Glamour Magazine's Glambassador

I just found out that I was chosen to be one of the Glambassador's from Glamour for this year. While I am not 100% clear on what this entails, I do know it involves beauty products, fun events, meeting new people and comes from the people who bring me Glamour Don't every month! All of these are things that I love so I am very happy to be able to be a part of this program.

Happy Easter

Here's wishing a Happy Easter to all of my peeps out there in Blogland! I hope you all have a great day!

Easter Basket Ideas for the Grown Up Girl

Tearing open a cellophane wrapped basket full of coloring books and chocolate bunnies is great fun when we are little children. Just because we may have grown up and given up the idea that Peter Cottontail is going to bless us with some Peeps on Easter morning, it doesn't mean that we have to stop partaking in the fun and excitement of the day. Here are some perfect gifts that will certainly be a hit on Easter:

Who doesn't love cupcakes?

This striped business card case is the essence of spring. Such beautiful colors will brighten your mood even if you are having a slow day at work.


Any girl would be happy to put away her boring manicure set in exchange for these adorable Matryoshka Russian Doll Manicure Kits.



These vases in this egg shaped design will help brighten up any home long after spring has sprung.


Last item on your quest for a cute Easter gift, but certainly not least is the wrapping. Why waste your entire weekend trying to get that annoying cellophane wrapped around a basket? Good Friday will not live up to its name if you have to spend a few hours with clear paper that keeps sticking to itself! Instead why not use a cute and easy technique, take out box + confetti? Cute and easy! What's not to love?

Things I Wish I Would Have Known in High School

1. There is a life outside of the little pond that you are forced to swim in and if you are a nerd in school it doesn't mean you will be a bottom feeder your whole life.

2. The pretty, rich, stuck up cheerleader is not better than anyone, even if she may want you to believe that she is. It sucks to be poor, but I believe now that it gives you more character.

3. History is important, even if your teacher puts you to sleep. Now, with my addiction to Anderson Cooper's show, I realize that history plays such a vital role in our lives. I wish now that I would have had the ability to keep my eyes open during at least some of my history classes.

4. Don't stress out over the small things! Even if you feel like you have Mount Vesuvius on your face or are having the worst hair day ever, there are so many more important things in the world. Count your blessings that those are the only things you are having to deal with.

Very Superstitious

The image above may just be of a black cat to some, but to my friend Janice it is an image of something so frightening that it will cause her to make an illegal u-turn in the middle of a road

just to avoid it.

I have another friend that believes that if you compliment someone, for example you tell them they have a beautiful baby, and then you do not touch the baby then the baby is going to fall ill. I think I may have fallen victim to this curse the other day when a coworker told me they loved my shirt, only to have the button pop off after she didn't touch it to rid me of the curse! Okay, admittedly it was probably the fact that I've had way to many pieces of birthday cake lately, but you never know!

Crazy superstitions are also the reason that my friend Christine and I have vowed never to buy antique pieces for our homes. We are convinced that the previous owner may have loved them more than we do and may come back to visit them.

What seems crazy to some may seem perfectly normal to someone else! I would love to hear everyone else's stories about their superstitions!

The Price is Right

Last month we went to a taping of The Price is Right and it finally aired this past week.

We didn't get to be the "Come on down" people, but we are in visible in the audience, which is better than we fared on the front row at the Ellen show. It was a cool experience to see everything in real life, but after having to wait around for 8 hours before taping even began I doubt I would go back to try to win A NEEEWWWW CAR! :) I am saddened, however, that my hopes of playing Plinko were crushed!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom!
