My wonderful friend Tami from Talking with Tami alerted me of this fabulous company – Panty by Post!

Let’s face it, we do not always have time every month to go to the mall and pick up beautiful underwear.  Panty by Post is a monthly subscription of receiving pretty lovely lingerie monthly by mail.  These European style lovelies come in several different size of panties, colors, and sizes to choose from, the gift recipient will definitely feel like the purchase was customized just for them. The gift is very affordable and comes complete in perfect pretty packaging.

These lovelies will serve as a perfect gift for the bride to be for her bridal shower, bridesmaids, or for you wife as a just thinking about you gift.  Don’t forget it is ok to get your own self a subscription!

We are loving this newly released Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary set. Casio launched this limited edition digital camera with just the right amount of bling. What little girl would not love a pink camera with blink and fluff?

My favorite vendor at this years Shecky’s Girls Night Out was Nailorie LLC. Lorie Riley introduced little treats called Hand Candies. Their booth had one of the longest lines of the night. Everyone was so intrigued to find out how did the candy taste and why was it called hand candy! That is because it is a treat for your hands. These delights were made with sea salt and other goodies and comes in a variety of smell good fragances.

Here is how it works:

• Chip off a piece of the hand candy that can be carried around in your purse
• Rub the sea salt on your dry hands
• Then rinse!

That’s it. Just that simple. You will not need hand moisturizer after this.

They also come in a variety of fragance choices:
Afternoon Tea
Awaken
Bergamot Bliss
Blackberry Vanilla
Blissful
Clean White Sheets
Coriander Rose
Cucamelon
Dreamsicle

I get so excited when my clients are thinking of wrapping their favors. This is a great way to personalize your favors and incorporate your color scheme or theme. We found Erin Condren which puts a great spin on wrapping favors.

Just love these enclosure cards

You have all of these wonderful pictures from your engagement session, wedding day, day after shoot and trash the dress session, now what are you going to do with all of these photos? Of course you can preserve them in a traditional photo album but why not display them in your new home?
