I can still remember my mom using long strips of cloth to wind around my sister’s hair. I must have been pretty young because it’s a bit of a blur but I do remember that she would sleep in these long pieces of cloth. I must remember to ask her for more details, but I think that the next morning my sister would have the most gorgeous ringlets. Anyway, that lead me to start looking for other bizarre methods people used to curl their hair and I came across this little tidbit. Apparently people in the “Near East” curled their hair by coating it in clay and then allowing the sun to bake it. I found this bit of info in a book that I just pulled off the shelf entitled, “Really Useful… *the origins of everyday things”.... [Read more]

I think patent leather bags are growing on me. For the longest time I wanted no shine what so ever and my daughter felt the same way. But, after seeing this bag from Dooney & Bourke, all I can think about is molten chocolate. How could anyone not like a bag that reminds you of chocolate?? And as far as details of the bag goes, it has a divider, which will make it easier to find stuff… a big pet peeve of mine and a zip top pocket. Okay, I would like a few more pockets to stuff bits and pieces into, but other than that, the bag is working for me! Photo Credit: Younkers [Read more]

This is so cute, you aren’t going to have any problem at all tossing change into it. For that matter, show it off, your friends might feel inclined to help you save.This little “bag” measures 6 inches which leads me to wonder about how much you could actually stuff in there? Twoonies might add up quite quickly. Photo Credit: Mookie Gifts [Read more]

It’s called the  Soiree Pleated Bag and I especially like the fact that you can have a bag that looks good and is functional all at the same time. And having spent the day at the mall, I’m really liking the fact that you can adjust the straps to 38 inches so that you can wear it “messenger style”. My shoulders are about to  scream at the moment… but I did do a lot of Christmas shopping today!  There are lots and lots of colors to choose from, each with interesting little kick pleats that make the bag even more interesting.  I picked the blue bag but there is also a caramel one that has just caught my attention. Go and take a look!! Photo Credit: Crystalyn Kae [Read more]
