Organize your jewelry collection and other accessories!


I'm the kind of person who loves organizing anything I can, and I like doing it in a way that is functional but also appealing to the eye. I'd been looking for a large wall mountable jewelry organizer, but just couldn't find anything with enough capacity to hold all my pieces, so I decided to check out ebay, and came across this wonderful seller that makes custom jewelry organizers. Link here:
Jewelry Organizer

I got mine for a pretty decent price considering how much it can hold, which was a total of $62.94 - shipping included. It may seem pricey, but I thought it was well worth the investment. Jewelry organizers in stores, from table top pieces all the way to stand alone dressers can cost anywhere between $30-$100+

This one can be mounted on the wall with the provided screws, or over the door (which I found much easier), so I like that it has 2 options. It can hold up to 300 pieces of jewelry and more.

The specifics from the ebay auction:

10 top hooks for approximately 50 rings or favorite pieces.

Earring rack can hold over 75 pairs of earrings.

12 Bracelet hooks can hold over 75 bracelets, watches, etc.

16 necklace hooks can hold over 100 necklaces.

Product Features:

• Width: 20.5" • Height: 29.6" • depth: 3.6" color white

• Displays your jewelry so you can see all your jewelry
in one glance.

• Provides easy accessibility to earrings, bracelets, watches, ankle bracelets, rings, pins and necklaces.

• Constructed of heavy duty, powder coated steel.

• Easy assembly required.

• Hangs on a bedroom wall, over any door, inside a closet or even behind your clothes using included brackets.

• Package contains the two (2) piece organizer unit, four (4) wall mounts, two (2) over-the-door bracket mounts for hanging including screws and anchors and a removable plastic tray for extra storage. Can be used for hair accessories, keys and glasses.



Anyways, if you've been looking for a great way to display your jewelry but also want it stored in an organized manner, this would be a great option for you. I've already started hanging my jewelry on it, and so far, no complaints! I'm as happy as can be, and am so satisfied that I may even buy these as gifts for friends :)

Update: Back from blogging hiatus!

First of all, sorry for the long blogging hiatus guys! I didn't mean to be gone for so long, but I was still healing up from my surgery from this summer, and then school started, and I returned to work and its like, reality kicked in, and not much spare time was left for blogging. Good news is that I'm back now, so yay for that! My first set of tests just finished up, so schools finally slowing down a bit, up until the next round of exams, yuck! lol, and I have a good routine down with work now too. I also get to see my fiance every other weekend if not every weekend now that he's back in the states, which I'm happy about because we'd have to wait 3-4 months at a time before to see each other, and it'd only last a week, which was depressing! If any of you are subscribed to Derek's blog or his youtube channel (RapidFireMeals) he's been kind of absent from the net too because he's spending all his time having to study for a board exam he has to take before getting into his clinicals in January!

So thats pretty much all that has been going on for me...I really do miss blogging and being on online social networks such as facebook, and twitter and such, but I do feel like I'm so much more productive when I'm not wasting time on the computer lol. Trust me though, its such a hard habbit to break! I love spending time on the internet.

Anyways this semester in school, I'm really feeling the pressure since I'm having to take 15 hrs of all these hard business classes, uhhhh...lol. I'm taking accounting, macroeconomics, communication studies for business professionals, u.s history II, and the WORST math ever! business freaking calculus! lol. I swear if I didn't have the help of my online friend, Francine (youtube: kuuipo1207) and my fiance, I'd have dropped this class the first day. It's such a hard class, I've seriously never felt dumber in a college class before lol.

Other than that, I plan to start blogging on the weekends and getting back into the swing of things. Feel free to follow me on twitter to keep up with things going on in my life that I don't necessarily make posts on here about! Twitter: gummibalu

I hope all is well with you guys! And if you guys could please keep my cat in your prayers, I'd really appreciate it, since he got a urinary infection today and had bladder blockage and needed to have catherization done and got hospitalized - not to mention the vet bill was an unpleasant $500, yikes! I'm just glad my mom and brother pitched in, after all it is our family cat. But yea, so if you guys could just pray for his speedy recovery, it would mean a lot! He really is my favorite pet ever and means the world to me :)

Hope you all have a great week, and look forward to regular blog posts again!
P.S - I'll continue to host the $10 mac gift card contest for the most comment entries by a reader every month, starting back up again now - so now we're on the month of september! Winner for the sept month will be announced on, Oct 1 2009 :)! Remember this will be an on going contest till december, with 1 winner with the most amount of comment entries chosen every month. Goodluck!

A little insight into my relationship and future wedding :)

My fiance proposed to me last may with a ring pop, yes a ring pop (which I saved in a ziplock, and it's prob rotting or even a fossil by now? lmao), haha he said he couldn't wait any longer to ask me and that this was the best he could do at the time lol. Its been a year since, and we're still waiting to get my actual ring but when we do, he wants to repropose to me when I least expect it, with a full on romantic setting, and all so I'm super excited!!

He really is the love of my life, look how cute he is haha :)

We've already picked out the ring together, check it out ladies haha. Its a gorgeous Verragio ring. It'll definitely be worth the wait :DD eeep I'm so excited to have bling like that on my finger haha.


Even though, I havent gotten my ring yet, I already have the dress! Lol a bit backwards? yea, I guess so, but when I laid my eyes on it, I had to get it!! Its made by the designer, Simone Carvalli. Only problem is, this gorgeous piece is a size 4, and I'm not so much a size 4 anymore? lol...You see I used to live in New York, where one has to walk everywhere!! And ever since I've moved to louisiana to be closer to family, and especially to help my mom take care of my ill father, I've gotten accustomed to eating southern comfort foods, and driving everywhere. The lack of exercise combined with the high fatty, fried foods has done my body wrong lol, hence me being on the south beach diet these days.


My goal is to lose 30 pounds. South beach is going great for me so far, in 2 weeks I have lost 9 lbs, which is amazing for me because I've done it without any exercise. I really wish I could workout because that would rev up the process of losing weight and toning up even more, but since I had surgery earlier this summer, my bodys still not ready for cardio or any type of weight training.

That all being said...my goals are to be a beautiful, healthy, radiant bride when our wedding day comes, which is going to be MAY 1, 2010 :)!!! I can't wait. I hope to slim down with this diet, and be back to my normal weight before the wedding, and fit in that dress again! lol.

We've also looked at wedding bands for Derek, and this is the one we've liked best so far, but undecided on if its "the one" lol:


I know, next may is almost a year away, but when planning weddings, time flys, and it always seems like theres so much to do and such little time. I'll most likely make another post with full on details about the bridesmaid dressed, flower arrangements, what cake we decide on, invitations, table settings, etc later on in the year, if you guys would be interested to read about that :)

Anyways, hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)!

IMPORTANT INFO IF YOURE A FOLLOWER - MAC GIFT CARDS!


Hey Guys! I've decided to do giveaways in a new manner for my blog, which will include mac gift cards! What girl doesn't love a mac gift card, right? Well here's how the giveaways will work:

In order to qualify for the giveaway, all you have to do is comment on my blog aka any post during the 1st of the month through the last day of that month (like the 30th, 31st, which ever date the month would end). And you must be a follower of my blog!

This will be an on going contest, year around! For example, if you post a comment on any of my posts by the 31st of july, you will be counted in for the july giveaway, if you post a comment on any of my posts after that, like on the 1st of august, you will be counted towards the august giveaway; pretty simple right?

Heres how drawings and prizes will work: At the end of the month, I will tally up and make a chart of everyone who commented on my blog and how many times they did, the person who commented the most will win a $10 giftcard to mac cosmetics!!! Also, you may comment on my posts as many times as you want, you are also not limited to 1 comment per post, but please do not spam either. THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO ALL, INTERNATIONAL READERS!

And thats all :) I will be keeping a scoreboard of who and how many times you guys are commenting, and post a report card of it half way through the month so you can see where you stand.

I hope this will be a more interactive way of participating in giveaways and it will help me get more comments/feedback on my posts as well, which I'm excited about! :)

Also in the event of a tie, if two or three commenters have the same amount of comment entries on my blog, I will do a random draw for the winner.

If you have any questions or are confused about anything, please leave a comment on here and i will reply back on here as soon as i can!

P.S- The first giveaway winner will be announced on Aug 1, 2009 and even though I didnt start the contest exactly on July, 1 2009, I'll still be counting the month of july's comments towards the giveaway. As of right now Catherine is in the lead for this month!

Goodluck and start commenting!! lol =)

Rapid Fire Meals, My bf's new youtube channel!!






Hey guys, if any of you are interested in learning how to cook or are already a pro at and need ideas for recipes, check out my boyfriend's new youtube cooking channel: http://www.youtube.com/rapidfiremeals and his blog, where he will be posting food pics and recipes: http://aburstofflavor.blogspot.com/

He's currently in med school and super busy and studying basically consumes his life, but he always finds time to make a fantastic meal for himself, haha kinda puts me to shame when i make excuses of how i don't have time to cook, when my schedule is nearly not as full as his.

Anyways, it would mean so much to me if you ladies could rate, comment, and subscribe to his channel! He seriously makes delicious food and is pretty easy on the eyes as well haha so it can't hurt to watch his vids!

Thats all for now, hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

What to eat on the south beach diet?

I've been doing the south beach diet for 5 days now, not even a whole week, and I've already lost 3lbs which is very exciting for me and yes I know you should wait a whole week to weigh in, but I couldnt help it!! lol, anyways I can't wait to weigh in on monday morning and see my total weight loss for the week. A bunch of my readers showed interest in learning more about this diet, recipes, and my weight loss journey, so heres another health and fitness related post for you guys.

First of all some tips for being on this diet:

-Try to drink at least 64-100 oz of water a day
-Use only low fat and fat free cheese
-Use only sugar substitute such an splenda
-Replace sandwich bread with lettuce aka lettuce wraps
-Use seasonings, spices, and herbs to your advantage. If your food is flavorful, you wont feel deprived.
-Use only lean cuts of meat, avoid fatty meats!
-Buy lots of part skim ricotta cheese, almost every dessert in phase 1 uses it
-Eat nuts, they are a "good fat" and a great snack option
-Buy a bunch of sugar free jello, its only 10 calories, and sugar free pudding is usually no more than 70 calories- these are great snacks and quick dessert options
-Buy ziplock steam bags, these steam up your veggies super fast, and you can even use these for your fish.

So what do you eat on the south beach diet? Well here are some recipes I've adapted from the South Beach Supercharged book, and some that I've created my own - making sure to only use the foods that are allowed on the diet.

Breakfast:


Salads:


Snacks:

Turkey:


Shrimp:

Chicken:


Sides: My friend Jillian told me about these, they are delicious!


Beef:


Dessert:


So I hope some of those dishes gave you ideas on how to eat on the south beach diet, especially during phase 1 when no refined carbs and fruit is allowed or even just how to start eating healthy all together. I also wanted to show you guys how sweet my fiance is!!! I have yet to return to work since my surgery, and had no money to start the diet, but thanks to him I could...he was so generous and gave me $300 so I could stock up on groceries and some gadgets and utensils that I needed for the kitchen. It's very important to have good tools to work with, in any field of work...for example, a really good non stick skillet is very important because it will help cook your food without the need of excess oil to keep the food from burning or sticking to the pan ;) And he's been very encouraging and supportive through this whole diet process thing and in no way does he need to lose weight, but he's decided to do it with me so I don't feel like I'm doing it all alone. I love that I have someone like him in my life, he is the best support system I have no matter what I'm doing in life. So you see ladies, good men are out there, don't settle for anything less than your perfect man, I'm glad I didnt! :)

He tried some of the same recipes as me, look at all this yummy healthy food!!




Thats all for now, let me know if you'd like an updated post on monday with my weight loss results :) I hope all of you have a safe and happy 4th of july!

Fing'rs Nails Review & GIVEAWAY !!!


Fingrs Glue on Nails - Hardcore Nail Designs for the Rocker Chick in you!

I recently bought some Fingrs nails in a polka dot design (#31194) and absolutely fell in love with them. They were so cute, so easy to apply - whether using the stick on tab method or the nail glue, and most of all cheap cheap cheap and awesome quality. They lasted me about 2 weeks, and if one ever did pop off, I had the glue with me to do a quick touch up, and my nail was back to looking it's cutesy self. I'm a firm believer in the fact that acrylic nails are very unhealthy for your real nail beds and that they make your nails very weak and brittle, they also cost a lot of money to upkeep and maintain, and as a college student and beauty junkie, I like to keep myself on a budget and stretch my dollars as much as I can! So glue on nails were the perfect option for me, especially now that companys are making them so well, and often in an assortment of designs as well.

I was fortunate enough to be able to try a bunch of different designs from Fing'rs, and I must say, I am very pleased with each and everyone of the pairs I've received. The Fing'rs "EDGE - Hardcore" line is one that really appeals to me; it has designs such as polka dots, skulls, plaid, houndstooth and even cool decals for your nails that are very edgy and fun!

These nails retail for about $5.99 at drugstores such as Rite-Aid and CVS, and you can even get these at your local Wal Mart. The decals are usually no more than $4 and you get about 350 of them in a pack!! Both the nail art stickers and the nails come in a variety of designs, colors, sizes, and are usually in a pack of 24 so you have plenty of sizes to chose from and find one that fits your nail. These have become a new favorite of mine and a much better alternative to paying salon prices for manicures, so check them out at your local stores.






That being said...as a special treat for my lovely readers, Fingrs was kind enough to sponsor my next giveaway, so here it is!! 3 lucky followers who enter this giveaway will receive one glue on nail pack or nail decal pack of their choice. All you have to do is comment on this post saying "enter me" and why you'd like to try these nails. This contest is international and open to all my readers!
Deadline is next friday, July 10 2009 at midnight est time!
GOODLUCK :))

South Beach Diet - Day 1 :)


I've decided that I want to get back into shape, especially into all my nice designer clothes and in order to do so, I have to lose weight and tone up. I was looking online for diet and fitness books, and came across many different ones, like the Mediterranean diet, Atkins, Fat Smash, Bob Greene's Best Life Diet, etc, but the one that spoke to me was the South Beach diet. It seemed like the best diet for me, well balanced, theres a variety of foods i can enjoy on it, its broken down in 3 phases, and though it starts out with no refined carbs and sugars, it later introduces them into the diet, so your body gets used to eating all types of food in moderation and once you come off the diet, its not like youve cut out certain foods completely so when you eat them again, you'll gain a bunch of weight (this is typical of many fad diets!) I did a lot of research before deciding to start this diet, and found that the overall consensus with this diet is that it is unlike any other fad diets on the market and once you lose the weight on it, you actually keep it off...well that is if you take the knowledge you've gained while on this diet and incorporate into your lifestyle and also change how you really look at food.

Now, I'll be honest..I've never done a "diet" in my life...attempted? yes, failed? yes, but never truly stuck with it and actually given it my all. I feel that now that I'm older and truly care about my body and health, I will be more disciplined in sticking with this diet and actually hope to complete all 3 phases with success. My goal is to lose 30 lbs by the time fall rolls around so cross your fingers for me and wish me the best of luck because I'll be needing it lol :)

I ordered my south beach diet books off of ebay because they were relatively cheaper on there than in stores and amazon.com. I checked booksamillion, barnes and noble, walmart, target, etc and everywhere had the books for about $16+ which is not something I'm willing to pay. I got the South Beach Diet book and the South Beach Diet cookbook, both gently used hardcovers for $9, shipping included! And I plan to order the South Beach Diet Supercharged and South Beach Diet Quick & Easy cookbook next :) So if you're interested in this diet or any other one, or even books in general, check out ebay and save yourself some money :)

My books haven't come in yet, but I didn't want to wait, so I went ahead and started the diet tonight. I researched online for foods you can and can't eat during phase 1, and basically just went off of that in order to prepare dinner. I also watched an online friend's videos, Natneagle who does the south beach diet and has been doing it since November of 08 and has managed to lose 70lbs !! I think thats incredible and I admire her dedication; she has done nothing but inspire and motivate me. Check out her south beach video below that explains phase 1 of the diet:



Also be sure to check out her other channel, "natychats" on youtube, she has 2 videos up on recipes from the south beach diet book that include "pecan crusted salmon" and "stuffed chicken with feta and sundried tomatoes" sounds totally yummy right?

Another great youtube channel to check out if your looking to get healthier, fitness tips, etc is "ThruThickNThin" - its about 7 girls who each have a certain day of the week to post a video and talk about their struggles and success with their weight loss journey, all actually happen to be online friends of mine and some of them are even popular makeup gurus on youtube: Joymeetsworld, xsparkage, vipkacie, juderivera, lilviolingirl, jennac0re, and jpmetz. Its a great channel to watch, so go subscribe NOW :)!

Anyways heres a picture of my first official south beach diet dinner:


If you guys like reading posts about diet and fitness, and about my journey through the different phases of the south beach diet, let me know and I'll continue to blog about my weight loss, healthy tips, info about this diet if you readers are interested in doing it, and pics and recipes of the food i prepare and consume while on the diet.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Man Hunt


Ok first of all, I have never laughed AT a makeup product before, but I totally did when these Urban Decay Pocket Rocket lipglosses came out lol. The idea behind them is that you have a different guy on each lip gloss, and when you go to use it, you twist the cap, and the guy on your lipgloss gets undressed down to his underoos...haha how perverted, seriously, but def makes a girl giggle. Well now Urban Decay is looking to create 2 new shades, so they are on a man hunt to find the next two perfect guys from their lipglosses, and are holding a contest.

How the contest works:

We are looking for TWO men to be featured on two new shades of Urban Decay’s Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss! Pick your favorite guy (boyfriend, husband, UPS Man… whoever) and upload a few photos to our contest site: www.urbandecayguys.com. Then, from June 15 – July 17, 2009, visitors to the site can vote for their favorite guy. (We’ll even give you links so you and the man you’ve nominated can spread the word.) After the close of voting on July 17, Urban Decay’s totally qualified, expert panel of sexed-up ladies (and a few gentlemen) will evaluate the 10 nominees with the most votes, and choose two winners.


Our winners will be flown to sunny Southern California, and photographed as the faces (er… bodies) of two new shades of Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss. (The person who nominates them gets to come to California, too! And there are fabulous prizes for both of you! And, just to be nice, we’ll even pick 3 runners up, who also get fabulous prizes. But no trip. Sorry, runners-up. You can’t have it all.)

Prizes:

Since we’re creating not one, but TWO new Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss shades, it only makes sense for us to pick TWO Grand Prize Winners! Both winners (AND the ladies or gentlemen who nominated them) will be flown to Southern California, where the winners will be dressed up, sexed-up, styled, and photographed by acclaimed photographer Scott Nathan. The resulting pix will be featured on two new Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss shades, set to launch in Spring 2010.
Both Winners (and the people who nominated them!) will get hooked up with:


- Roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for 2 nights in sunny So Cal
- $500 of Urban Decay Cosmetics (winner’s choice of products)
- $200 in gift cards at Urban Outfitters
- $200 in gift cards at Apple


THREE (3) Runners Up are also getting hooked up with
- $300 of Urban Decay Cosmetics (winner’s choice of products)
Please see our official contest rules for all the details. And by the way, if you’re some pro model that has a contract with an agency, this contest is not for you. (We’re sorry! We’re sure you’re really hot.) Our contest is for amateurs only, so grab some pictures of your favorite guy and start uploading!

Enter the contest here: http://urbandecayguys.com/register.asp

Are you going to register the hottest man in your life? lol, I just might, if my significant other gives me permission haha. Whadu ladies think? Should I enter him? You know you want to see him in his underooos on your rocket pocket, lol ;)

Twilight Fans: New Edward & Bella Barbie Dolls !

"Looking for a little Robert Pattinson in your life? Well, you'll soon have your chance.

MTV.com reports that Mattel will soon be selling a line of Twilight-inspired Barbie dolls, including an Edward Cullen "Ken" doll and a Bella Swan "Barbie" doll.

Twilight Dreamhouse presumably sold separately.

P.s have you seen the new makeover the new moon book got based on the movie?
