Mama Likey: Five fabulous things
Tuesday, March 6, 2007 I swear swear swear I had this post in the can before I read CityMama's own. Believe me, I have no shame in blatantly ripping off my mama-blogga-mentor (I kid, I kid...sort of). This time, though, I'm really on the up and up (tip of the hat to you, my friend).
On to my new faves.
Tunes - Regina Spektor, I adore you. Your music is ethereal, your lyrics are clever and your album has Lil E and I doing the shoulder shimmy while singing "brea-aa-aa-aa-aaak...my heart breaaaaaks" over and over and over. I cannot flip past this CD without playing it.
Toddler togs - With two weddings in the next few months, Lil E had to have something to wear that's a bit more formal than a bulldozah shirt, cargo pants and firefighter rain boots. I picked up an adorable pale blue and white seersucker suit by Kenneth Cole Reaction (similar to this one) at the altar of Marshall's that is so prim and cute, I can't wait to put it on him. Of course, I had to tell Lil E that the jacket is just like the one Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and other golfers who win championships get to wear, but at least he'll be feeling as proper as he looks. Now if we can only convince him to cut the kiddie mullet...
Accessories - Speaking of weddings, mama needs some hot new shoes. I bought two black and white dresses my mom has assured me Stacy and Clinton would approve of and now am need some killah kicks and a slammin purse to add a little pa-dow to the outfits. Like any self-respecting bargain-hounding time-crunched mama, I am so going to Target to find my accessories. And I'm starting with these saucy shoes and this clutch (yes, the platform peep toes are screaming my age-old fantasy of being a final scenes Sandra Dee and the purse is reminiscent of something from my childhood dress up box...I'll work it anyway, watch me).
Attitude adjusters - I think The Happiness Project blog is just brill. I love Gretchen's writing, so real and honest and humble. I also love the idea of a quest for happiness, for being present and for finding small and significant ways to get right with yourself.
Apricotliciousness - On a lovely little Whole Foods splurge for a basket full of organic beauty supplies, I found Apricot Eye Care cream by Better Botanicals. It is Ayurvedic, amply creamy without being overly greasy and doesn't make my sensitive skin tingle or eyes water. Compared to other overpriced eye creams, this little tube was a steal at $14.99 and has me all amped up to try some more of the facial products straight from the website.
