Look at those GAMS!!!

Earlier this month, I was given the opportunity to go with My teenage daughter to OLD NAVY to check out their new shorts for the season. Thanks again CROWDTAP!!! I can see why they wanted to get the word out. Each year brings upon a time to go and get some new shorts. Many of you know this is good in theory, but the follow up is not so grand. This year was seriously one stop shopping. Upon walking into the store it became a small joke that every corner we tuned there was another display of shorts. It was so awesome. It did not matter what type of mood we were in, there were white one, jean ones, Bermuda ones. Plus, ideas throughout the store on ways we could pair them to look super stylish. We also enjoyed the staff picks of summer outfits including accesories near the fitting room.
Now, because there were so many to choose from, this was not a quick trip in. We really did not pigeon hole ourselves and tried on so many styles and inseams.
It was so great to see so many. My daughter AKA "freaky, freaky, long legs" had a great amount to choose from. Me? Not so freaky long legs? I had more than enough to keep me busy in the fitting room too. By the end, and countless styles later we walked out with an amazing loot of a haul and a smile on our face with the excitement of how painless and super fun this was. It is not often that  can say I loved every pair I had on.
Growing up 80's style I can see why this summer's Old Navy campaign is "Get Stoked for Summer". In which I say, Yes, Yes you should.
Go show your Gams this season!!!

Classic Handbags

Vogue influencer gave me such a great opportunity to check out BRAHMIN spring line of handbags. They are so fun and flirty. I was given a grand opportunity when they sent me out the classic BRAHMIN Medium Arno-Black Glossy Arno Tote.  My teenage daughter has dubbed it the newest family heirloom. And indeed I can see it as that.It came in a great drawstring bag to keep it clean and out of the elements when not in use and the smell is divine.  With it's classic design and black  shade, this will for surely be such a timeless piece to have around. With it's soft interior and down to the studded feet, this will for surely be fought over in my home. 

I thought I would share with you the other spring pieces in their line and let you see how classic or fun you can be. Enjoy and your welcome.

Lemon Olive oil cookies

Yes, you heard me right. Cookies, crazy right? Being a bzz agent gave me a chance to really look at Olive oil. I use it daily in home made dressings, sauteing food, greasing dinner pans so the chicken won't stick.
Recently they sent me a kit of Filippo Berio Olive oil to try out. In this particular kit was a conversion chart that got me really thinking what else can I do with this. Insert evil mom laugh here. (mwahhh-ha ha)
I have been know to use applesauce instead of Canola oil sure, who hasn't?
Then I thought olive oil is so body healthy, that if moms can sneak veggies into goodies, than I am going to sneak olive oil into mine. Insert, blah rainy day here and a vision. Voila, Lemon Olive oil cookies divine. I am not going to take credit for the recipe, but, I will take credit for the deliciousness of them. Made with love and Olive Oil, this is a keeper for sure.
Check out Filippo Berio's website for other awesome ideas and let me know what you can create.

Spring Lip picks

I know, being & looking a fabulous s a tad difficult when it is sweltering out and you are chasing your dovies around and don't want to take more with you that you can possibly juggle without your swimsuit top falling off. So, lucky me I have actually found my spring/summer lip balm already. I know, I know, so soon you say?
Well, being a bzz agent helped about 98%. I received to review three Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balms. I must say I was pretty neutral about them, until I popped the top and slid one across my lips. PERFECTION for sure. These tiny portable tubes of balm are the bomb. They have a sheer but silky formula that truly was the easiest to apply. With just a hint of color that makes them perfect for the non fussy, "But I still wanna jazz up my lip area" balm. They are a great moisturizer too and true to the hype, in just a week my lips are softer and have me touting the prettiest pout. The SHEER SHIMMER goes with all of my various eye looks too.
You can pick them up just about anywhere too, not just those specialty shops all the past great ones seem to be forever hiding.
I like how I can try to be a minimalist and pop it in my pocket to take on the outings my darling daughter and I seem to always be having. And as a bonus, us long haired gals can still wear our hair down, we still get the color, with out the sticky yuck in the wind.
Now, go I tell ya and get  your Balm On.
