How did you make that?

I have always considered myself a crafty kinda girl, but lately I just don't have the time to figure anything out. I'm so happy there's gals like Melissa who offer up their finds. So with that said, Meet Melissa...
"Being a mom I rarely wear any of my cute clothes during the week. Whether for comfort reasons or for the fact my kids always manage to get me dirty. So when I came across some pricey but very cute everyday t-shirts from jcrew, I thought I would figure out how to make them. So that's what I did." Check out the tutorial HERE!

"What do we eat?"...

It's about time for all the spooky witches and ghosts to take flight but I have a feeling there will be a few more vampires out this Halloween season. There's just something about those thirsty red eyes that send chills down the spine. We all know Edward has those luring eyes & now you can too, with a little help from Coastal Contacts special effects contacts. They come in a variety of designs but in case you don't recognise me at the midnight showing of "New Moon", I'll be the one that's all sparkly & with the "Vampire Red" eyes;)
How rad is this giveaway?... Coastal Contacts would like to offer SF readers a pair of SFX lenses!!! Winners choice out of any of the 15 styles in our “Most Popular” Category.

Say NO to the Gorilla suit.

Some companies find it necessary to put their employees in costumes to attract customers. Yes, the gorilla suits usually get my kids attention but IT FREAKS THEM OUT. But I hav

e to admit, they are quite fond of the Banana Man suit, there's nothing scary about him, he drinks wheat grass shots so he must have super powers, right? But mostly my kids love him because he gives them Jamba's! Chunky Strawberry Topper, Blackberry Bliss & Oatmeal are a few of our favorites. I noticed the Pumpkin Smash is back, let me know if you've tried that October treat!

Thanks to the Idaho Falls, ID Jamba Juice, we have a $15 Gift Card to giveaway to a lucky SF reader!

A little less space

I usually have the most suitcases packed whenever we go on a trip. Women just require so much more then men. Between the hair dyer, make up bag etc etc, it all adds up. The Hana Mini is so compact and easily just slips into my luggage. It even comes with a cute little bag... just what I need:) I can't leave home without a flat iron, you can't either!

Take a Vacation

I recently moved to downtown Portland to begin college. The one thing that I have noticed most while living in a big city, is the constant noise. There is always a low humming of distant traffic on one of the 3 major freeways in downtown. Living in a building that houses a fire station certainly is not a quiet nesting area for a relaxing nap. To add to the confusion there is also a max (tram) line that wraps around my building and multiple buses. If that isn't enough to make you cut your ears off, it's also a student housing building, so you have loud neighbors and yelling young adults on the streets. I love it... really.

Sometimes though with all this hustle and bustle, my ears need a vacation. Silence doesn't exist in my world, so I need to find an euphoric substitute to silence. Guess what? I FOUND IT!

I have became a faithful listener to Jon Schmidt while I spent two years living in England. Recently, Jon has again put me in a musical spell with his creative and fresh music.

Jon Schmidt's new CD is, 'Bonus Tracks'. If you like Taylor Swift, there is a special song for you. A rock inspired track, and even a little peanuts on the CD. It has it all.

Schmidt's style of piano is unlike anything I have heard, but my ears love it! I think one of my all time favorites is 'Winter Wind' from his 'Walk in the Woods' album. I would listen to this while in England everyday and play the air piano while in the passenger seat of the car. I dreamed of the day when I got home and got the sheet music to play this masterpiece.

On the new Album 'Bonus Tracks' there are a couple songs that might rival 'Winter Wind'. The 'ROCKmaninoff', or even 'Love Story meets Love Story', which you can watch a video of.

Jon Schmidt is pretty much the coolest guy EVER and wants to give away one copy of his newest album!

To Enter Tell Us Your Favorite song From Jon Schmidt!
