Flameless candles? What the Balls?

January 21, 2010 by

So, we talk ALOT about what we do love on here.  So I thought I would mix it up a bit.  EVERYONE and I mean every single person on my list almost got a flameless candle for Christmas–until I thought I would test drive these things myself.

Cons:

  1. You have to insert batteries
  2. They smell like ass ok
  3. They dont give the same I love candles, romantic, hide a weird smell thats been lingering feeling.

Pros:

What do you think???

Santa Was Very Good To Me

December 29, 2009 by

So we know that my son is spoiled as hell, so let’s talk about Mommy.  I must have been very good this year, or my boyfriend Ben and my Mom, Mimi really know me well! Here’s a few of my favs from my stash.

cr-presents procured

  1. Cat house from Ikea.  This goes great with my decor.  It’s acting as a piece of abstract art at the moment, but I am devising plans to make my cats go kookoo for this new condo.
  2. Yurakoro Lucky Cat.  I’ll admit,  I’m a small child when it comes to gifts like these.  Of all the things I received this year, I have to say this is my favorite.  What makes this little gadget even better is when you rock it, the kitty mews just like my Siamese, which makes me laugh everytime.
  3. World Market Floor Lamp.  This was on my Tipsy Christmas list and I think Santa surely read it!  This things is gargantuan.  I am working on finding the perfect place for this in my crib, but am surely in love.
  4. Bissell Pet Vacuum. Comes fully equipped with the chamber that you can view all the nastiness that you suck in.  Hellz yes.

Crazy Cat Lady: Ornament Edition

December 22, 2009 by

When my TP (Tipsy Pal) AK showed these to me, I knew I had to share with all of you.  These are too cute and encompass everything about me.  Someone that is obsessed with cats and funky at the same time.

After digging a little deeper, I found the creator of these little jewels (Old World Primitives) not only has her own Etsy shop, but has a neat little unique blog as well.  Enjoy!  Or just laugh at how nuts I am.

P.S.  Lets say you aren’t as awesome as I am and want these in dogs–she’s got em!  See here.

I Made Milwaukee Famous

December 22, 2009 by

I <3 concerts.  I go to as many as often as I possibly can (given the schedule with a 7-year-old and work).  One band that everyone needs to check out regardless of the genre you gravitate to is What Made Milwakee Famous.  They (WMMF) are awesome and from Austin, even better!!!

My boyfriend and I got the luxury of sitting about 10 feet away from them when they played at Warehouse Live in Houston on Friday, December 11th.

If you want to get a quick taste of them, check out my personal favorite, “Cheap Wine“!  I bought the CD for my honey and I absolutely am stealing it from him love it.

Christmas List: 7-year-old BOY Edition!

December 17, 2009 by

Anyone want to know whats on a 7-year-old’s Christmas list…?? Here it is.

cr-atm xmas list

  1. New Super Mario Bros for Wii –  will Mommy want to play?  Mayyyybe.   Some of my favorite memories of Austin and I together have come from when I conquered SMB on Austin’s DS about a year ago.  I felt like a hero with him cheering me on 🙂
  2. Star Wars Table Top Electric Pinball – Darth Vader + Pinball = awesome.
  3. Star Wars Lego Star Wars Limited Edition X-Wing Fighter – see above.  Star Wars + Lego = awesomer.  Finding miscellaneous Rebel Alliance Lego parts all over the house for years=priceless.
  4. Pokemon Sleeping Bag – Do we go camping alot?  No.  Do we have tons of uses for a Pokemon themed sleeping bag?  Hellz yes.
  5. Blockus – strategy game that my son will love and I will hopefully master and be able to rub it in his face.  HAHAHA!  I mean Ho Ho Ho!
  6. Pokemon Puzzle – we can put this together while zipped up in #4!
  7. Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days – this is the fourth book in this series and my son has finished the three before it.  Like I always tell Austin….always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Seriously though, this series is great, and it keeps Austin hungry to read.  Win, win.
  8. Snap on Digi Camera – Can hold up to 40 pics and its spring clip prevents it from being lost yeah right.
  9. Guess Who – does your person have hair?  does your person have glasses?  does your person have wrinkles?  Whoever that is, thats one ugly ass person.  But I love playing this game with Austin.

As a side note, Ben (my boyfriend) and I Santa may or may not have shopped at kids.woot.com this year for many of these items 🙂

Hump Day Happy Hour: Merry Christmas Punch

December 16, 2009 by

We all know that the holidays really translates into a really good excuse to get yo’ drank  on with close family and friends, right?  So here’s another option for spiking the punchbowl.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 bottle raspberry vodka
  2. 72 ounces cranberry juice
  3. 1/2 bottle Absolut vodka
  4. 1 can Sprite soda

Directions:

Pour all ingredients (chilled beforehand) into a large container or punch bowl filled with ice.   I think some of these Green Ice Lites would be a great substitution for ice cubes, just sayin’.  Allow to chill.  Serve in punch cups or tall glasses.  Maybe something like these would be fun!

Christmas Wishlist: CR Edition

December 14, 2009 by

So a few of these are completely outrageous, because I can’t imagine spending the $.  But in a world where money didn’t matter, here is a list of the things I want to see under my tree.

  1. Z Gallerie Lithe Vases ($14.95 – $18.95) – simple, yet intricate.  Would be perfect for my bamboo!
  2. Hello Kitty Ceramic Watches ($995 – 2900) – yes, I am 29 and 3/4’s and am an admitted Hello Kitty junkie.  These watches are too cute.
  3. Urban Outfitters Head Band ($18.00) – not even sure this would look good on me, just seems really unique and funky, like me.
  4. Yellow Strauss Toms (54.00) – fun and funky.
  5. Tyler Diva Scented Candle ($17.95) – I am just obsessed with these candles and this scent.
  6. Ikea Red Clock ($29.99) – love love love this cute little ticker.
  7. Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave ($79.99) – this is a want, definitely not a need.  But if I could pick any out there, this wireless mouse and keyboard surely have my vote.
  8. Rotating Spheres Arc Floor Lamp ($79.99) – I am certain this would complete my house’s transformation to an Asian wannabe home.
  9. Pottery Barn Fruitwood Pillar Holders ($22.99) – too cute, very simple.  I love candles and am sure I would be able to find some which would a nice reason to have these around.
  10. Ivy Mirror and ID Case ($16.00) – did I also ever mention that I am notorious for constantly misplacing my ID, debit card, keys, mind, and sanity.  Think this will help???
  11. Puma Hoodie ($69.00) – did I ever mention I am obsessed with Hoodies?  Any of the Tipsy girls can attest to this.  I am convinced this is the perfect hoodie for me.
  12. Oh and did I mention this little guy (priceless) – no comment :).
