I saw this magazine in the office today and made an affirmation.... I must make it to the Caribbean in 2013!
Can't wait to put these boots away, head off to sunny skies & heat to loaft.... (Side note - these boots were such a steal $9.95 at Joe. My feet are super warm and I think their super cute!)
Just checked out the Joe site and saw these babies! Would love to pack these!
To get me inspired, I made a Soca/Calypso mix on Grooveshark.. Enjoy:)
Yesterday I blogged about remixes and covers and I'm continuing the theme this morning.
I heard the loveliest version of "O Holy Night" (one of my faves) produced and performed by a group of Calgary musicians.
I am blown away.....
Enjoy

If you've been an avid reader of The Creative Mixx, then you know that I LOVE music....
Here's something that you might not know....I've preferred the remix of a song more than the original on several occasions....
In fact, I think I prefer the remix of a song over the original on a "regular".
Here's a great example....
I'd rather listen to the remix of Ooh la la la (Fu-Gee-La) Refugee Camp Remix
than the original Ooh la la la
When I learned about a free app that makes it easy to discover remixes of songs in my library - I squealed!
It's called Remixes y'all!
Developed by a Calgary startup called Decoder, the Remixes app lets you select a track which then gets searched through SoundCloudfor available remixes and covers.
So, if you're looking to expand your music library or just love a good Remix, visit their site!
Here's a quick fyi onDecoder. They build mobile device and tablet products for cuttingedge startups and businesses across North America. They with Uppercut– a creative agency – for user

I can be super forgetful and lose things on the regular....
But, I'm trying to change that. It'seriously one of my "things to do" in 2013.
About a year ago, I had a brand spankin new iPhone.....for about a month. Then I lost it. Not sure where actually. I know it was on the morning of a weekday, (with my luck it was probably on a Monday).
Anyhoo, I think it slipped out of my pocket and dropped down the sewer. I have an iPhone 3gs as a replacement and although the screen has been cracked about 3 times, I still have it.
If I had the 4, 4s or 5 - I'd buy my self one of these from TMC Fashion Bags

We're 5 days into the month of December and I've already started to decorate my home for the Holidays. I bought a "live" tree on Monday night (love the smell of pine), decorated it last night and now I'm ready to make a Christmas shopping list.
I planned on scouring the web for gift ideas and realized something....
I have a lot of friends who are in the business of selling something (either jewelry, clothing, home decor items, photography services, knitted items, pet products, etc.)!!!
With so much talent within my circle of friends, I decided that it would be a great idea to post the first annual
"HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FROM FRIENDS OF THE CREATIVE MIXX"
Back in the day, I owned a pair of lee jeans and a lee jean jacket. I don't own a pair now, but I do have a Lee jean jacket, (not the same from my youth)
It's a pre-loved jacket that I picked up at a house sale early this year
I love it: and wear it often:)
So, when I heard about this new video from "Lee Jeans Australia", I had to post.
They've launched a new concept called "Lee Backstage" (your pass to the back pockets of the best events, happenings and gigs around the world)
