As Sophia Loren Says

You must suffer for beauty.
Thank you Autum Blankenship – this is her mother holding her daughter down for the oh so familiar female right of passage.

Toothless Demi

Yes I follow Demi Moore on Twitter – why? Because she posts stuff like this – No shame.

Apparently she has one false tooth – who knew?

It’s a penthouse, it’s a hotel room, wait it’s an airstream?

It’s all three I suppose – guess it doesn’t matter when it looks like this – sign me up.

A South African hotel has decided to start incorporating luxury airstream’s on their roof. Each dwelling complete with a little yard and all the bells and whistles. Cape Town is on my list to visit – even more reason to go.

I snagged this story from my new fave blog – so I’ll give them some love here, but you can also check out the official Cape Town Air Stream Penthouse.

Potential Child Prodigy in the Family

I have to brag er share…My non biological sister Julie emailed me today to share about my niece. This past weekend I handed over a docking station speaker combo to Julie for her new IPod. Since then she has relished in the awesomeness that is everything IPod speakers.

The other day she was playing Bryan Adam’s “If You Love Someone” and my 4 year old niece comes in and asks “what is that song from?”

Julie: “an old movie.”
Cami: “is it that horse movie Spirit?”
Julie replied no but then remembered Bryan Adams did indeed do the soundtrack for Spirit – Cami has only seen the movie a couple of times. From those two times she was able to pick out his voice and style of singing – she’s FOUR!!!!

Please God help her maintain her genius level and not be a moronic sexting teenager!

Sexting

As if parent’s don’t have enough to worry about – now we have “Sexting” – which according to Wikepedia is is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones. What the definition leaves out is that it’s prominent amongst teens.

Ahhh teens – one more reason for me not to have children. Actually I have found the man of my dreams – recent conversation revealed this.

(While watching a group of middle schoolers do their thing): Me – I want a baby and I’m fine with them becoming kids but I do NOT want one of those. How do you feel about boarding school? Garland: (also watching in horror at this group of girls) I’m good with that.

So according to Wikepedia teenagers and recipients of these tantalizing texts are being charged and prosecuted. Hello – it’s underage porn you morons!!!!!

But really what do we expect – moronic hormone driven beings with all the freedom in the world on their cell phones – shocker they are using it inappropriately??!

Shopping on the flip side

I’m all about saving now – and as a cosmetic junkie…well this is the area to save for me.

When it comes to skin care I stick to what works for me despite the cost – due to my sensitive skin. Mass marketed skin care usually has tons of fragrance in it which can do a number on me. But when it comes to hair care I’m not going to debtor’s prison over shampoo.

I mean I love Ouidad and Bumble and Bumble but sheesh – who are they kidding?! For instance Bumble and Bumble’s Sunday shampoo – vs Pantene’s Clarifying shampoo… $19 for 8oz vs $4 for over 12 oz’s!!!! And they have the SAME ingredients!! Same with their straightening cream – yeah it’s amazing but you pay for amazing. So instead, there is Marc Anthony’s cream for about $7 and often at Ulta I find buy one get one free.

So beauty without debt – novel idea.
