I know I'm not the only grown adult out there that's still in love with Hello Kitty. When I was a pre-teen, all you could find with Hello Kitty on it were cute little crayon sets and a few stickers and pencil. Now she's everywhere! Here's my list of the ten cutest Hello Kitty goodies, for the not-so-young, but still completely young-at-heart (like me!)…

1. Hello Kitty Pave Diamond Pendant


Price: $3,500.00 at neimanmarcus.com
If I had to choose any one Hello Kitty item to wear for the rest of my life, this would be it! Isn't it gorgeous? The pendant features an enamel Hello Kitty with pink sapphire hearts and flowers and sparkly pave diamonds on an 18" 18-karat white gold link-chain necklace.

2. Hello Kitty Large Black Patent Leather Handbag


Price: $58.00 at thegiantpeach.com
What glamour puss doesn't want a new handbag, especially a shiny black patent leather one featuring the original fashion diva herself? This roomy bag is embossed with little Hello Kitty face in a very subtle pattern, and features her bright pink signature bow… so cute… but also so grown-up!

3. Hello Kitty Glam Headphones


Price: $18.50 at thegiantpeach.com
I go through ear buds at an alarming rate. I just seem to break them constantly… but not these! They feature the classic Hello Kitty on the cord retractor, and tons of sparkle from rhinestones on the buds! They fit any iPod or iPhone (and all other MP3 player, for that matter)… I won't be losing or breaking these!

Yes, it’s me again and I’m here to provide you a list of ways to save money. Money is what makes our world go round and you need to find a budget to make it to the next paycheck. If you plan to save money, you need to shop smart and choose the right times to shop. I shop during sale weekends or even during holiday seasons. Listen to my tips to make sure you save money.

7. Buy food wisely.

We all shop for food and when we do, we all need to think about shopping smart. Learn some recipes that can be made from cheaper food. Like I do for my family, we cook beef stew or sweet chili and make sure we cook a lot in order to have leftovers. Leftover food can save money, because that is food that can be eaten on another day. The Sunday newspaper is very helpful and full of coupons that can aid you save money as well. Plus the newspaper can tell you when the meat sales are during the week.

6. Cut down on cell phone usage.

Yes, I’m saying cut down on our life line, but we could save a lot of money from reducing texting and phone calls. If you want to save, you should get a pay as you go or prepaid phone and buy time when needed. However, if you can’t part with the extra features that the iPhone or the BlackBerry provides, you need to cut down on the usage. That's the only way, ladies.

5. Buy used stuff.

When it comes to clothes shopping, we spend a lot of money on the kiddies. However, sooner than we expect, they have already outgrown the clothes we bought. That’s why you should consider buying used clothes. Although, for those special times, such as dances, school events or even holidays, buying new clothes will be okay.

When it's my turn to host a play date, I panic just a little. How on earth am I going to keep four or five little 6-year-old girl entertained for a few hours? Sure, snack time will take fifteen minutes, and we can always do our nails… then I discovered easy to make crafts that the girls love. Even better, they come pre-packaged, all from Oriental Trading, so I don't even have to gather all of the items! Sound too good to be true? Here's my list of eight great play-date crafts… I included some seasonal ones, too!


1. Smile Face Sun Magnet Craft Kit


Price: $3.99 at orientaltrading.com
This craft is perfect for a play date at the beginning of spring, or really anytime! The sunshine-y smile face magnet is perfect for hanging a great report card or a play date photo on the fridge once the play date is over, too!

2. Candy Corn Magnet Craft Kit


Price: $4.49 at orientaltrading.com
This little craft is perfect for putting together during any fall play date, especially around Halloween! Both boys and girls will enjoy it, and it gives them something nice to give to a parent or grandparent after the play date is done! Perfect!

3. Jeweled Snowflake Magnet Craft Kit


Price: $4.99 at orientaltrading.com
What a great craft to make during winter! Make it before Christmas, and the kids can give it as a holiday gift. Kids love the glittery rhinestones they can apply anywhere on the snowflakes they like, and even though all of the snowflakes are blue or white, little girls enjoy this one just as much as the boys do!
