“Hey, that’s a nice baseball bat you have there” the guy who I thought worked at the store told me. “Yeah, it’s for my son. He’s playing t-ball and needs to practice” I said, thinking I was just participating in friendly store-customer banter. I picked-up a few more items and everywhere I went he was there. But now, he had a friend with hm. Ok, I’m not going to steal. I’m on my way to the gym. I have no pockets or a purse on me. There’s nowhere to stash anything. I thought as I made my way to check-out. Leaning next to the candy display at check-out he said, “your son’s going to like that” while his buddy stood next to him smiling at me. Yes he will, and I know how to use it too! I finally made my way to the front of the line. I asked...
Summer is over and the weather is cooling down. You’re storing your tank tops and replacing them with sweaters. While you’re excited for the leaves to change colors and daydreaming about snow angels, cooler weather usually leads to dry skin. One of my biggest complaints about body lotion is how sticky it is right after you apply it. You’ve just had a nice, relaxing shower and now you have to wait 15 minutes to get dressed because you’re body lotion is drying and you’re a sticky mess. Future Face’s Hydrating Body Milk eliminates the wait time. Hydrating Body Milk immediately absorbs into your skin as soon as you apply it. Because it’s creamy, not thick and gooey, Hydrating Body Milk leaves your skin soft, silky and smooth for the rest of the day. I’ve been using Future Face’s Milk Cleanser and Hydrating Body Milk for two weeks now. Future Face’s...
All my life I’ve been a Crest girl. Growing-up, my parents always purchased Crest for the family and I never thought of switching brands. I’ve been searching for a toothpaste that will leave my teeth feeling clean all day. I love the feeling of running my tongue along my teeth and feeling how slick my teeth feel. One night I saw a commercial advertising Aquafresh Flouride Toothgel – Deep Impact. I was intrigued by the foaming action of the toothpaste, so I purchased it on my next trip to Target. I was amazed when I used it. I could not believe all the foam the pea-sized amount of gel made. When I did the tongue test, my teeth were very slick. I was happy. The next day, I still had clean, slick feeling teeth. Overall, I am very pleased with Aquafresh Deep Impact. My main complaint is the gel...
It was a hectic summer for me. My sister and sister-in-law were both married, my husband started a new career which led to us relocating and my little man started school. There was no me time. It had been three months since I visited a salon. When I realized I couldn’t get my comb through my hair and it consisted of three various shades of red, I scheduled a salon appointment. For me it’s always nerve-racking going to a new stylist. You never know if they know what they’re doing or if you’ll leave with a terrible style. My husband kept insisting to me that bangs are back in style. Nice subtle hint dude. Great, additional added stress. All I could think of as I stepped into the salon was “I hope this girl know how to color, cut in a straight line and not give me mushroom...
We’re diehard Target fans. What can’t you get at your local Target store? And Super Target? It has really great organic meats, natural cereals and all the various Target brands of food are really tasty. Have you tired the Archer Farms Wild Mushroom Risotto? Delicious. Times are tough for just about everyone. Your old handbag may be hanging on by a thread, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on an expensive tote when there are other necessities you have to purchase. We found this cute, everyday tote at Target.com. The Danica Bonsai Elisa Tote is priced for the budget friendly girl at $39.99. At $39.99 and the cute bonsai print on the tote, we knew it had to be This Week’s Handbag. The tote is available for bullseye free shipping with qualifying purchase. See target.com for details. Great finds at great prices, that’s one reason we love...
Wow! What a heavy, bright jar I thought as I opened my package from Future Face. The black and green jars are very eye-catching and the smell is enticing once opened. The scent reminded me of an Aveda or Origins store; very botanical and clean smelling. I began using my Milk Cleanser that night. I was impressed. My eyeliner, mascara, foundation and blush magically disappeared. I didn’t have to scrub or reapply the cleanser to remove any residue or leftover make-up. We all know the difficulty in removing mascara and eyeliner. It either doesn’t come off and the next day you awake with raccoon eyes, which is super sexy, or you have to rub your eyelids off, loose a few eyelashes and you end-up with soap your eyes. Can you feel the burn? Once I was finished cleansing my face and patted it dry, I decided to look in the...
Remember that snotty 12-year-old kid when you were in school who was always saying “teacher teacher." You know the one who was always tattle telling on her classmates. What happens to that kid when they grow-up? Do they mature and realize it’s not cool to tell on everyone else? My guess is no. I bet they become politicians so they can continue to try to control and tattle on everyone. But, I digress. At my Pilates class today there was a letter taped to the door stating next week’s class will be cancelled. One lady walked off grumbling, while two other women were getting upset about Pilates going away. I found the manager of the gym and asked him why Pilates was being cancelled. He told me the classes were not cancelled, but that Pilates on Tuesday afternoon would be moved to another time slot. Whew, I need my...
We recently discovered Free People. Not only is it a stunning website, Free People has amazing clothes, shoes, intimates and accessories. We knew Free People had to be featured as this week’s Who’s Wearing What Wednesday. This Miles of Henley Dress immediately caught our eye. Why didn’t we think of creating a henley dress? With cooler weather this dress is perfect. We’re ready to snuggle up in this dress. These Netherland over the Knee Boots compliment the lazy day, free-flowing look of the Miles dress. You could also pair them with your favorite jeans or leggings. These boots are made for walkin. And that’s just what they’ll do. We can see why Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Taylor Swift are fans of Free People. We’re joining the fan club too.
We love going to Nordstrom and standing in the beauty of the shoe and handbag department. What girl doesn’t dream of shoes, handbags, clothes and everything beautiful? Stepping into Nordstrom is like living that dream. At Nordstrom.com we found this great little tote by Juicy Couture. When we saw the tote, we knew it had to be This Week’s Handbag. The Python Daydreamer Velour Tote ($198) is “a shadowy python print updates a soft velour tote gently cinched with a beautiful drawstring. Dangling tassels and a gem charm lend chic finishing touches.” This Python just slithered its way into our daydreams.
It’s been a rough week at our house. My son and I have both been suffering from terrible head colds. After missing two days of school, little man decided going to bed early would be a good idea. After tucking him in, I decided it was time to tackle the dirty dishes piling-up in the sink. My 17-month-old daughter was busy entertaining herself with her dolls, our dog and Winnie-the-Pooh. Halfway through the pile, I looked up to check on my princess. Sitting quietly on the floor, she was thumbing through her brother’s Cars wallet. She saw me looking at her so she threw the wallet to the side. Then, she stood up and ran off laughing with a devilish look on her face. To my disbelief, she was running with his cash in her hands and stuffed in her diaper. I was shocked! Here was my little angelic...
I love this look because it says I’m a sassy, beautiful, powerful business woman. You can go straight from the office and remove the blazer in time for cocktails with the girls. Want to get more bang for you money? The ruffle halter cami and booties can be worn with your favorite pair of jeans while relaxing during the weekend. Who’s Wearing What Wednesday, Kristen Bell in Ann Taylor Loft.
Alana Franke is a wonderful friend of mine. We’ve been friends for almost 10 years. Earlier this year she posted on her facebook page, “Headed to Houston for an emergency surgery on the twins. Please pray for them.” My heart was broken and many prayers were prayed that day. Alana discovered at 17 weeks gestation that the boys had Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. It occurs in identical twin pregnancies, when one twin gives the other twin all of the nutrition. If left untreated, 98% of babies with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome will not survive. During an ultrasound, doctors rushed in to tell Alana and her husband Jarrid the boys needed surgery right away. They couldn’t wait another day. Immediately, the couple was rushed to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. A successful laser procedure done in utero corrected the boys situation. Alana spent the remaining months of her pregnancy on bed rest....
