Fit for a Princess

Princess — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:38:32 +0000

When shopping for my computer I was trying to be more responsible. I knew that this time I may need to use it for internet video conferencing and definitely it had to be faster for my voice recognition software. However, this also meant that unlike last time I couldn’t buy a computer just because it was pink. Silver’s pretty too right? I did the responsible thing but did end up with a purple keyboard cover and since that’s the part that I look at most of the time anyways it’s the most important. I’m turning 30 this year and being a princess is still important to me.

Will You be Wearing Tangerine?

Princess — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:49:00 +0000

When Pantone released the color of the year as tangerine tango I at first thought about it from a home decor aspect. I would definitely decorate with it. However, coming into spring I’m also seeing it appear on lots of clothes. While I love the color orange I’ve just accepted that unless I get a very dark tan and change my hair color; it will never look good on me. I’m trying to think of anyone who could actually wear tangerine and look awesome in it. Maybe as a belt or shoes but not for an allover outfit. Will you be trying out tangerine?

Should She Have Told?

Like most everyone else I was shocked to find out that Paula Deen is diabetic and has been for some time without revealling it though. I occassionally watch her show although just for a few seconds. You know how most sweets are just referred to as “sometimes foods”. I think that’s what Seasame Street calls them. However, I think most of her recipes are “once in a lifetime foods” I only plan on eating one of them if I ever visit her restaurant and then I will get out of town quickly. She has a recipe called twinkie pie. Do you think Paula Deen was responsible to disclose her diabettes?

Sucked Into

Princess — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:31:26 +0000

I have yet to get sucked into the wide world of Pinterest. All my friends keep talking about it but to be honest, all I ever hear people talking about is what a time suck it is – I don’t understand why in the world people would voluntarily sign up for something they know was going to consume all their free time! But you know me, I love being part of a trend so I checked it out with my internet.clear.com connection but I just don’t understand what all the fuss was about. I mean, it’s like a giant bulletin board – what’s the big deal? I don’t get why people seem to think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread when all it is is a regurgitation of other things on the web. I think it’s cool people are able to show off their style and all that but at the end of the day it’s still just a bunch of images pinned to a board – what’s so cool about that? I don’t get it.

Well It’s Good in Theory

I love burnout shirts. They are everywhere right now. I thought that most of them wouldn’t survive a lot of washing but so far they have held up a lot better than I expected them to originally. However, the disappointing part comes from the new application. Now there are tons of burnout cardigans and long sleeve shirts. While this may look cool it is actually cool. I live in Utah and wear long sleeves because I actually need them. Whenever I see someone who doesn’t feel good or has had new back surgery I hope they have comfy clothes against their skin. However, I have found that also the material is weird. What looks fine as short sleeves make everyone even with the skinniest arms look like they are ripping out of their sleeves. I guess it would be fine if you want a Hulk Hogan moment but unless you layer it; there things are useless.

Bella Bird

Bella Bird is a new fashion line at Wal-Mart of all places. It basically looks like an inexpensive version of Downeast Basics. It’s still pricier than what you’d usually pay at Wal-Mart. It’s more of Kohl’s price tag. At the moment it’s only available in select stores in Utah and Idaho. Sometimes when there’s just a statewide company like pennsylvania energy I wish that everyone else had a chance for it too and Bella Bird is that way too. I don’t now if the modest fashions would do as well in other states though.

I would actually go out of my way to shop at one of these stores. I hope that it’s around to stay and that the line expands. All of the fabrics are so soft. The other thing I wasn’t expecting was that certain pieces were hand wash only which also isn’t usually a Wal-mart Trademark. Have you tried the Bella Bird line?

I Wish I Wasn’t on a Budget Diet

Princess — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:11:10 +0000

I went on a budget diet because of some changes at work. I’ve been really good about not shopping. With any business sometimes you have to cut down on personal expenses and this is one of those times for me. I’m sure it happens in every business like a hospital moving around funds for a new medication cart.

However, the one store that always gets to me is Coldwater Creek. Right now they’re having a 50% off outlet sale. It ends Tuesday so hurry. A lot of the tops that I’ve wanted that started out at $50-$90 are now down to $11-$25. However, since I don’t technically need any of it I’m still on my budget diet.

Cute or Tacky?

Princess — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:49:00 +0000

The first time I saw the trend of headbands with large fake flowers on them I just thought it was adorable. At first these were just stretch headbands with large flowers on them for babies. All of those pictures of kids wearing flowers bigger than their heads were just adorable.

However, at least in Utah I’ve been seeing this trend all over; even on senior citizens. Usually they just use floral clips or smaller wire headbands. However, to me it just looks so juvenile even if everyone is wearing it. It’s hard to take anyone seriously who is wearing one of these because I wonder if they stole it from their kid. Are people wearing these where you live?

A Castle for a Princess

Princess — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:45:00 +0000

I know that a princess usually lives in a castle. I am still a princess but I live in an apartment; granted it’s a nice apartment. Whether you’re looking for Calgary apartments or Utah apartments this is what makes it suitable for a princess. As I’ve gotten older and homeownership still isn’t in sight I’ve learned the importance of being happy with that fact. It also helps to do a fair bit of internet searching to find about possibilities that won’t be in the newspaper.

When visiting the RentCalgary.com site there were several things that stood out to me. First off it just took one click to find the right place on a map. It’s quite easy to narrow down the searches to your desired neighborhood. Then it’s simple to choose your desired price point and how many bedrooms you want from a few drop down menus. There was also different types of rentals to choose from such as basement apartments to entire houses. With a little bit of savvy every princess can find a suitable castle.

The Magic Scale

Princess — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:30:04 +0000

For years I have had a magic scale that makes everyone seven pounds thinner than they actually are. Guests to the house always announce how much they love the scale. I love it too although it does make me dread getting on non-magical scales. So for New Years I decided to get real and get a digital scale. I don’t know if it uses energizer rechargeable batteries but it is my first battery operated scale. While it’s glass and looks pretty and is more accurate I still miss the magical scale.
