"Nothing gold can stay"

Here’s another first coming from Simple Finds. In fact, there are a few firsts. Holms TP Photography is the first photography-art inspired review we’ve ever done. It is the first time we have ever done a review on the 30th of March in the year of 2009. It is the first review we have done since the one-year-mark of the death of Richard Lloyd (according to Wikipedia). It is… whoa, you don’t know Richard Lloyd? He was a racing car driver, duh! Okay, moving along, it is the first time—eh, that’s enough of that.

Make it a first for yourself too. Everyone likes to have art around and this is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of an up-and-coming artist and his very respectable prices, which, in my opinion, are great for the quality you’ll receive. (My guess is you haven’t bought much art before, if so you’ll know how great these are.) Besides, if you wait too long, he’ll only get bigger and more expensive.

One thing I’m afraid of, as I mention this photography, is that you may just become addicted. I feel this is an excellent time to mention “Simple Finds Disclaimer: We are not held responsible for your addiction, or the addiction your eyes may undergo, due to the fresh photography you will experience.” Now that that is out of the way, I hold no reserve in giving my full and complete endorsement to Holms TP Photography.
Check out Holms TP today and the first 25 Simple Finds readers will receive a special
**Buy One, Get One FREE offer, buy any 5x7 print and get one FREE!! Be sure to mention Simple Finds in the notes to seller & which FREE print you would like.**

We also have a cool GIVEAWAY today! Winner will receive 3-5x7's of their choice!

"Barefoot un-technology"

I'm most comfortable wearing a pair of flip flops, even if I'm going to be walking around all day, I would choose them over a pair of shoes any day. When I came across Sanuk Sandals, I was a little confused because it said they were sandals but they looked more like a shoe. But once I slid it on my foot and walked around, it felt like I was wearing my favorite pair of flip flops... only better. Sanuk has design their sandals around the natural functions of our feet. They flex and bend right along with your foot while wearing them, just as our feet were naturally designed to do. I consider my Sanuk's definitely my favorite new shoe, I mean sandal... I'll let you decide what you want to call them:)

Available in styles for you whole family, wouldn't want anyone to miss out. See website for a list of online retailers.

Party On, Excellent!

The Grateful Thread has come up with one of the most innovative way of displaying those old vinyl records by turning them into clocks. If you are a fan of music, you know you are a fan of vinyl.

There are plenty of options for you to select the one just right for your wall.

Could it really be...

Spring? Apparently, because all the new spring dresses are being released! Shabby Apple is one of my favorite dress shops. Their collection is modest but still make you look a little sassy. Their selection is amazing but if your having trouble deciding, check out the Fit To Flatter guide, follow the steps and they'll suggest dresses that will appeal to your body type. The Lois Lane is one that caught my eye. Not sure if it's because my favorite color is red or if it's because it was named after Superman's Love....

One footstep at a time

Summer is coming & that means the outdoor play will be beginning soon. Don't get me wrong I heart my flip flops but sometimes they just don't work exploring with the boys. I just received the J-41 Aquarius water ready shoes & they are perfect for running around with the boys. Made with 100% recycled and recyclable materials J-41 offers comfort, quality & versatility. Consider the Aquarius a step up from your typical slip on shoe. Let's face it boys can be pretty unpredictable with these shoes I can keep up with the kids and never have to take them off, even if one decides to run into a stream...again.
Available at several online retailers. Check them out HERE.

Just whenever

Normally when I change my clothes mid day, I'm not really too excited about it. Usually it's because a peanut butter sandwich got smeared down the front of my shirt or something. Well ever since my Athleta outfits arrived, I just can't seem to quit thinking of excuses to change my clothes. And believe me, I've got to really like something, if it makes me want to go for a run in 30 degree weather:) The new spring line is just unveiling and I think I found the site I'll be stalking for the next few months. The Chase Skort Outfit is just the right thing to wear for an intense work out & then follow it with the ever so relaxing Strata Hoodie Outfit. Everything is soft and extremely comfortable & the amazing thing is I almost feel stress free through out the whole day just wearing them. And I'm really not kidding, I went for a run... don't laugh.

It's always pleasing when companies such as Scentsy put in extra efforts into their products that help make my day dreams complete. The new spring catalog is out & all my favorites scents are back & then some... Love the tropical paradise of Havana Cabana & the fragrant Beach aroma makes me throw on my flip flops! I have a large Scentsy warmer in my kitchen but the new plug-in warmers are perfect for the bathroom or bedroom & make a great gift for a good friend:)

Bend it like Objectivo

I’m not going to lull you into a belief that I don’t care about soccer. That’s why I want to introduce another great store, Objectivo, with awesome custom soccer shirts (there are even some for your babies.) Next time you lace up your boots (soccer shoes/cleats) you should be sporting one of these shirts to show you are a true fan.
Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you should still consider one of the Spanish national team’s shirts (la furia roja and reyes de europa.) That’s my team. Plus, they’d look great on you.

We have a sweet giveaway, winner can choose their choice of shirt!

The outfit will help

I'm the most uncoordinated person I know. And when it comes to exercising, I'm not so graceful. I actually have to make sure nobody else is around. Not because I'm embarrassed but because I fear I might hurt them! But how can I be a klutz while wearing an outfit that has a name like Harmonious? I found it at lucy & everything about it flows. The fabrics are buttery soft and they'll allow your movements to stream & not like the tide just rolled in. You'll look like a pro but most of all, your yoga tree position... will look quite polished:) Get a FREE 2-pack of training socks ($14 value) at your nearest lucy store! No purchase necessary.

So there is hope

Does anyone else have a spice cabinet that looks worse than mine? Mine has a dash of cinnamon here and a few bottle of how knows what over there. I came across Purpose Designs a while back & I had to share their spiffy magnetic spice racks. I can just hear my spices begging to be reorganized & turn into modern art pieces like these. If only my counter wasn't so cluttered... these would sure "spice" my kitchen up a bit:)

Proper identification please

If you're a traveler, you know you have to constantly show your passport through out your trip. They can be spendy & Starlit Nest passport covers are the perfect way to keep them in good shape. For around $8 these protective covers can be made with a fabric of your choice & stamped with a handmade stamp with the words "passport" on the cover. I was able to use mine just recently and even the ticket agent was gushing over it. "Wow, that sure is clever", to be exact! Perfect gift for the traveler on your list. We have a passport cover(airplane print) to giveaway!
