Fabulous Finds Friday – Sleep.

You got it.  Sleep.

There is no actual fabulous find today – why?

This.week.has.been.insanely.crazy.

With the opening of the week including a major technological crash (my cell phone), meet the teacher, school shopping, pre-teen frustrations and puppy dog training (she hates people…another story all together…)I’ve just not had any opportunity to find something really rockin’ awesome to share.

So, the thing I reccomend this Fabulous Friday?

Cuddle up with the one you love, put on a great movie, and relax.

We’ll be back to normal (as normal as I can be anyway – really) tomorrow.

And, if you have any fabulous finds suggestions, send them my way. 

Have a great day!  I’m off to do more shopping…school starts Monday.  Oh and on that note…enjoy my most favorite commercial ever:

Scooter Stroller

Remember when you were a kid and you’d go grocery shopping with your mom – and when she wasn’t looking you’d take a running start and then jump up on the wheel bar of the shopping cart and ride it through the store?

I remember it like it was yesterday…

Probably because I did do that yesterday.

I’m not completely convinced that this fun little shopping pastime didn’t spawn this idea:

Not sure exactly what that is?

Here’s a better picture:

*blink*

{shaking head}

I am so disappointed that my kids no longer need strollers.

Thank you Matt and Eunice for throwing this our way.  I’m pretty sure I might still want to get one for Summer…ya think it’s adaptable for dogs?

Fashion Tech-sessory

Admit it, you like the title of this post.

Heh.

I’ve spent the last two days trying to set up a new cell phone.  You would think that in this age of all the technological advances and blah blah blah – there’d be an easier way to do this.

And for the record, I’m NOT technologically challenged.  Promise.

But – I do love me a good piece of technology.  And a good purse.  I have several purses.

I do not have this purse:

And quite frankly I’m confused…is this so that people around you can watch TV?  Because walking and watching cannot be safe…  Is there going to be a rash of women walking down crowded streets holding their bags in front of their faces because the latest “Twilight” movie is playing on their bag?  Imagine the car accidents – you thought driving and putting on makeup was bad – how about driving while watching Edward and Jacob fight for Bella’s undying love and devotion?

It’s a safety issue I tell you – safety PEOPLE!

And just imagine those women that suffer from OCOS disorder – Obsessive Compulsive Oh SHINY! – This is just plain cruel.  Am I right Ginger?  Ginger? – hey get away from those marbles….Ginger…GINGER????

(Love ya Gingah – mean it babe!)

Oh and if you do decide the safety risk is worth it…be prepared to pay top dollar for this one of a kind hand bag – and for the TV service subscription as well.

Bumpits

Yet another product that I am a victim proud owner of.

You see ----  *enter sad infomercial music here*  I was born with…fine, limp hair.

It’s true.  I know.  Someone should hold a telethon.

So, because you already know that I’m a very hip and with it – and NOW type of person – and the only way for me to get the latest style in my hair was to back comb it until there was a little bit of height in it.

Yes, I’ve also tried root lifter.  And I feel that product is inappropriately named.  It did not lift my roots at all – they still had sad little faces and poor attitudes.

Anyway I bought some bumpits with the hope of an age-appropriate hair style that didn’t require much back combing or uplifting of the roots.

Let me ask you a question…have you ever back combed your hair (ratted, teased, etc) and then gotten your comb stuck and had to pull it out? 

Or have you moms ever tried to get a sucker (previously sucked on) out of a child’s hair?

That is exactly what it takes to get a bumpit out of your hair.

There are tiny little comb-like teeth on the banana shaped dohickey.  You are supposed to tease your hair and then insert the bumpit then gently smooth the rest of the hair over it.

HA!

gently…whatever.

Maybe I’m inept.  I suppose this could all be user error.  But it took me a solid 30 minutes (and lots of tears) to get the stupid thing out of my hair.  While there was a lot of laughter coming from the other room.  I’m going to assume  my family was watching an old episode of The Andy Griffith Show and not laughing at me.

It doesn’t matter anyway.  I’ve given up.  I don’t need hair like this:

wait – that’s what it looked like after removing the bumpit…

yea, that’s it…I don’t need hair like this.

Eye Tattoo

I’m not much of a makeup wearer.

Probably because I’m naturally beautiful…and humble…but mostly beautiful.

But the little bit of Makeup I do wear comes from one of those boutique-y shops that sells the kind of makeup that is supposed to be good for your face (because you know, purposely making your face dirty every day is good for it…)

Anyway – while I was shopping one day, I found these:

They are rub on tattoos – for your eyes!  Forget trying to get the “smokey eye” with differing shades of brown and black – heck no!  Just press one of these babies against your eye …

So you know I bought some, right?  I had to try them out.

*the following story is true – although no photographic evidence exists – I swear, it’s true…I couldn’t possibly make this stuff up.*

I decided to buy the Smokey eye set – although animal prints were intriguing, I couldn’t think of any real-world applications for them – after all, it is JULY, not OCTOBER.

The instructions seemed simple enough, remove the protective backing, apply to eye, remove carefully and then brush with the setting powder.

OK.

I remove the protective backing.

I then take about fifteen minutes to look over the product. 

I can’t seem to figure out which end is up.  Does anyone know – for a smoky eye does the dark part go on top or bottom?  I do a quick internet search and decide it goes on top…back to my project.

I cut the piece in half so that each “eye” is on a single piece of paper.  I figure this is smart, because you see I don’t want to smudge the other eye while I’m working with the first one.  I’m really proud of this discovery – because you see it didn’t say to do that in the instructions.

I lift the shadow to my eye and apply.

I then think back to my childhood days of temporary tattoos – you had to press HARD for those to transfer.

So the pressing commenced.

This is where I should note that this isn’t your typical tattoo…it’s powder with some sort of an adhesive built in.  You can lightly brush your finger past, and it’s gonna get some shadow on it.  But, I didn’t think of that.  I PRESSED.

Note number two – don’t apply in haste – make sure it’s on straight.

I’m just sayin’.

When I removed – actually peeled – this thing back – first, it hurt.  I’m not sure if it’s because of the extra pressing, or just because the adhesive is that strong…either way, it was not a comfortable experience.  Again, pretty sure it was user related, and not product related.

I looked in the mirror at my handy work.

um…

Not so much smoky eye – more like, well ---- (and this is NOT me)  This:

Why the lack of photographic evidence you ask?  Well – quite frankly, I was worried I’d scare my kids.

That and I was pretty sure my husband might make fun of me for life.

So I tried to scrub it off.  

It didn’t feel good at all to scrub off.  This stuff is definitely meant to stay.

Thank goodness I had some heavy duty makeup remover left over from Halloween.

It did leave me with some red eye lids which did scare the kids.  I promise it was a lot less traumatizing than the smoky eye effect.  Well, maybe…

Football Fanatics

I’m a football fan.

Big. Fan.

I have a college team – BYU (Go Cougars!) and my NFL team is ….

DA BEARS.

Ahem…sorry.

Anyway – football season starts soon.  And I’m so excited I can barely stand it.   So I started shopping for Bears and Cougars regalia so we can properly enjoy football season.  You know, the standard stuff – Jersey’s, blankets, hats with soda pop can holders…

And don’t forget the double zero Jersey for the dog…

Wait, what?

Here’s the deal – I do admit to dressing my dog.  I have a Chihuahua and she gets cold so I do have a few t-shirts and sweaters for her.  HOWEVER – I’ve never spent more than two dollars on any one shirt.

This. Jersey. Is. $29.95.

I don’t think I’ve ever spent that on any one item of my own clothing.   I’m a bargain shopper…

So to re-cap…I’m a football fanatic.  I dress my dog.  I’m not crazy enough to dress my dog in a jersey that costs more than two pairs of jeans from the Target.

That is all.
