Save your skin!

I'm getting so excited for summer and you know why--this year I'm going to take care of my skin and actually use sunblock instead of baby oil. It's definitely a slow transition though--I've started using hawaiin tropic #4 tanning oil. For me this is a huge step in the right direction--it may not seem like it--but it is!

Now here is the best part--any Will Ferrell fans out there? He's coming out with his own suntan lotion! Once I heard the news; that was my deciding factor. Who wouldn't want to walk around with these bottles of suntan lotion!

What's In A Name?

I was with one of my co-workers driving to pick up lunch the other day and she began complaining about the condition of her recently purchased designer watch. The watch she was wearing had a white leather band and was purchased from a high-end accessories designer for $160(sale price). The white leather was already wearing out and making the watch appear dingy. I said to her “isn’t it funny how you think when you pay big bucks for designer merchandise that you don’t actually always receive a higher quality product” I don’t know about you but when I spend my money on a product I don’t just want to pay for some designers name to be on the item, I want the item to be well made.

Out at sea with NKOTB!

Well, it's already here and gone. I can't believe it! I'm still glowing from the trip and thrilled with the experience. It was TOTALLY worth it. I was never one of those girls who knew every detail about the New Kids on the Block. As a matter of fact I recall my friend laughing hysterically at me for saying Joey's last name wrong in HS. It's sheer blasphemy, I know, for any hardcore NKOTB fan.

We boarded the ship on Friday 5/15 and the guys came out for a big sail away party. They sang and greeted fans and were just cool guys! There were games, Q&A sessions, concerts and plenty of opportunities to meet the guys, including a photo session that I'll never forget! We were photographed in somewhat random groups of 10. I walked right up to Jonathan, we very politely shook hands and I said "if it's not too forward, may I sit on your lap?" Remember that line from Dirty Dancing "I carried a watermelon!" yeah, that's me! Can't wait to get the picture though!!

The previous day we had a near collision with Donnie and Danny and their security guards in the hallway as they judged the door decorating contest. Danny turned to my friends and I and said "Do any of you have a Sharpie?" We very quietly shook our heads and replied "noooooo." haha Then we all but ran away. I've never thought of myself as being the kind of girl who gets star struck, but it was just so cool to be on this huge ship and randomly run into these guys!

So, I had an amazing time and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a great kickoff to the summer. The metrostyle clothes I bought were perfect for the hot Bahamas weather. There is one important lesson to be learned though. When you have a specific dress you're planning on wearing to an event, make sure you have similar straps on your bathing suit! (photo is NOT me)

Have a super-fantastic summer everyone!

Steal of the Day

Have you seen the new steal of the day? I love it!! Each day we are featuring one hot item at one low price! (Can you tell that I work in marketing?)

The timing couldn't be better for me. It has been 6 months since I had my son and I am just starting to see my old waistline again! Mama needs some new clothes!

Guys and Shoes

It really drives me crazy when guys don't know what shoes to wear with their clothes. It's annoying to see a guy wearing a really nice outfit with...sneakers or wearing a more casual outfit, like jeans, with a dressy pair of shoes. I don't really get what makes it so difficult for men to understand what shoes to put on with what outfit...it's not rocket science! I guess it just comes easier for the female population, and we know right away what shoes to wear, or bettet yet what NOT to wear. Guys really need to start taking notice of what they put on their feet because it's something a lot of ladies notice...don't you agree?

There are just some things men will never be able to do without the help of a smart, stylish woman. Picking out their shoes will probably always be one of them! Do you ever have to pick out your husband's, boyfriend's, brother's, son's or even dad's shoes?? Because I do! MEN!!!
