My eBay Store Get-Glam.com is one of 4 stores chosen by eBay for an Extreme Makeover, and is now featured on the Stores Design Center page at eBay. We attended eBay Live in Boston (our first ) and had the privilege to see Seth Godin speak live. I have read his books, starting with The Purple Cow. So simple, it makes so much sense and has had a terrific positive impact in my business. I now make sure to be remarkable at every opportunity ever since. Thank you so much, Seth!

Please use this link to contact me for more information on my line of Couture Jewelry, on Get-Glam or Glam-Rocs. Thank you!

Extreme Makeover eBay Page
All the hard work is paying off! After I incorporated my branding through a new custom item template that resembles the look and feel of my e-commerce site I submitted the eBay Stores for the Best in Stores 2007 Contest. I did not win that contest, I did much better! Now the store is featured at the Extreme Makeover Page and we had a blast in Boston. Thank you, eBay!

Who is Glam? The Glam Awards 

Add your own Glam Girl (or Boy) to the list. Vote up or down.

It all started as I tried to define what is Glam. Well, I came to conclusion it is not something, but rather a state of mind. It doesn't really matter when or where someone lives or lived, what they wore (or didn't) - just ask your mate who might feel you are the most Glam person when you roll out of bed in the morning. Now that's love! So show your love and add your Glam vote to the list. It doesn't mater what time period they are from, it matters who you can think of and why.

August 27 is Mother Theresa's Birthday (1910) 

New Book based on 60 letters sheds light

No one can argue that Mother Theresa was a blessing to many poor people, particularly those in Calcutta, one of the poorest places in the world. This petite nun worked tirelessly to help those who had nothing. In spite of her small stature she was a giant in fund raising. With her soft voice and mild manners she managed to obtain support for her deeds.
Ten years after her death a new book is in the works. Based on letters written by Mother Theresa, it sheds light on her most personal thoughts, her doubts. I am not particularly religious but always admired this woman who was able to do so much for so many. To me she has always represented unconditional Love and the ability to manifest solutions in spite of seemingly unsurmountable obstacles and the endless appearance of the task. The book is meant to aid in her canonization. Read more and see some of the letters in Mother Theresa's own handwriting.

Public Service Announcement! 

In Honor of Joe Strummer, The Clash, one of the best song writers ever.

Just what the title says - cool timely information.
Alert - STC SAWA Credit Card Fraud
I have just found 2 consecutive $80.00 unauthorized check card charges on my business bank account. They are from "STC SAWA RECHARGE" Charges appear twice, one right after the other.

After doing a quick search on Google I found out that this is a new scam. The information comes from a forum for professional resellers. The problem seems to be spreading rather quickly and widely. You can tell just from the numbers of posts and the diversity of locations. I don't use this check card at gas stations, grocery stores and the like. I only use it online at very few trusted websites that have high security connections, and only about 3 or 4 of them for supplies. Never had any problems until now as I am extremely careful. Others on that forum had the same care with their card numbers.

The charge is from a Middle Eastern Phone Card company. Please monitor your bank accounts and credit cards closely. This issue has not been on the news that I could find. If you see such a charge contact the bank immediately as they come back for more if you don't stop it right away. One of the posters at that forum had his card charged more than once!

Just wanted to let everyone know about it. I am trying to alert as many people as possible.
