Cute Outfit Ideas for Spring 2012 – Emily Fields, Cece, Aria Montgomery Fashion
Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Here are two fool-proof outfit ideas for spring 2012. Just try not to go overboard on buying great Butter nail polishes (because it can happen, and it’s…well, no, it’s not tragic at all, actually. They are AMAZING.)
This first outfit utilizes a long printed maxi dress that you probably already own from last summer. Then you take a cropped jacket, and pile on a large gold statement necklace for the entire downtown-city-boho-chic look! And I included a Butter nail polish in this fabulous dark turquoise because I love Butter nail polish colors. TV characters that might wear this include: Emily Fields from Pretty Little Liars when dressing up for a date (see: How to dress like Emily Fields), Alex from Happy Endings (see: How to dress like Alex Happy Endings Fashion) or Cece from New Girl (Cece New Girl fashion.)

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS prom dresses – Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer
Monday, April 9th, 2012
You know your Pretty Little Liars always love to dress up for a great dance. Let’s look at what we’d put them in, using selections from promgirl.net.
The reason why we’re focusing on prom dresses from that site is because we now know how great they are. We had a chance to review this cocktail dress by Clarisse. It comes in white, light pink (coral), or blue. We choose the pink, as it’s perfect for a short, Spring dress. It’s a sale dress, and they have a price match guarantee – which is so nice. It’s such a nice dress because there’s a bit of texture without there being any print. Which means you can pair this with bold accessories. Silhouette wise, this is short and body-conscious. Luckily, there’s a nice lining for the pretty pink dress. The rhinestone pin is removable, so you can use it or not. The dress arrived right on time (fast!), and packaged in plastic and on a hanger. All in all, we are very pleased with our interaction with promgirl.net and would order a dress there again. Their swiftness of service really can’t be beat. And, as we’ve pro ... Read More

Help for Dark Underarms! DOVE Clear Tone Reviews
Wednesday, April 4th, 2012
Our favorite brand with the peaceful dove as a logo has a new product called Dove® Clear Tone Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant. It was created for women to even out skin tone and reduce any dark or red marks on their underarms. It does this with the help of Calendula, Sunflower seed extracts, and unique Dove® moisturizers that help aid your body with its built-in natural skin renewal process.
I wasn’t sure that this was an issue for a lot of people until I went a a’googling around. Apparently plenty of people search for “underarms dark,” and ”underarms dark home remedies.” But you don’t need a home remedy when you have something that will work. And don’t be embarrassed to admit you have any discoloration under your arms, because it can happen from wearing a tight top or a sleeveless shirt where your skin touches itself and has friction.
The clincher: And really, much as we want it smooth, we want it to look good if we’re gonna wear a tank top!
Dove Clear Tone ReviewMy underarms aren’t too dark, but I do deal with this issue in a spot on my face and it drives me CRAZY. Seriously, crazy! And I also crazy moisturize that area all the time. I thi ... Read More
Delicious Different Brownie Types Reviewed
Wednesday, April 4th, 2012
If you crave brownie variety, I just found your heaven. Gourmet Gift Baskets sent along their Brownies Sampler Bakery Gift for me to review and give an honest opinion about for you guys. And…oh my goodness. Seriously? I really, really was impressed.
Aside from me passing along this knowledge, you’re probably interested in the BROWNIE GIVEAWAY that ShesSmart.com is running right now. Go enter!
These are moist, fudgy brownies. With the large assortment, my favorite was definitely the unusual, sweet ones: white chocolate macademia nut, butterscotch (perfect consistency, I must say), cheesecake. (Cheesecake pairs excellently with chocolate, duh!)
The pictures are perfect for showing you exactly how they arrive. Moist in the middle, delicious, crackly layer on top. You’ll smack your lips. Even better, each of these brownie types is packaged in its own little plastic unit. Which means you can so, so easily take one to work or for a school lunch. Heck, if you’re feeling selfless go share one with someone else. And you’ll feel very generous, because these brownies are huge! They’re larger than you’d think to cut for y ... Read More

Ergonomic Grater by SLICE – review
Monday, April 2nd, 2012
I can’t think of any way an ergonomic grater could be better than this Slice one designed by Karim Rashid.
The Slice grater uses ceramic teeth because it’s non-allergenic, chemically neutral, impervious to acid, fat and salt. What does this mean? t won’t rust and it will stay sharp.The only issue I have is that ceramic can break easier than stainless steel. However, this is a cute design and it will easily stand up on your counter without wobbling. So, that problem is fixed basically as soon as it arises in your mind.
The soft handle is perfect to hold as you grate, and it doesn’t slip or budge in your fingers.
It’s different than the graters you have seen with holes, and that was done because this style is easier to clean.
Product features for this ergonomic grater
- Ceramic lasts longer than steel - Stays sharp - Never rusts - Lightweight non-slip finish - Hard-cheese (ergonomic cheese grater), ginger, radish, citrus peel, etc. - Design by Karim Rashid

Ergonomic Pepper and Salt Grinder by SLICE – review
Monday, April 2nd, 2012
I’m a major ergonomic enthusiast, and that’s one of the main reasons I’m so drawn to Slice products. But it’s by no means the only reason.
After having a chance to use the Slice Ceramic Mill, I’m ready to endorse it fully. I opted for the black and white option, so that I could easily tell between pepper (peppercorns) and sea salt. The design is by Karim Rashid.
SLICE Ceramic Mill - Black and White
Shaking out stale flakes of pepper is never good, you have to grind it to get the flavor. So when I say these are ergonomic salt and pepper shakers, it’s only because you might not realize you should be searching for ergonomic salt and pepper grinders.
The look of this grinder is very modern. It’s glossy and mostly white. That’s not entirely the look of my kitchen, but the usefulness outweighs everything. Plus, the more I look at it the cuter it seems. It reminds me of a frog with two big eyes.

This is not the elephant trunk sleeve sweater you’ve already seen a million times.
While the sleeve trunk sweater is cute, it can’t compare with something hand-knit! Here, you see this adorable kids sweater and there’s an elephant trunk in the front that was stitched and attached separatley. I couldn’t resist showing you guys. If you do know how to knit, I imagine this could be a pretty fun project to tackle.
