Fashion Forward: Doggie Sunglasses and Other Must-Have Items for the Beach

Fashionable pet owners who want to have their dogs look as cool at the pool as they do might want to include a pair of Doggles in their beach bags this summer. The name is almost as cute (and effective) as the product. Doggles are protective goggles for dogs of all shapes and sizes. They have been around since 1997 and sell for about $30. The idea for the protective and stylish sunglasses for dogs came from a pet owner whose own pooch kept missing the Frisbee during games of catch on bright sunny days. What started off as a … Continue reading →

Hello Kitty Goes High Tech

This may be the only time you will ever see me reference my young daughter in the same post alongside Mariah Carey and Britney Spears. But when it comes to Hello Kitty there might not be a bigger fan. The famous female singers may have more money to spend on paraphernalia featuring the fictional feline, but my daughter is not far behind (click here to see her posing in her latest Hello Kitty jacket) and what’s more, the loyalty my offspring has shown to the big headed cat in her lifetime is something Carey and Spears have yet to illustrate … Continue reading →

Four different up-and-coming fashion models will reportedly replace the … Continue reading →

Can You Get Ticketed for Wearing a Speedo in Public?

You can if your name is Bob Hezzelwood. The 61-year-old Florida man was ticketed by a sheriff’s deputy for wearing a Speedo bathing suit at the beach– and now he’s suing the sheriff’s department. Hezzelwood said he has been visiting Bonita Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida for nearly a decade in his Speedo and no one has confronted him or complained about his appearance. At least not to his face. However, that all changed when a local sheriff’s deputy issued Hezzelwood a ticket for trespassing and told him not to return to the beach. That was a year ago. A … Continue reading →

Weight a Minute! Dressing for My Body Type

Being a large woman, and living with the mindset that I’m going to lose all my weight someday, I’ve never wanted to spend money on clothes. In the first place, it’s disheartening to shop for clothes that are labeled several sizes higher than what you really want to be, and in the second place, who wants to spend money on fat clothes? So for the last few years, I’ve spent very little on myself, having a few nicer outfits for church and business, and the rest of my wardrobe consisting of T-shirts and knit pants. Hey, I’m a mommy – … Continue reading →

Look Fabulous in Under a Minute

Posted on by

You don’t have to spend hours in front of a mirror to look fabulous… here are some quick tricks that won’t cost much, either. You can hide raccoon eyes with the right color of eye shadow. Rich, dark colors create depth above the eye — distracting attention from bags underneath. Light, sparkly eye shadow colors can actually make bags more prominent. Another good way to keep attention off those dark circles under your eyes is to play up another feature entirely. Try a bright, flattering lipstick to draw attention away from raccoon eyes. Use a bronzer to make your face … Continue reading →
