Current Obsession: WASHI TAPE

I can't get my mind off WASHI TAPE! 

Does anyone else feel the same way? 

Every website, blog, magazine I look at, has it showcased. 

Solids, Prints, Patterns, Shapes, OH  MY!!!

Needless to say, I am obsessed and need to get myself some. However, I am nervous to use it. Even though it is adorable up, I live in a rental so eventually I am sure I will be moving. That being said, I don't want to ruin my pictures, posters, and art taking them off the wall. I know it is suppose to be removable but still.... HELP! What would you do? 

DO IT? DON'T IT?

In the meantime, while I make a decision, I have been researching where to purchase. I really want neon stripes, hot pink, flat black, and grey. I came across quite a few blog post on it and every one of them pointed me to MT Masking Tape out of Japan. I loved all the pictures on their site but when it came to the inventory I did not find what I was looking for. Sad face.

My search continued, until, I was scanning Etsy the other day and came across seller Crafty Japan. Cha Ching! They have every solid, print, pattern, shape, & size I am looking for! You must check out their unique selection...washi tape for days.

Now it's on to the wall layout....

Ooh Jeez, that is a whole other blog post people. :)

Mamas & Papas -How to-

How to Buy Your First Pushchair

 The period before your firstborn’s arrival is one of excitement, pressure and apprehension, and a lot of your time will be taken up preparing everything you need. One essential most mothers agree is incredibly important is a high quality pushchair. However, finding the right pushchair for you and your child can be incredibly difficult. To help you through the challenges ahead, we’ve compiled this concise guide to what to look for in a new pushchair.

 Which type?

There are numerous models available on the market, so picking out the design that best suits your needs can take a lot of research. However, there are a few basic things to look out for. Firstly, how many children will it need to carry? You can now purchase pushchairs that have space allowances for three children, so it’s well worth thinking ahead. Secondly, would you prefer a forward or rear-facing pushchair? This will mainly come down to personal preference and how you would like your child to travel. Finally, many pushchairs now have the ability to change from upright buggies to flat-lying prams, so consider whether this would be useful or not.

 Brand

Though brand isn’t the be all and end all when it comes to buying a pushchair, it can

make a difference. It’s often a better idea to go for an established brand that has a reputation for high quality design, production and safety standards. With this in mind, the Very.co.uk Mamas & Papas pushchair range will ensure you receive the quality you’ve paid for.

Lifestyle

One of the most important considerations to take into account when buying a pushchair is the kind of lifestyle you lead. This will have a large impact on the way in which you use your pushchair, and the obstacles it will have to overcome.

If you live in the city and find yourself using a lot of public transport, it’s going to be a much better idea to buy a lightweight pushchair that’s easy to lift. On the other hand, if you live in a more rural setting, you may want to consider a buggy that is more durable and built for countryside conditions. 

{BABY FEVER}

I am very content having my incredible, smart, spunky, outgoing, loving daughter, Kai Jordan. Yes, even though it changes from day to day, shockingly I could see myself only having one. 

My ideal family would include one girl and one boy. Unfortunately no one has figured out how to guarantee the sex of my next baby.... plus I will tell you a little secret {I'm not ready for baby #2}. 

That being said, moms who are on the verge of wanting another one, aka BABY FEVER! However, your not sure until your standing in the isle at Target and you hear a newborn baby cry and you catch yourself saying "Ahh, how cute?" 

Well for me it was not the crying newborn that did it for me, it was this AAAHDORABLE nursery I saw via Gilt Kids! 

I instantly wanted another one just so I could decorate the nursery.

FYI kids, DO NOT HAVE A BABY JUST SO YOU CAN DECORATE A NURSERY! Haha!

"Vintage Fashion on Wheels"

We have all heard of the gourmet food truck craze but the trucks don't stop there! 

Now there is events such as "Fashion Truck Rally" and Pop-up shops featuring shopping on wheels. 

My favorite is the sought after Traveling Vintage boutique,  "Le Fashion Truck". 

What's that you said? It's a shop, it's a truck, it's LA's 1st mobile vintage shop! 

Lunch time is getting better and better. Now you don't have to choose to eat or shop, you can run out to the food truck and do a little shopping while you wait for your order. Is this a dream or what?

Owners, Stacey Steffe and Jeanine Romo combined their love of vintage,  jewelry and their credo, (that has customers tailgating them weekly) 

"Vintage Fashion at Vintage Prices".

You can find them popping up at places like Co-Op 28 in Los Feliz, CA but if you happen to miss them, make sure to check Le Fashion Truck's website for the next stop.
