90s Nostalgia




Calling all eighties and nineties babies who grew up on shows like Pete and Pete, Clarissa Explains It All, All That along with the rest of the Nickelodeon shows, what was your favorite Nickelodeon show. Since I grew up with a borther who read Stephen King and regularly watched sci-fi horror with my dad, it's no surprise that I became a horror nerd. I was reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark in second grade, so hands down, Are You Afraid of the Dark was my favorite show. I was also a sucker for Legends of the Hidden Temple, Alex Mack, The Wild Thornberrys and Doug. I secretly wished I could be a contestant on the show. What was your favorite show when you were growing up? What did you grow up watching, Disney, Nickelodeon, The N, Cartoon Network, ABC family?

Stephanie Johnson





It all started when Maria Shriver asked Stephanie Johnson to personally design cosmetic bags to be given away at a charity function and since that event her designs have appeared everywhere from hanging off the shoulders of big celebrities like Cameron Diaz, Christiane Amanpour and Condoleezza Rices as well as appearing in several magazines as a best seller since 2001. I immediately purchased one of her iconic cosmetic bags. It will be arriving next week.

Leading Ladies




I have been a huge Vanessa Carlton fan since the beginning of her singing career. I know there are rumors floating around about this being her last album but I really hope this isn't the end. Thank you for creating such lovely music.

Mackenzie Childs


Toulouse Goose Planter

Yet another mother influenced obsession!Most tea parties I was invited to as a little girl, this was the brand that most mothers and the local women's club used. Now that I'm older I definitely have an appreciation and have grown to love this brand and my mother's tea sets.  Of course now they sell an array of things from kitchenware, furniture and home decor.

Tiny Braids





Fast and easy up dos include small braids, loose curls and a messy pony. Simply take a few strands of hair and braid as you normally would and fold across your hairline and pin behind your ear. Finish curling your hair either in messy beachy waves or loose curls and throw into a low ponytail and voila, a ten minute hairdo that looks super cute.
