Where in the World....

Have I been? Life is a little bit crazy these days but this morning while doing my makeup I thought you should start blogging again. Life is going to be crazy for a lot longer so you just better take the bull by the horns and get going. Here I am. I've got lots of random things to share most of them have nothing to do with hair accessories but I'm sure you'll enjoy them just as much. Here goes:

I have found the best toothpaste ever.

It is called Crest Scope Outlast. I'm not kidding. I found this stuff around Thanksgiving time and was in love at first brush. It leaves your teeth minty fresh for hours. I LOVE IT. I told all my extended family about it and have made a lot of converts. I wonder if Crest will start giving me coupons for being such a marketer.... Anyway, one brother-in-law commented after his trial that. "My teeth have gone from butter yellow to popcorn yellow." Not sure what you want to take from that but you've got to give it a go. You will not regret it. Let me know if you do or if you have and what you think.

Next item of business. I have found the best place to buy toys. Do your kids constantly make requests for things like ninja sets and blue guns and bow and arrows that won't break and horse jumping sets? If not, thank your lucky stars but our Santa and Easter Bunny are worn out from trying to please these hard-to-please youngsters. Santa can make anything they say, but alas, never brings them exactly what they wanted. Because blue guns don't exist...I thought...Until my visit yesterday to KINGS! I'm not kidding. I was complaining to my sis-in-law about how Wal-mart is discontinuing all the things I like to buy and it really is chapping my hide. She said I should try Kings for toys. I did and wowsers. It was amazing. They had blue guns. Blue I tell you. Jumping horse sets, ninja sets, ninja turtle sets.... all the things my boys have been asking for for the last two years of gift receiving holidays and have never gotten because I can't find them. I had to call my husband and have him coax me out of emptying our bank account in one visit. Anyway, if you're having a hard time finding specific toy requests give Kings a shot. I wasn't disappointed.

Now I've shared my latest finds I'm asking for help from you. I need new shoes. Let me preface this by saying I AM SHORT. I will not wear flats. They make me feel super duper short and I hate that. I am looking for both black and brown shoes that I can wear on a daily basis without breaking my ankles, that are somewhat comfortable (see I'm not that picky) that have a wedge or huge base or any kind of height inducing qualities. Do they make shoes like this anymore? I have looked quite a bit and all I'm finding is heels, flats galore, and flip flops. Do people not wear regular brown and black shoes anymore? Please update me on where to find these extinct shoes. I don't want grandma ones either. Am I being specific enough?

p.s. no promises but I plan on posting at least one more time this year :)
