Wedneday Wishlist -- Sexy Etsy -- Rated R

This week's wishlist is more about the model's than what they are wearing, and the artist's behind the designs...

My wish is that I would have taken better care of my younger body when I had it...for those young'uns out there, take note...

God gives you one body, treat it well.  Eat healthy, excersize, drink lots of water, don't do drugs....and do your best to grow spiritually every single day. (okay, I'm done preaching)

I created a treasury of items to celebrate a woman's body...a real  woman's body, not some anorexic supermodel.  And also to give a shout out to the ah-maz-ing designers...I think they did a truly spectacular job of creating clothing that would make the woman wearing them feel oh-so feminine!

Wednesday Wishlist -- Beach Theme

In Blogland, I see a lot of postings of "favorite blog posts" or "best of the blogosphere", so while trying to drift off to sleep last night, "Wednesday Wishlist" popped into my head and I couldn't get it out. 

I've been planning to start a series, each week a different theme, of items that are in my favorites on Etsy, you may like them or you may like something else in that seller's shop, or your taste may be completely different from mine.

This week's theme is "Beaches" since I just finished my Beach Cottage Organic Cotton Lap Blanket...I soooo love it and am super-thrilled with how it turned out.

All of the following items, are ones that I would love to have if I was headed for the beach or lived near one, okay it wouldn't have to be either of those reasons... I'd just like to have them all....

3 Adirondack Chairs
by
Compulsive Collection

I have always loved Adirondack Chairs, they look really comfy and I'd love to have one to sit under the big maple tree in our front yard, just to sit in and read a book.

Sweet Summer Dress

How soft and breezy does this dress look???...I love little sundresses to wear around the house, to mow, to garden, work around the yard...so cool to wear in hot, humid weather.

Handmade Mega Doily Rug

Ladies and Gentlemen Vintage

And this Doily Rug had me at first glance....I can't imagine it looking wrong in any room.

Oceania Decorator Fabric Pillow

by

Martha and Ash

I may have mentioned this pillow before, but in case I didn't I just had to include it here.   I have been drooling over it since I first found it, I have no idea why, it just grabbed me.  But, really all of their pillows are gorgeous

Fav Blog -- Delightful Order -- Organizing a Linen Closet

I love to find blogs and websites where I can LEARN something useful, such as simple tutorials for craft making, how to simply my life, but most of all, my absolute FAV'S are the ones about organization, on the cheap. But I really hit the mother-lode when I came across the Delightful Order Blog. Oh yes I did!!!

Authored by DaNita, her blog combines all my favs...and apparently her's too, here is just a snippet on her "About" page..."Along with being a Christian, the wife to an amazing man & the mother of four boys, a few of my other favorite things are Simplifying, Creating, Organizing & Decorating."

One of the best aspects of her blog is that she not only shows you the before and after pics of every project, she gives you a step by step tutorial about how she did it, along with many many pics AND where she found all her budget friendly materials.

I was so excited this morning when I saw her post titled Bringing Delightful Order to my Linen Closet, isn't it fun and cute AND oh so organized!!!!

I've only included a couple of her pics, so head on over to her blog for the full article and tutorial. Once you see it, you're gonna wanna check out the rest of her diy projects...be sure to let her know how you found her blog, then come on back her and let me know what you think.

Do you have any organizational tips, I'd love to hear about them...

And don't forget about our Giveaway ending Thursay night!

My Favorite Things -- Baby Girl Gifts & Baby Shower Decor

I figure if Oprah can recommend her favorite things, then so can I...of course, I can't GIVE away to everyone everything on my list, but I can at least do the shopping for you.

The plan is to try and do this as a weekly feature, with a different theme each week. And since babies and baby showers are uppermost in my mind right now, that's my theme...AND since the doc "thinks" she's having a "girl", that's what I featured.

So scroll down for some truly awesome baby gift ideas for new moms and baby showers, and if you're planning a baby shower, there's a few ideas for that as well. Check out the sellers shops as well for lots of other ideas.

(You'll probably notice that I'm having trouble getting my fonts and spacing even, I'll keep working on it, but I do apologize for the "messy" look)

Miracle Make-up Product Review

L'OREAL Studio Secrets Face Primer

I just had to share my new favorite make-up product...it rated 4 out of 5 stars on the L'Oreal website www.lorealparisusa.com and I have to agree. L'oreal states..."Discover the secret to perfect skin texture....Get the perfect skin texture instantly and all day. The silky lightweight formula glides onto skin and and minimizes the look of pores and fine lines. Skin looks and feels smooth and resurfaced. The result--a unified matte finish that's flawless."

The PROS: It visibly makes my pores appear smaller and my lines ARE much much less noticeable. I apply it after my moisturizer, and it gives my skin a smooth, airbrushed look even when used under my foundation, stays on all day and controls oil while I'm wearing it. The only thing it doesn't do is correct color imperfections, so you will still need concealer for those problem areas. I loved it the minute I put it on.

The CONS: If you use too much, your skin will look powdery and it would be better if they would package it in a tube for easier application.

I've noticed the older my skin gets, the less face powders do their job...powder is NOT my friend anymore, they just seem to settle in my lines, but with the new Studio Secrets Face Primer, I get a smooth finish without the need for face powders to set my make-up.

My daughter tried it and had to stop at Wally world on the way home to pick up one for herself (guess she liked it too). And no, this is NOT a paid advertisement, I just like passing on my favorite things.
