Not Just For Kids Anymore


As I was thinking about all of the stuff I need/want to do to get the house and things in order, I realized I really want to take a good ol' hot bubble bath. Not now mind you, but later after the rug rats are in bed.

That is when I decided to pop in here for a minute and let you know what my fav bubble bath is these days. Is it pricey? No. Does it smell awesome? I think so!

My fav bubble bath of late is none other than Johnson's Baby Bedtime Bath. It smells of Lavender and is super relaxing. After using it on my kids so many times and because my husband bought at least 10 bottles of it off of Amazon, I decided to use it for myself. Add a glass of wine and you have a nice finish to a busy day.

So tell me, what is your fav bubble bath or bath products?

Sorry For My Absence

I've been completely engrossed in trying to do some reorganizing of my home, taking care of the family, getting a sinus infection and preparing lots of kids clothes to sell on Ebay.

But have no fear! I'll be returning to you as quick as I can!

So, hang tight and send cleaning/organizing dust my way!

xoxo

Viva Glam! Lady Gaga and Cindi Lauper


Picture from TrendLand


MAC makeup does it again. According to Women's Wear Daily, Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga will be featured in the Spring 2010 Viva Glam campaign.

From WWD:

Each has created a lipstick for the cause. While Gaga and Lauper are both head over heels for Russian Red (the matte tomato red perhaps best known for being Madonna’s favorite shade in the Eighties) — “It’s in my bag right now!” exclaims Gaga — and Lauper is rather fond of the collection MAC did with Dame Edna, they’re equally excited over creating their own lipstick shades. “I do love to mix Russian Red and Lady Danger,” says Lauper. “But what really sells is the softer colors, because they’re easier to wear.”

Gaga concurs: “Every woman can relate.”

They are wearing their creations: Lauper’s is a light coral red, Gaga’s a bubble-gummy pink. Both retail for $14 and will be available in MAC stores in North America beginning today (global markets will get the colors in March). For the first time in Viva Glam history, the lipsticks are named for the women who created them, and their signatures are scrawled on the lipstick tubes.

    Jimmy Fallon Makes My Day

    Jimmy Fallon makes me smile. Sometimes he even makes me laugh.

    I watched Whip It the other day and I was totally loving the announcer, but I couldn't put my finger on who he was. It was Jimmy.

    Then today I find this clip online. I adore Glee and this bit he did for his show just made my day.

    Check it out.
