This post brought to you by Zenni Optical. All opinions are 100% mine. I became an eyeglasses wearer as soon as I became a parent, and my tired eyes are very grateful for it. Contacts for 16+ hours a day are no fun, but I need to be able to see late at night when […]

We recently had a party, and Chef Boyardee was the chef. Well, he provided some of the food anyway, I did the actual cooking, and got to wear my first chef’s hat while doing it. I invited some friends and their children over for a small get together of about a dozen or so people, […]

Mmmmm that baked ziti looks so good. This would be a great think for my Granddaughter in college. She is always looking for something quick and easy to make.
-
Yummy recipe and easy too! Looks like a great meal for the kids 🙂
-
that looks really good and I never thought to add cheese to it like that I bet my kids would eat it that way… MAYbE
Sure it’s what’s on the inside is what counts, but did you know that what’s on the outside (and more specifically, what’s on your head) can lead to assumptions about what’s inside? Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly on first impressions when it comes to your hair (including what hair men like […]

I have naturally auburn/red hair, but I guess it is more brownish red. I prefer blond, LOL. My hair is naturally wavy, so I use my big barrel curling iron to curl the ends and make them flippy and curly 🙂
-
Curlywavybobbedbrownish red. Curlywavy because I don’t have time to straighten it, bobbed because it’s easier to keep neat than long and needs cutting less often, brownish red to cover the grey – less about who I am but more about who I need to be!
-
My hair is more red now that I’m older. I love me some read heads!!!!!!!!
And I have long hair. I don’t think I’m that soft haha.
-
Long hair here. I sometimes go straight and sometimes curl it. Depends on my mood. 🙂 I’m naturally a brunette, but color it blonde.
-
I have dark hair with slightly wavy however more straight hair. I straighten every single day which equals pain in the butt. I do believe men love long hair and brunettes;)
-
I flip-flop between my natural jet-black and high/low lights of lighter brown. I just went back to black as the highlights are too much (time and money) to keep up. Plus, at this stage, I think my natural color suits me more.

Thx for this quick read – just added it to my FB page! Thx

As a male with curly hair, I have to add another trait that people perceive with curly hair (both male and female) and that is rebellious.
Since I have long curly hair, I have had many females telling me that my curly hair looks rebellious and asking if I was the lead singer of any famous band. Thing is, I have had the same comments from ladies when my curls were shorter. Moreover, I find that women love a properly looked after mane, whether straight or curly haired.
With regards to color, black haired women tend to be viewed as mystical and sensual whereas blondes are fun and sexy. By ” tend” I am referring to what I have heard for I don’t particularly share that line of thought and dislike stereotyping.
All the best.

My natural color is light brown and my hair is naturally straight. Although in recent years if I air dry it, my hair takes on a slight wave. Since I usually blow dry my hair my hair is generally straight and I have it highlighted blonde so my natural color is woven in there and doesn’t look as harsh and isn’t as damaging (as you pointed out) on my hair. I also prefer highlighting to all over color because since my natural color is still there as the base, I don’t have to spend as much on frequent trips to the salon since there isn’t such an obvious line of demarcation.
I definitely think color can transform your impression of a person but I didn’t realize that texture played a role as well!
-
So I’m grounded, stable, earthy, reliable, self-sufficient, feminine, and soft. Yeah I just have long brown hair!
-
Great post! As someone who has changed her hair a ton, I’ve had it the same for a while and I’m itching for a change -but I want to grow it out super long, so I may just have to become a blonde! 🙂

If there are two things I really love, it’s springtime and shopping! Once my baby is born, I can not WAIT to hit my favorite online shops for some retail therapy. I didn’t shop after my first son was born, knowing we’d have a second child and aware that my body measurements might continuously change. […]
-
Have fun shopping mama!
-
I am in love with most of those dresses – it looks like we share the same taste!
-
Ooh so nice. That lingerie is definitely sexy. I hear congrats are in order mama!! So happy and congratulations to all of you.
-
I absolutely LOVE that black dress and that white dress, too fun and cute! I agree with you on being in the middle and not being able to focus on yourself because you are not done having kids yet. That is where I am at right now!
-
Hi! Where did you find the pink polka dot umbrella? I’m going to Paris in the fall and was hoping to get a really cute umbrella bc I hear it rains a lot there in the fall. Also I like the red bra and panty set….where’d that come from? Thanks!
-
You pictured some great finds. I LOVE sun dresses with flip flops or sandals during the spring/summer and I adore sexy lingerie ALL year around!

I love salad, and my husband loves steak, so a favorite family meal has been my Steak Tostada Salad Recipe, which offers us both what we love in one tasty meal. From the seasoned steak to the crispy tostada shell, everything is absolutely delicious, and the tostada shell also keeps everything neatly in one fun, […]
-

This looks incredible Penelope. My husband would love this.
-
My husband would love this! He’s a fan of steak and salad and all things Mexican but I think the real selling point would be the amount of steak on the salad!
-
These look amazing. If you’re lazier (like me) you could purchase premade tostada shells too.
-
That looks amazing, I love steak salads!

Oh boy does that ever look good. It kind of reminds me of my husband’s favorite salad, the fajita salad. What I like best about your salad is how simple it is. It looks healthy and nutritious! Thanks for the inspiration!
-
Same in this household, I’ve never understood my husband’s need to have meat with everything! Thanks for sharing, the salad looks yummy and I can have it with or without the steak (that I’m going to get my husband to cook on the BBQ).

Sounds like you can get some pretty inexpensive glasses from Zenni.
I think about 10 years ago I started getting dry eyes and that’s what made me go full time to glasses. I do like having several pairs handy, because if I ever lost them or they broke, I’m pretty much done for.
I need some new glasses, I should get them here next time. Save some money
Great prices! I am shopping this week for a couple new pairs or 3:)
Going to look at what they have. Both hubby and I wear glasses and I’d like to have an extra pair to keep in the car.
Definitely going to check them out, as I am in dire needs of some new glasses.
Great deals!
wow, great deals on glasses
Very nice!
I’m always nervous to get glasses on-line
Sounds like some really great pricing, I might have to have a look
I had LASIK 7 years ago and my eyesight is still pretty good but I think pregnancy has made things a little fuzzy so I might need to get some cheap eyeglasses and see how they do for me.
Hubs sees the eye doctor this week, and I am due for my eye exam.
I really need to visit their site since I am a glass wearing crazy fanatic! My glasses always cost in the $500.00 range!
thanks for sharing these great offers
Thanks for sharing!
I need some new glasses so bad. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!
