September 2011 wish list

I missed several months of wish listing...I miss this series because it sort of encourages me to go shopping and this time, I want to challenge myself to find unique items that wouldn't be found commercially. This month, I made a challenge to find unique odds and ends from Etsy and I didn't just pluck them off the first page of results, I did some proper digging for these items!

1) This bracelet

This is available on etsy at this shop run by CorsoStudio. Perfect for True Blood fans!

2) Duct tape wallet

Have you ever seen a wallet this cool and it was made out of duct tape? No? Me neither! If you're interested, you can find this and many more designs at this shop run by KittysCraft0402.

3) Shoes remixed

Take a regular old pair of shoes and remix them. I thought these were pretty cool although they're not in my size. Shoes with edge are always pretty cool. I found these at GlamorousHeelsToEnvy's store.

4) State Jewelry

One thing that has been on trend recently is "represent your state" jewelry. There are so many cool and unique ways to show off where you live and I just thought this necklace of Maryland was pretty cool. This picture is from IntegrativeCreations' store.

5) Cool Medical ID bracelets

As someone who has asthma and food allergies, I love this bracelet because it doesn't look like your mother's or even your grandmother's medical ID bracelet. It serves its purpose by alerting someone of an allergy while looking good-can your medical bracelet do that?

July 2011 Wish list

It's the beginning of July which means its time for another wish list. Last month, I was able to try most of the products or purchase on my list and for this month, I hope that I can do the same again!

1) Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron ($129.99, http://www.folica.com)

Yes, I know this is a product I can't exactly try, but this is on my long term wish list as in I will get this someday when I have some sort of sizeable, steady income. The only thing about this is that I have to buy it trough Folica who I have dealt with in the past and let me tell you, their customer service wasn't the greatest (I (I hope this isn't the case today, I last dealt with them back in 2008 for a Solia flat iron).

2) Jane Carter Solution Wrap and Roll (about $9.00, Target)

This would be great for wrapping hair when I am ready to rollerset it for my length check. This would also be an attempt to straighten out my natural hair without damaging it...again.

3) MAKE UP FOREVER HD blush in Innuendo ($25, Sephora.com or Sephora stores)

I've tried this before, it's a good product!

4) A quality blush brush.

I don't care about the brand (I'm not that brand loyal to be honest) I just want a good blush brush that will last.

Well, that's my list for the month of July. Happy Fourth of July to all the fellow Americans out there! :-D

Products on the wish list: June 2011

WAKE UP WAKE UP, IT'S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH!

There's always a product on the wish list that you either want to try or buy. Whether its because its out of your price range, limited availability or you can't be bothered to go out of your way to get it-the wish list never goes away. Every month, I'm going to post a wishlist-the wishlist doesn't mean I'm going to buy the product, its just stuff that I want to check out when the month ends and if I like it enough, I'll buy it. So under the jump is a wish list for June 2011.
