Ghouls just wanna have fun!

Happy Halloween!  The Monster Mash and Thriller will fill the radio waves today! whoot whoot!

Speaking of Thriller last night with my family we caught a Michael Jackson special that was airing last night. I felt as I did as a kid watching the Disney princesses.....oh I still look like that when I watch them today.... bad example.... well I felt like a kid in a candy shop watching Thriller. The dancing was so awesome I wanted to rewind it and watch it over again and dance along with them.


The poll of What's Your Fall Must-Have? I had going on on the blog ended last night with 50% of the votes saying scarves and 50% of the votes saying hoodies. For me, I would have to agree with scarves.


Scarves can do so much for you. They can help you dress up a plain outfit with a little splash of color. As well as give you a little extra warmth on those chilly fall days. There hasn't been many chilly fall days here in the area of Virginia I live in. I haven't worn mine as much as usually due to that.

Now the actually scarves you tie yourself are my favorite as a pose to the infinity scarves. I feel the infinity scarves are too big and just don't sit right on me. I only have one infinity scarf in my collection and it does get fluffy throughout the day on me. I just love the pattern though! While packing my closet to move into my boyfriend's, I counted that I have 15 of the tie yourself scarves..... I guess I do really like them.

I have seen that there are 20 different ways you can tie your scarf.....I think I only wear 2 of the ways.



Well that's all the rambling that comes to mind right now remember the only people you need in your life are the ones that treat you like a princess. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! If you have your little ones trick or treating be very careful and HAVE FUN!

Must....move...away...from...the....lap top.....

I think my lap top has a spell over me.... I keep sitting here staring at it as I am going to all these websites that I find myself shopping on!  I must say I love online shopping much more then shopping in a store. Every once in a while it is a must but I love all the options at one click from my finger tip. Plus there are such great online deals that occur that makes it so worth it. Also,  I am not a math person so it really excites me that I can put things I like "into my cart" and it totals it up for me. Helps me get as close to my budget as I can get. 


Right now I'm playing that waiting game of I don't get paid for a few more days let's shop and by the time I make up my mind....check on the online deals....budget the bills....I'm ready to place an order. Whoot Whoot! Then sit back and wait for the brown truck to turn down the road on 2 wheels slam to a stop and drop off the goodies.

My wish list at the moment is consisting of a jacket that one of my co-workers wore in front of me the other day....working with other women is a plus when they have awesome styles that make me almost twitch because I must shop at that moment to get myself and rock it my own way. 

I've seen one similar on Charlotte Russe and Love Culture. The jacket has sleeves and a hood like a hoodie but the front and back have a leather like vest look. I love it! The hoodie part makes it look warm but the leather look gives it some edge. To me, it looks comfy but ready to rock! I just see pairing my Combat boots with it.

I'm wanting a cross body bag. You know because I need another purse to add to my collection. I have of course searched for a Jessica Simpson collection one but haven't had much luck with that.

Still searching for an outfit to wear my wantable necklace with. I don't know where to really begin with it honestly. I just know it's got to be the perfect outfit so it is going to have to jump off the webpage at me or off the rack at me. I found some flats that match the teal very well so those are a thought

Now I do love shopping in the stores of  Ross, TJ MAXX, and Marshalls. It's so much fun to find designer items for much less. 

Target is also a store that gets me when I shop in the store. Once I walk in the one near me if I can make it past the Washington Redskins merchandise I know it's not going to be such an expensive visit. At the moment I know I need to go back because they have some Washington Redskins slippers. I totally need of course! 

Kohls is another store I like to go to. I mostly stock up on basics from them. Short sleeve tees, long sleeve tees, tanks, khakis for work, and jeans. I am in need of visiting the store for some long sleeve shirts.....in every color. 


Sorry for my rambling, but hope y'all have a wonderful Tuesday!!! Feel free to comment below on any online deals you have found or any in store goodies you have just bought. Remember sharing is caring!

THE MONSTER MASH....was for sure a Graveyard SMASH!!!

Dance Xplosion by Michelle


Saturday night the competition team at the dance studio I work for put on a fundraiser. It was a Halloween party they called THE MONSTER MASH. It was open to all ages! They had food and drinks along with crafts, games, costume contest, and of course dancing for all ages to enjoy. As I walked through as Lady Thor, I felt like a celebrity. that wasn't because of my costume it was because they were so excited to see that I had come out to party with them. The best part for me was seeing some of my dancers in their costumes and having such a great time.  The worst part for me was sticking my hands in the "Touch and Feel boxes" I touched "bloody guts" I admit I did gag a little. I was told it was jelly and something else..... either way.... GROSS! The boxes were a cool thing to have because, of course, the kids loved laughing at me for all the faces I made as well as the owner Michelle. 




The competition team, Michelle's Xplosives, put on an awesome party!! I can't wait for next years!! :)

You are going to want WANTABLE!!

I totally felt like a little kid waiting for Santa (only it was the mailman in this case) on the day I found out that my WANTABLE acessories box was going to be delivered.


 I bet you are wondering what I am talking about... What is a WANTABLE box? Well in Just 3 easy steps you could be on your way to getting a WANTABLE box customized just for you!!!  The first step once you visit the WANTABLE website, you pick the kind of box you would like. You can choose a Make-up, Accessories, Intimates or at the moment they have a Halloween box. You then take a detailed quiz and your answers help them pick a box perfect for you. Each box that is sent to you has 3-4 pieces that go along with your choice.  I chose the Accessories Box!! I am so in love with it! There is a small fee for your box but really it's a great deal for what you get! For a one time box it was $40 but if you wanted to get a box sent to you each month it's $36 a month and you can cancel anytime no questions asked or any extra fees added. Awesome right?!



 In my box I received Infinity Silver Stud earrings, a lace headband, and a silver toned teal statement necklace.  I am still in search for the perfect outfit to go with the statement necklace I received. 


You are going to LOVE your WANTABLE box set!! 



So visit WANTABLE to get your own box set!!

Manicure Mondays!!


                                MANICURE MONDAY!

 Sometimes I have the Monday Blues but lately I have been hearing Monday is considered  Man Crush Monday where you post pictures of your hot guy or the Hot celeb guys you wish you had on Mondays  I also heard it is considered to be MANICURE MONDAY where you get your nails all dolled up for the week and post the pictures of your freshly painted nails on Monday! 

               I thought why not share some ideas to help you with your Manicure Monday!! Right now I am loving the AVON NAIL ART DESIGN STRIPS.  They are so easy to apply and they lasted on my nails for about 2 weeks! Remember I am a Pre- K teacher during the day so I wash my hands about 20-30 times a day and they stayed on GREAT!!!
Nails are painted with Avon Chilling Teal color
and used AVON NAIL ART Cheetah Pink
Again using the AVON NAIL ART Cheetah pink
and this time the Avon Nail Color is Viva pink
My other favorite AVON NAIL ART is the Bows For You
I feel this design is a little Audrey Hepburn-ish

If you are loving these designs and would like to see more AVON NAIL ART DESIGNS you can visit My AVON page and get yourself some of the designs as well as the colors. 


























Happy Manicure Monday!!! Hope you all have a great day and have fun dolling up your nails for the week.
