Vaseline Spray & Go

I've been seeing a lot of bloggers say how much they love Vaseline's new Spray & go moisturizers. So I had to check it out. I had a coupon & got the Cocoa radiant scent. It smells so good.

Mommy & Me Monday

We took this pic last week. Tara wouldn't smile, so I tickled her. Works great. Not so sure about my headband. I love the pattern, but not sure about the bow/knot. I might try it a different way the next time that I wear it. I also got a Sugar skull headband from the same company.

New England Minute~Flea market

We went to a flea market on Saturday. I hadn't been to 1 for about 5 years. The 1st thing I saw when I got there was The Mountain fairy t-shirts. I collect them, but they didn't have any in size small. A lot of them I already had. I'm hoping to check out another local flea market soon.
 
 
 
I got these 2 Essie polishes for $3 each. 2 polishes that I've been wanting, Bikini so Teeny & Meet Me at Sunset.

1st Motorcycle ride

Last week Anthony got Tara a motorcycle helmet. I was thinking she probably would never use it. She hates the sound of the motorcycle & puts her hands over her ears everytime he turns it on. I never thought she would really get on it. But today she went for her 1st ride. They went around the corner & then drove by our house (I got a short video, not sure how to add videos on here) & then went to a ball field near us & the gas station. Anthony said everyone was smiling at them. She went in the gas station with him & had her helmet on. I'm so proud of her. She loved it. My little biker chick.
 





Off they go.

Nail Files. Week # 85

This week I have on my new Sephora by OPI polish~Call Your Mother. It's not my regular shade. I love purple, but it's a bit dull. I really want to try some different colors/shades, so I like it for that.

Birthday in a Box, Pinata review

If you are planning your child's birthday party, Birthday in a Box has birthday party kits that you can order. They have different themes & in the kit you receive napkins, plates, cups, a tablecover, spoons, forks etc... Tara's 6th birthday was in July & she decided that she wanted a luau them. So we ended up picking a Birthday in a Box, pinata kit & got a cute hula girl.




 I loved the flowers in her hair & her cute flip flops (didn't really get them in this photo). The kit came along with a 3 lb bag of candy & a blindfold for the kids to wear, that was kind of pretty. Not all of the kids wanted to wear it.


 
We thought that the pinata kind of looked like Tara. They looked so cute together.


She really fell in love with her & got really sad when one of her friends finally broke her open. I felt so bad. All that was left was her head. She still has it hanging on our mantel. Originally she didn't want anyone to hit her & just wanted to pull her string, so she could keep her, intact.

 
Check out Birthday in a Box for your next party.

Accomplished 1 of the things on my bucket list

I was hoping to finish 1 book this Summer & I did the other night. It took me 3 weeks. I was pretty proud of myself, it usually takes me 3 months. That's my new thing, reading about 20 minutes before I go to bed. It's kind of nice having some quiet time after 8-10 hrs with the Drama Queen.
 
 
Yesterday I got another book by Laura Childs from the library. It has the same character, Theodosia in it.

Mommy & Me Monday

This was taken at the Hard Rock cafe in Boston. I was hoping that hubs would get a picture of whole cymbals wall behind us. He zoomed in too much.

Surprise packages rock

A few weeks ago my pen pal that lives in MO told me she had mailed me 2 envelopes. She had sent me some stuff & hoped that I could use it. So when I opened the packages I was so happy. 1 had a bunch of mineral eye shadows. A bunch of different colors by Mica beauty. I've never used that brand before. The loose powders are so messy, but they are pretty colors. 2 Kat Von D loose powders too.
 

 Then 3 Kat Von D lipglosses. We had a catastrophe, after I took a photo of these lip glosses Tara took them & lost them. 2 days later (today), she found them. Yay. She got mad at me a week ago & hid my Opi Nail envy ($13) in the kleenex box in the bathroom. I was so mad. If she didn't tell me where she put it, I would have to go out & buy another 1 (that took a few days of me asking her if she took it, where was it etc.. too). So she was punished & I'm trying to teach her to not take/hide my things.

 
 I love make-up & I have some really awesome pen pals.
