Superbowl Party Food

Last weekend, my hubby & I had a small party for the NFL Championship games and we are excited that the Giants made the Superbowl.  We are looking forward to watching the superbowl at a friend’s house and eat a ton of munchies, drink some good beer, and just enjoy the game.  Here a few inspirations for your Superbowl parties.

Cosmetic Dupes

Keeping up with designer clothing and makeup can be exhausting… and expensive!  So it’s fun to know some thrify secrets of items that we can get away with that are close to the real thing when we cannot afford it!  Here are some recent purchases of mine that I have been happy with.

For Christmas, my bff, the makeup lover, got me a ton of makeup and some of it included ELF brand from Target.  The Classy ELF lipstick she gave me is gorgeous.  It is one of the best “deal” makeups I have ever tried.

Valentine ♥

My favorite part of Valentine’s Day as a kid was passing out unique card to my classmates and waiting for special V-day cards from my peers.  My little Valentines always had my favorite cartoons like Strawberry Shortcake, Smurfs, or Ninja Turtles- yes I was kind of a big deal! 🙂

We are never too old to pass out Valentine’s but a treat will get you much further.  Bring something special into the office or to your friend’s place and celebrate the cheesy holiday!
