My life as a singer, songwriter, new mom, champion for children's causes, and fashion enthusiast. I'm crazy for jazz, blues, old school R&B, and pop. Have also recently added kids music to my "repertoire". I'm also all about fashion, glam, travel, and helping others. But most of all, I'm loving life being mom to my sweet daughter, Ruby, adopted from Thailand. A lot of things to be grateful for and here is where I will share my stories, music, photos, and words of inspiration. More posts and tweets on my website blog www.macimiller.com

Le Cochon Noir Set List

Had a rockin' time with the guys last night! Fun crowd, cool vibe (as always) at Le Cochon Noir, and the band was really swinging. Last night we had Rob Smith on drums, Tony Gairo on Sax, Michael Hood on the bass, and Norm Guarni. The MM5 had a seriously fun night! Shout out to our awesome hosts Jamal Parker and his lovely wife, Mackenzie!

The Golden Globes

Ok, so who watched the Golden Globe Awards last night? I gotta tell you, I love me some Hollywood award shows! Love the fashion, a peak at some of the must-see movies on my list and enjoy seeing all the celebs mix and mingle. At the top of that list - George Clooney! I sware that man is a walking reincarnate of Cary Grant or Gregory Peck or someone else of equal standing. Love his style, class, his down to earth nature. Of course, he's also a brilliant actor. Was glad to see him win and loved his gracious speech.

Now let's talk about red carpet style...
Hands down, Nicole Kidman had the best dress (in my humble opinion). She looked amazing!
Julie Bowen channeling Grace Kelly. Love the dress, the hair...perfection!
Love Madonna and thought her dress was very cool. Gorgeous, yet edgy.
Was awesome to see Octavia win for Best Supporting Actress. She was incredible in The Help. The book was better than the movie, but both were really GREAT. 

What was your favorite fashion or part of the show? Drop me a comment!

Fashion Friday: Audrey Hepburn & Inner Beauty

Oh yes, she was a fashion icon. Her style in Breakfast in Tiffany's will forever draw women to the little black dress and a glamorous up do. But what made Audrey even more beautiful was her loving heart. She had a soft spot for the impoverished - especially children -and dedicated many years of her life helping others. Here, I'd like to share with you these wonderful words often quoted by Miss Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips:

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.audrey-hepburn
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!”


Wishing you all a beautiful day!

A Big Thank You!

Over the last month we raised over $300 for Mercy Centre! I say "we" and not "me" because it was all of your kind hearts out there who purchased my Butterfly Moon lullaby CD -not just for yourselves but for others, too. And the kids in Thailand will benefit the most. So happy! That money will go a lot further in Thailand than it would here.

Thanks so much to all who contributed. Hope your little ones enjoy the music!
