  • Yuck! Nothing there is “fashion”. Those jeans are ridiculous, well everything is lol

  • Nolie

    You have got to be kidding me. That first pic… those are real??

  • Melinda

    how hysterical!

  • lisa

    as my kids would say…what the?

  • Sam

    Oh my Lord…who on earth would wear those things? I actually know who would wear the last ones, because I believe I saw them on Victoria Beckham in a magazine. Very strange.

  • eve

    I see stuff like this at our local walmart ALL THE TIME!!! Its sooo crazy lol

  • Sarah

    You can be sure it wasn’t me! I can’t imagine trying to walk in either of those pairs of “shoes”. And the jeans? Gross!

  • Robin @ Blommi

    Hey, I think I used to own those boots ๐Ÿ˜›

  • Kelly

    Oh my!

  • SERIOUSLY? There is NOTHING even REMOTELY attractive about ANY of those pieces.

    Blech.

  • Penelope

    hee hee

  • man, those jeans sure are HAWT. It scares me that people actually buy this stuff (besides Lady Gaga!)

  • HilLesha

    I love fashion, but this is ridiculous! I’d die laughing if I saw anyone wear those thong jeans or whatever you want to call them. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Annie @ Mama Dweeb

    that is awesome!! They need like “mom” versions of those – granny panty pants and heel-less tennis shoes. I am laughing so hard right now. this is awesome! Thanks for the smile!

  • Alea

    Thanks for the laugh!

  • Shop with Me Mama

    Ahahaha! I have seen those jeans before, I actually have a few pairs of them in my closet and I am wearing those shoes right now…..

  • Tammy

    Those boots kill me! Seriously what were the designers thinking?

  • Mother Mayhem

    BWAHAHA! Somewhere there must be a shirt that goes with those jeans… Paired with the jacket and heeless shoes, the outfit would be da bomb.

  • MOM's BEST BETS

    EEWW..The jeans are the worst. Actually, they made me chuckle.
    BTW:Thanks for the compliment on my header. I think it’s better smaller too.

Who Unfollowed Me On Twitter?

Who unfollowed me on twitter? I’m not really asking, so don’t worry if you did. But I found a neat application that I wanted to share that will help you keep track of who 1. unfollowed you, and 2. who isn’t following you backโ€ฆ.if you’re curious to know *wink*. It’s called Who.Unfollowed.Me, and all you […]

  • Tammy

    Quite honestly, I’m not sure I want to know, I think it will make me feel bad, LOL

  • JulieD

    Nice, Penelope! ๐Ÿ™‚ These spammers are getting really annoying.

  • Laura @ GotChocolate

    Cool application. Thanks for sharing Penelope! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Alicia

    LOL…I wish they had this for Facebook!

  • Penelope

    I knowโ€ฆI looked. There is one app for the old facebook, but you have to download stuff, install it into your computer, etc and I was not going to do all that. I like online apps that don’t interfere with my actual computer.

  • Theresa @ Faith and Family Reviews

    Hmm….interesting. Never heard of it and will have to check it out. But I do not know if it I want to know either. It’s amazing what people come up with though. Technology almost knows no bounds, eh?

  • Shop with Me Mama

    Thanks for the linkys, I will have to check them out ๐Ÿ™‚

  • HilLesha

    Neat!

  • Dee

    Since I try to follow everyone who follows me I noticed the numbers which should have been close together were tipped very much in favor of me following but with over 1000 followers I’s hard to tell who is and isn’t on both lists so this is going to be very useful. I used it last night and was able to get the numbers within 30 of each other since there are some I follow because I WANT to and not because I feel obligated to anymore.

  • Thanks for the remind about this — I did it awhile ago and it was very interesting! I need to go do it again.

  • Nolie

    Sounds like a cool site. Going to check it out. Curiosity killed the cat they say.

  • noelle

    i do mine through nutshell mail…
    LOL, it tells your new followers, those that stopped following you and a daily recap of your facebook… such as how many views/likes all that good stuff! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Sounds neat. I think I may get my feelings hurt though. I should probably stay away LOL!

  • lisa

    thanks for sharing this. i really don’t pay much attention to my followers but will now probably be addicted to it ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Sam

    I think it would hurt my feelings to find out too, lol…especially if it was someone I knew.

  • I”m so on this right now as you know i was checking my acct @Nightowlmama. I try to follow everyone that follows me and then I see just a month later they unfollow me.
    I think sometimes twitter is messed up but hopefully this app will work for me thanks for the reminder

  • Rico Swaff

    I love this app….use it whenever I use twitter…which has been decreasing lately.

Jennifer Aniston’s New Look

I’ve been looking for a new style, and Jennifer Aniston’s hair over the years has always been something of an inspiration to me, both for the gorgeous shades of caramel and blonde she’s sported, and the styles. Sometimes she wear it pin-straight, other times with some wave, but it’s always full, shiny, sexy and layered. […]

  • Jessica

    Can’t wait. I always feel like my arm is on the verge of falling off and it’s never as smooth as what they do at the salon. Looking forward to your tutorial.

  • her new doo makes her look old. I too love the long locks look and i can’t wait to see you video

  • Bob

    I think its a great new look!

  • She’s so pretty and she’s always had great hair. I love her new look!

    I’m looking forward to your blow out tips!

  • Laura @ GotChocolate

    Wow, I’m NOT digging her new look. Way too fake looking. I like her hair in the 2nd picture though. Natural looking!

    I think I’m the only female on the planet who has never had her hair died. Although, I’m getting some gray hairs, so perhaps it’s TIME!!! Hee hee!

  • I’d love her hair!

  • JDaniel4's Mom

    I think she could do anything with her hair and it would look great.

  • Ooh can’t wait. I love her new do!

  • lisa

    i swear if i was flthy rich i’d first hire a chef, then a maid and then a hairstylist. i stink at styling my hair and i totally want jennifer anniston hair. but my kids killed my hair. pre kids i had hair that would do that waving full look. now if it gets long its thin and stringy and gross. dang kids ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Mother Mayhem

    My hair is a cross between Rod Stewart and Moe from the Three Stooges. I don’t think a blow out would help. Chuckle.

    Jennifer’s new do is gorgeous. Suits her very well.

  • Kelly

    I love Jennifer Aniston! I used to request highlights like hers for years, then went brunette, but want to go back again after seeing these pics! I can’t wait for your tutorial!

  • Sam

    I think she’s beautiful regardless of how her hair looks. I have a girl crush, lol.

  • HilLesha

    I love her hair, too!

  • I love Jennifer’s hairstyles too and look forward to your tutorial. Even though I have a good quality Parlux hairdryer and GHD straightening irons I still have trouble getting my hair to look like a hairdresser does it. Of course they practice a lot more than me. In fact that’s what my hairdresser said – to practice. Instead of blobbing on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon, he instructed me to wash and blowdry my hair to practice getting better. Have I done this once? No.

    I read a while back that Jennifer is an example of the Colour Me Beautiful season I am (Soft Summer). I’ve always remembered that and enjoy seeing what colours she looks good in.

  • Nolie

    I love the 3rd look. Considering for my hair cut.

  • I can’t wait to see your tutorial! I have always loved her look too, hair, clothes, everything. Such a pretty lady.

  • Penelope

    That third look is my favorite too.

  • Shop with Me Mama

    Would love to see your tutorial too! My hair is soooo thick and wavy in some parts, so having it blown-out salon style would be awesome. I have had it done before and loved it. oh, and Jennifer Aniston is absolutely GORGEOUS! I love her!

  • Tammy

    I like her hair when it’s straight – I need hair advice like crazy so bring the vlog on!

Inconceivable- Book Review

What if you wanted to have children, and the only way left to you was IVF? What if you find out the fertility implanted someone else’s embryo inside you? That is the question that Sean and Carolyn Savage faced when a clinic disastrously screwed up and they became pregnant with someone else’s baby. The issues […]

  • I remember this story, and just watched them on the Joan Behr show the other night. Hey Penelope I have something for you to check out

  • Virginia from That Bald Chick

    WOW. Struggling with infertility and having to turn to IVF was a trial in, and of, itself. Let alone then having to decide what to do when implanted with the wrong embryos! I cannot even begin to fathom what they must have felt!

  • Annie @ Mama Dweeb

    OMG i cannot believe that happened! I admire them for what they did. I cant wait to read the story for myself

  • I can’t even imagine the horror of dealing with that fallout. I don’t know what I’d do!

  • *spoiler sort of*

    I totally saw this on 20/20 or something last week and I was HOOKED! What a crazy story. My question was why didn’t they ask if the other couple that they ended up carrying the baby for would consider carrying their baby, instead of trying to find a surrogate. I think I would have offered if I was in the other couples shoes. Maybe?? I don’t know. It is Inconceivable to even think about.

  • Jennifer

    I don’t normally read this style book but it sounds interesting. I can’t even begin to think of how I’d handle a situation like that. Could you imagine even being the other couple? Especially if they were your last ones.

  • Shop with Me Mama

    oh wow! I read the book of the OTHER couples story, I did not know this couple had a book out with their story! I am totally buying this! You have to read the other book now, it is so good!

  • Nicole @ Help! Mama Remote...

    OMGosh I couldn’t fanthom the thought of any of their obstacles.

  • Alicia

    Wow! This sounds like a book that I would love to read!!!! Thank you for the heads up!!!

    Oh..and I wanted to reply to your comment on my blog. That verse just basically means that we should always be sharing scripture/God’s word with our children. From the morning when they rise, till the time they go to bed.

Talking On The Phone Never Seemed So Unappealing

According to an article I read at AOL Health, new studies show that cell phones affect brain activity. It’s undetermined what these effects actually mean, but the first study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that using the cell for 50 minutes was associated with a spike in brain glucose metabolism.

    I always use speaker phone if at all possible. I also do not use a lap top and don’t have a reader yet but will keep that in mind.

  • I never let this stuff bother me. If I did I’d be worrying about all the food I eat, and other things. I however never use my cell phone so that is good!

  • Penelope

    Most eReaders can be kept offline, which is what I do with mine.
