PARTY PEEKS WEDNESDAY: Valentine's Spa Party

To contact us Click HERE

With less than a week until Valentine's Day, I wanted to share a fun party that's perfect for little ladies who want to celebrate on February 14th or at any old sleepover!


I love this fab fete from Itsy Belle featuring Moodylicious Children's Spa products.  After all, what girl doesn't love to be pampered?


All of the guests were given Moodylicious products at the mani/pedi station.


And then they got to work beautifying each other.

In addition to spa treatments, there were plenty of treats too!


These spa "sundaes" made from loofahs and bath beads are too cute.


There were marshmallow sugar scrubbers.


And the lip straw toppers are a great touch.


It doesn't get much sweeter - well, except with some chocolate face frosting!


I don't know about you, but this post is making me want to get my spa on!

You can get more details and see more pictures over on Itsy Belle and the spa products you see here are available from Moodylicious Children's Spa.  For more fun celebration inspiration, follow my Party Ideas board on Pinterest.

FUNDAY MONDAY: I'm Back with Thirty-One! {GIVEAWAY & DISCOUNT}

To contact us Click HERE

I know, I know - I've been completely MIA for, oh, a month or so now.  I have a good reason - my "real" job has been crazy busy! - but it's not a great excuse so I figure what better way to apologize than by having a fun giveaway?

I've been hearing lots of talk about Thirty-One but had never seen their products in person until my friend Brooke offered to send me some to preview.  A few days later, this terrific Organizing Utility Tote arrived at my doorstep:


I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love it!  Not only is the Awesome Blossom pattern adorable but the bag itself is so useable.  It's made from double-laminated nylon and has seven exterior pockets.  What could be more perfect for a mom of twin toddlers who's constantly lugging around diapers, wipes, sippies and snack cups but refuses to carry a diaper bag anymore?  Now I don't have to worry about things spilling and have enough storage for all of the girls' crap, er, goodies.  And I look cute to boot!

Brooke also sent along two of these super cute Ruffled Cinch Sacs for Gabrielle and Alaina and let me tell you, between the sassy color and the frilly ruffles, they fell in love at first sight!


I really like how lightweight they are - I know we'll be filling them with beach toys this summer so the girls can finally lug their own.

Thirty-One has a huge line of products designed to make life easier, and going through their catalog, there was something I wanted on every page.  Like the Hang-Up Home Organizer:


This would SO help with the clutter in my kitchen!  And I totally need one of these Flat-Iron Cases before all of the trips we have scheduled this summer:

A few of these Basket Liners will make my linen closet look Martha Stewart-worthy.


And I can't imagine hitting the beach this summer without these two handy numbers - the Cinch-It-Up Thermal Tote (look at how much it holds!):


And the About Town Blanket, which opens up to 60" x 38"!
I could go on and on - oh, wait, I already have! - but you get the gist.  Just one last thing to love about Thirty-One - everything comes in a variety of fun patterns and you can have almost all of the items personalized, allowing you to create exactly what you want!

To place your order from Thirty-One, just click on the My Events tab here and you'll see one set up for readers of AFOMFT.  There's a great special for April too - if you spend $31 this month, you get 50% off any handbag!


And here's the best part!  All readers will get 10% off their orders (not including shipping and handling) through Sunday, April 8th!  You don't need a code and the 10% off won't show in your cart, but will applied when your order is processed.   What are you waiting for?  Get shopping!  

And no, I didn't forget about that giveaway I mentioned!  My friend Brooke has graciously offered to give away one of the Organizing Utility Totes she sent to me to a lucky AFOMFT reader!  The winner will even be able to pick the pattern.  To enter to win, visit the Thirty-One catalog and post a comment here telling me which of their products you like best (this is mandatory).

TEN THINGS TUESDAY: Monogrammed for Mother's Day

To contact us Click HERE

Can you believe it's May already?  That means one thing in my book - Mother's Day is just around the corner!  Lately, I'm drooling over all things monogrammed, so here's my list of ten great personalized presents any mom is sure to love!

Double Duty Bag I'm Loving:  If there are two types of bags I adore, they're clutches and cross-bodies and this sassy number from Tiny Tulip can be either.  Pair the versatility with the bright, bold color options, and I'll take one of each!



Cute Cuff I'm Loving The Enamel Initial cuffs from C. Wonder are simple and elegant, and I love the idea of wearing a set of them with each of your family member's initials.  


Initial Ring I'm Loving:  This sterling silver monogram ring from Kraftshop has a beautiful vintage feel to it.


Wrap I'm Loving:  I don't know about you, but I live in pashminas.  They're the perfect accessory in my book, and this monogrammed version from Marley Lilly gives a fun twist to an old favorite.



Tote-ally Awesome Bag I'm Loving, Part 1:  Longchamp's bags are an investment but they'll go with everything and last forever.  And the new personalized Le Cabas style has me head over heels - you pick the shape, size, leather color, lining and monogram to make a bag that's as one-of-a-kind as you are!


Tote-ally Awesome Bag I'm Loving, Part 2:  Want something a little easier on the wallet than the Longchamp?  The Buckle Tote from Tiny Tulip should fit the bill.




Adorable Accessory I'm Loving:  This monogrammed pillow from Studio Design Lab is a pretty way to help personalize her space.



Necklace I'm Loving:  The Acrylic Block Monogram Necklaces from Moon and Lola are super mod and come in tons of fab colors.  I think I want one in kelly green.

Gadget Gear I'm Loving:  There are tons of great iPhone and iPad covers available out there but I love the modern feel of the ones from Pencil Shavings Studio.


Sweet Bracelet I'm Loving:  The dainty Initial Heart Charm bracelet from Hot Mix Cold is perfect to wear every day.



Bag to Go in a Bag I'm Loving:  I'm of the belief you can never have too many fun little pouches and these personalized pretties from JuJu Baju are just perfect.  

So there you have some of my favorite monogrammed gift ideas for Mother's Day.  See something you like?  Just leave your browser open with this post up and hope your hubby happens to notice....  And to check out more of my must-haves, visit my Mama's Wish List Pinterest Board.

Please note that this list is made up of things I actually use, read, watch, try, etc. and truly enjoy.  These opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way to share them here.Blog Widget by LinkWithin
