mcmurray girl of 6 yearsby way of Wollongong New South Wales Australia

mcmurray momentsBeing an Aussie, I have found myself on ‘auto pilot’ a few times, driving on the left side of the road here instead of the right side! Or, even crazier, getting in the car and realizing I am in the passenger seat instead of the drivers seat and praying to god that no one notices as I walk back around the car to drive home!

excited about... the launch of a 5th new colour “Chocolate” to The Naked Tan Organic Sunless (spray) Tanning line I offer. It’s 100% Paraben, alcohol, talc & oil free & has 15% DHA & is great to try with summer just around the corner.

style philosophyFun, Chic, Classy yet approachable.

my adviceGet at least 8 hours sleep a night. It’s the best beauty tip that I can ever give. Also, swap your makeup to a Matte Finish. It has a longer shelf life in photographs and as we get older, it compliments our skin better for everyday.

must-haveShu Uemura’s eyelash curler, Napoleon Perdis Airbrush Foundation... and of course – shoes!

words I live byI am a firm believer in Karma: what you put out into the world is what you get back.

(March 21-April 19)

It’s all about you now, which is why your impulsive behaviour will reveal exciting new situations. You might suddenly fall in love. You might make new friends or meet a real character. Right now you want to be free to be who you are and do your own thing. You feel sassy, bold and ready for action. (Actually, this is a great frame of mind to shop for wardrobe goodies. Perhaps it’s time for new shades or a summer chapeau?) Hey – it’s okay to grab the baton and run with it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

So much is going on behind the scenes right now. Some of

you are dabbling (or maybe a lot more than dabbling) in secret

love affairs. Others are hatching plans or working behind the

scenes. Whatever you do could (hopefully) boost your income

in the future. You feel you are moving more directly toward

some of your goals, which were stalled in the water in the

last month or so. It’s nice to get these things back on track.

Just be patient. Slowly, slowly. The Little Engine That Could.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a lovely, popular time. Enjoy hanging out with friends,

especially in group situations. You might energize a group

of people or lead them in some way. This is a great time to

promote the creative activities of others or to help them bond

together for a common cause; but you might have a power

struggle with someone about shared property, debt or how to

use the resources of others. Oops. Take time to define your

hopes and dreams for the future. You gotta have a plan, Stan.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re high viz. right now. People are impressed with you and

you’re not afraid to assert yourself. For one thing, you feel op-

timistically ambitious and your optimism inspires others to go

along with your plans. They believe in you which is why you’re

leader of the pack! You feel independent as well, which might

make you break with others, perhaps even to the point where

you quit your job or break relations with a partner. Some might

develop a crush on an authority figure.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Sudden travel is likely or conversely, travel plans might change.

Something unusual could occur with publishing and the media or

anything related to higher education, medicine and the law. It could

be a breakthrough or it might even be shocking news. Romance with

someone from another culture or a different country will blossom for

some. Others will impress groups, especially by suggesting new ideas.

You need a change of scenery!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re involved in shared property, taxes, debt and handling or

defining your relationship to the wealth and resources of others.

You might encounter a few surprises here but you’re not going to just

sit back and let anyone roll over you. Oh no. You will defend your turf

and your best interests and you might even defend the rights of some-

one else as well. You feel confident, dare we say cocky? (We did.)

An unexpected gift or advantage might come your way. Lookin’ good!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Big reminder right off the bat: Get more sleep. Four planets now

oppose your sign and one of them is the Sun, your source of energy.

However, professional partnerships, intimate relationships and close

friendships will hold a few surprises. Someone might demand more

independence and freedom or the two of you might even redefine the

relationship so that you have more breathing space. For some,

something unconventional might take place. (Two is company,

three is an orgy.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re determined to get things done. You have the energy, the moti-

vation and focus. Don’t waste this blessing. You can positively influ-

ence groups now and help them with the introduction of new technol-

ogy. A work-related romance out of the blue might happen. Continue

with your efforts to buff your bod. Travel for work and dealings with

foreign countries are likely. It’s a positive month! Yay me!

(780) 715-7147SUITE 108-19 RIEDEL ST

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a fabulously creative time. You’re excited about life because you

feel vibrant and alive. Spontaneous vacations, surprise flirtations, social

invitations and opportunities to explore the arts or sports events will

bring excitement and variety to your life. So much is swirling around you,

your life is rather dazzling right now. “I want to play!” Romance and love

affairs are blessed. Go do that voodoo that you do so well.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are either focused on home and family or cocooning at home or

both. Some of you might bring home high-tech toys this week. (Big

flat-screen TV? New computer? A robot that vacuums your floors?)

Spontaneous entertaining might occur. (Stock the fridge.) You continue

to focus on redecorating and renovating because you’re determined to

make your digs look fabulous. Hey – you’re not trying to keep up with

the Joneses, you are the Joneses.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re hustling! It’s all about short trips, surprise visits, interactions

with siblings and neighbours plus fascinating, interesting conversations

with curious people. This keeps you stimulated and pumped! You’ll

love meeting new people and some will strike up a new romance.

If this happens, it might be short-lived but dazzling. This is a creative

time for those who teach, market, sell, write, edit and promote for

a living because you’re so persuasive and original.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s all about money and cash flow, isn’t it? (Or should I say cash

dribble?) Keep your eyes open because many of you will discover

new ways to earn money: a new job, a new way to make money on

the side or a new way to package yourself in terms of how you attract

money to you. Spontaneous purchases, especially for technology and

electronics are likely. Some cash flow could be related to travel, real

estate or family. You’ve got a finger in every pie waiting for something

to come out of the oven.
