courtesy of artcommentsDo you ever get jealous of some of the people you know, who never seem to wear the same outfit twice, or always have the latest styles hanging on the store rack? You don't have to have a lot of money to be fashionable. Twitter Moms has asked the bloggers in their community to share ten tips for being fashionable on a budget, and here are mine.

I Wish I Had Caught That On Video...

If I had a penny for every video we never shot of Amber growing up, I'd be rich. I think we didn't get our video camera until she was about 8 or 9. Once we got one, we were lucky if we remembered to bring it along with us. Seriously we are doing well if we remember to bring our still camera on most occasions. There are times though, that I really wish we had those cute but embarrassing moments on tape, just so we could have shown them at her wedding! (Mean aren't I?!)

My Review:

Rescue the Rainforest By Drinking Orange Juice

2010-05-05T14:00:47Z

Many environmental issues get mentioned heavily around the middle of April each year because of Earth Day. What I just recently found out is that there is another day dedicated to our planet World Environment Day (WED) on June 5th.

I am not always up on the most recent news or statistics for what goes on that impacts Earth on an environmental scale, but I do know that even though I don't live anywhere near a rainforest, the deforestation of it affects my daily life.

The weather on our Transatlantic cruise was a lot cooler than I had anticipated it would be.

I was planning on using the Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter Tanning Lotion I was sent to review, but it was never warm enough to sit out in the sun for any length of time.

If you haven't heard of this tanning lotion before, let me tell you about it.

Beach Towels Make Great Spring/Summer Gifts

Summer's coming and that likely means that at least one day a week you're breaking out the beach towels. Whether it's the beach the pool or just your backyard, beach towels get a lot of use over summer. Even if you don't go in the water (like me, lol!), you probably use one to lay down or sit on. The reason why they make great gifts is because they come in all kinds of desings and of course because they're useful.
