Naughty but Oh so Nice!

Reading romance novels have always seemed like a taboo something that one had to hide..whether it be hidden inside a book of a more substantial nature or the ever useful maneuver of the cover hide. I guess it has to do with the sometimes embarrassing positions that are portrayed on the cover....but who hasn't indulged in one before? I know that I am guilty of it and not afraid to admit it (ahha maybe not in real life)

Harlequin has been providing women everywhere with thousands of romance novels and they are turning the big six zero! Yes I couldn't believe it myself! And to celebrate and to reward their faithful readers and to entice those of you who are a bit shy they are offering sixteen free books for download! Guess you don't have to hide it any longer!

Pearl Paradise

One of the most important things, in my opinion that pulls an outfit together is the accessories! It like the icing on the cake, the cherry on top of the sundae...I could go on and on! I find that one classic that works well for anyone and has a very versitile look is pearls. You can wear them with an evening gown and you can still be causual chic by paring it with a white tee and dark skinny jeans and heels!

Well The Funky Monkey is offering one reader the chance to win an amazing 6.0-7.0 mm Pink Freshwater Pearl Necklace from PearlParadise.com.


"This pink to peach pearl necklace is composed of 6.0-7.0mm, natural-color freshwater pearls. They are the highest quality freshwater pearls available, with an inner glow that brings out their warm iridescence. These round (AAA) or near-round (AA+) pearls are individually knotted on twin silk and finished with a 14 karat gold clasp." (from website)

So what are you waiting for! This would be a perfect addition to your jewelry wardrobe! (USA residents only!)

So you can make your own soda from the comfort of your own home!! Just think about all the pop bottles you would keep out of the landfills!!

With this stroller is how you can adjust the backrests, canopies, bumper bars and infant seat adaptors independently. You can custom the side by side stroller to both of your kids!

Happy (Belated) New Years

I'm back! Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful 2009! I hope there are wonderful things in store for everybody this year! I had a great time up in Whistler but sadly did not get to ski like I hoped to! The only reason why I couldn't was because the temperature was sitting at -15 degrees not factoring in wind chill! I have never experienced that kind of cold and I wasn't about to start by skiing!



So what did you do for New Years Eve?
