It's Not Even 11 a.m...

And I could already use this handy WTF stamp on a variety of papers and emails and conversations this morning.


The KnockKnock brand has loads of funny post-it and notepads, but this stamp really puts your WTF in ink. That's what I'm talking about.

XOXO!

This Looks Awesome: Dr. Pepper Cake!

Gotta love the South and its ability to supply Dr. Pepper to us all quite readily. Looks like this Dr. Pepper cake from SheWearsManyHats will be just what the doctor ordered. YUM-O! And Happy Birthday, Pablo!

Great Find and Great Idea

AAAD Reader Lynn just sent me this little gem:

"This is from a mommy blog I read that I love. She writes letters to her kids on their bdays and now she’s writing one to herself. Sort of reflects everything all of us should want to remind our own selves of."

Read the awesome here.

Thanks, Lynn!

I Changed My Hur

(warning: self-indulgent post)
Thursday I was having ahellovaday at work and decided to impulsively change my hair. My ABQ friends will be not surprised by the least as I was trying to "find myself" at that time through differences in hair dye. Anyhoo, I called my mom to find the name of her lady since my mom is amazingly chic and the kind of awesome woman who would not go to a hairdresser who needs an appointment. So, I got the intersection of the salon and the name of the stylist "MIRA!" and headed up for a change. I got there and of course (my mom is not the best with names) there was no Mira there but Anita was there and ready to rescue my mood and my frizz. This woman was the bomb and convinced me (easily) to go for the new Brazilian Blowout trend for just $85. I had never met her before but trusted her to straighten (for 6 weeks!) and cut my hair into whatever. She even threw in a free cut since I was a referral from my mom. AWESOME. The cut is perfect for me and the straight hair is like a gift sent from God for an early Hanukkah for all Jews nationwide. I loved this woman and have her info if anyone wants it. Total score.

The best part of the story is that my mom found this hairdresser by approaching a woman at Ross whose cut she admired. I love my mom. She would talk to a wall. And in this case, talking to another random bargain shopper turned out to be a golden opportunity.


Oh, and I thought I'd wear my hair like this until I was blow-drying this morning and brushed my "bangs" forward. I am feeling a little Justine Bieber but I am going for it. He/She is America's Sweetheart.



XOXO.

Love These

I used to spend way more time on Flickr, and then I found Etsy, and all went to shit. Not really, I just spent a ton more money. Well, this flickr stream by Recovering Lazyholic is so worth the next 5 hours of your time. There are a ton of sets. Have a looksie. Trust me you will be amused. Here are a few from the "Need to Want Less" set that I found particularly LOL-inducing and so so true.




Enjoy!

Awesome Stay-On Coasters

I've been meaning to post these adorable Dimmalimm stay-on coasters for months ever since I spotted them on Amy's sweet sweet blog. Well, Amy, aren't you the trend-finder since now they are featured in this month's Real Simple. These beautiful felt hibiscus coasters hug your wine glass about as tight as I hug mine. Check back on Dimmalimm's etsy shop for updates, but for now, you can snag these babies on their site, where they have even more colors and designs. What a delightful summer gift!

Cheers!
