Well here we are. The day before Halloween and if you’re like me, you’re scrambling last minute for a costume for your child. Actually, I planned Little’s costume over a month ago but kept putting off making it. I’m always a DIY costumer. Growing up that’s how my family did it. One year in high school, my brother was an 80s business man and was a hit (this was before the full wave of nostalgia and rush of social media). But I digress, if you need something easy, cheap and fast, then look no further. Here’s how to make a burger costume for your infant. Continue reading
Seriously? Sciatica?: A venting session
Somehow this happened last year. Around Halloween I dropped off the face of the planet on my blog. And while that hasn’t quite happened this time, I’ve reached a weird point. Maybe it’s because there’s so much going on during the holidays that the thought of it makes me shrink into a burrito of blanket reclusiveness. More likely, it’s because I’ve developed sciatica.

DIY: Mini Halloween Wreath for Under $10!
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. Although I must admit that since becoming a mom I’ve become a big ol’ softie. I used to love horror movies and all the scary factors but I was watching some of Carrie the other day and felt so bad for the relationship between Carrie and her mother. What’s a girl to do?! Well, stick to the cutesy-side of Halloween. Continue reading

Product Review: Brite Organix’s Pastel Purple Semi-Permanent Hair Color
I finally did it. I finally added purple to my hair—much to my mom’s dismay. It didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted and I’m not sure if I’ll try again later, but FINALLY, here’s the review for Brite Organix’s Purple Pastel semi-permanent hair color. Continue reading

6 Month Update: baby got teeth

Too much. The end. Continue reading
Product Review: Graco Pack ‘n Play
I am a weakling. I spoke about this when I lamented my baby carrier and stroller woes. Partly because my baby is a big boy. Partly because I need to exercise. But that’s another post for another time. So why did my son have to grow out of his perfectly good bassinet and bouncer so early? I relied on these things to help me out. But of course, I had to come up with another solution. Continue reading
Product Review: The Melisa Michelle Palette by Ulta
I’ve always been a fan of Ulta’s in house brand of makeup. It began by necessity. The first Ulta near me opened in 2009 in the midst of the recession. I wasn’t working at the time and still in school, so my mom helped me out when I needed extra non-necessities. Here is where Ulta’s brand comes in. Continue reading
