Awesomely Mini Food Jewelry!

Can you tell I am on a spring kick lately? I must be hungry, too. Check out these sweet Hot Dog Stud Earrings I bought!


I have loved miniature food and drink since my dollhouse phase circa 1986. But a 3 centimeter hot dog is truly timeless, don't you think? Check out some more deliciousness from Shay Aaron on Etsy.

Love this pretzel necklace!

And who doesn't need a Juicy Green Apple Ring? That's right, I thought so.

You'll Need An Awesome Stain Remover This Spring

If you are anything like me, white pants are immediately colored like a box of Crayolas five minutes after putting them on. Translation: I am messy. And with spring and summer and dripping popsicles right around the corner, it's time to shout about ZOUT! My mom and I have been fighting stains with Zout for years, and this is the one, friends, this is THE ONE that will erase that spilled wine and sangria. (sidenote: That sounds delicious about now, huh?!)

It's An Awesome Time For A Picnic!

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day! I wanted to share a picnic with my mom for MD, but we had a delightful ladies lunch at the tea room at one of our favorite antique malls. It was totes adorable! Anyhoo, we have all summer for picnics! I have some picnic staples, but was thrilled to see Real Simple's new 4 Fast, Delicious Picnics article! How awesome does this look?




I will be wearing this there.
Hopefully the ants won't find me!

I can't wait to head to the park and eat and chill. Meet me at the potato salad!

MOMS ARE AWESOME!

Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mom, sister-in-law, aunts, friends, etc. etc. Moms out there never cease to amaze me with their endless energy, open arms and ears.


Also, it's been an amazing pleasure to be "Mom" to Bertie for the past 5 years.
YAY MOMS!!
Now I'm off to spend the day with mine!

Call Home!

My mouth is watering with Awesome

No idea what that means, but it's about time I tell you about Tastespotting. Tastespotting describes itself as "A Visually-Driven Community Potluck."

You'll have to check it out, but it's amazing photos of food and drink, all mouth-watering and plenty inspiring. Each photo links to a blog, where I have found dozens of other great recipe ideas. Here are just a few from today. How else would I know where to buy this Condiment Gun (a must-have for summer!) or how to bake Nemo?
The possibilities are endless. It's a visual feast if nothing more.

As always, let us know what you find!

Bon appetit!

Awesomely Frugal Fashion Fridays: Rimmel

Mac, Shmac! The best makeup out there is from Rimmel! I have been a loyal follower of Rimmels for years. My love of eyeliner blossomed by the $1.29, thanks to their Soft Kohl Eyeliner pencil. It comes in nine shades and is under $3! I LOVE colored eyeliner and this is my favorite out there.
I know many of my glam friends out there have much fancier taste in makeup than I might, but give Rimmel a try! Love the eyeshadows and eyeliners, and I'm a big fan of their 60 Second Nail Polish as well. My favorite is this color, Delicious Dark.

Rimmel isn't the easiest to find, but they are at Target. Need I say more?

Your inner lids will thank you!

Smile pretty!

I've Been Awesomely Busy!

Greetings, my long lost blogfriends! I have emerged from the layers of pet-sitting and Photoshopping and am back with a bang to bring you the finest of the world's most awesome (or at least my small world of cats and nerdy design crap). Pardon my absence. Tell me what you have been up to that's awesome!

Back with Awesomely Frugal Fashion Fridays in a jiff!
