So, one of the things I have discovered that I enjoy most about reading my friends' blogs is the wealth of sharing of even the tiniest details of each others interests, ideas, families and plain ole cool stuff. So I thought I might take a minute to introduce you to a few of my favorite things of late. So here goes:
1) this great new magazine for multi-tasking, gadget loving, and creative moms called, "Cookie"
2) Aveda's great new product line, "elements", namely the Smoothing Fluid. My hair has become more curly each year and the 80% and above humidity levels of our lovely Lake Erie climate seem to create a frizz that until now has never survived in live captivity. Alas, upon my latest perusal of the intoxicatingly anice scented Aveda store I was given the best piece of hair advice I have ever received, "don't leave your bathroom without this and a flattening iron!"
3) A new home for my digital babies-Picasa --and no, I'm not pitching for Google. I just happened upon this new gem when i started my blog as some of you may have and I have been so impressed with it's interface and simple functionality-to sound not a little geeky! It is a really nice way to organize your millions of photos and it works well for creating unusual collages-especially for blog display (see my posting about creating stationery).
So there area few to mention for today so check them out.
Keep posting your favorite things because I personally get a lot of enjoyment out of it!

as for the curly hair stuff.. well when you find stuff to make straw curly let me know.

Hey Jen, thanks for showing us some of your favorite things--I love to read about stuff like that. I've never heard of that magazine before so I will definitely be checking into it.
My hair doesn't have curl, but I should go to the Aveda Store (I also love the intoxicating smell) and see about the fuzzy breakage I have on the sides of my hair--it makes pulling it back out of the question except for at home.
Apparently you're technologically savvy because I loaded Picasa when I started blogging but then never did anything with it. I wondered how you did the pictures for your stationery post--perhaps I gave up too quickly.
I can't wait to go check out that Aveda product! Frizz is my mortal enemy. I have never heard of Picasa, so I'm going to go check it out now... thanks.
