Happy Halloween (& Bon Voyage)!!!!!!!!


via; weheartit

A very happy Halloween to all my amazing readers! I hope you have the most spooky, fun Monday ever!  While I moonlighted as Hello Kitty this past weekend, I will be getting my Katniss Everdeen on tonight while trick or treating with my nephew. What are you dressing up as?

ps; this will be the last post from little ‘ole me for the next 2+ weeks as we leave on a jet plane tomorrow headed to Europe! I’m leaving you all in good hands though. Three of the coolest chicks I know will be guest blogging in my absence and I am so excited to see what they share with you all. If you are interested in keeping up with our travels, you can follow our new blog, The Bombardment Society. But more on that later! Peace & hair grease!

Lovable Friday!

1. Cloud hangers

I wish I could tell you I know exactly where you can find and purchase these adorable cloud hangers, but unfortunately, this was one of those random Tumblr finds. However, after some Internet research, I found similar ones from one of my old favorites, Fred Flare. How cute would these look in a child’s closet or just to display some special frocks? Sigh!

Hair Emergency!


OK, so I don’t know what to think about my new hair color. I figured it would be a little shocking to me the first couple of days, but I still get kind of startled in the mirror every morning. I’m also leaking red dye every night in the shower and staining all my towels (is this normal? It has never happened to me for this long…). Plus, I’m scared to wear anything too colorful for fear that I may be one big clash monster. And not wearing color makes my world a pretty sad and angry place to live in.

So, I’m conflicted. Does it look good? Should I keep it? Am I overreacting?
Or, should I grab the closest bottle of Nice ‘N Easy and go to town attempting to dull it down?

I need your help! Please answer this poll as truthfully as possible. Every vote is anonymous, so no need to worry that you are offending me. Honestly, people have been pretty candid about the way they feel about my hair already, so I am used to the looks of complete horror. 😉

And yes, that is a most excellent DRIVE SHAFT tee I am rocking. I love you, Charlie Pace.

Squeeworthy: Travalo

The Travalo caught my eye after I heard of this fantastic product from a local South Florida blogger. It seemed like the perfect item for me to try out as I was stressing as to how I was going to transport my fragrance(s) on our trip to Europe. I thought this was such a genius idea! The itty bitty Travalo is a refillable perfume atomizer that is airline approved, which means smooth sailing through security checks. Just pick your favorite fragrance, in my case, Ms. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B., and twist off the pump in order to attach the bottom of the Travelo to it.

Happy Hump Day: Adam Levine

I first discovered Maroon 5 when they were featured in a popular Floridian department store’s commercial about 9 years ago or so. I loved the song (can’t even remember the single they used now), and my friends were resourceful enough to find out that this wonderful band was coming in concert. So we bought their CD and our $5 tickets (yes, really) and saw them perform in the backstage area of an amphitheater. What I remember the most is their amazing cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Closer, and apparently what I remember the least is that a very young (& adorable) Jason Mraz opened for them. Aside from their vintage musical stylings (yeah, I’m not a fan of their more recent material), what I loved the most was Mr. Adam Levine’s good looks. Sure, he’s a d-bag and the whole nine, but have you seen him work that microphone? And have you seen him topless? It almost makes me forget that their new single sounds like the season’s new gay anthem (not that there’s anything wrong with that). 😉
