Speaking of Metallics . . .

I'm currently loving the use of gold in beauty products. Although I tend to wear more natural make-up colors {does lip gloss count??}, I'm willing to give some of these golden looks a try.

The hubby's birthday is on Wednesday and we're throwing a little soiree on Saturday to celebrate. Unfortunately, I don't have a thing to wear, so what's a girl to do?? Budget shop, of course! Metallics make perfect party gear, and I've got just the right budget finds in mind!

J. Lo Gold Satin Pumps . . . $87.99

Gold Tunic . . . $19.80

Metallic Reptile Clutch . . . $9.80

Add in a pair of black leggings or skinny jeans and we've got the perfect party attire!

Mollie Dash

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

You know that feeling of elation you get when you go through grandma's jewel box and find that unexpected something special? Well that's the same feeling I get when I look at Mollie Dash's finds and trinkets. Each handmade piece is one of a kind and somehow manages to strike the perfect balance between femme fatale and tomboy. The bonus . . . each piece is made from found materials making it easy to make eco-friendly shopping choices.

PS. You can check out her blog here . . .

Ms. Stress . . . .

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Mama's {me that is} has been a little stressed with the creation of Aquarian Thoughts and being a mother and a wife-to-be {no, still no date set} and the new freelance schedule and getting our place together and just living in general . . . So instead of shopping till I dropped {or cried with buyer's remorse} I decided to do a little de-stressing by attacking my senses with some goodnis . . .

1. First I start with music. A little Billie Holiday does it every time. Something about her voice is very soothing and automatically relaxes me. My favorite tune, I Love You Porgy, happens to be one of the more depressing songs, but I love it nonetheless . . .

2. A drop or two of tea tree oil massaged behind the ears or on the temples instantaneously calms my nerves. Since tea tree oil is usually sold in such small bottles, you can carry this with you to work and use it throughout the day.

3. Incense are great for more than covering up some naughty habits. Incense are great tools of aromatherapy as well. My all time favorite scent is Nag Champa, but incense come in a variety of scents and can be purchased at most bath and body shops. {PS. Not into the smoke created by incense? Try an oil burner!}

4. Luckily enough I was blessed with a little midget with a great sense of humor. Finger painting with him {especially with paints that require very little cleaning} helps me realize what's really important and takes my mind off of everything else.

5. Lastly a warm bath using Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap can help create the perfect ending to a stressful day. Just add two capfuls to running water and relax . . . the bonus . . . the packaging serves as great reading material as you soak . . .

Is there anything you do to relax? Care to share? . . . Now excuse me as I return to pulling out my hair . . .
