Planet Beauty to Host an Event Benefiting the OC Chapter of JDRF
Planet Beauty to Host an Evening Filled with Benefaction and Beauty Benefiting The Orange County Chapter of JDRF! Last week my daughter and I walked into the new Planet Beauty store in The Bluffs shopping center in Newport to kill some time before her dentist appointment. I had to get some face cream and she of course was having a good ‘ol time making herself up which entailed eye shadow under her eyes so she looked like a football player. I had a chance to talk with the nice girls who work there and they told me about an upcoming event they are hosting that will benefit The Orange County…

Fashion :: Winter Hat Trends 2013
I love hats! I know I mentioned that I love coats and boots in several of my posts… but I am seeing more and more hats being worn by both men and women and I love it! My husband on the other hand, is not a big fan of seeing men wearing Fedora hats and thinks they look better on women than men, but I personally say bring back the days of women and men wearing stylish hats. Disneyland even makes some cute fedora hats and I purchased one on our last trip because I forgot to bring one to the park. I love the contrast polka dots and stripes…

Stay Fit with These Mommy and Me Activities
Just after my first child was born, I completely lost track of my weight. I was so busy spending time bonding with my daughter that I stopped taking care of my body. If someone told me that I could have been working out while connecting with my baby, I probably would have thought they were a sandwich short of a picnic. By the time the Mommy & Me exercise craze hit, my daughter was already out of diapers, but I had taken notice. During my second pregnancy, I gained 40 pounds and developed tendonitis in my shoulder. After my son was born, I immediately signed up for…

Saving Money this Holiday Season
You have probably seen your local retailers starting to put up holiday decorations already. It seems like every year they put them up earlier and earlier in the season! I don’t really mind as I love this time of year but it was surprising when we hit our local Marshall’s last week to get a few last minute Halloween decorations only to find the shelves filled only with Christmas and Hanukah knickknacks and really nothing left to buy for Halloween! But as this year, Hanukah is coming early (the day after Thanksgiving) so I have to get on it and start shopping. Every year I try to take…

Fashion :: Transpire Summer Dresses into Fall Outfits
Many of you know by now about my obsession with coats (and did I mention boots?). Unfortunately the weather here in southern California is anything but wintery! So I have been wearing my summer dresses and turning them into early fall outfits. Lately, I have been really enjoying wearing dresses for several reasons. 1) they are easy to wear 2) you look pulled together (even if you don’t feel like it) and 3) if you pair it with some boots and a light sweater they can be worn into early fall. I have found some wonderful lightweight dresses at our local resale boutique for next to nothing and plan to add the new…
