I’m pretty sure if my furniture could speak, they would want new shoes. Confused? These pegs fit on most IKEA furniture and bring a little bit of flair, fun and youth to your pieces. Being a strong IKEA supporter, I would kind of love to have some for our soon to be new coffee table. After all, who am I to deny those I love a few new shoes.
Although I don’t focus too much on beauty products (although I really should – my skin needs it), the Million Moments of Touch campaign from NIVEA really spoke to me. The year-long program aims to get couples kissing, hugging and touching one again after getting a hunch that modern, fast–paced living was taking a toll on touch, intimacy and relationships. They commissioned a study to conduct research and obtain a deeper understanding and what they found was pretty eye-opening. What stood out the most for me was the fact that 57.2% of Americans say they touch their cell phones “always or quite a bit,” whereas 28.6% say they touch a family member and 16.7% say they touch their closest friend always or quite a bit. We literally touch our cell phones more than our loved ones. How scary and sad is that?
Plus, my beautiful and awesome friend, Rosa Cordero of Accidental Sexiness is their Latina Brand Ambassador! Way to represent, honey doll!
For that reason, I’d love to give you all their PDA kit, which includes:
– NIVEA Touch of Renewal lathering body scrub
– NIVEA Extended Moisture daily lotion
– NIVEA A Kiss of Vitamin Swirl lip care
– NIVEA for Men Energy face care gel moisturizer
– NIVEA for Men Relax body wash
To enter, just comment to this post with what makes you want to touch or get closer to someone. A week from today, 4/19, I will pick a winner at random! Good luck, readers!
311 has been one of my favorite bands for a very long time. In fact, I remember blasting their self-titled item in my mom’s car when I was about 14 as we pulled into a McDonald’s drive thru and the cashier complimenting me on my amazing taste in music (naturally). Ever since, they remind me of sunny days, the ocean and my youth. I especially love listening to them on gorgeous summer days with the windows down – it gives me this wonderful feeling of utter happiness and like anything is possible. I secretly desire to go on their cruise (it leaves out of Miami), but I just haven’t been able to justify the cost (yet). With that said, I’ve always had quite the thing for lead singer/guitarist, Nick Hexum. Blame it on the shimmy, the crusty 90’s bleached hair (so bad) or just his rugged good looks, either way, I was hooked.
I remember being so excited to finally see them live at Warped Tour 2001. Unfortunately, I had one of those terrible concert moments where I collapsed due to heat/claustrophobia within the first song and had to be carried out of the crowd. Thankfully, I was able to wake up and watch from afar, but I won’t lie: it’s made me want to see them the right way ever since. One day, one day. Until then, check out these lovely pictures of Mr. Hexum.
For being someone that adores color and brights, I have been deathly afraid to give color blocking a whirl. Maybe I fear that I will just take the idea and run with it. After all, once you give me access to color, I tend to turn into a crazy 6-year-old child. But, I had a lot of fun putting this one together. So much fun, in fact, that I may just try it again. 😉
I am in love with this airy blouse from Conversation Pieces. It is the perfect spring item to pair with a great pair of colored skinnies, which I did for a very busy Saturday with friends. I had to work in the morning, quickly followed by a girls lunch at Scotty’s Landing and then an amazing Panther game with more friends. I had to make sure I looked comfortable and cute, and this definitely fit the bill.
I added this fun nautical jacket for the hockey game, and I am so glad I did! It was absolutely freezing for this Miami girl, but the team’s amazing shots and nerve-wracking moments proved to provide a little warmth here and there.
