Yo Gabba Gabba Party, Part 1

Look what I got, Look what Muffin got in the mail! Aren't they super cute?! They're favor boxes for her Yo Gabba Gabba party. Which I am assembling, on my off day. (I would much rather be getting pampered at a spa, or on an island getaway. But apparently, those adult activities are too time consuming doing BIRTHDAY WEEK 2012!)  Okay, so back to the boxes.. They were very hard to put together, until I looked at the bottom and saw the numbers. Luckily they aren't too hard. ;-) Hopefully I can get them all made, while she takes a nap! Oh! Check the bottom right corner! Do you see that?...You see em?!?! DJ LANCE ROCK GLASSES! 

I haven't put them on, so I have no idea how they fit..

Ok..I lied!

LOL! I can't wait for Muffin's birthday party!!!

 Ciao, dolls!

Packages and Pink Soap

 Anyone that really knows me, knows I have an infatuation with sweet smelling stuff. Sooo..it seems only appropriate that I bathe my little Muffin in.......BIRTHDAY CAKE SOAP! It is awesome! Well, it's more than awesome. It's really yummy! It smells soooo good. I'd eat it if I could. Wait! It's a vegan product, so maybe I can! I'm just kidding, I wouldn't eat soap. But, maybe it's calorie-free and better for me than cupcakes?! Lol. But She just had her bath, and now everything smells like I just baked a cake. Would you like some birthday cake soap of your own?!  *drumroll* I'm doing a giveaway in a few weeks, and some will be inside!

In party-related news. I have a yucky peach paper slip from the good ole boys down at USPS. Which means I have to GO PICK UP A FRIGGIN BOX! I loove getting mail, but I HATE when I have to go pick it up. Losers! I know what the package is though. It's some fun Yo Gabba Gabba goodness for her birthday party. I could tell you...but I'd rather show you after the party!


I hope you have a nice cake-smelling night of your own! XOXO,

Dear Love, WHYYYY?!?!

 I'm serious! Really?! Really, love?! Is this where we are? In this sad little place! I had a very realistic, come to Jesus meeting with myself this morning. It was as if I had an epiphany while washing my face....

 I think divorce, and a very HORRIBLE 3 year roller coaster of (NOT) love, have made me a commitment-phobe. There I said it. Okay. Well maybe I've always known that, and I just didn't want to admit it. About a week ago, A guy I dated in the past, called me. He asked me to come over and said he wanted to talk. I'll fast forward to the good part. Basically, he said to me. "I was told, that you never took me serious, and you never put all of your eggs in one basket."   Crickets....tumbleweeds....."Well...yeah..that's true." Yes, that was me, I said that. I know, I know! But I was honest! What does he want from me?!?!

If I'm not in a serious, super serious relationship, then I should be dating. Right?! Don't answer, I'll do what I want. So I'm serial dating. I'm keeping my options open. I've let go of everyone from the past. Because...I need to move on from this sad little cell, that love locked me in. I've done enough time.

I've spent a lot of time, being afraid, being the runaway bride, and jumping ship, the minute that things get hard. Because for the past few years, I've pretended I was serious, when I really wasn't. So this time...I'm gonna put my all in it. Ouch. That really hurt to say that. I'm gonna give it my all. Nope, still hurts the second time.  Smh...this is gonna be soooo hard.

I don't know why Love has done this to me. I feel the sudden urge to really, get back on the horse, and be serious. Not just fake serious, but really serious. Imagine my serious face! Lol..Okay, no laughing. I'm serious!

DISCLAIMER: If you're reading this, and I told you I loved you in the past few years...well...I mean...ya know... ;-)

Glam on a Budget: Missoni for Target

 I've always been a Target super fan. Okay, scratch that, I didn't really become a super fan until high-end designers started giving Target the time of day. That was a win/win situation for everybody. That being said, I don't think I've been this excited about anything at Target in my LIFE! And that's a long time! Seeing as how I'm almost 28, err I mean  25! Either you're counting the days just like me, or you've been living under a rock! *yelling in my megaphone* MISSONI will have a 400 piece line for Target!! The prices will range from $2.99 - $599. I know, that's a huge range. But Target reports that most items will be less than $40. *side eye* Define "most", please! The Missoni line will be available online and in Target from Sept-Oct. Anywho, the link to the lookbook is below, dolls! You can thank me by buying me a few pieces!

My top picks: ballet flats, dinnerware,scarves, headbands, ties, sweater dresses, photo frames..Oh and if the man you own has been behaving, then you should get him a tie too.

PINKY DAMONE TIP: I have a few Missoni pieces that I've purchased in the past. THINK CLASSIC! Buy things that will be timeless, and will add to your style collection, Otherwise, they'll just end up in that dark corner of your closet. You know, where fad fashion goes to die. Remember those fanny packs, shoulder pad outfits, Ed Hardy shirts, and Juicy jumpsuits. *shaking my head sadly*  Be smart dolls!


More bracelets, more blessings!

Shop Update and Shenanigans

Let's see! Where do I start?! I've been MIA for a while, but I'm slowly returning. I've just a had a lot of things aka SHENANIGANS that I've been clearing off my plate. I'm working on new products, relocation plants, a YouTube channel, and a ton of other things. Let me just say this: I appreciate everyone's interest in the shop. I GREATLY appreciate your tweets, Facebook messages, emails, etc. Unfortunately I won't be opening my shop until Christmas, or early January. I've got a LOT of things to do in the next 6 months, and I won't have time to fulfill the orders. But I'll be sure to let you know when everything is up and running again. I know. Breaks my heart. But..if you want the rainbow, you must put up with the rain.

It's a weekend, and I don't have much to do today. I'm gonna check out some diy, and natural hair sites..and maybe do a twistout or a coil out on my hair. I really need to increase my water and vitamin intake if I want my hair to remain healthy.  I wish there was a pill that contained 8 glasses of water. That would make my LIFE! LOL! I'm the worst when it comes to drinking water. Well that's all I've got for now..ciao dolls!

Addicted to retail...Kanye was right!

Have I mentioned that I'm supposed to be saving?! Or did I just forget to mention it so I couldn't be held accountable for my actions?  *crickets...tumbleweeds* Ok, well anyway...I made two online purchases today. I'm pretty sure that online purchases aren't real purchases. Right? *more crickets and tumbleweeds*

Anywho..I bought a MAC lustreglass in Boy Bait. In my defense, I was on the search for another nude everyday lipgloss.

Isn't it preeetty?! What doll can resist anything from MAC?! And THEN I turned RIGHT around and purchased a perfume called Pink Sugar.



 All because they both sounded amazing in a blog by AisforAlex. She did a "what's in my bag" youtube video. Again, *cough* In my defense..I was looking for another everyday perfume. Ok. I'm not purchasing anything else for the next week....Let us pray! TTFN DOLLS!

I'm having a relapse..time for another tattoo!

Soo..apparently I don't have anything else I should be doing with my money. Okay. So I'm a liar. But never mind that. It is time for more ink. I just can't stop myself. This will be my 4th tattoo. And sadly, it won't be my last. I'm an artist, and you can't be an artist without an insane amount of tattoos right?! Don't answer that, just support my addiction. I plan to do it before summer is over, so that it can get some air. I won't give too much away..but I will say..birds of a feather flock together! Wink wink!

Time to revamp

I'm undergoing a complete transformation. I'm moving forward with a new outlook on life, a new company, a new love interest, and new aspirations. I can't wait to get to where I'm going.

That being said..I'm brainstorming to create new innovative shop items. I'm also gonna market myself better. I've put my creativity on the back burner, since I found out I was pregnant. I promised to devote myself completely to her for the first year. Now my beautiful little monster is one, so it's time to get back to me. Suuuper hype about that.

I'll be back...soon

Sooo...I haven't posted in a while due to a sick little muffin, a 10 page paper, *rolling my eyes*, and deep and profound thoughts about moving out of state. *sigh* I shall return!

I tried a few products...

 Take a look at this product closely. Go ahead. Closer. Zoom in. It's Curls Curl Creme Brulee, for Target. Keep looking at it. Well now you can't get any closer because I just knocked it from my sink and into the trash. This concoction DID not work for me AT ALL! In fact it made my hair dry, brittle, and disgusting. I just felt soooo sory for my hair! I'm still shaking my head. Sadness. But every cloud has a silver lining! I had to wash this out IMMEDIATELY, and I ended up trying out another product!

While reading Meechy Monroe's blog, I read that Cantu Shea Butter leave in treatment was one of her favorite products. I gave it a try, and used it for my twistout last night. This treatment is sooo moisturizing. And it has sort of a watery feel, so your hair just soaks it right on up! I love it, and I will never leave its side!

While I was at Target picking up the Creme Brulee *shivers* I saw that they offer Kinky Curly curling Custard, as well as Knot Today. They were out of stock. I really want to try the Knot Today. I already have some Kinky Curly. I said, that I would give it another try after my hair got a bit longer. I believe I'll do that tomorrow. I WISH Targer would get Miss Jessies. That would make me  veeery happy. I'd love to score some buttercreme on sale!

In other news, education utopia is over. Spring Break is over and I must return to the warzone tomorrow. Pray for me dolls!

It's almost my hair anniversary!!!

It seems like I did the big chop only yesterday!!! Can't you just see the baloons and confetti?! I'm so excited that I've stuck it out! I've even gotten a few people to become natural as well! I promise to be better to my hair this year. It's certainly been good to me!

Getting back to me

I swore to myself that I would NEVER be that Mom. You know, the kind that loses herself after she has her child. And slowly...I've sort of disappeared. I've put a lot of my energy into being a mom, working, and concentrating on my last year of school. But I've put my blog, my hair, my business..and a ton of other things on the back burner. And that stops today! I'm throwing myself back into everything..COMPLETELY! This is my rebirth. I'm excited, and FOCUSED!

A collection of sorts

Sooo..I've decided that I don't have enough vices or addictions! Interesting huh?! Sidenote: I've got tons of shoes, handbags, and jewelry. Yes, I collect them as if there will be a prize for my hard work! Anywho, I've decided  that I want to collect something. I haven't decided on what, exactly. I actually had this exact same convo with my best friend a few years ago. My mother collects watches. She has 90284598435. I\'m not a big fan of watches, and I never have been. But lately, my left wrist feels a bit NAKED! Which really sucks because I just got a tattoo on the inside of it. But I think I'm going to start buying watches and wearing them,. I really like overly huge men's watches. I want those. Nothing too cutesy or small. But I'm getting off track. I'm REALLY hyped about wanting to collect something. I don't know why. Where did this come from?

Okay, so I'd also like to collect cookie jars....Maybe that's a bad idea. It would probably inspire me to just bake more cookies.

I've thought about milk glass. I'm REALLY leaning towards this one. I absolutely love milk glass. Yeah. I know. It's sort of old ladyish, but I love it!

I'll be back with a verdict..and more options. You can bet on it.

In other news, I have amazing ideas for my etsy store..I've got to get cracking on those asap! I just put Muffin to sleep, so I'm gonna eat (yes at 10:30 pm, sadly) and then go to bed.
