A better pic

My sister Teresa has called me Di (dye) since I was a little girl. This reminds me of her and makes me smile.

....And the gold goes too...

I'm pretty happy with my first gold charm bracelet.

Your thoughts?

My year round moisturizer

I've finally stopped looking for a moisturizer that can replace my make-shift home brewed version. No longer will I pile money on top of money when I know what works.

Not suggesting this for you, but here's my secret for all-day-long moist (sorry rhea) skin that smells good.

Teaspoon of baby oil gel and about 5 squirts of that day's bath and body works body spray. Rub them together in your palm and apply.

Maybe putting this on the worldwide web is a bad idea. Maybe I should approach B&B with my idea. A gel version to go with the lotions..... Hhhmmm. Calling them now!

Best Buy

About year ago I did something I hadn't done in years and haven't since...I paid full price for a dress. I remember being so taken by this dress that I had to do it. It was also unusual that I paid $50 for the dress. I know that $50 may not be a lot of money, but because I like to shop two of my major rules are 1- never pay full price 2 - keep the cost as low as possible. That being said, I realized today that this was one of the wisest purchases ive made in my adult life. I can dress it up or down. It is elegant, yet usuable. And to top it off this year I've decided to do get over some stuff and DO strapless. That being said, I tried to find a picture of the actual dress, but couldn't. However, here is one that is extremely close to it.

Meet the twin to my best buy ever.

Dress black heel

I toyed with whether or not to get these. I need a dress black heel but wondered if they were too, shall we say, much of a statement shoe. (And is it the statement I want to make? Giggle). After asking my sister-friends - who replied " GET THAT SHOE" I returned a gift from a friend that unfortunately didn't fit and got these girls. Thank God for sister-friends.

The second pic is the same shoe, different store minus the patent for the same price.

Sighting!!!

This a pic of a soap star from Thursday's show. An EXTREMELY similar necklace is currently $7 at Walmart in this color, a soft green, funny coral/orange, and a creme. You know I have two of the colors. Can you guess which two?

I also like what they put it with. Nice!

Statement necklace

I knew what I wanted and thought I'd rather spend the time making it than driving around looking for the vision in my head. So here it is. Over 100 beads...

At a loss...help me decide!!!

To do or not to do: linen pants. I have about 12 hour to decide.

How do you wear them? What would you put with them?

There once was a lady who lived in a shoe...

She had so many earrings she didn't know what to do. So, she whipped up this earring display HANGAR with ribbon and glue and soon will formalize this apparatus and post a new view.

Looking for an easy and quick Mother's Day gift?

No need to resort to the normal gift card or rack your brain for a creative gift. Go to Glitter (next door to the Lane Byant in the Dayton Mall) where more than half of the store has jewelry for $1. Here are some items I've picked up:























I do not receive any discounts or gifts from Glitter for this publicity.
