Has anyone ever heard of this Zak brand, and, if so, is it good? I have been seeing this brand at every boutique store I go to and am in LOVE…please tell me you love it…or hate it…! 🙂

That title is the UNDERSTATEMENT of the century; however, I need to admit something to all the readers…I LOVE kitchy, stupid, kid-like PJ pants! Nick and Nora happen to be my favorite brands, and while they have much cuter options at the Target stores, I would rock these any night of the week…
Pair these w/ a simple tank, which is my standard, and you have a fun and youthful PJ that will last a LONG time…trust me…
The Tipsy Wedding Project: Invites
May 12, 2010 by
Next up in trying to help Christen design her October 2010 wedding are the invitations. The invites are CRUCIAL, as they are the first glimpse your guests will get at the fabulousness that is your big day! (What’s funny is that all of us Tipsy gals, individually, gravitated to Wedding Paper Divas for our picks. All the invites you see can be customized to ANY color scheme that Christen wants!)
- Sarah-I love this invite because it’s simple with a touch of modern romance!
- Der-I like this invite because I happen to have found out that orange is Christen’s favorite color this week! I also like that this is simple and elegant, but unusual. No one has orange flowers on their wedding invitations…even more reason for Christen to DO IT!!!
- Court-I picked this invite because its got some traditional components, it has a classic feeling but has a modern touch with the blooming trees across the top. I think the Autumn orange fits perfectly with her colors/flowers/theme and the price of the invitations is more on the conservative side.
- AK-I like this invite for two reasons…you can incorporate the chocolate color into the invite and I think it is sorta fancy schmancy without being too stuffy. I absolutely love having the names be a cursive and the rest not. Like, love love!
Tipsy readers…tell us which one is your favorite!

Haircare Products Revisited
May 6, 2010 by
All the Tipsy girls inspired me the last time we posted on our haircare routines…they inspired me SO much, that I actually ventured out beyond the brand of Redken and I’ve made some pretty great finds!
- Kenra, Clarifying Shampoo: I like this shampoo because it does feel like my hair is stripped from all the daily pollutants, but this is a REALLY thin shampoo so I tend to use more of it…Â
- David Babaii, Hydrating Shampoo: The smell and price of this shampoo cannot be beat…that’s all I have for this one!
- Moroccanoil, Hair Treatment: Ok, this is expensive…at $14 for a .85 oz bottle I was VERY skeptical. However, I’ve had this .85 oz bottle for 2 months and have barely used a 1/4 of it. Just a dab in your hair before you blow dry and it will leave your hair both hydrated and manageable…I am truly in LOVE with this product.Â
- Kenra, Volumizing Spray: Ladies, this is not an everyday spray, BUT, when you’re feeling sassy and want a cute up-do or pony tail…this is your hair spray…it smells good, it holds everything in place, and adds some sassy sheen!
Herb Garden
May 4, 2010 by
These totally inspire me to grow herbs on my window sill…you know, the window sill with the cute curtains that is always open so you can see the kiddos playing in the yard while you’re inside doing dishes…you know, that one…the only problems is:
A) I can’t grow anything plants to save my life.
B) I don’t have a flippin window sill!!!! (or kiddos…actually, I don’t “do” dishes either…)
But aren’t these inspiring????
- Etsy, Vintage Silverware Garden Marker
- Etsy, Custom Garden Markers
- Etsy, Mini Burlap Bag with Rosemary

- Williams-Sonoma, Aerogarden Elite Garden: Only buy this if you’re a serious, I repeat, serious her grower….

Hump Day Happy Hour: Singapore Sling
April 28, 2010 by
This week’s HDHH is a throwback to one of my fave movies as kid, Cocktail! On a side note, isn’t it funny to watch movies that you LOVED as a kid and as an adult you actually see how utterly inappropriate they actually were for you to be watching???? Just putting it out there…
- 2 shots of pineapple juice
- 1 shot of gin
- 1 tbs. of grenadine
- Add seltzer to top off the glass
- Garnish with limes and a cherry
