  Before my coworkers and I met up over a work lunch to celebrate Chinese New Year (Year of the Dragon), we briefly discussed and planned our hair do. My girlfriend had mentioned pinning her hair up with real chopsticks.  Of course, I jumped on board and told her I wanted the same up do. [...]

  Eyelash extensions seem to be all the rage in the Dallas area lately. In fact, I’m tempted to join the crowd. But, at $250 (for a full set), my eyes can wait. Rather than getting them for myself, I got these lashes for my car.  I got a kick out of them after spotting [...]

  Every other month, I rearrange our house furniture. It motivates me to clean the house. In fact, it makes it fun. My hubby begs to differ. He loathes moving furniture; especially if I end up moving it to the original location months down the road. However, I’ve always been this way. I find great [...]

Over the summer, I got our daughter and myself feather hair extensions. I relented after tiring of our daughter’s daily pleading. Secretly, I thought they were cute. I first spotted them at one of the specialty kids’ hair salons. Then, I ran into a stunning mom and daughter duo at Corner Bakery (they were joined at the [...]

We truly are beaming with Texas pride in our household with the recent Mavericks win and parade. What better way to showcase our pride than with cute t-shirts? I purchased all four of our licensed shirts on the corner of our local gas station. They were a bit pricier (about $20 each) than what I [...]

With the suggestion of a co-worker, I decided to do [...]

As I was shopping one early weekend morning, I was drawn to one particular corner within our local Wal-Mart store — the recently marked down racks.  Not one [...]

Anyone who knows me can vouch for my love of beauty products. As a young girl, my mom sold Avon products, which served as a catalyst for sampling lipsticks, eye shadows, and blush. When I was finally allowed to wear make up in high school, all I could afford was the Wet N Wild or [...]

Two of my favorite private sale shopping sites are Zulily and Totsy. Both have lots of great products for kids and for Moms, too! All products are from well-known brands at discounted prices- how cool is that? Members have opportunities to earn credits by sharing the site with their friends- when a friend makes a purchase, [...]

In the time that I’ve been writing here at Today’s Mama, you might have noticed my love for photography.  And if you haven’t, well, I love photography.  I recently wanted a new and updated family picture, but I’ll admit it, I’m picky.  I usually know what I want and that’s a lot of pressure to [...]
