Captured in Clay

Some of you may already know of the heartwarming, super special sentiments that are "Captured in Clay" made by local Chesterfield artist, Stacey Funk. For those of you that don't, you'll soon be a fan!

Stacey captures your child's, or loved one's, fingerprints in metal clay and transforms them into beautiful pieces of jewelry and special keepsakes. They make amazing gifts for someone special or for yourself. In addition to Stacey's clay work, she also creates beautiful hand painted ceramic plates using hand and footprints and other personal touches.

If you've seen your friends with beautiful silver pendants adorned with their babes prints, it's definitely Stacey's work. Her work is one of a kind and cherished forever.

Check out Stacey's website and treat yourself to a precious keepsake you'll forever hold close to your heart.

BB Creams, Your new BFF?

BB creams (Beauty Balms) are the latest buzz in skincare. If you haven't heard of them yet, don't fret. They originated in Germany before making their way to Asia and are slowly making themselves known stateside. BB Cream is basically a "do it all" product in one cream. It's used for sun protection, hydration, acts as a primer, smooths skin, softens fine lines and wrinkles, covers up blemishes and imperfections, and evens out skin tone and brightens it!! Holy fabulous-ness! Another great component is that it is tinted, many available in multiple shades. 

There are plenty to choose from, the key is finding which one works best for you. I'm a "New Beauty" girl & religiously follow their advice on my beauty products. But if you don't want to pay for the online subscription or magazine, go online to http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/best-bb-creams and check out Total Beauty's recommendations. They're not quite as sold on them as New Beauty but when you read the comments from the recommendations, they sound pretty darn good to me! I think I'm personally going to try Diorsnow, $50 available at Nordstrom.     

Krispy Kreme Celebrates 75th Birthday w/Freebies!!

After dropping our daughter off at the Childrens Museum for summer camp this morning, my husband & I decided to treat our son to a Krispy Kreme doughnut on W Broad St. As expected, he was in heaven from the moment his teeth hit the warm, squishy awesomeness that is...Krispy Kreme!!

The sweet gal behind the counter informed us that this Friday, July 13th, is Krispy Kreme's 75th birthday. To celebrate, they are giving a 2nd dozen of glazed doughnuts for $.75 when you purchase a dozen. I just might swing by again after I drop off at camp. In fact, if anyone wants me to grab some for you...just let me know since I'll be out there!

Krispy Kreme, 4910 W Broad St, Richmond VA 23230
