Musings of the Day: Is It Ok to Paint Your Little Boy’s Nails?

J Crew Jenna Paints Sons Nails

It’s funny I’m writing this post today as some of us were gushing over a Korean Drama, Playful Kiss, yesterday.

In the drama, the lead boy’s mother expresses how much she always wanted a little girl but she ended up with two boys. She goes on to tell the girl who’s crushing on her son how she would dress him up as a girl when he was little and even shows her pictures of him with pigtails.

It’s a rather cute story and makes for some great blackmail material for the girl who’s crushing so badly on that boy!

By now you may have already read the outrage over the J. Crew catalog which features president and creative director Jenna Lyons and her family. In one of the photos she’s painting her five year old son’s toenails pink and explains, “Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon.”

Well the shiz has hit the fan and everyone has opinion on how wrong or right this is.

What do you think?

Is it right or wrong to paint your small son’s toes nail and finger nails?

Musings of the Day: How Do You Like Your Beauty Served?

Beauty Browser

Curious minds but how do you prefer reading your beauty on websites?

1 post a day? 2? 10? 1 a week?

Do you like seeing high res images of collections?

Prefer just reading reviews and not hearing about new products or collections?

Do you like just high end posts? Lower budget ends? Both?

Do you like to hear about products from different countries or just ones you can get in the US?

I’d love to hear how you like reading beauty!

Musings of the Day: Do you indulge in “fruity” skincare?

Super Fruits Musings of the Day

Super Fruits are taking the skincare world by storm lately. Honestly, acai, goji, etc…makes me a little wary. It reminds me of a really bad infomercial trying to sell you a slimmer body if you drink a few gallons of goji.

But Super Fruits in my skincare?

I’m so on board.

Do you indulge in fruity skincare?

Come Out of Lurkdom, Have a Cuppa, and Share Some Memories: How Long Have You Been Reading Musings?

MusingsofaMuse 2008

I was discussing my site with a friend this morning and got to reminiscing about how much it has grown in the last few years.

I had a few babbles and a blog of sorts on mySpace but later on moved to Blogger and migrated to to my own server running the WordPress software about two years ago. I started the site on a pure whim as it was kinda me talking to myself about my latest hauls and purchases but my audience somehow grew and today I have over 300,000 people from around the world stopping by to say hey and nearly 1 million page views that those people are reading every month.

Above is one of my templates from way back in 2008 ha not so glamorous I fear.

I’m curious how long have you been reading here?

Since the beginner? A year? two?

Do share!

And for the lurkers out there, I welcome you to step in and have a little chat with me today and all the other readers that comment daily! De-lurk! icon smile

I look forward to hearing from everyone today!

TGIF!
