Project 365 (1)

Hope everyone is having a blessed and happy Sunday!

Fintia from fallingformakeup has been working on project 365 for a couple of weeks.  The project consists of taking a picture each day for 365 days.

I know it’s going to be a challenge but I’m up for it!

Here goes my first picture!

Yup! You guessed it!

These are the cutest toes ever…their my son’s toes.

He is modeling a pair of pirate monkey flip-flops that my brother got for him yesterday at Children’s Place.

Photo Tag

Fintia from fallingformakeup is tagging everyone who wants to participate in this tag.  All you have to do is reveal the 8th picture from the 8th folder in your computer.

This picture was taken back in January over at the Mayaguez Zoo in Puerto Rico.  It was the second time we had taken our son to the zoo.

I tag anyone who wishes to share their pictures!

Is it a boy or a girl?

My husband, son and I are going to a baby shower today.  For some of you it might seem strange that a guy would go to a baby shower but here in Puerto Rico it’s more of a family type activity than an all women activity.

The honoree is a an ex-collegue of mine, who is having her first baby. Yey for first born babies!  She and her husband have decided to keep the sex of the baby unknown.  I happen to think it’s a bit more exciting for the parents than the to the friends because shopping can be more difficult if you don’t know who you’re getting the gift for.

My husband and I went to Carter’s and picked up a couple of things.

A soon as we saw these bath time accessories I fell in love with them! Everything has a chick theme…I thought it was adorable :-)

What we got:

• bathrobe
• wash cloths
• hooded towel
• slippers

Both my husband and I thought that these things would work well either with a baby boy or girl.

What do you think?

It’s official!

 

It’s official…my family and I are moving to the U.S.A.  (Technically Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States but I tend to think of it as it’s own country.)

Three weekends ago my husband and I flew out to visit the School that he’ll be attending and to get a feel for the area. I have to say that I’m totally digging the place.  It’s set in the country but has a city feel to it.  There are lots of parks, shopping malls, museums and restaurants. 

I was very anxious to see the area because I had never been there before. I have to say that after having seen the area and met some of the couples that are also moving to the area I feel much more comfortable. I can’t wait to start this new chapter in our lives!

Toddler Fashions: Jumping Beans

I hope all of you lovelies are having a wonderful and blessed week!

My wonderful mother-in-law, Carol, sent us a little package last week.  The package included mail, magazines and a little surprise for my son.

Erik got this cute little Jumping Beans set!

• It’s a size 2T light blue polo with a dark blue stripe and some cute little sea animals-which I love because summer is right around the corner.
• The shorts are navy blue with a gray vertical line running down the sides.  The material is great for where we live at the moment because it’s very light and non-heavy.

Erik also got a sweet, yummy treat!

• My son loved these cookies. Not only were they crunchy and yummy but they came in a cute little colorful box.

Fashions for Him: Calvin Klein

Hope all of you lovely readers are having a fun, cool, blessed week!

I don’t think I had mentioned this but my husband is starting Business School in August so we thought it would be a good idea to spruce up his wardrobe.  We were thinking of going with a smart casual and business casual look.

We went to our local Outlet and picked up two shirts from Calvin Klein

Shirt # 1

• This is nice white slim fit shirt with vertical black lines.
• We were thinking that we could pair the shirt with some nice black slacks, gray or charcoal trousers or even a nice pair of jeans.

Shirt # 2

 

 

• This is a nice gray slim fit shirt with white tiny squares.
• The shoulders are a bit boxy looking but I think it just helps my husband look taller.
• Compared to the first shirt this one has a more casual look to it so I would pair it up with some nice, dark jeans.

Sorry about the poor quality in pictures! I kept looking for good lighting but it just didn’t workout as it was cloudy outside :-)

I hope to do more posts like this because my husband and I still have a lot of shopping to do :-)

What would you guys pair these shirts with?

Cool Music!

As I was driving my mother’s car yesterday morning I noticed that she had a Michael Jackson CD.  I immediately grabbed it and popped it in the CD player.  As soon as the music started, my body started to move to the beat of the songs and a surge of happy-good feelings went traveling through my body.

It doesn’t matter how long I go without listening to his songs because when I do hear them they sound better and better.  I’ve been listening to Michael Jackson’s music ever since I can remember.

No matter what song of his you listen to you can always tell it’s him.  He had a unique voice, style and dancing abilities which I would say are unparalleled to this day.

Some of my favorite MJ songs are:

• Thriller
• Beat It
• Billie Jean
• Smooth Criminal
• Dirty Diana

What are some of your favorite Jackson songs?

I just wanted to share with all you lovelies the beautiful flowers my husband and son gave me for Mother’s Day.

Hope all of you lovely mothers had a wonderful day yesterday!

Review: L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Cream Cleanser

I went shopping recently and picked up this cleanser from my local Walmart.  I had been wanting to try this product out for some time now but decided to wait until my current face wash ran out.

Price: $5.00

 

What makes this product unique:

• Go 360° Clean Deep Facial Cleansers bring you the very first Scrublet™.
• This super-soft, flexible cleansing disc applies the cleanser with 500 extra-supple touch points that gently glide across the skin.
• The cleanser formulas activate on contact to create a hi-foaming lather, which goes deep into pores, unclogging them and gently removing traces of dirt, oil and makeup in every last pore, crease and crevice.

Benefits

• Smaller pores: Go 360° Clean shrinks the appearance of pore size and refinishes the skin’s surface to reveal skin with more clarity.
• Deeper cleansing: Unique formulas reach down deeper to every last pore for a deep, deep clean. Keeps pores clean day after day.
• Softer skin: Sweeps away dead skin cells for an extraordinary softening and smoothing effect
• Easy-to-use: Scrublet™ cleanses pore-by-pore with a fuss-free cleansing process

This cleanser comes in 4 different formulas:

• Exfoliating Scrub
• Gel
• Lotion
• Sensitive Skin

My Verdict on the product:

• The scrublet feels very soft when it comes into contact with the skin. 
• The scrublet’s softness and flexibility allows you to glide it on every little crevice and contour of the skin. 
• The cleanser has a very pleasant, refreshing , nice orange and minty smell to it. 
• If you dislike strong scents on your face then maybe this product might not be for you.  I for one enjoyed taking in the scents because it made me feel like I was getting a facial at a spa.
• As you lather up your face you immediately start to feel like the product is getting deep into the skin.  I for one enjoyed the tingly feeling that it gives.
• For the most part I would say that the cleanser leaves your face feeling cool, refreshed and smooth.

For the moment I’m very happy with this product!
