I hate hairspray. But living in the great humidity of Houston, Texas I have learned that in order to hold any bit of a style for more than 5 minutes I have to use a quick spritz of spray or else. I have found a hairspray that is light, smells fruity (which I LOVE) and stays true to it’s word of being anti- humidity. Test it out, you won’t be sorry.
When I heard about this drink I HAD to share it! This sounds SUPER yummy!
Fill a glass with ice. Add 4.5 oz ginger ale and 1.5oz vanilla vodka. DRINK.
These sunscreen towelettes seem AWESOME for a squirmy toddler…have any of you used them? Do they work? Are they stanky? If my kiddo has sensitive skin will they irritate? Anyone? Bueller?
With it being a thousand degrees here this sounds very yummy and refreshing! Super simple: Add a splash of strawberry nectar to your glass of champagne.
I am embarrassed to say that my baby was born several shades tanner than me. Living with two Italian skin toned men has a girl feeling a wee bit pasty. And since my days of fake n’ baking are done, I found myself venturing down the aisles of self tanner saying enie, meanie, minie, mo and picking the one that smelled the least like ass. I picked a winner and I would like to share it with you today. I have been using it for over a week and I am neither pasty nor orange. WIN!

I ran across this cabernet sauvignon over the weekend and let me tell you: TRY IT! At $23/bottle it’s not going to be your everyday wine, but it’s definitely worth the $$$ every now and then…
After I’m pretty much done fixing my hair I have in the past used Redken Water Wax to tame some fly aways and get my bangs to move in a direction that doesn’t look like ass. I also liked using it on the ends of my hair to just get a little polish. But I’m here today to tell you that I am a convert. I’ve converted from Redken Water Wax straight into the arms of Jonathan Dirt.
Do you know Jonathan Antin? I used to watch his show Blow Out on Bravo a few years back and I specifically remember when he was creating his hair line while they were filming. On one specific episode he was trying to have them formulate “Dirt” per his standards and apparently at that point they had not and he ended up throwing the product across the room and threw a little hissy fit.
So anyway, now years later I have purchased the “up to Jonathan Antin’s standards” Dirt and I LOVE IT. It’s not sticky like Water Wax, it’s smooth and silky and yet it controls fly-aways and perfectly separated my bangs in a way that doesn’t look like ass. So I would definitely suggest if you are a WAX person you might want be a DIRT person. Let me know if you agree!
Or at the very least they don’t look all scraggly. My hands have been dry dry dry lately and we don’t even want to go there on the status of my cuticles. When I ran out of my regular hand lotion I went to buy some of the same old stuff I always buy but they were out, so I WAS just going to wait, but as I was standing in line I saw Sally Hansen’s Nail & Cuticles Hand Creme and decided to impulse buy. What I didn’t realize by doing this was that I was going to be buying the best hand lotion I’ve ever purchased in my life! It “dries” pretty quickly, it smells grapefruity AND it lasted for HOURS AND HOURS…like even beyond washing my hands multiple times. So I do believe I have a new mini mani for you…cuticle oil plus Sally Hansen Nail & Cuticles Hand Creme. Try it, it’s the bomb.

I normally buy lemonade drink mix for a drink option in a pinch. So when I saw this lime margarita flavored drink mix, my mind got to wandering. And for $1.78 at Wal-Mart I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I got it home and threw two packets in the blender with some ice and tequila. These margs are GOOD and the best part is the only calories are what is in the tequila! (I couldn’t find this kind online, but there are many other kinds here.)
I have said in the past that my husband is the main cook in the house and I like to make “party food” or bake. I also could eat Mexican food probably every day of my life, though my butt would not appreciate that. As I peruse Google Reader, I tend to save recipes that I want to try and I just thought I’d share the list…have any of you tried any of these and loved them?
