Princess charming
Princess perfume by Vera Wang makes you feel like a perfectly perfumed princess
Every girl wants to grow up to be a princess.
When I was a little girl I would host Princess tea parties for my Cabbage Patch Kids every Sunday afternoon. I served animal crackers, wrapped Werthers Originals and lukewarm Coca-Cola in tiny little plastic teacups. I would wear dainty white gloves and dab at the corners of my mouth with lacy napkins. I would brag to my guests that Prince William and I were secretly betrothed. He would show up one day and whisk me away to England with a glass slipper on a pillow… I was worried that it might not fit since I wore orthopedic shoes back then.
Prince William never did show up.
Now I’m all grown up, a hard-working gal who does her own chores, whistles while she works and settles for Tazo Black Teas to-go from Starbucks. I may never have the chance to enjoy high tea with the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, but I can still smell like a princess, every time I spray on a hint of Princess Perfume by Vera Wang from FragranceX.com.
Come on baby light my camp fire
Camping fire starter gets your camp fire started in seconds
I’m a survivor.
When I go camping, I camp kick it back old school. Most campers would consider me a camping purist. I don’t believe in smuggling in luxury items like electronic devices, cushy bedding or toilet paper, and who needs matches or lighters?! I am man, I make fire!
When enjoying the great outdoors I rely on three simple things…
1. My survival instincts.
2. A handful of soft leaves.
3. This Camp Fire Starter from Big Edge Camping & Hiking.
This Light My Fire Maya Dust Fire starter helps you light camp fires with ease no matter what the weather conditions are. Even Charlie McGee (Drew Barrymore’s character in “Firestarter”) would be jealous.
Put another dime in the radio jukebox baby
Radio jukebox plugs into your USB for access to 13,000 radio stations
Video didn’t kill the radio star for me. Neither did the iPod.
I still tune in to my loyally programmed radio stations on the way to work every day. I could never abandon my favorite morning radio show, NPR or new indie music discovered by my favorite college deejays. I am completely committed to radio technology, but sometimes I want a little more from my local radio waves.
Now I have it with this USB Internet Radio Jukebox from Newegg.com that allows me to easily access more than 13,000 radio stations around the world.
Now if I want to listen to some Mexican [woh oh] radio… I can.
A fine tooth switchblade comb
Switchblade combs are the coolest combs on the street
You gotta love the fifties.
The fabulous two tone cars with wings and lots of chrome, the chicks in poodle skirts, the open all night diners where roller skating cuties would deliver your meals on wheels. Those were the good old days, the Happy Days.
When I was a kid I wanted to be just like the Fonz or one of the Jets from West Side Story when I grew up. They could snap fingers to get girls, dance up a storm while still looking tough and their hair was always perfectly coiffed. If I weren’t sporting the shaved look these days, I would totally pick up this Switchblade Comb from Cruisin USA. It fits discreetly in your pocket and looks like a real switchblade knife. Whip it out whenever your hairdo isn’t cutting it…
just make sure there aren’t any cops around.
I am not a paper cup
Porcelain coffee cups for eco-friendly coffee drinking
I am NOT a paper cup. I repeat, I am NOT a paper cup.
I may look like a paper cup, act like a paper cup and hold coffee like a paper cup, but I am most certainly not a paper cup. Enough about what I am not… here is what I am.
- I am a porcelain coffee cup.
- I am white.
- I come with my own silicone lid.
- I am eco-friendly.
- I am dishwasher safe.
- I am microwave safe.
- I am 3.5 x 3.5 x 6 inches tall.
- I am from Modcloth.
I am saving the environment, one disposable coffee cup at a time.
Mini brownie me
Mini brownies in tasty mini sampler sizes
They say good things come in small packages. This is true for some things, but not all…
When it comes to my daughter’s skirts, I prefer maxi over mini.
When it comes to evening heels…the bigger the heel, the sexier the shoe.
Diamonds… enough said.
When it comes to brownies, normally I say the bigger the better… unless you’re on a diet. In that case, mini works out just fine. Now I can have my brownie cakes and eat them too with this Half Dozen Sampler of Mini Brownies from The Exceptional Brownie. I love getting to sample three delicious flavors, and so does my waistline.
I’ll get you my pretty, and your heavy door too
Decorative door stopper to keep your doors wide open
Sometimes you have an open door policy, sometimes you’d rather keep things behind closed doors. When the annoying building alarm has mulfunctioned, door closed. When there’s juicy office gossip circulating in the room next door, my door is always open.
I love the musical Wicked, so I’m really loving this Wicked/Wizard of Oz inspired Decorative Door Stopper from Colorful Images. It does the trick every time, keeping my door securely ajar when I’m open for gossip, visitors and cute little black doggies. I only need to beware of the flying monkeys. Nigel hates those guys.
