Something For The Kiddies
I am loving these bookends for kids, I am a huge believer in buying your little ones books and reading to them, it doesn't matter if they listen to you or not while you are reading to them, but this will encourage them to read and trust me it will help later on in the future.

What is a girls best friend
Throughout the past few days I’ve been debating with people, on what a girl’s best friend is. I’m sure everyone’s heard of the famous phrase, “A diamond is a girl’s best friend.” but is that really true anymore?
A while ago I read a quote by a shoe designer once say, “A girl’s best friend is not a diamond, but a pair of shoes.” My friend finds this very true and that girls treasure their shoes more than anything. However, I feel like diamonds are more precious and timeless than shoes and they definitely don’t wear out as much! (but i am still a shoe freak)
Many people might also refer to the popular saying, ” A dog is a man’s best friend.” and agree that a dog is a woman’s best friend as well. True, dogs unlike cats are very loyal towards their owners, always willing to serve and protect them anytime. They are so bright and full of energy, and I’m sure that a dog can bring a smile to just about anyone’s face. They are just too cute, aren’t they?
There are so many things that girls treasure. Makeup, skin care products, clothes, magazines, cell phones, boyfriends, and the list can go on and on.
As I wrote before, there are so many things that a girl loves and treasures, and I’m sure it defers with each and every girl. Some people think it’s money, a friend of mine thinks it’s shoes, and my guy friend, well this was his reply, “Oh geez. Girl’s are so complicated! Some like this, some like that. Don’t ask me!” But in the end, his answer was money.
What do you think is a girls best friend?

My Winter Must Haves
Staying Warm
I always look forward to the winter season because it is fashion time, It’s also Christmas time and everyone gets together and celebrates the end of the year. But there’s one thing I absolutely despise about this season – the cold.
Although it’s warm inside, it’s always harder for me to get out of bed or do simple errands outside when the temperature starts sinking below freezing. Yet, during the winter, some of the most exciting things to do, like playing in the snow, tree lighting, are outside. Inside candles always lid, if you have a fireplace then you have the up and going.
So if you happen to be like me that can’t stand the cold, but don’t want to be discouraged by the weather, here are some simple solutions to beating the cold weather and staying warm, yet looking fabulous:
Boots
I can’t stress enough how great boots are in the winter. Not only are they stylish, they add a layer to your legs, keeping them warm. I recommend those that have some kind of fleece lining like the popular UGG boots, that i so much love and my husband so much hates.
Scarves,
Hats and Gloves Don’t run out of the house with these essentials. Although they might seem unnecessary at first, you’ll find that these accessories come in handy while you go for a stroll in the snow or find yourself window shopping at an outdoor mall. I personally love scarves very stylish.
Coat
These are by far one of the warmest coats I’ve come across.

Winter is so fun because you can wear lots of cute layers. Cable knit sweaters are some of my favorites because of their neat pattern and they look good in all sorts of colors.

Loving The New Ad
Loving the new Dior ad.
The actress Natile Portman, is the new face of The Parfums Christian Dior line — and in a new ad for Miss Dior Cherie, Portman appears topless, with her hands covering her chest.
Wearing just a black bow in her hair, the Black Swan star gives a sexy look over her shoulder.

Dry Skin
Dry Skin
I'm not sure if this happens to you but I know it does to me, although I do mositure everyday, my skin tends to dry, specially in the winter, well I did some research and decided to share this with you all. Hopefully this will work for you.
Why you're dry: Dry heat, hot showers, harsh detergents, and…forgetfulness? It's true: Eighty percent of us claim to have dry skin, according to Olay, the global skincare brand, but only 43 percent moisturize daily. You do the math.

Moisturize Your Body—All of It
Why you're dry: Dry heat, hot showers, harsh detergents, and…forgetfulness? It's true: Eighty percent of us claim to have dry skin, according to Olay, the global skincare brand, but only 43 percent moisturize daily. You do the math.
The fix: "Moisturizer draws water into the epidermis and prevents it from escaping," says Howard Murad, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at UCLA. And because they work best on wet skin, new in-shower body lotions—which you use after cleansing, like a conditioner, to hydrate and soften skin—make a lot of sense. They also make it easy to moisturize (or remember) hard-to-reach places like our back and stomach. Most formulas contain a humectant, such as glycerin, to attract water and a concentrated dose of ultraemollient petrolatum to lock it in. The real trick for scientists was getting the stuff to stay on when you rinse. David Canestrari, senior research and development manager for Unilever Skin Global Innovation Center, says that their in-shower lotion (Suave Skin Therapy Skin Conditioner, $3) has a slight positive charge, so it adheres well to skin, which naturally has a slight negative charge. Whatever. It works.)

Happy New Years
Happy New Years To All,
Hoping that this year brings you all love, happiness, health and money. Did anyone make any resolutions? I normally do but this year I think I will pass, I am a firm believer that no matter what time of the month or year, you should always accomplish your goals, with this said, I think I will do just that... instead of sticking to some resolution that I might end up breaking later in the month.
I know I haven't been blogging enough lately but between work and home I am a busy little bee, who wishes at times to be cloned. I will take more time to blog more and as always about celebs, home decor, family, babies, relationships, events, fashion and sharing some personal pics. I hope you all enjoy my blog.

Every Mom Needs Her Time
Every mommy needs her time!, I am a true and firm believer, ladies being a mom is the best in the world! however many of us once we become mothers, we forget about what it is to have time for your self to unwind. We all need time to enjoy ourselves, being a mommies brings tons of joy, but a fun day out with your family or friends has no price, this is like re-charging your batteries and being just you and not the worried mommy. I truly believe that all mothers should take time to enjoy and just be you!
Below are some pictures of some fabulous mothers who took a night out to have dinner and drinks. This was an awesome night, fun, girl chatting and picture taking, you should all put it to the test and you will see that 2 hours or 3 is enough time to re-charge... now get dress look pretty and go have some great laughs.

Awesome night!
