believe?.. what?

Speaking of fabulous perfumes, I’d like to say WHAT THE F*#%?  Who wants to buy something by Britney Spears called Believe? I guess it you like to smell like a dirty whore. I love Britney Spears – even through her white trash phase, but I would not buy anything  from her, by her (except her music) that would make me smell like her. OK, so maybe I’ll attract white trash guys… yay. And I know what you’re thinking – that just because it’s her name doesn’t mean it smells like, but I like to believe that…

Daisy Daisy!

’tis the season for giving and receiving…. and what better than to receive a bright, new, fresh floral scented perfume… DAISY by Marc Jacobs. This is the best perfume ever! No I don’t own it, but that’s just because it’s been sold off shelves.. but more power to you if you can get your hands on it! try it and i bet you’ll love it!

laptop bags.

I love my laptop. It’s pink, cute and very useful. I don’t travel with it that much, but on the occasion I’ll work from home or go out of town. I’m leaving for California tomorrow and I just realized that I don’t have a laptop bag. So i searched and searched yesterday with no avail to find a cheap, but good bag. Needless to say, the cheapest bag I found was $60 bucks, which I’ll probably have to break down and buy today. Only because I love my laptop so much!

This one below is made by Puma… probably pretty pricey, but looks similar to the $60 bag i saw yesterday. Yes! It’s pink! WOOHOO. If you’re looking to spend more bucks, check out Acme – they have some stylish and durable laptop bags and they come in a ton of wonderful colors! Also, Etsy has some great laptop bags, and they are all handmade – so support indie artists!

NAP Blanket!

If you are in need of a gift for someone and have NO IDEA what to get this, THIS nap blanket is the perfect thing. It’s so soft and cuddly and comes in a variety of colors. Who doesn’t need a throw blanket the cuddle in when they’re watching TV or reading a book? Nap also makes full size blankets for all size beds, neck wraps, socks, bathrobes and more. They are AMAZING!

Top 10 Pink Gadgets of 2007

Ok – so if you haven’t already caught on, then catch on now. PINK is everywhere – whether its for the cure for Breast Cancer or just for the sake of the oh-so loveable color, you can’t escape its wrath. Pink has been my favorite color since before I could even say pink. And I’m happy to see that this year has produced more pink gadgets that I know what to do with. Here are my top 10 favorites for this year:

1. The Pink DVD Player: Why buy a silver or black DVD player when you can buy a pink one from NextPlay? They are SO adorable and cheap. Unfortunately when I bought my DVD player, I called all over to find one and they were all sold out. If you get one, let me know… you’re a lucky lucky person.

 

2. The Pink Casio Exilim: So far, I only have a pink case for my camera. It’s also a 4.0 megapixel (meaning it’s ANCIENT). I want to upgrade to this one this year….. WOOHOO.

3. The Pink iPod Shuffle (exclusive to Walmart): And sold out, I might add. If you can’t get your hands on this, get a pink cover. Though, let me add – It’s just not as cool.

4. The Pink Tool Set:  Your husband or boyfriend has a tool kit, so why shouldn’t you? And if you’re going to have to do the heavy dirty work around the house, you should be using something cute. End of story.

5. The Pink PS2: We all know that the PS2 is amazing, for the mere fact that you can play Guitar Hero on it…. and as of November, it’s coming out in PINK. Hallelujah!

6. The Pink KitchenAid: I love to cook and I love to cook on pink appliances. Amazing. Though I have pink pots and pans, a pink kettle and other small appliances, this one takes the cake!

7. The Pink George Foreman: Did George approve this? Maybe he created it for his daughter… oh wait, he had all boys. Well, then my friend, George, must be looking out for the ladies on this one.

 

8. The Pink Computer: Unlike my pink laptop, this one is actually colored pink, not just the case. Let me just say, this is one way to type in style. Thanks Sony. (Although, I am a fan of apple….. c’mon Steve Jobs, we want a pink computer!!!)

9. Pink Dyson Vacuum Cleaner: I love to clean. And now, I love to clean even more! The generic yellow vacuum cleaners are so tacky. Women out there, you should only agree to vacuum if your husband’s buy you a pink vacuum cleaner.

 

10. The Pink Coffeemaker: I was torn between the pink coffeemaker and the pink toaster. Then I realized that I drink WAY more coffee… and you probably do too, which is why this coffeemaker made the cut.

 

 

sex and the city, the MOVIE!

can’t wait!……

bare minerals.. it really works!

I know you’ve seen the infomercials for Bare Minerals makeup – I mean, who hasn’t? They play it over and over and over. Well like many people, I was very skeptical about purchasing another expensive piece of makeup that didn’t really do the trick. I needed some new concealer and in an effort to get out the rain yesterday, I took shelter in Sephora. I’ve tried Benefit’s concealer but it was too pasty and didn’t go on as smooth as I wanted it too. Then I bought Stila (comes in a tube) and I though that was too liquid-y and it made my face shiny in certain spots, then when I’d put on powder, it would just darken those spots.

Yesterday I tried Bare Minerals concealer and let me just say that it works! It goes on like a cream but beacause it’s a powder it is very smooth and easy to apply. It does a GREAT job covering it up any blemishes and it’s not messy at all. I have very dry skin and this did not make it look dry! 2 thumbs up! Highly Recommended!

winter dress from urban outfitters

During the summer, I’d visit Urban Outfitters about 3 or 4 times a week. It didn’t help that I lived 2 blocks away from the store. Now that I’ve moved and the Summer turned to Winter, I don’t go there that often… and when I do, I haven’t been able to find anything good! Needless to say, I browsed through the store yesterday and found this amazing cute long sleeved dress. It’s the perfect thing to wear to a Holiday party or Office party. Just pair it with some tights and boots and you’ve got a complete outfit!
