Fun colors, feels like a store!

Eva Longoria's Closet

Visit WebMD much? I admit...I freak out sometimes about unusual things going on in my body. I think all of us suffer from a little hypochondrium. If you’re the type to skip the doctor’s visit and do some research on your own, check out this article from Wall Street Journal. It might give you some answers to funny things you might have found on your body. For example, sometimes I get little bumps on the outside of my eyelids and I always thought I just needed a good scrub. Well, this article explains that it might be the cause of high cholesterol. Click on the interactive graphics and go from body part to body part with this great roll-over-the-body-area-feature. Search for the most likely causes for everything from excess facial hair to feeling cold all over, brittle nails, and spider veins.
We lost a legend this week. A musical icon who was an inspiration for so many other artists for the last 4 decades. I remember NEEDING to have a glittered glove just because Michael had one. As Erika said, "MJ is singing in heaven where no one can judge him." I like to think he moonwalked his way up there!
Etsy. I had always heard about it but never really knew what it was, and I preferred eBay for all my online shopping and selling anyway. Recently I have been introduced to really unique art posted by my fellow bloggers, and I’m now a huge fan. For those of you who also aren’t familiar with Etsy, it’s a website for the general public to buy and sell handmade items, including-but-not-limited-to art, jewelry, photography, clothing, and in my cousin’s case, BirdyPups! These sellers and buyers take a “Handmade Pledge” to support each other. It’s a cute little community that I hope to be a part of someday. 




I keep reading about this Jonathan Adler character on the blogs I follow. I did a little research and I can't believe it's taken me this long to know who he is! I've decided he's my new God. This guy is a genius! He actually has a cool story too. He learned about pottery as a kid at Summer Camp. As an adult, he decided he would be a potter. He showed some of his samples to Barney's in NYC and they placed orders! He continued his art with furniture, textiles, and so on, and now has stores all over the U.S. He's also one of the celebrity judges for Bravo's Top Design reality show!
And here's the best part, after coming straight home to continue the research, I found that he was the mastermind behind Barbie's Malibu Dream House for Barbie's 50th Anniversary. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here. But I beg you, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch Jonathan Adler's video tour of the Dream House. If you don't have the time, see some pics below. It's every girl's dream!







The Wet Brush: My hair gets REALLY knotty after washing it. Detangling usually takes me 15 long minutes of agony. My hair dresser recently used The Wet Brush on me, and the rest is history. It was completely ouchless and only took about 5 strokes to get it perfectly detangled. I like to think it's got magic bristles! I searched through all of Miami for it and found the best deal here. Best $15 I've ever spent.
Slim Velvet Hangers: I'm one of the lucky ones. Although it's not walk-in, I think I have a pretty big closet that stretches from one end of my room to the other. The only problem is that I have no space. Well, actually that was the past. I now have lots of space and I owe it all to these slim hangers. They have added extra space in my closet for those items still on my wish list :) and they look nice too! I've been eyeing these for about a year now and I finally found the best price! Find them at Costco: 50 for about $15! (Compared to Bed, Bath & Beyond: 50 for $40)
Anyone who knows me, knows I hate breakfast food. I just do. Not a fan of eggs or omellettes or anything but bagels in the morning. This morning we had to check out La Cueva de Chango. Another hole-in-the-wall that completely surprises you once you step foot inside. It's a cave with really pretty hanging lanterns inside. My mom would be proud. I actually ate all my breakfast! I couldn't pass it up!
Nelz and I are making our second attempt to go on vacation to Playa del Carmen, Mexico on Monday (or just Playa for short)! After having to cancel the previous booked trip due to that annoying Swine Flu crisis, we're MORE THAN READY NOW! This is my first Playa visit and I'm anxious to see the rumored Euro-style beach areas, restaurants, and bars. We are staying at my friend's condo on the beach called Magia Playa, and if these pictures below look appealing to you, I can give you his contact info.

I hope to blog about our vacation as we're experiencing it from their WiFi area, but please forgive me if I'm too sandy and sun-soaked to type :) Jealous?
I was waiting for these Michael Kors babies to go on sale and thank goodness I did!! Got a great deal. I love them with all my heart.
I know...very strange. Why do I love this piggy bank so much? I don't even save my pennies! But I HAD to get it. It looks really cute on my shelf! (P.S. That's not my shelf but I SO wish it was!)
Marc Jacobs Heart clutch. Looks like I'd have some fun wearing it. It comes in lots of colors too.
And finally, something I wished so desperately I could afford. Tiffany's new key pendants. Prices range but I'd take that little simple, plain, old silver one.
