No Need to Search for a Four Leaf Clover…

Now, it’s as easy as buying them on the Internet!

It’s said that the four-leaf clover secures wealth, fame, a faithful lover and good health. Pressed between two layers of glass, these genuine four-leaf clovers are surrounded by a nickel-finished frame. Great addition to your desktop at the office or maybe even in a bright sunny window at home. I think this is a really nice item to give as a gift.

Top of the Morning to ya…

Oh now this is a great addition to our seven days of St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Oh yes, it’s really green! Luck of the Irish Top of the Morning green hot chocolate by McStevens is sure to hit the spot on a cold March 17th. Did I tell you what we’re doing for St. Patty’s Day? We’re heading to Chicago for the parade and the annual turning of the Chicago River bright green event. It’s freaky if you’ve never seen it. I’ll see if I can find some pictures from last year for you.  Spring break begins for us this Friday so the girls and I are going to take the train into the windy city for the weekend. We had our hearts set on going to Florida, but unfortunately it’s not going to be possible this year.

It’s an Organizer, It’s a Keyboard…

Well isn’t this just nifty! It’s exactly the same size as a standard keyboard too. I don’t know about you but my desk is littered with “little things” that seem to get lost. I don’t have a drawer, so I guess that’s partly my fault though. But anyway, back to this keyboard..

”The Keyboard Organizer is a unique keyboard that opens like a clam shell to enable users to store their everyday desktop items such as pens, CD’s, markers, paper clips, stamps and more.”

They also say it’s the worlds first and only patented fully functional computer keyboard that makes use of all the empty space.

Build a St. Patrick’s Day Bear

Meet Teddy O’Shamrock. Cute, isn’t he? I couldn’t leave the kids out of my 7 days of St. Patrick’s Day, could I? And of course you need an excuse to take the kids to Build-a-Bear, so here you go.

“This teddy sham-rocks! It has snow white fur with a shamrock on its belly, green paw pads, nose and even green eyes! You’re in for a lucky ride with this 15” Beary Limited™ Edition Collectibear® friend.”

Make Me Beautiful…

This past weekend while I was wandering around Target (yea my favorite store) I ventured into the makeup section. I found an awesome clearance sale going on and picked up tons of goodies. My finds included lip glosses, lipstick, eye pencils and even a few bottles of nail polish for less than a buck each. I also found 2 bottles of my favorite liquid makeup (Revlon) for $2.64 and a package of Physician’s Formula Loose-To-Go® Multi-Colored Powder for $2.64.  I had never tried this particular powder before but for less than $3.00 I thought I’d give it a whirl.

Well, I’m happy to report that I love love love this powder! I’m a redhead and needless to say I’m fair skinned. I also suffer from redness, especially on my nose and chin. I try a lot of different things to try and even out the skin tone but don’t have a lot of luck. This particular powder worked miracles I tell you! I can’t believe I never tried it before. I gave the little gadget a twirl and created the mixed loose powder. I then used the brush and applied it all over my face. I thought it would be just like any other powder but I was wrong. My pink face was perfectly even colored. I looked beautiful. Needless to say I went back to the store as quickly as I could to score some more, but I was left sad and empty. Someone else had gotten to my prized miracle powder before I had returned. Guess I’ll have to pay full price for it -but I shall not complain because I am so happy with this product that heck I’d pay 10 times that much for it. Yes, it worked that good for me.

Rainy Days Make You Cry?

Let’s make a rainbow! If you have kids, this would be a fun experiment.  Or maybe you’re having a really crappy day and long for the sunshiney carefree days of your youth.  Cheer yourself up and buy your own rainbow maker! Yes, there is such a thing. Don’t worry, I didn’t know about it either.  Here’s the description from the website:

“Stick this amazing little gadget on a sunlit window for 24 hours and watch. The solar panel powers the motor, which turns the axle, which rotates the big Swarovski crystal, throwing prisms around the room.”

Fry it up in a Pink Pan… Italian style

Pink with polka dots.. the ultimate kitchen accessory.  I am so buying this.

I’m going to turn this house into the girliest place on Earth at the rate I’m going - but you have to admit pink cookware is kind of cool.

Just a Cute Little Pink Camera

Remember long ago when cameras used to have film in them? Well, this sweet little gem is a film camera. I know you’re all into digital now, but sometimes a girl needs to get back to basics.  The pretty pink Fuji Film Nexia Q1 is small, lightweight and has quite a few nice features.  At $39.99 it’s a keeper.

Make My Fat Thighs Girly Slim!

Does it really work? Can a cream make a fat girl slim?  I’m sometimes amazed by the “promises” that product make.  Here’s the 411 on Fat Girl Slim by Bliss:

“A new, advanced technology adipose antagonist (in layman’s terms that’s fat fighter) that features QuSome encapsulated caffeine molecules for quick and targeted delivery of the skin-slimming stuff of choice of supermodels, spokespeople, and other celebs.”

It’s $25 for 6 oz. Guess it’s worth a try if you’ve got the extra $$$. But then again, how about a fresh cup of Folgers in your bath?

Make Your Laptop Sexy!

Tired of your plain old grey or black laptop? Or worse yet, your blue one? Yes, shut up.. mine is cobalt blue and I hate it.

Skin your laptop! Add some pizzazz to that boring notebook of yours today.

The skins are by a company called Skyn, which makes fashionable laptop covers. Cool, huh?

I wish they had more options though, but I guess you have to start somewhere.  When I first discovered this company they only had the plain colors, now they’ve added the Eva Collection. They describe this collection as:

“The most fashionable line of laptop covers available anywhere. our designer floral print is available in pink, blue, and purple. give your laptop that touch of glamour it’s been after...”

Skins are available for 14, 15, and 15.4 inch screens. They’re also reusable, so you can change your cover to fit your style.
