Say goodbye to scratched and chipped nail polish forever!! These super chic nail shields can be applied in as little as 15 minutes with no drying time required.  One of my favorite things about these shields is that they can last up to 6-8 weeks on your toes.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jamberrynails.com/"&gt;Jamberry Nail Shields&lt;/a&gt; are a solid film covering that can be applied  directly to the nail to acheive a look not found anywhere else.  This  special material is both pressure and heat activated to create a water  tight bond to your nail. The film is finished with a high gloss  protective layer that prevents your nail shield from chipping or  scuffing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;b&gt;Tip: &lt;/b&gt; Press and heat the nail shield at the base of your nail first.  Then slowly stretch and press the shield over the rest of the nail while heating with a blow dryer.  Once fitted to your nail just trim off the excess with some nail clippers or beauty scissors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FTOc9TZZyBo/ThuyKLSL7yI/AAAAAAAABA0/gyVWHTA1Kvg/s1600/nail%2Bshield.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 135px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FTOc9TZZyBo/ThuyKLSL7yI/AAAAAAAABA0/gyVWHTA1Kvg/s320/nail%2Bshield.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628288047227072290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I picked the Alice Blue Polka nail shield to test out.

Place the ice cream balls onto a cookie sheet and freeze 1 hr until firm (you can skip this step if your ice cream is alredy firm).  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Combine cinnamon and sugar until mixed well.  Remove the ice cream balls from the freezer and roll the balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture...until the ice cream balls are completely coated.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After rolling the ice cream balls int the cinnamon and sugar mixture roll the balls into the crumbled cornflakes.  Packing the cornflakes around the ball until it is completely covered.  Put back in the freezer at least 1 hr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use tongs and quickly dip the ice cream balls into the hot oil and quickly remove them.  (Make sure that the entire ice cream ball gets covered with oil). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Serve immediately. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Optional: Flour tortilla bowls.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a flour tortilla (we like to get the uncooked kind) and push the center down with a ladle spoon into your Fry Daddy (deep fryer) and hold it until it turns slightly brown.  This will form it into a bowl shape.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Serve the fried ice cream in the tortilla bowls and for the topping drizzle honey, whip cream and of course a cherry on top.

I have been so bored with my hair style but not ready to make any drastic changes.  I love how Feather Hair Extensions are a fun way to add  style and texture to your hair in a matter of minutes; but in a non-commitment kind of way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The feather hair extensions are applied somewhat like real hair extensions.  They are removable and reusable.  You can treat the feather extensions just like your normal hair.  Feather hair  extensions can be brushed, straightened, blow dried, and even curled.  You can get them done at most salons or you can buy the easy to do yourself kits, from Etsy or other sites online.  One of my favorite sites is &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/zeezoes"&gt;Zeezoes on ETSY.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zTodmJNan0/TbnX9O2hvYI/AAAAAAAAA_4/Ztl22_3leCQ/s1600/feather%2Bextensions%2Bpet.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zTodmJNan0/TbnX9O2hvYI/AAAAAAAAA_4/Ztl22_3leCQ/s320/feather%2Bextensions%2Bpet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600745058570714498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2240315369198267651-6631168952075332143?l=www.gettogetherideas.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.gettogetherideas.com/2011/04/feather-hair-extensions.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Get N Together)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QfngjFDXIbo/TbnUa67sBwI/AAAAAAAAA_w/W2bDm1n4Cus/s72-c/feather%2Bhair%2Bextensions.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240315369198267651.post-6919287903988045825</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-04-21T16:01:21.733-06:00</atom:updated><title>Revolutionizing What We Eat</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18BLufe6ZMU/TbCklbr2h_I/AAAAAAAAA_Q/m1hJi4Ol9io/s320/lunch%2Bbox.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598155299815327730" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to add more healthy to your life?  I love an enjoy good food!  I am taking a stand and I am trying to serve my family only healthy nutritious food.  I am trying to serve as much food from scratch and to stay away from easily prepared processed foods and sugars.  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;I watched Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution last week and I was astonished and quite frankly disgusted with what types of food's are kids are eating at school.  Often times they are not even given one nutritious option.  And if they are it is usually what ends up in the trash.  I was quite oblivious to what my 2nd grader was eating in his school lunch.  He told me the other day that he eats a corn dog just about everyday with a chocolate milk.  Eeeww, gross!  I can't even believe it that he has the option to eat this every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SfMyBzTguCk/TbCnjcMAipI/AAAAAAAAA_g/7WF7o3FUBNs/s1600/ship%2Bsandwich.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SfMyBzTguCk/TbCnjcMAipI/AAAAAAAAA_g/7WF7o3FUBNs/s320/ship%2Bsandwich.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598158564125346450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I came upon a blog called &lt;a href="http://thislunchrox.com/"&gt;This Lunch Rox&lt;/a&gt; and just loved it so much I have to share.

Start with the sides and the front and back of the house.  You may want some props to help hold the pieces up and together while the frosting is drying (I used Mason jars).  Once these pieces have dried then add the roof.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Decorate once dried.

A progressive dinner is a great way to throw a dinner party.  It's great for those who may be slightly intimidated by the thought of throwing a dinner party on their own.   This way your friends and family join in on the planning and in on the responsibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;A progressive dinner is when multiple homes host a dinner party together.  It involves guests going from home to home, enjoying a different course of the meal at each home.  All members of the dinner party meet at a different home for each course....one home for appetizers/drinks then they will move on to another for a salad, main dish, dessert, and if you want entertainment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;You will need 3-5 people to commit to hosting one course of the evenings meal.  You will want to coordinate with friends, family or neighbors as to which house will serve which course.   You can also make it a themed dinner party (Mexican, Italian, Oriental, etc...).   If you choose to have a themed party you would want all courses of the meal to match the desired theme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: georgia;font-size:130%;" &gt;Tips:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Set your table prior to leaving your home for the first course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The closer the participants live to one another, the better for minimizing travel time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2240315369198267651-530503242816758681?l=www.gettogetherideas.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.gettogetherideas.com/2010/12/how-to-throw-progressive-dinner.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Get N Together)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TPwtxdfMikI/AAAAAAAAA-g/c2vm2HB5f_c/s72-c/Dinner%2Bthemed%2Bparty%2Bpic.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240315369198267651.post-7656164006966043322</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-06T16:03:00.400-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Dessert Recipes</category><title>Russian Cream Cake Recipe</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TPwa36y7tFI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/pA-z9ILNEl4/s1600/DSC06838.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TPwa36y7tFI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/pA-z9ILNEl4/s320/DSC06838.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547338388991620178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Ingredients:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;White cake mix...prepared as directed on box&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;3 Cups sour cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1 &amp;amp; 1/2 cups powdered sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;1 &amp;amp; 1/2 Tbsp.

Make sure to wrap the rubber band around several times to make sure it is nice and tight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prepare the fabric dye according to directions on package.

Close one hand  around the base of the tee-pee and then tie it off with a rubber band...make sure to wrap the rubber bands around tight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many Small Circles&lt;/b&gt;: For lots of small circles, pinch  up fabric about 2-3”, insert a large marble (or Styrofoam ball) and tie  it off with a thick rubber band or string so that the marble is secure.&lt;a href="http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/pumpkin-shirt-674600/"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TK90opzyRyI/AAAAAAAAA8k/2Oo8Y5m5xFw/s320/pumpkin+tye+dye+tshirts.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525763509573535522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2240315369198267651-4686420848034701308?l=www.gettogetherideas.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.gettogetherideas.com/2010/10/pumkin-tye-dye-shirts.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Get N Together)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TKutXlpbu1I/AAAAAAAAA8M/3IdjrnTM_QI/s72-c/DSC02677.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240315369198267651.post-1189742988591532060</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-06T14:50:10.583-06:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Free Giveaways</category><title>A Modern Philosophy Jewelry Giveaway</title><description>&lt;a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TKpkOY1CtrI/AAAAAAAAA70/CsMZ1enly0g/s1600/a+modern+philosophy+shop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1cwMmLYmXU/TKpkOY1CtrI/AAAAAAAAA70/CsMZ1enly0g/s320/a+modern+philosophy+shop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524338091269207730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I have had my eye on a leather wrap bracelet...which are popular for both men and women because of their organic earthy look.
