As you know, December was a bad month for me. With all that going on, I've missed many things.

One of those was the kindness of Ivy, one of my blogger-sisters here at Creative Weblogging. She wrote a very nice presentation for Latina Viva in her blog, on December 09, and I just found it out yesterday.

I came across it in the right moment, when I was in need of some cheering up (and girl, this post made me happy), but I was sorry, because I didn't even get a chance to leave a comment back then, to say thanks.

So, I'm writing this post, and killing two birds with one stone: I'm apologizing and saying thanks to her, and I'm also introducing you (at least those of you who haven't heard of it) to a great blog, and a remarkable blogger: Ivy.

She is the writer of the fabulous "Are You A Beauty?" a blog full of "quality fashion, beauty, lifestyle, fitness, romance, makup and diet information. In fact, I write about all the things that might interest a trendy young woman."

And she really delivers all of that. Her blog is pretty, useful, and a lot of fun! I'm not a "trendy girl" per se, but I always find interesting post there, about subjects that matter to me. Here are some of my favorites:

- Taking your clothes off
- Girls just want to have fun
- 10 things to do before that party - Part I and Part II
- Get sorrows off your chest
- Feng Shui for your lingerie drawer
- Find perfect jeans without all the fuss

Go visit Ivy and you'll be delighted. And don't be fooled by the pretty-dumb-blond stereotype (yes, she's from Croatia and she is a blond beauty). Ivy has gone trough hard times during the last months, but she is smart and strong. She fought her way back to us, and I'm sure she'll be guiding us in the fashion world for many years to come.

Here's to you, Ivy! Thanks for everything! I wish you a New Year full of love, health and good friends. Cheers!
