Friday Finds: Fun Bandages!

Best.

Bandages.

Ever.

 

 

 These are WAY cooler than regular brown/clear bandages. You're not going to find these babies in the drug store... Nope! I found all these at Urban Outfitters. Adult versions, but don't worry... I still rock my Hello Kitty bandages. And actually Miss Erin got me the Sh*t Happens bandages!

 

 

So go out there, stub a toe, and blame it on your ninja fight!

Friday Finds: New at Sephora

Went on Sephora.com and checked out some of the new things they had. Here are my favs!

Bliss FatGirlSixpack

If you want a flaunt-worthy core, this tummy-targeting gel is sure to ‘cut it.’ Designed to help you sculpt the ultimate six-pack by firming and toning, this breakthrough tool/formula hybrid uses six super-effective ingredients that will give you the abs of steel you’ve always wanted. While decreasing the appearance of bloating and cellulite, this product tones and tightens for a sleeker, smoother, healthier-looking stomach.

 I love me some Bliss FatGirl products! I just wish I was more faithful to them and used them regularly... they smell awesome!

Sephora's Moonshadow Baked Palette - In The Heat

Create a variety of summery eye looks with this palette of dry-baked shadows, from soft and sultry, to smoky and sizzling. Finishes range from sheer to intense and look extra-stunning when layered together. I love neutral palettes and this one has a little of color for when I feel like jazzin' up with some pop!

Nails Inc. Neon and Nude Collection

Opposites attract in this gorgeous set of long-lasting shades in neon and nude. The nails inc. formulation has been specially created and developed using the latest professional technologies for instant and exceptional results. The formulation is ultra glossy and easy to apply so that you get the best possible results every time.

 I'm loving the summer pop colors: the reds, corals, oranges, yellows, everything that screams HOT! And this perfect for summer toes in the sand!

(& I'm sure MMW's soon-to-be fav too!)

 Sephora + Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Eye Shadow Palette

Open your eyes to the sparkling vitality of the season and let vivid sunsets, cool blue waters, and bright flowers inspire your look with this set, including seven gorgeous shades from the Pantone Summer trend book and an additional 28 harmonious hues. The creamy, ultra-fine formulas glide on with a second-skin effect and the pure color lasts all day. The buildable coverage ensures a perfect finish every time, from dazzling, smoldering eyes, to subdued and romantic. The ultra-sleek package is the thinnest palette on the market and it easily slips into your purse for on-the-go beauty.

This was the first product I saw on their website (best for last). Ever since I was little I've been "collecting" eye shadows and palette and so I'm sure I have most all of these colors, but who doesn't love this, I mean, come on... it's the rainbow in Pantone!

On the iPod Today: Tighten Up by The Black Keys

I'm loving this song right now and can't get enough of it. And the video is super cute too with true love all around! Enjoy and Happy Friday!

I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
Oh, what can I do?
Yeah

Take my badge but my heart remains
Lovin' you, baby child
Tighten up on your reins
You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild
It's true

Sick for days,
So many ways
I'm achin' now,
'M achin' now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how,
Oh show me how
To get right,
Yes outta sight

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down,
Oh slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around,
Oh come around
'Cause I've found

Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while live knowing
Such a shame

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear

Is there ever a time where you take the lid off our steaming pot and have no place to put it... tight kitchen space, no counter room, just don't want to make a mess...?

This has happened to me too.

I'm really thinking about getting this neat little stand.

Friday Find: The Spoon Sisters Rose Stem Cleaner

Pin It

Hey Men!

Valentine's Day is coming up and I have the best tool for your fresh bouquet of roses (that you already have planned) to give your sweetheart! The Rose Steam Cleaner (thank you Spoon Sisters)! 

You can use this handy tool to effortlessly (and painlessly!) strip stubborn thorns from stems. "The spring-action handle on this unique tool protects your hands from thorns, while the finger supports ensure a non-slip grip. The durable metal blades are honed to reduce tearing or peeling of the rose stem."

Or Ladies, use this tool if he accidentally leaves the thorns on. Either way it's a great find, and also great for your favorite gardner too!

Friday Find: Fisher Price Apptivity Case

Laugh & Learn Apptivity Case

 From Fisher Price

This sturdy case will protect your iPhone or iPod Touch from baby's messes and unwanted call making... or in my case unwanted texting. Busy beads and a mirror add baby-appropriate play. And free Laugh & Learn apps mean plenty of learning time!


Simply pop your smart phone inside this whimsical case to save it from drops, drools, and teething.

This sounds amazing for my little Ryster! He already turbo crawls toward my phone... should I be careless and leave it on the ground.

Now all they need to create is something for the iPads...

Friday Find: No Carve Pumpkins!

No Carve Pumpkins with Happy Tape!

Great idea Real Simple!

Want some tape but with attitude?! Washi paper tape is just like masking tape but available in tons of patterns and colors. "Ready, set, get stickin'!"

Supplies:
- Dry erase marker in a light color (avoid black)
- Scissors
- Washi tape, happytape.com 

Instructions:
1. Using the dry erase marker, create your design, which will guide you when placing the tape. (The marker is great for this project because it lets you draw, rinse, and repeat!)

2. Once you’re set with your design, begin applying tape to the pumpkin's surface. Try using longer strips when possible, because piecing together too many short strips will look sloppy. For this design, begin at the stem and run your tape down the side of the pumpkin, erasing the markings as you adhere the strips to the surface. Finish at the bottom of the pumpkin. After all of the vertical stripes have been made, apply tape around the circumference of the pumpkin to complete your pattern. (If you'd rather stick with stripes, skip the final crisscross step.)

I love, Love, LOVE this idea! My good friend Erin posted a piece about happy tape on her blog way back when and now I see Real Simple has been bit with the washi-tap-love-bug too! Yeah they're a bit pricey compared to Scotch or any clear-taped brand... but can you really put a price on creative decorating? I think not! :)

Friday Find! - Paper Pots

PAPER POTS!

Now I found this silly find from Real Simple's email and I love it!

Love all the colors and love the simple look to them!

My friend/coworker uses toilet paper as her tissue paper of choice rather than using Kleenex! My grandmother likes to give her grief over it, because she keeps a stash of TP in her desk drawer! It's hilarious! So I'm going to snag this find and give it to her as a gag-gift. Little does she know, you can use the pot for both toilet paper AND tissue paper!

Let me explain:
