Gone are the days when sequins were reserved for the holidays, special occasions, or nights out on the town.

Keep the Change

Like most women, I spend way too much time in my purse looking for items that I know are there, but can never find – especially loose change. I know that I have a ton of coins hanging out in somewhere in my bag, it’s just tedious task of fishing them out when I need them. Time after time, I’m at the cash register a penny or two short for my purchase all because I can’t grab my change quickly. Finally, I’ve taken the time to buy a super cute coin purse to keep all of my hard-to-find loose cash stashed.

Do you use a coin purse or are you like me and can never find your change when you need it?

“Ooh” for Oobees!

Now that I’m spending most of my days inside with Baby BGG – staying comfortable is essential. That’s why Oobee slippers have become one of my newest favorite things!! I have several pairs of slippers, but these are by far the most plush and comfortable! Obviously, they can be worn inside, but believe it or not, they are designed to be worn outside too! Oobee slippers are made with a thick rubber sole that can bear the elements for girls and women on-the-go.

I would never wear slippers outdoors, but for a quick run to the mailbox or to take out the trash, perhaps they would come in handy.


Oobees slippers available at www.oobees.com for $29.95
