Hallelujah!

The best way I can describe the sound of Il Divo is soaring passion. These four beautiful operatic voices blend to create powerful music and graceful elegance. "Angelina", "Adagio", they all create a relaxing, rich ambience which surrounds you and takes you in, a break from a world which can be chaotic.

The real test for me was the cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. There is a wonderful rendition by Jeff Buckley and my favorite version is Leonard's, but, Il Divo managed to wow me with a soft and gorgeous rendition. I love the beauty of Italian and Spanish so that is a plus for me.

This is the type of cd I want to just get lost in and allow it to inspire and enrich my soul and my heart. Bravo, Il Divo!

Yoyo! Here's a great Holiday Gift Idea!

Combining two great inventions, lip gloss, and a yoyo like cord, this product is great for those who are always losing their lip gloss (like me!). It has a cord that clips to your hip and is a perfect gift for teens or anyone who loves lip gloss. With names like "Raisin Tha Roof Red", these are fun glosses which taste good and have a beautiful shimmer.
