Who Loves Acronyms?

If you're familiar with FML or MLIA and, although you may chuckle at others' misfortune or normality, you probably get sick of it pretty quickly.   If this is true, as it is for myself, I have got good news for YOU!  So, I recently stumbled upon GMH... gives me hope.  "FML for optimists."  Sometimes it's cheesy (but hey- that's one of the fuzzybunny disclaimers) and some people question whether they're all real or not, but.. well, you can judge for yourself! 
Here's one of MY personal faves:
"Today, our history teacher was telling us about a man who was famous for transporting Jews to safety during the Holocaust.

A student in the class said "That's my grandfather."

Our teacher began to cry, and said "He saved my entire family."

Beautiful coincidences GMH"


Anyway, once you're on GMH, chances are you'll land on LGMH... love gives me hope, which is even MORE adorable and sweet and just makes me cry like a baby! Granted, I cry at everything... but this shouldn't make me cry so much!  I was reading some by the pool at a family gathering and I started crying and then again sitting in the car, good thing I had sunglasses on! Ha, oh well.  Some of the stories are just so stinkin' cute. 

So, if you have a spare moment.. check it out! Also, it's not blocked the the computers at my school! (yeah, I know school's over, but still, that's a plus!)

I'm starting something new!

so here it is:  at the end of each post (or throughout) I'll put what songs I listened to while I wrote/edited/etc it!
 

Bewitched by Betsey!

So my mom and I were watching things on our DVR while we brainstormed ideas for blog posts.  After some cute ideas, I think/say out loud, "Why haven't we done a Betsey Johnson post?" And that's exactly where today's post is headed.  For anyone who's spent at least 15 seconds on the site or watching a runway show, you know just how adorable Betsey's lines are.  Thankfully, I came into some money right before my eighth grade semi and was able to splurge a little on a Betsey Johnson cotton-candy-esque dress. I'm always after a new dress, whether it be on ebay or just on sale and I can't stop looking at her lines.  My newest obsession? A want for a watch!  But leave it to Betsey to do something not-so-conventional.  Her watches either don't have numbers or they're totally goofy looking, but none-the-less just so cute! :)  And although I won't be getting married for another ten or so years, I have full intentions of wearing a Betsey wedding dress on my special day.  Most importantly, DON"T be ashamed of where you get your Betsey stuff.  Just because it's from TJ-Maxx or ebay, doesn't mean it's not as real!  You should be proud that you're such a bargain hunter!  I got the cutest sunglasses at TJ-Maxx for $15 and a bathing suit at Urban Outfitters (on super sale) for $20!
So if you're a fan, post a pic of/link to YOUR favorite betsey item!

(here's me in my Betsey dress!)

(PS- this post has nothing to do with witches, i'm just a sucker for a good alliteration!)

Conscience Friendly Meets Fabulous!

It's that time of year again: sandal season! And for those of us who try our very hardest not to wear leather products, it is really just too difficult.  Although I am not a vegetarian anymore, let alone a vegan, I do everything I can to stay away from non-man-made shoes, bags, etc.  If you are like me and can't stand shopping for cute, wearable sandals that don't hurt our furry little friends, well then you are in luck.
I recently discovered that Lulu's (www.lulus.com) has a huuuuuuge selection of vegan friendly shoes!

(Here's the link to just the vegan friendly shoes!)

My absolute favorite? Bamboo Heather 11 Black Zippered Flower Thong Sandal

Oh, and did I mention they're super affordable?! Because they are!
Plus, they've got you covered in every area: sandals, flats, gladiators, boots, wedges, sneakers, everything!

So, if the seeing the words "All man made materials" makes you jump for joy, you've got to check this section of Lulu's out!

Cute Olympians!

Okay, since this blog is about cute stuff, mostly, we would be remiss if we didn't mention the top U.S. cuties from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.  


In no particular order:

Evan Lysacek


















Mirai Nagasu

Bode Miller

Jeret "Speedy" Peterson

Lindsey Vonn

J.R. Celski

Shaun White

and of course...
Apolo Ohno!

No matter the cuteness-factor, we're proud of ALL of our US athletes.  

Who'd we miss?  Who is your favorite Olympian?

e.l.f.

Have you met e.l.f.?  If you haven't yet, you should.  This adorably named (it stands for eyes lips face) makeup company is super budget friendly and has all the trendiest colors and styles.  The site is very easy to navigate, with really cool extras.  When you see a product you like, 

you click on "as seen in" and it will show you the magazines where that particular product can be found.  I spent 20 happy minutes just clicking away to see if I had seen any of the magazine features shown.

If that's not enough fun for you, there are lively blog posts from e.l.f.'s gorgeous Creative Director Achelle Dunaway and a cool Virtual Make-over tool.  Yes, you can try e.l.f.'s makeup before you buy it!  But it's not like there's huge risk involved...e.l.f.'s eyeshadows, glosses, etc. all start at only $1!  Sweet!!!  And if that's not enough for you, e.l.f. is cruelty free.  You can find e.l.f. at all Kmarts or online (see below).  We're ordering a bunch right now.  Stay tuned and we'll tell you what we think.  :)

Shabby Apple, cute stuff with a conscience!

I didn't know anything about Shabby Apple until I was looking for advertisers to put on the blog.  Their cool logo caught my eye, so I dug further.  First, this:  "Every woman deserves to feel beautiful in a dress...but not all of us look like runway models"  Okay, Shabby, tell me more: "Shabby apple celebrates the short legs, curvy hips, straight waists and flat chests in all of us."  Wow!  You're talking my language!  Then, there's a 3 question quiz to determine your body type and then they offer clothes designed to fit YOUR body, lumps and all!  


Shabby Apple is committed to Fair Trade and charity.  They want to help us find the right dress, sure, but they also want to end poverty and empower women all over the world.  They make sure that their clothing is made by companies who operate under the strictest Fair Trade guidelines by: 
1. Making sure their employees are at least 18 years old 
2. Paying their workers above minimum wage
3. Providing health care benefits to all employees
4. Allowing their employees to work up to 45 hours a week, no more
5. Providing scholarship to their employees' children so they may go to private school
