Birthday Ideas for Tots

We are excited about our birthday gift suggestions for little tots!  We love things that inspire those little minds full of fun and creativity. Read on for great ideas for children between the ages of 2 and 6.

The Art Master Activity Desk by Step 2 ($79.99) is perfect for preschoolers and kindergartners.  This desk adds fun to learning and encourages creativity. Our tots have had such a blast writing numbers and letters on the dry erase board, and are able to store all their art tools in one place (not to mention all the activity and coloring books).

The Bitty Baby ($45) by American Girl comes in 5 different skin tones, hair colors and eye colors.  There are not only additional outfits you can purchase for the doll, there are coordinating outfits that range in size from 3 to 7.

The Home & Garden Playhouse ($159.99) by Little Tikes makes a nice addition to any little one's play area.  The playhouse is small enough that it can even be kept indoors without taking up too much space.  The playhouse includes a work area and tools, a sand and water planting area, and a little kitchen area.

The Picnic Table & Umbrella ($89.99), also by Little Tikes has seating that can hold 4 to 6 children comfortably.  The umbrella is a great add-on to help shade your little one's from the sun and keep them cool.  The picnic table folds up quickly and compactly for easy storage when not in use.

We would also like to mention that Little Tikes is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year!!  Little Tikes has been making top quality toys since 1970.  Little Tikes should be proud of their achievement, being one of the top multi-national toy makers!

Bobbi Brown Introduces a New Foundation for Combo/Oily Skin

Foundation Meltdown?

Give Us 5 Minutes. We’ll Make it Last All Day.

“This oil-free formula give skin a soft-matte finish that looks healthy and natural—never heavy. And it’s buildable, so you can customize your level of coverage.”

-- Bobbi Brown

This oil-free, long-wearing foundation balances oil and combination skin, so you’ll have a soft-matte, even-looking complexion without needing to pile on powder throughout the day. Sponge-like powders absorbs excess oil on the surface of the skin, while emollients lock in moisture to ensure skin stays perfectly balanced. The transfer-resistant formula helps create a barrier against heat and humidity for 8 hours of wear so that even in the most humid climates, makeup stays in place. In addition to a range of 20 yellow-based shades, this formula contains an oil-free emulsion system that delivers a blend of finely milled pigments, spherical powders, and mica for natural-looking coverage.

About Boujie Baby Couture

Suzanne Kopulos is the baby bag brainchild behind Boujie Baby Couture. The brand’s birth materialized by news of a pregnant sister and best friend due weeks apart.  Suzanne scoured the aisles of posh boutiques for the perfect accessory to her new nieces, the everyday diaper bag. She came up empty handed. Not a single bag represented the magnetic style that her closest friends’ possessed, so she took matters into her own hands and Boujie Baby Couture was born! 

Inspired by the birth of her vivacious niece Basilia, the Chicago native has successfully launched three fashionable collections of Handbags for Mothers including the Original Chic, Street Chic, and current Prima available in fine boutiques nationwide. These fashionable and practical bags are a hit with a long list of Tinseltown regulars, including Constance Zimmer, Chyler Leigh, Joely Fisher, Denise Richards, Mariska Hargitay, Salli Richardson, Brooke Mueller, Victoria Recano, Madison Michelle, and Ali Landry.  Boujie Baby has quickly become the it brand on the lips of fashionable women everywhere.   

A self-taught designer, Suzanne earned her degree in Marketing and International Business from the University of Kentucky, Lexington, followed by a Juris Doctorate from St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida.  Studying in her backyard of Miami Beach, Suzanne developed the creative ideas behind the brand. Upon returning to her hometown Chicago, she opted to leave her legal pad in the drawer and follow her passion for fashion. Boujie Baby Couture has been featured on MSNBC’s The Big Idea, TV Guide Network’s The Fashion Team, ABC and NBC fashion segments, AlphaMom TV, Celebrity Baby Blog, Chicago Social Magazine, Cool Mom Picks, Daily Candy Kids, Time Out Chicago, as well as Lucky Magazine. 

The Look of Tibi Fall 2010 . . . As seen at Fashion Week

"The Tibi woman for Fall 2010 is always pretty, but doesn't know it, and didn't try to be. She's a youthful woman with round, soft features, but dramatic eyes. She is disheveled, yet elegant all at the same time..."

-Wendy Rowe for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

Unaware of the beauty she possesses, the Tibi woman always exudes disheveled elegance in the most unintentional, yet glamorous way. A fresh, dewy face provides the perfect canvas for showcasing a 60s-inspired “cat eye” with winged liner and dramatically defined lashes. A bit of pink blush on the cheek and a nude lip polish off this soft, youthful look that marries pretty with powerful.

Skin: Hydrating Face Cream ($50), Hydrating Eye Cream ($45), Skin Foundation ($45), Tinted Eye Brightener ($38)

Eyes: Heather Long-Wear Cream Shadow ($22) and Slate Long-Wear Cream Shadow ($22) on lower-lid, Blonde Eye Shadow ($20) in crease, Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink ($22), Perfectly Defined Mascara ($22)

Cheeks: Powder Pink Pot Rouge ($22), Opal Face Highlighter (Fall ’10, Denim and Rose $32)

Lips: Beige Lip Color ($22 each)

Brows: Brow Pencil ($20)
