Headband sneak preview...

I am excited to introduce a bunch of new headbands this season. An infinite variety to choose from since, as usual, I very seldom duplicate them. All made out of genuine stones and crystals.

6 Handmade Gift Ideas for Mom...

There is always a especial significance placed onto giving or receiving a handmade gift. Now, if you also add the $$ savings, I think it makes it way worth the time. Since we still have a couple of weeks to mother's day, here are some great tutorials that are worth making; and just as beautiful and way more meaningful than any store bought gift.

TLC's Extreme Couponing...

Have you see the new TLC show Extreme Couponing? I found it to be fascinating! Although "couponing", like pretty much anything, can become addictive, it is amazing to see how much we can actually save by taking advantage of  the discounts and coupons out there! For a TV program schedule click here. Here is a short list of my favorite frugal living sites:

Seriously, they have some amazing stuff (myself not included) ;-)  Click here to check out their blog.

Enjoying Kiki...

Despite how busy I have found myself in the last few weeks getting ready for Beehive Bazaar in a couple of weeks, my little girl has made my life so happy by saying her first "mamama" this last weekend. I am such a proud "mama"! And...her two little front teeth are very visible now...

This last weekend we also attended Maddux Couture Boutique Open House, and had so much fun browsing through their amazing selection of clothes at very reasonable prices, and enjoying their amazing treats. If you haven't had a chance to visit them yet, you may want to check them out. They are located at 157 N University Ave in downtown Provo.

Avocado Pesto Pasta...

1 medium size avocado, pitted
1/2 lemon juice
3 cloves garlic
1 cup approx, fresh basil
1/4 cup walnuts
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
sea salt to taste
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta, or pasta of your choice

Bring about 3-4 cups of water to boil. Add the pasta and cook the in medium heat for about 10-15 min. 
Meanwhile, mix the rest of the ingredient in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
Once pasta in cooked, drain and rinse. Place pasta in a large bowl, pour on the sauce and toss until fully combined. Garnish some grated Parmesan cheese on top as desired.

* This pesto sauce works great as a dip too...
