Disney's First BLACK Princess!

USA Weekend Cover Page

Oh my.

When I first saw this in my newspaper, this November 1 Sunday morning, a warm smile began within me. I love it so much. Most of us can say we grew up with Disney.



Princess Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Cinderella... and now, the first BLACK Disney Princess, whom has been named Tiana. She's gorgeous and superiorly elegantly clad. She's so beautiful!




...We're making strides.
All Things Godly, surely this is. To the collection it goes! :)

Knits

Hm, I can totally get lost sometimes. I have no idea where this feature came from. All I know is, that I clicked on a follower's profile (from Twitter), then another link and then another and came across this jewel:



Someone would definitely have to SHOW me how to wrap this thing! Like, create a YouTube How-To vid or something, lol. It's really pretty; high-quality picture as well.

Knitwit Emma Bradbury ships from The United Kingdom, so many of her items are quite expensive (well, expensive to my liking, lol). This particular knit scarf/piece goes for around $160.

Cutesy Snacksters

Ohhh, I love browsing Etsy.com So many phenomenal creations. Something note-worthy I found today on Etsy:

I call these "snacksters" because I'm a nerd. But, sewdarnsimple created these cute little boogers, and she calls them Reusable Baggies. Either way, how adorable and parsimonious, yet useful are these? I love them! (Of course I love them. *doh* I love everything that I post about here obviously, right? Hehe!)

sewdarnsimple is selling these cuties for a modest $6-$7 on Etsy.

Not only do I love the baggie and the great solution it supplies for our kiddie, adult and snacking needs alike; I adore the photowork and the little "sewdarnsimple" patch/label is genius. The picture is gorgeous on the white background with the bright green apple centerfront. Makes me love the product even more.

...I've made it a point that whenever I'm blog surfing or Etsy-surfing, to blog about it here. I can't hog all the good stuff, hehe!!

$4 Degree Clinical at CVS Last Week

I stopped by CVS yesterday on my way home from work to grab some of the $1.88 Dial Bar Soap 3-pack, get $1 ECB's. I also had a $.35 coupon for those... so $.53 for a 3-pack, after ECB's!

While in there, I skimmed through the sales flier and saw Degree Clinical on sale for $6! I also had some $2 coupons, so $4 each regularly priced at $9.99. SCORE! And, the coupons expire on the 25th. I got two. Good thing I stopped in, because they are not on sale this week at CVS.


Here's my deals:

1 Dial White 3-pack $1.88
2 Degree Clinical Strength $12

Total $13.88

less $.35 Dial Q
less $2 Degree Q
less $2 Degree Q

= $9.53

less $2 ECB
less $2 ECB

= $5.53 OOP + tax, get $1 ECB from Dial Soap

:) :)

We did GOOD! This stuff is so great, it works wonders for me. My new antiperspirant. I have soooo many old sticks of deo that I got for free; I must donate them!

Dove Beauty Campaign

How lovely is this ad by Dove?
What do you see?

I see a beautiful little multi-racial girl whose identity concerning beauty, has been affirmed.

The quote says "Now I know my hair is beautiful."

Young girls and adults alike, struggle with their hair. White, black, multi-racial. It's more common than you think; you'd never know it. The kinks, the knots. The EFFORT.

I think not only that her hair is beautiful, she is beautiful just as she is. The way God created her to be. And, Dove is beautiful for pushing such a wonderful, uplifting and inspiring campaign. Advertising and media images are powerful. Young girls aspire to be like the girls they see in the magazines and on T.V.

So, why not have a beautiful multi-racial girl for an ad? She's gorgeous, and I hope that other girls can see the beauty in themselves, from this little girl.

I Don't Even Have Kids!

Haha, no kids here... not even married yet. But, I'm definitely prematurely fond of children's clothing, mom + baby blogs, planning for the future and checking everything out.

Take a gander at this cute little thing I found on Etsy from SewnNatural. It's a kid's car seat organizer that just sits on the back of the passenger's side! How inventive! I've never seen one of these before. It's so smart and innovative.





Look at the cute yellow solo-duck, and the other regular ones. Hehe. Very unique and creative.

What a great way to organize the kiddies stuff. Definite score with this one, SewnNatural. And for only $45, I love it.
