Fall Nail Colors!

SO....I bought all this nail polish (not all at once). I got a great deal on the Revlon colors (less than 50 cents each, reg like $4), and on the Avon colors (like, $2). But these are not quick dry formulas, and I never have a ton of time to not do anything with my hands. I read today about Sally Hansen Insta-Dri drops. Click HERE to see.
Description from the company:
Salon Style drops dry ANY nail color to the touch in as little as 30 seconds.
Quickly penetrates from base coat to top coat to completely dry manicure to a smooth hard finish in as little as 5 minutes.

I have to try this!!

A long nap....and a job

....Means mommy can sew (since all my cooking and chores are done)
I made a wetbag for Luke, since we don't have a little one and have been using eco friendly but unattractive grocery bags. I also made one for his playmate, it was fun making a girl version too.

I am also working on some wool houndstooth pants for Luke!

Also, I saw a part of a program on tv today, talking about people who are nannies. They said that a "12 hour day" is too long and they think it is best for these people to be sure and rest and take time for themselves when they get home, so they can be at their best when they are back with the kids. They reminded them that eating right and often is also important.
EXCUSE ME?!

Anyways, do any of you SAHMs get the question "WHAT do you do ALLLLL day?!"
I do. My reply is that I sit on the couch and eat ice cream and cake.
But really, next time I have to fill it out on the form I am going to put:
Nanny, teacher, chef, errand runner, personal stylist, professional organizer and maid for a family of 3. Often work overtime.
Don't get me wrong, I give myself credit for what I do, its just funny how people react when you say "stay at home mom" or you say anything listed above.

Weekly Pick List

Back on the blog...here are a few of my fave pics this week! Also, thanks for coming over and reading my amateur blog. I can't do headers, in case you didn't already notice.

1) My son has a "look" he gives. It says "This one's for my LADIEZZZ" Eyebrows raised, huge grin. Nothing beats it.

2) Bobbi Brown's Denim & Rose Palette. Click HERE. Seriously. The. Best. Makeup. Purchase. I went on a 2 week trip and all I needed was this and a couple of brushes. PERFECT!!

3) Hokey Croquis! Click HERE The best thing I ever drew in my college fashion illustration class was a box pleat. Never could get the croqui down....but these people have.

4)Anything LEOPARD print. There are some grrreat cardigans, belts, etc out there right now. The wonderful thing about leopard is that it is always in style, just happens to be huge this fall.

5)The blog "Exploits of a Military Mama" Cick HERE.
She is a cloth diapering mom who has a husband in the military. Shows what a job these military families have. Plus she's funny...feels like talking to a friend when you read her blog!

Thats all this week, stay tuned for more posts!

Blog Has Changed....

....in case you did not already notice, the blog has changed. I have so many favorites that aren't cosmetics (although cosmetics are at the top of the list)....and I want to show how to be fab even if you have kids, etc. Its hard to get fab when you stay home, some people ask "Who are you getting dressed up for?" My answer is "For me, for my baby, for my husband!" You would get dressed up and shower for some crappy job wouldn't you, so why not for the most important job you will ever do?!
Yeah I know, not all days allow complete fabulousness....but we will do what we can now, won't we? Plus, blogging about this will keep ME inspired too!

Here's to style, charm and fun!
