If you’re like me, then you have caviar taste on a Burger King budget. If you’re not like me, then hats off to ‘ya…but I think I speak for most of us when I say that I want to look great without spending big bucks to do so. That’s why I think designer Allen Schwartz has done all of us “regular girls” a huge favor by creating a line of dresses, post-Oscar, that look strikingly like the real thing, while the price tags couldn’t be more different; we’re talking a mere fraction of the original dress’ price. Be sure to check this link out so you can see for yourself just what I am raving about. (If you have trouble with the link, just copy and paste it into your browser.) You will be amazed to find that hot celebrity fashion can be yours-and mine (a lil’ ol’ Midwestern girl from Ohio)! What a nice surprise, right?!
Please be sure to stop by next Friday when I will be expanding on some of the trends mentioned in last week’s Top 5 Trends from the Oscar Red Carpet. These happen to be some of the biggies for spring, and I will be showing you how you can incorporate them into your wardrobe both practically and economically, not to be missed! See you then!!
This isn’t the best video, but it’s gotta be shown. I am going to share my weight loss journey with all of my bloggie buddies. I have been wanting to do this for a while mainly for the accountability aspect of it all, but I have had avoidance behavior for about 3 months. At blissdom09 I met an awesome blogger that did this with her weight loss journey & people loved it. If you prefer Weight Watchers, you gotta check her site out. Esther at faintstarlite gave me the courage to go for it!
Go to Jenny Craig’s site and join me…I could use a friend or two in all of this. You know that that say people who diet with other people loose more weight! Go for it!!!
Today we are featuring a post from guest blogger Alyssa (my awesome sister-in-law). She will be sharing her “Mommy Must Have” every week.
This week I want to highlight my newest favorite thing for my 14 month old son Ethan. I used to live with my Baby Bjorn snuggly, it was the only way to get things done at home whether it was laundry, cleaning, or just walking around the house. Unfortunately like all babies Ethan had massive growth spurt and became to long for the snuggly, so I had to go back to holding him at all times which put a great deal of strain on my arms and shoulders. Then at the beginning of December one of my girlfriends brought over her son and she had this hip hammock on so she could carry him and still carry all of her stuff. So when it came time to do Christmas shopping and I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of my Cadillac of strollers I headed to my local Babies R Us and bought a Playtex Hip Hammock.
First you adjust the waist band to your waist size, (I wear mine just above my hips because I carry Ethan higher on my hips), next you take your baby and hold them on your hip, after that you take the main part of the hammock and put over you and the baby and the other strap simply goes over shoulder. If you absoultley need it therer are instrustions on the inside of hammock. Plus you can wear it on either side and it has a loop for toys or a sippy cup ( my fav is from Gerber).
Well that’s all for this this week sign on later for my next “Mommy Must Have”
