are more fitted, but people kind of look at me because they're expecting that it's that time.
'We do hope for children and that will be coming up, but it's not yet.'

The Tibet Mala for Getting Peace & Harmony from 108 Beads

The mala is string of 108 beads, which is used prayer or meditation. The mala is further acknowledged as Tibet mala. In Hinduism, the mala is used to enchant the various mantras. It is said with mala the person can focus more towards sacred mantras rather than calculating the numbers. Mala is said to be the virtual common belief in almost every religion and in major spiritual practices.

Mostly people prefer to take mala which is made from wood of tulsi, sandal and rudraksh. It is believed that the properties of these materials leave the positive impact on human mind. There is perfect reason behind the 108 beads in Tibet mala, it is said that in Hindu mythology there are 108 gods and on the other way Buddhists have 108 sin. The 108 names of god also intend the 9 planets and 12 zodiac signs completely. Therefore, 108 is the perfect number for these types of devotional purposes.

There is a particular method of holding the mala, one should hold the mala lightly in his right hand and the first bead which is also known as guru bead should be hold first. The guru bead it the largest bead in the Tibet mala. The thumb must be used for the bringing the sequent beads.

The Tibet mala is used by many people; the people use this Tibet mala for different intentions such as for getting a self satisfaction or to upsurge or to mollify.

The second major reason is to for doing sadhana in meditation. These types of soulful practice require lots of attention from the practitioner.

Why Buddhist Jewelry Makes a Wonderful Gift

A few of us are enthusiastic about Buddhist jewelry. And our trinket box has way more than just a single Buddhist necklace. You bet. Buddhist fans seldom quit at having one piece of accessory.

For us, it is very hard to ignore those whimsical Buddhist charms. Or, the stylish deep blue cameo Buddhist pendant. And we easily get tempted by the many fashionable looking Buddhist wing necklaces too. I know that a number of people decide to buy two, or even more of the same piece of accessory. The jewelry is so meaningful to them; they wanted to share it with another person. It is a lovely gesture to give a Buddhist necklace gift to someone. This individual can be a sweetheart, or perhaps a best friend.

Yet, there can be occasions when my Buddhist necklace goes to someone that I don't honestly know that well. I just reckoned that a little spiritual inspiration could make someone happy. I realize that in offering a Buddhist necklace or Buddhist pendant, I gain an unexpected gift in return. This really is the gift of joy. By that, I mean the bliss on some one's face, as she opens the gift in your presence. For some reason, Buddhist jewelry often seems to create plenty of delight and pleasure to my recipients.

Sometimes, tears flow. And I know, the gift has touched a heart. There are instances when a worrisome face brightens up, and problems just seem to go away briefly. During instances like this, I'm grateful my Buddhist pendant gifts had been able to provide some sort of solace. Ever wonder What makes an Buddhist jewelry meaningful? Well, it is the numerous elements that an Buddhist signifies.

Buddhists give unconditional affection. Items that can be absent in some one's life presently. If you know a friend needing a touch of love or care, you can offer some cheer. I would give her a Buddhist necklace which has a heart shape design. A Buddhist pendant that features a flying heart with Buddhist wings will also be idyllic. Do you know that Buddhists are also synonymous with peace and tranquility? They could help to create a feeling of order back into your daily life.

Tibetan Ring Style Buying Guide

The choice to purchase a Tibetan ring is easy. Tibetan rings are more durable than gold. They are a lot lighter than gold or platinum. Tibetan will not react with human tissue; that is, it's hypoallergenic. Finally, Tibetan will not react with most familiar corrosive substances, so it will maintain its appearance for a long time and last a lifetime.

Here are a few of the choices for Tibetan rings:

No Inlay or Inlay
as a consequence of the strength, it is an ultimate ring material to make a ring with inlays. Skilled Tibetan ring artisans have these days made impressive rings with gold, silver, exotic hardwood, mineral and gemstone inlays. These rings tend to be a little more expensive than the Tibetan bands with no inlays, but for those who want a truly magnificent and matchless ring, they should be considered. Tibetan rings with inlays can be less a little less resistant to ocean water and everyday chemicals, so suitable care must be taken when wearing a ring with an inlay.

Ring shape
many people who are adverse to wearing rings are that way since they have never had a ring that was comfortable to wear. Almost without exception, these people will wear a titanium ring with what is called a "comfort fit" profile. A comfort fit profile rounds the edges of the ring so there are no rigid points of contact on the perimeter of the ring and the finger. The other option is a flat shape. This is where the ring is not rounded on the corners. For the most part people these days find the round profile/comfort fit the best option.

Tibetan Band Finishes

There are four fundamental Tibetan ring finishes: 1) polished, 2) matte, 3) brushed, and 4) hammered. As you would presume a polished finish is the shiniest and most reflective. It's also the most attention-grabbing. Brushed titanium bands are more muted and much less reflective, often appearing the color of steel. Matte finish titanium rings are the most long-lasting in terms of maintaining the initial color and finish. Matte finishes, like brushed finishes, often have the color of steel. In conclusion, there are hammered finishes, which consist of multi-directional indents on the surface of the titanium ring. It is also highly durable.

If you've got it... flaunt it! Miranda Kerr makes her legs look even longer by slipping on nude heels

Well, she is a model after all.
And if a Victoria's Secret can't show off with witty repartee or a vertiginous IQ, they should surely be able to flaunt their vital statistics... after all, they don't last as long.
With that in mind, Miranda Kerr had her long, long, long (and slender) legs on show despite the chilly Hollywood day as she attended a meeting at the legendary Sunset Tower on Sunset Boulevard.

Mellow yellow: Miranda Kerr was a ray of sunshine in a yellow blazer as she shopped at Whole Foods in West Hollywood Friday

And she ensured her lengthy limbs looked even longer by wearing nude heels.
She also donned a yellow blazer that transformed into a walking ray of sunshine.
But Miranda has much to shine about.
The Australian beauty is not only one of the world's most successful models and businesswoman, she is also the wife of heart throb Orlando Bloom and has an adorable little boy with him - and she's not even hit 30 yet.
The Victoria's Secret beauty posted this triumphant Instagram picture of herself on Thursday that shows off her endless legs to a tee.

Legs Eleven... out of ten: We all know Miranda has great pins

Splash of colour: Orlando's wife was in full bloom as she ran her errands

Accompanying the snap were the words 'jump for joy' and it appears Miranda took it before she embarked on a shopping and pampering trip in Beverly Hills, California.

Wearing a striking red fedora hat and a short, slightly mannish grey overcoat, Miranda again did not seem to feel the winter chill against her bare legs.

Another reason that Miranda may have been looking so cheery was that it seems the rumours of trouble between her and husband Orlando, 35, have finally been put to rest.
Amid speculation that the pair, who have been married for roughly two years, had 'drifted apart', they attended a Christmas party on Wednesday looking very much en famille.

The couple, along with their 23-month-old son Flynn, were spotted arriving at a friend's house the day after Christmas and couldn't have looked happier - or more together.

US celebrity magazine In Touch claimed: 'Right now, they're separated and figuring out what they want to do next.'
But Orlando's mother Sonia insisted 'everything is fine' and that the British actor and his wife are 'very happy'.

Behind the wheel: Miranda flashed a smile from inside her luxury vehicle

And a source close to the couple backed up Orlando's mother's heated denials.
He told MailOnline: 'All these rumours are utterly false.
'They're spending the holidays together with Orlando's family.  Both have been working on opposite sides of the world, and it will be their first opportunity to spend some time together.'

What Are Tibetan Silver Beads

What are Tibetan silver beads? In fact, Tibetan silver is an elegant name of alloy---copper-nickel alloy or so-called pewter. Traditional Tibetan silver beads contain thirty percent of silver and seventy percent of copper. As the silver content is too low, so almost all the Tibetan silver beads on market are replaced by copper-nickel alloy completely now. Tibetan silver beads are very popular for the moment, and Pandora style Tibetan beads and jewelry charms are the most popular.

When we talk about Tibetan beads jewelry, most people will think they are from Tibet which is misled by its name "Tibetan Silver". Actually, Tibetan beads jewelries also can be made from some other places. As Tibetan silver beads contain other metals, the hardness is higher than sterling silver, and can be craved patterns on them, even some complicated patterns. They are always inlaid with real turquoise and red coral, and worth to be collected.

To some extent, Tibetan beads also convey a traditional cultural tint of Tibet. That is why the Tibetan jewelries look more mysterious and exotic. A quick look around the market, you will find plentiful Tibetan beads, Tibetan charms, Tibetan pendants, Tibetan toggles & Tars, Tibetan beads and some others in different colors, designs and sizes. They can be mixed and matched with other materials to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. There are also many Tibetan bookmarks which are very popular nowadays.
