The Ice Cream Cupcake

It's ice cream. It's cupcakes. What else do you need to know besides where to get them? Maggie Moo's sells these lovely creations in all different flavors. So forget the Fudgie the Whale ice cream cake this year and pick up some of these yummy treats instead.
























Do You Have $501,640 to Spend on a Wedding Dress?


Yes. This dress costs $501, 640. Why you ask? Because it's ornamented with 10 feet of platinum chain, 33 carats of diamonds, 145.84 carats of aquamarine, white keshi pearls and topped with white south sea pearl pendant suspended from platinum. That's a lot of bling for a dress. This creation is the brainchild of WEtv's "My Fair Wedding" host David Tutera and jewelry designer Erica Courtney. This is a one of a kind dress so you better run fast to Michael C. Fina and stake your claim!

Where Are All the Fleece Jackets?

Did some shopping today with the hubs. I needed a dress to wear to an upcoming wedding, he some jeans and a new fleece jacket. The man loves him some fleece. Unfortunately, finding said fleece at the mall proved to be challenging. One was too tight, others too expensive. So I figured I'd do a little investigating and see if I can find him a nice fleece for under $50.
