DIY Chainship Bracelet

Will this be the new TREND... a Chainship Bracelet? If your bestie gives you an chainship you know she's got your back, especially when it comes to "red tag" sales. As a kid I used to make friendship bracelets all the time. Would tie a loop around my toe so I know, as hard as I tug on the strings, they won't be going anywhere. I'd make so many Bracelets I wouldn't know what one to wear first. Fear no more! #ArmParties are all the rage now... Where them all at once I say!


So...Tell me! Will you be making a Chainship?

Life after Colic...

My baby girl turned 8 months on the 15th of this month, the time has just flown by. Now if you had asked me this at around month 3, my answer would have been different. I would have begged and pleaded to have things sped up. Managing a baby who is Colic is quite a task to ask of any person, let alone a first time mother. Any mamas out there that are dealing with such a draining experience as we speak, please know their is life after Colic. My husband and I didn't think it would ever, could ever, be this difficult. But it was, I am not afraid to say it. We struggled. If their are any mamas out there in need some help with dealing with their Colic baby, please don't hesitate to send me your stories and I can do my best to guide you through how we tackled the first 6 months of babies lives. I would feel so good to know I've helped even one mother out there cope. Motherhood should be a time in ones life where you can't help be smile and ooze loving emotions all day long. Sometimes is not quite this way. Please e-mail me, I can help!


PS: Sofia Marie now is all smiles, giggles and love. My only answer to why she is such a happy baby now is...she is making up for lost time. We couldn't be happier! Now... I ooze loving emotions 24/7

Spot the Steal

     

With one ringing in at $180 while the only a mere $40. Can you tell which is which? I sure know that I have a favorite, and naturally, it's the one that will cost me 4 months of diapers. Damn you Jeffrey Campbell and the luxury car you came in on. Having said all these hurtful things, let's all be honest, $180 is still not too bad, wouldn't you agree. Then again A Jeffrey Campbell Shoe isn't everyone "cup of tea". 


Did you spot the steal? Or are you as dumb-founded as Lindsay Lohan in court?

BAKING: Kiwi Popsicles

Had a desire for something frozen on a stick but still somewhat healthy. Avoiding the shameful reach for an Ice Cream I started to search online for frozen snacks... Behold, the Kiwi Popsicle! So easy to make and even yummier to eat these summer snacks are perfect for Adult and Children alike. It really too bad I only made four. Looks like I'll be hitting the grocery store this afternoon for some more brown fuzzy Fruit.

  

RECIPE


2 Kiwi Fruit
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 Chocolate Chips
Sticks


Peel, remove ends and cut in half two Kiwi Fruit {about 1/2" thick}.
Put each Kiwi circle on a stick and place in the freezer. 
While the Kiwi Pops freeze, over a double boiler melt your coconut oil and chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. 
Once the Kiwi has set-up, remove them from the freezer and dunk them in the liquid Chocolate, placing them back on the tray for the freezer. 
Put them back in the freezer to set-up another 10 minutes and remove them to dunk them a second time. Place them in them back in freezer for their last time.


ENJOY!

Look for Less: Lauren Conrad

      

I won't lie, I am not much of a fan of Miss Conrad. Not for negative reasons but because I just never watched "The Hills" or really paid much attention to anything else she is getting herself into. However after more of her street style, I have to say, Lauren Conrad makes chic look so natural and easy. This ensemble she wore is a tad bit old, as in an old red carpet appearance. None the less it's effortlessly chic. Loving the Army Green, and the way she has chosen to pair the shorts, not too tight, a high wait and a material that flows is just so feminine. I would no doubt wear an outfit just like this, and at $69 for all 3 pieces I think everyone WINS including my mastercard. Don't you agree?

Spot the Steal

  

I love playing "spot the steal"! Why you ask? Well it's really quite simple, if I don't spot the steal, then the bag that has fooled me into thinking its worth much more than it really is, it added to my wardrobe. FUN 'EH!

One of these bags is $45, while the other chimes in at $1,260. Just a tad bit of a difference to the pocket book, right ladies? Tell me, which bag has your heart? Will you be saving money or over spending this afternoon?

PS: Click on the baby purse images, below the top article, to find out the price of both. Come back on comment if you sniffed out the bank breaker! I'd love to hear it.  

DIY Designer

Bought a sweet pair of shoes for $12 yesterday, I knew they could look fabulous with a little added DIY touch. Got home and eye-balled a few ideas from studs to beads to chains and look what won the battle. Even though I only removed a small cotton bow, I think they go from sweet slip-on to designer flats. What do you think? 


I urge you to buy a pair of uber affordable shoes and glam them up like I've done!
