Lost: Disorganized Purse / Found: Total Organization

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:01:26 GMT

Go ahead, deny it. You've NEVER lost anything in that black cave you call a purse, right? It's ok, admit you have a problem, we all do! I got so frustrated with forever losing my car keys, lipstick and id card case in the bottom of my purse, having people in line behind me at stores tapping their feet as I'm scrounging for a credit card, and never seeming to have room to fit one more thing in t...

Style & Function Can Live Happily Ever After

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:07:38 GMT

Like many of my friends, I have gotten weary of scavenging through my purse every time I want to find a receipt, my go-to credit card, or some clipped coupons I saved for my shopping trip. Digging through my wallet was no use, as it was busting at the seams, so I avoided adding anything new to make it break completely. Then I met the love of my life - in fashion, that is. I now 's fashion doubl... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

3 Little Things - They Won't Hurt You - Promise!

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:55:20 GMT

Yes, it's true that you probably can't save the world by yourself, or even the environment. But when you begin to read amazing stories of how much can be accomplished if everyone in the world picks their own way that is most comfortable to them to do their part... So, here's my challenge - pick 3 things from this list that you can do TODAY to start making the world a better place. And, if you're... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

All I Want For Christmas Is......

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 03:27:01 GMT

There are few things I find as annoying as having a handful of people who you exchange Christmas presents with EVERY year, they know it and you know it, and yet EVERY year you ask them for suggestions and they say, "I don't know, I don't really need anything."

I've done everything I possibly can to ask those who are closest to them, watch their habits, hobbies, friends, likes and dislikes to c... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Celebrity Jewelry for UNDER $50 - yes, it's real!!

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:14:14 GMT

We love watching the award shows, movie premiere events, daytime interviews and more to scan for the newest and trendiest celebrity fashion and jewelry - but really, who can afford it besides them?

Unless you're making $10 million a picture like Jessica or Jennifer or Charlize, you'd probably love to find the same styles and much more affordable prices.

I've considered it a personal challe... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Are You a Treehugger?

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 03:21:54 GMT

The fact is that EVERYONE is these days... in the fashion world at least. If you've shopped at all within the past year, you've most likely seen the swarms of new products based on trees, nature, flowers, and the great outdoors.

The ecofriendly wave that has washed over the world (it's about time... let's keep it going and do some good now!) has touched everything we eat and purchase, and made... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Unique Wedding Favor Ideas

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:28:44 GMT

If you're a bride-to-be, or even just a party hostess, you will find that your search for unique party favors is frustrating at best. An endless swamp of useless vases, picture frames, glass coasters or candy cardboard boxes will bore you beyond belief. The secret to breaking out of this rut is to THINK DIFFERENTLY!!!

I think the trap most brides fall into is trying too hard to tie in their fav... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes!!!

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:54:13 GMT

Never in our history have we had such a love affair with Cupcakes as in the last several months. When you sit down and analyze it, doesn't it make sense that the style of the Cupcake now better suits our society than the once popular pies, cakes, tortes and doughnuts of bygone eras?

Of all baked goods (other than Dolly Madison, and no... those don't really count as REAL "baked goods"... sorry ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Toss Those Square Pillows and Grab Some Grapes!

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 04:55:33 GMT

Honestly, how many square pillows can one person own before they wake up and get some SHAPES in their life? Colors can only take a basic pillow so far, but personality, style and shape can bring zest and life into an otherwise drab and tired decorating scheme.

Check these shaped pillows out for instant conversation starters and fun themed holiday gifts, and toss those worn out big box store che... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Get Your Hands Off MY Black Bag and Find Your Own!

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 04:41:14 GMT

There is nothing so frustrating as making it through a long journey full of ticket counters, taxicabs, shuttles, airport cafeterias, obnoxious passengers and endless running to meet connecting flights than landing and trying to claim your luggage...except it's not there.

WHY??
Probably one of two reasons... either the airline felt strongly that your luggage was destined for Omaha, Nebraska (re... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Take A Safari Ride With Me (Through the Closet, that is)

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 17:22:13 GMT

Some days you just want to be subdued in your mood and wardrobe, and some days an outfit with some colorful pop and zing gets you fired up.... but there are also those times when color just doesn't cut it, and you need to raise the bar a few notches.

Enter.....The Closet Safari.........that's right, "safari", as in lions and tigers and zebras, OH MY!!

Control Your Mood By Surrounding Yourself With Color

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 05:36:49 GMT

Every day we are inundated with color in our lives, every object we touch, every food we eat, every scene we enjoy boasts a color of some sort. Many of us don't take the time to realize how the colors which surround us on a daily basis can really affect not only our moods, but our personalities as well.

One of the BEST Stress Relievers Available

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 05:17:50 GMT

After trying many "off the shelf" products of aromatherapy-induced mood lifters, skin creams which boast ultra soothing properties, spa machines you plug in and whisk you away to the ocean, blah, blah, blah. What I've found after countless years and a whole lot of money is there are a few EXCELLENT stress relievers which cost very little money, don't make you gain weight, and are also good for you...

PLEASE, Not Another Knicknack Gift

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 23:45:51 GMT

We all have them... boxes of gifts from well-meaning relatives and friends which scream "donate me to charity" every time we walk past them... and yet you just can't bring yourself to give them away because, well, they meant well when they bought you that tenth ceramic doggie figurine and that sixth little trinket box.

While you can't control what people will give to you (unless of course you a... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Yummy Coffee Recipes to Get Your Daily Caffeine

You can gulp down 5 cups of coffee during the day to get your caffeine fix, leaving ugly coffee stains on your pants from the drive into work, brown coffee rings on your paperwork, and spills on your sofa when you fall into it at night with your last cup to get you through the rest of the day.........OR

Cooking CAN Be FUN!!

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 04:46:33 GMT

Some of us were blessed with incredible cooking and baking talents, and others of us can barely boil water (I'll never admit which group I fit into, but those who know me know all too well!). But just because you're not a Rachel Ray or Paula Deen double doesn't mean you can't master some simple recipes and HAVE FUN while doing it! The key is having fun, colorful, useful kitchen gadgets which bring... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Is It or Isn't It --- Made of Duct Tape?

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 03:50:40 GMT

If you have a male in your life at all (or even a handy female), you've come to learn that duct tape can be used to fix pretty much everything short of a NASA spaceship. If anything is broken, disintegrated, shaky, weak or leaking, a few wraps of duct tape is sure to solve the problem.

Nobody has ever claimed duct tape to be stylish or earth-shattering.... UNTIL NOW. This new Tape Bomb Duct T... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Awesome Wine Cork Creations

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 16:41:01 GMT

I love it when people take one thing and do something unexpected with it. These placecard holders that look like old wine corks are really inspiring and vintage looking. I could just picture them used for a rehearsal dinner or wine wedding favors. Even a small dinner party or holiday soiree could benefit from some style and sophistication. And the price is right, too... at less than $2 each, they ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

How I'm Saving 500 Plastic Bags From The Landfill This Year

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 07:53:47 GMT

Every week we all go to the grocery store and don't think twice when they say "paper or plastic", but when I read the average American puts over 500 plastic bags per year in the landfills, and EACH bag takes OVER 1000 years (yes, that's one thousand) to degrade (if it will at all)... that was enough to make me wake up and take notice!

But who wants ugly tan canvas tote bags to deal with, especi... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
