Free Shipping for domestic & international orders over USD$35 plus Crystal Rhapsody perfume notes

One of these days, I'm starting a wine charm blog where people can post their wine charm of the day, what their choice of spirit or beverage is, and/or fragrance of the day (spirits and fragrance are bedfellows, after all), and we can share a good time online. I could even post a live musical performance if you wanted, and I would answer your post if you said something nice to me about it. I don't know, something like that. I remember back in the day when I launched PINK MANHATTAN EP, perfume (oil, like Crystal Rhapsody and collection) and blog here on Blogger, that it was a pretty fun time in my online life whilst raising our two children with Fred, being an at home mom save for nights when I had music gigs, but having a social life of sorts with people around the world who had shared interests. Having shared interests is more unifying than people give it credit for; in fact, rallying around a shared interest can lead to the formation of a clique. The only question left is whether or not I can serve as a host with enough cult of personality to rally a crowd. I did it once as a TV personality, but it's quite different to have to diy from scratch. I'll keep you posted.

The Wuj Productions music merch store is now taking PayPal, and we're now offering free shipping for orders over $35, like Amazon. Fred and I are new at this, so please bear with us while we learn the new ropes of taking an international order. I'm sorry we can no longer offer free shipping to US customers for orders under $35, but there was no way to balance domestic and international orders fairly without charging everybody the same shipping fee, local or not, thus, the $35 minimum. Right now, since Women's Fragrances (including the Silver Anniversary Collection which includes a Men's) are on sale for Mother's Day (enter promo code MOTHERSDAY at checkout to get 25% off), one of those items will meet that minimum. And no, you wouldn't have to buy my fragrance to post your fragrance of the day on my forum; in fact, if you wanted to, you can share your fragrance or wine charm or spirit of the day on this blog, and the party would get started just like that, so, here goes: My fragrance of the day is Crystal Rhapsody. It's a Fruity Floral with notes of 🍈🥥 and white florals. If you liked Pink Manhattan which was a Fruity Floral with notes of 🍑🍦 and white florals (gardenia), you'll like this, too. It's my signature scent, after all.

My wine charm is a rose cut quartz crystal, and I'm having rosé. Cheers!

Crystal Rhapsody TRANCE MIX Animated Music Video is now up on YouTube!

A new animated music video for my song, "Crystal Rhapsody TRANCE MIX" by Sali O, is now up on YouTube!

Crystal Rhapsody TRANCE MIX Animated Music Video will launch today on YouTube!

Hey, guys! A new animated music video for my song, "Crystal Rhapsody TRANCE MIX" by Sali O, will launch on YouTube at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time! I don't talk about my love and passion for trance music enough, but I hope you, too, will feel the beauty of this Electronic Music genre that I'm deeply inspired by through my lush, ethereal visuals in all things Crystal Rhapsody.

If you were there with me in 2005, you might even see a thematic connection to my PINK MANHATTAN EP, which touched on the rave scene with both music and perfume. Speaking of perfume, hints will be dropped in the video as to the scents in my new Perfume Oil by Sali O Collection.

This is the 4th animated music video I've drawn illustrations for. The other 3 are "You're My Number One DANCE MIX" feat. Claudia Kimmel, "Suki Yo (I Love You)" by Fred Kimmel feat. Sali O, and "Riverflow" by Fred Kimmel. I've also drawn pictures for other videos of mine, like "You're My Number One TRANCE MIX" feat. Claudia Kimmel which is more of a visualizer that is based on a repeated pattern, and "Suki Yo (I Love You) Studio Version" which is a series of sketches, but these are the ones I created all the pictures in every frame for, each color painted uniquely except for a few parts that repeat a pattern to animate, to make these mini films. I couldn't have made this music video without my musician husband Fred, who not only brought my animations to the screen but encouraged me to draw.

I'm grateful to everyone in my life who encouraged me to draw, from my golf pro brother to co-workers in music and TV, my past teachers and classmates. Please go check it out, and be a part of my on-going journey of music, art and life; a million heartfelt thanks and a great, big (((hug))) to you, my fans! You inspire me to be who I am today!

Working with AI Grok on X according to Sali O

Singer Sali O (top), Sali O created by Grok for "Heartbeat Sky" (below)

Grok is actually great for a creative person to work with as a sounding board, because unlike a human being, it doesn't feel offended when you don't take any of its ideas, and rather, it encourages you to be creative on your own, which is what any real musician or creative person would use it for to begin with. Although I've written "Heartbeat Sky" on my own and didn't use any of its input musically, lyrically or production wise, I'm flattered by its custom song title and image concept tailored to me, even if it took a few weeks for it to get my bio right.

New Sali O Music Merch and Ideas for a Sweet Yet Edgy, Spiritual Mother's Day Gift

Sali is wearing an Organza and Twine Necklace in white and a Crystal Rhapsody Zipper Pull Charm Attrape Coeur with Cross

Before I tell you about the brand new charms in store, please let me just wax poetic about the twine necklace I'm wearing. It's affordable, versatile, and most of all, it's beachy and feminine with that little piece of diaphanous organza like a bridal veil adorning the neck. I like it worn with a charm or two, or 3 or more, but it's pretty on its own, too, in a casual, unpretentious sort of way.

Mother's Day is around the corner, and we've got lots of new things in store. First of all, don't miss the angelic yet edgy, and spiritual gifts like the gorgeous Attrape Coeur (heart wings) with a heart, Star of David or a cross. These charms also come in gold color Zipper Pull, Mini Lanyard and our new duotone design, like the one I'm wearing above in silver and rose gold color.

Aside from spiritual gifts, we have new Sali O Crystal Rhapsody music merch! The earlier design in this style was a Snowflake and Piano, designed in the motif of my new album, Crystal Rhapsody. Now, we have a Snowflake & Microphone.

New Easter/Passover 2025 Duotone Rose Quartz Charms are at the Wuj Productions Store

Jump Ring Charm Rose Quartz Pear with Rose Gold Color Cross

I've been told that Americans uniquely love the look of duotone metal (yellow gold and white gold together, for example), which might be true because I, too, have worn my gold wedding band with my platinum engagement ring together for over 25 years. Although I don't wear my engagement ring all the time, I also wear duotone jewelry, such as a beautiful pendant that was once gifted to me by my husband, Fred, with Swarovski crystals set in silver on intertwined rose gold rings. I think tricolor jewelry is lovely as well, mixing gold, silver and rose gold color metals in one piece. I think the mixed metal look is freedom to wear all of my favorite jewelry at once, and I've mixed Pandora charms on a bracelet as well. Actually, Pandora charms often come in duotone designs. After all, if you can mix different color gemstones on a piece of jewelry or look, you should be able to mix precious metals in an ensemble.

Our new 2025 Zipper Pull and Jump Ring Charms feature the duotone look with rose quartz and other natural stones set in silver color metal and mixed together with a gold or rose gold color charm. These charms are religious themed for Easter and Passover, but we will be adding more non-religious styles soon, such as our Rose Quartz Heart with Unicorn and Rose Quartz Pear with Mermaid. Also, we now have an 18" Stainless Steel Chain Necklace in our Necklace category, which is offered under Options on select listings at our Wuj Productions music merch store. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and/or weekend!

Why Grok defines Pop Music as Top 40

In Grok's own words, this post illustrates how its definition of pop music has less to do with style as whether or not a song has actually charted on the Billboard Top 40.
