Giveaway: Be My Clementine

I’m not a good cook. I felt like I’ve tried (my hubby would argue against that), but just cannot get it down pat. I don’t know if it is a fear of getting hurt or just a lack of understanding of all things culinary (my mother never cooked either so I didn’t grow up in a kitchen), but I’m pretty terrible. I plan on continuing to make attempts, as I’d like to be able to cook something for our future children, but I digress.

Something I am good at is baking. I really enjoy it and find it to be therapeutic, especially while done listening to amazing music and sipping on good wine. It also makes me feel very girly and domestic for some reason, and every now and then, I like that. And for those fun baking-related therapy sessions of one, cute protective wear is needed. Cue Be My Clementine!

Potter Heads

Chances are, if you read my blog, you are a part of some sort of fandom. And the chances, again, are pretty high that one of those fandoms is the Potter franchise. If you are a Potter fan (or Potter Heads, as we are called), there is a serious countdown in your agenda right now: the premiere of Deathly Hallows Part 1. The movie will be released on November 18th in both traditional and IMAX theaters, and I already have my tickets for opening weekend in hand! Not only will I be attending the movie itself, but I will be attending a themed party afterwards so it is imperative that I ditch that boring Muggle wear and pick up some wizard-worthy threads. Thankfully, I’ve found the Evietees Etsy Store! They carry all sorts of fun Potter gear that cannot be found in your run-of-the-mill, local Hot Topic assuring that you will be wearing a unique piece of Potter-dom. Accio fun!

Squeeworthy: Monkey & Squirrel

I absolutely love wall hooks. I think they can spice up a room without too much effort and can also help organize. Two birds, one stone. Lately I’ve been on the hunt for some hooks after seeing how fantastic they worked in the hubs’ office space, but have had kind of a tough time. I was floored over the weekend when I window shopped at Anthropologie – I could not believe that some of their wall hooks (one beautiful octopus hook in particular) were almost $50! That’s just ridiculous. I became a little downtrodden and thought I may never find an affordable and kitschy wall hook for both my purses and necklaces – that is, until I found the Monkey & Squirrel Etsy store last night!


Cast Iron Deer – $18
Long Horn – $9
Mermaid – $16
Ye Royal – $16
Lil’ Kitty – $9
Cast Iron Horse – $18

These prices I can definitely live with – and how cute are they??? Plus, the store has other really cute items such as headbands and paperweights. Cute organization is mine! Eureka!

Lovable Friday

1. Rolling Stone True Blood Cover

It’s not rare to see hotties on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, but that didn’t stop me from literally gasping out loud when this month’s cover was released. Wowza! You have to give it up to True Blood, they know what their viewers want to see – or rather, what they don’t want to see: namely, clothes. Jennifer Aniston, eat your heart out!
