Nick@Nite, You're In Time-Out

For years I have enjoyed most of Nick at Nite's evening line ups, such as; I Dream of Jeannie, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Growing Pains and Happy Days, just to name a few. I love those shows that bring back childhood memories. And anyone can see these are family shows that for the most part the entire family can watch. I remember being thrilled about any new line up of old shows that would rerun at Nick@Nite. A little secret about myself is I HATE HORROR films and often times during October and sadly also in December there are a million horror films that are released and their previews are all over the place and I could always count on sweet little innocent Nick@Nite to not air any of them. Another thing about the Nick@Nite line ups were that they were pretty squeaky clean. Nothing that needed *bleeps* or super editing to cut out major vulgarity. 

Many mommies out there can say that when the children are home watching television, the channel pretty much stays on either Nickelodeon or Disney. On one fine evening, while my girls were asleep, I was downstairs in my kitchen making school lunches for the next day and my television was still on. I can not recall the cartoon that was on at the time but once it was over NickMom or Moms Nite Out came on which was a stand up comedy show where people came and said all kinds of parenting type jokes (which were not that funny if you ask me) BUT GET THIS.....they used the B-word and A-hole AND without any bleeping! 

Call me a square but I am truly disappointed! I mean does Nick have to jump on the dirty bandwagon with everyone else??? They were already pushing it with Teen Nick....now this!!! I mean really...was that necessary?? I understand as a mother that sometimes you need that moment to let your hair down, but trust me...we can find that time in other places instead of on our children's television station. I mean Nickeloden/Nick@Nite has been so innocent....and if some of you have children that need that TV on to help fall asleep or if your sweetie pie is up late not feeling well you subconsciously felt safe with your TV on the NICK station....WELL NOT ANYMORE.....profanity is not a good look!! So NICK@NITE you are in TIME-OUT!!! Guess they couldn't compete with ADULTSWIM and CartoonNetwork anymore.

Maybelline DREAM NUDE Airfoam

So...a little birdie...whom I love dearly, told me about this new product from Maybelline (hi Mom!!). I personally do not wear foundation at all, not that I am against it....but I have always been afraid of getting so use to it that I would hate the way I would look without it...and also because the challenge of finding that perfect color seemed way too impossible. So, back to this birdie....she told me about this new product and how wonderful it looked on the skin. It was described as light and airy and left the skin with a nice subtle glow. I said "why not" and went to the store to face my fears! I will be trying this new product and sharing my thoughts tomorrow, so until then!!!

Macarons Followup

 So the vibrant cookies arrived at my door on time and I could not wait to start tasting...but I did have to WAIT since I promised my hubby bubby that I would not eat one without him. *Love you honey*

I ordered a dozen and within the box were: white chocolate, Pistachio, Coconut, Caramel "Fleur de Sel", Honey Lavender, Cappuccino, Raspberry, Cassis, Chocolate Passion fruit, Vanilla, Matcha green tea, and Pumpkin Cinnamon. These cookies in my words are like little cakes with a different cream like center for each flavor. I enjoyed the overall texture of the macarons and of course the look of them are just fabulous! I have to be honest; I have only tried a few so far but the Caramel "Fleur de Sel" has already stolen my heart!!! I will be ordering a dozen or more of that flavor alone!

UnSTOPables

OMG!! Fragranced laundry detergent and fabric softeners have nothing on Downy's newest creation, Unstopables In-wash scent booster! They are amazing, and even with their high price the smell alone has me hooked.

For 7.99 you can enjoy one of their two fragrances and the scent does really last until the clothes are headed to the washer again. I just love these little things!!
