Manic Monday

It’s another Manic Monday in Gigi’s household.

Have you heard about Elle Magazine’s 21 Days to a More Youthful You? It’s a 21 days challange to help create a more youthful stress less you. I’m trying it because my life is stressful.  Today’s first tip is:
Day 1: Pick Up a Jump Rope

I can do that. Only, they don’t tell you how long. Or if your suppose to do it everyday.

I spent the weekend lusting all of the latest runway and accessories galleries from Milan, including Gianfranco Ferré, Moschino, Versace, and Blugirl. Moschino stacked models' wrists with thick gold and ceramic bangles and showed studded quilted purses. Blugirl's ruffles, polka dots, and hair bows made smiling models look like they'd just been dipped in Spring, while sequins and beading jazzed up simple shift dresses at Gianfranco Ferré.

I will be reviewing the following books this week at Smexy Books so come on over and take a look:

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, The Grimrose Path by Rob Thurman, and Path Of The Sun by Violetta Malan.

SQUEEE!!! I have been given a fantastic opportunity to review a product from CSN Stores, a HUGE 200 store plus website with EVERYTHING you could ever want and some you never even thought about. I’m having a hard time deciding between fashion (handbags and shoes) or furniture (I really need a new bookcase). What do you think? Let me know. :)

I’m in debates right now about purchasing a new e reader. Even though my Sony isn’t even 4 months old…I feel the need for more bang for my buck. I have been looking at the irobot apad. It is a google android powered e reader designed along the same lines as the ipad but for 1/2 the cost.

But then I’m also leaning towards the new Kindle. Decisions….decisions… Regardless, should I get one I will be offering my  e reader in a giveaway. :)

That’s it for my Manic Monday. Have a great week and remember folks,  “They can kill you, but they can’t eat you.”

Manic Monday!!!!!!!!

Kidlet is finally well enough to go back to school. YEA!! Not that I don't enjoy my child being home but it always seems to morph from, "Mommy...I'm sick," to "Mommy, I'm feeling better now but I'd still like for you to wait on me hand and foot because I love you and this is how I show it."

Thursday 9/23 I will announce the winner of my RALPH LAUREN giveaway. Contest ends at midnight 9/22 so you still have plenty of time to enter. :)


I have 4 reviews up today at Smexybooks this week:
Riding The Night by Jaci Burton
The Reapers Are The Angels by Alden Bell
Queen of Shadows by Diane Sylvan
Taken By Midnight by Lara Adrian

Currently reading Meljean Brook's Iron Duke...one of the most anticipated steampunk romance fantasy novels of the year.

Later on this week I will be looking at what the stores will be offering this Fall based on showings from New York's fashion week last week, showing you new offerings from my store,  new view on WTH Wednesday, and some tempting items that I cannot live without.

Kidlet went back to school today.

Is it just me that has anxiety attacks during the time? At the beginning of every school year I am so paranoid for about 2 weeks. I fear the worse. Kidnapping, school terrorist attacks, fire, flood, plague. I'm not sure what's wrong with me because non e of this has ever happened. It's like I have to retrain myself every year to allow her to go somewhere with out me. *sigh*  So if I seem weird, it's ok. It's just my kid going back to school. I'll be ok in about 2 weeks.




It is my grandma's birthday day this week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!
My mom called me weeks ago to remind me to get her a Happy Birthday card.  
My response, "Duh mom...Im40yearsoldIthinkcanremembermygramndmasbirthday." 
Of course I forgot to get her a card. *sigh*
