Marvelous Snacking
We are in the midst of putting up an intricate show (crinoline, constant four part harmonies, ballot counting, harmonica playing, go-go boots, octave jumping, audience participation, and a multitude of step-touching) in a very short period of time.
That calls for some serious snackage.
The four gals agree upon the deliciousness of this new product:
We will happily incorporate the bags into the show (both acts!) in exchange for some free product. Do I smell a sponsorship? Chip'ins presents The Marvelous Wonderettes!
Wonderettes on a five - getting our Chip'in fix
Oh Chip'ins, we think you are marvelous.

Learning is Dangerous
I know mentioned THIS before, but I am really concerned about the person who writes my Spanish word of the day email blasts.
For example, is this really the best sentence for "glue"?
Good morning! Here's your Word of the Day from Transparent Language.
Spanish word: | pegamento |
English translation: | glue |
Part of speech: | noun |
Example sentence |
| Spanish: | Elegรญ una mala semana para dejar de esnifar pegamento. |
| English: | I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. |
Feeling Blue
But not in a morose sort of way. No, no, no. In a cerulean meets turquoise who happens upon cornflower that relays back to teal kind of way. That was confusing. Just see below.
Girly to the extreme:
Girly to the extreme:
Paired with matching nails? Or maybe just on the toes.
When you can't pick a blue. How cute would this be with a simple white tank?
Loving the "something blue" wedding shoe trend among 2011 brides.
Al fresco dining. I might like this even more because of the name.
Splash art:
The real thing is even better:
This vacation-ready tunic could double as a cover-up:
Summer+Stripes=a loving duo.
Back home, I would happily display these vintage inspired blue appliances:
Would love a dress form in an unexpected color. I guess step one would be learning how to sew...
A hose? Yes, a hose. But a BLUE hose!
Singing the blues never felt so happy.

NaCl
My sweet tooth has gotten slightly salty as of late. Maybe it's from all of the sweat formed from 90 degree NYC days? I know, that's gross. My apologies. Back to salt...
I was first introduced to this refreshing & summery drink when I lived in Florida with these two luscious ladies:
It took me about 2 months to finally get the name right. I kept calling it the Scooby Doo, the Snoopy, the Sea Pup...I might not have known the name, but I knew it was delicious.
Excited to experiment with these salt flakes. Imagine the light texture sprinkled over a caprese salad.
I'm usually a fruity girl when it comes to Pinkberry. Don't dare ask me about their attempt to make a chocolate flavor a few years back-yikes. Bad news bears. But after hearing raves of the new salted caramel creation, I had to at least give it a lick. And it was good.
Of course, the real salt I'm craving is the one that comes from being seaside: salt air and salty ocean. The best medicine. Perhaps the Jersey Shore?

Headway
I know it looks likes you would whip up some eggs with it, but this simple head massager is the best.
To quote a friend, "It makes me giggle like a schoolgirl".
And said friend is not a schoolgirl.

Cat Suit
So You Think You Can Dance is already a grand jetรฉ of entertainment, but I have to admit that I often watch the show just for Cat Deeley's quick wit and enviable style. She always seems to be having so much fun with what she does and what she wears. I once read that she does all of her own styling.
Now there's proof! A glimpse into her world backstage, In the Dressing Room with Cat Deeley, shows Cat and both her makeup artist and hairstylist scheming and playing with different looks for each episode. Most of it comes together 5 minutes before she is due onstage and you get some pretty useful tips to looking as fab as Cat.
Check them out HERE.
I can't help but notice that they have a champagne toast every night. No fair.

Summer Shoe In
For summer shoes, there are a few basic requirements: comfortable, versatile, and easily slipped on and off. After all, the optimal shoes for summer are bare feet in the grass. But when you must protect your tootsies, these are ideal.
Sooooo comfortable instantly. No wearing in needed. I want them in every color.
For kicking around. Casual at its best.
Can't go on a trip without THESE.
With the footwear taken care of, it's time for a pedicure...

Practicality
A very thoughtful relative (Let's just call her "Sparky"...) took notice of my many mentions of acquiring cupcakes in my purse and found the perfect solution to my predicament.
Voila!
Similar gadgets found on Amazon:
Not only will this keep a lovely buttercream frosting from ending up all over my keys and Metrocard, but the bottom is a silicone bake cup, making transition from oven to purse effortless.
Can't wait to test this out.
Thanks, Sparky!

No Nos
What a creative and humorous way to deter people from unwanted exits:
Of course, for the 4 year old sitting behind me, the chance of seeing dinosaurs AND crabs with his very own 4 year old eyes only encouraged his curiosity to pass through the forbidden space.
You can't say they didn't warn you.
Since we are in the neighborhood, I'd like to highly recommend the Blue Moon Cafe.
More specifically, one of these:
Cinnamon Roll
It didn't last long.
