Thursday Wedding Tip #40

Happy Thursday!!!

Hopefully your week has been going as good as mine. Last week's wedding tip was on picking out your wedding cake, but now what about the music. Yup, you will need to decide on what song you want to be played while you are cutting your cake. I know, there is a song for everything- it can drive you crazy.

I went through and found my top 3 songs and included the lyrics as well for you to see:

#1 Sugar, Sugar
 By: The Archies
 
 Sugar, ah honey honey
 You are my candy girl
 And you've got me wanting you.
 Honey, ah sugar sugar
 You are my candy girl
 And you've got me wanting you.
 I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
 I just can't believe the one to love this feeling to.
(I just can't believe it's true)
 Ah sugar, ah honey honey 
 You are my candy girl
 And you've got me wanting you.
 Ah honey, ah sugar sugar
 You are my candy girl
 And you've got me wanting you.
 When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
 Like the summer sunshine pour your sweetness over me
(Pour your sweetness over me)
 Sugar, pour a little sugar on it honey,
 Pour a little sugar on it baby
 I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
 Pour a little sugar on it oh yeah
 Pour a little sugar on it honey,
 Pour a little sugar on it baby
 I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah
 Pour a little sugar on it honey,
 Ah sugar, ah honey honey
 You are my candy girl
 And you've got me wanting you.
 Oh honey, honey, sugar sugar ..
 You are my candy girl ..

#2 How Sweet It Is
By: James Taylor

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone’s arms, and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I’d been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there’s you and there ain’t nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set

Amazon has a great deal on this Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set. It usually sells for $400, and is on sale for $108.

If you are looking for a wedding gift- you can purchase this for another couple or just get it for yourself. Having a nice quality set of cookware is VERY important. I have seen this set on sale for around $200, but nothing close to $108. Get all the details and order here on Amazon.com. Enjoy!

Thursday Wedding Tip #39

This week's wedding tip is on narrowing down you wedding cake search. Here are a bunch of cakes from weddingchannel.com. All of them have different features that you will love and you don't even know the flavor yet.








The best thing to do is decide on your style. Then bring your ideas to your local bakery or cake maker. The Country Club I got married at had their own bakery staff and they used all my ideas to make my dream cake. Most cake makers will love a challenge. I heard from my bakery that they like new designs. They don't want to make the same cake every week. Be creative.


Now that you are all starving, go out for a nice dessert treat with your fiancee tonight and talk CAKE!!

It has been a VERY LONG time since I saw the Wizard of Oz, but I caught right on. The performance and the actors were wonderful- what a fantastic musical. Check out to see the tour schedule here. Since I was not allowed to take pictures- check out the photo gallery here. I still want to know how Elphaba stays green throughout the entire show. Enjoy!

Castle Baths Spa Products Review and Giveaway

Castle Baths Spa Products is a great site for all your spa product needs. Castle Baths specializes in creating natural organic spa products for skin and bath with therapeutic aromatherapy and botany ingredients. All bath and body products are made to order. Castle Baths is an eco-friendly business and they are here to help save our environment. They use natural ingredients and purchase product ingredients from other eco-friendly businesses as well. Castle Baths has everything from spa soaps, bath salts, body wash and even bath teas just to name a few.

Castle Baths sent me a treasure chest spa gift basket that had foot scrub candies and a yellow rose soap. First off the presentation of the spa products are so unique. My husband thought it was real candy =)

The foot scrub candies soften and exfoliate your heels. Rub the "candy" over your heel and then drop the rest of the candy into a warm foot bath. I used one spearmint candy for both feet and then let them soak for about 10 minutes. I used them right before bed to let my feet absorb the oils while I slept. I usually have to go to get a pedicure for my feet to feel this good. I wear sandals most days, and my heels get rough constantly. The next day my heels were still super smooth and I felt more relaxed. The rose soap bar was also great and I felt very refreshed. I just adore spa products and it is so nice to get pampered in your own home.

These great spa and bath products would make wonderful bridesmaid gifts as well as ways to pamper the bride before the wedding. The yellow rose soaps come in packs of a dozen. Yellow roses are for friendship and who doesn't love adorable great smelling soaps. I also think these bath soaps would be great gifts to give out at your bridal shower to thank everyone. Additional colors are available upon request. Remember made to order!!


Now for the best part, Castle Baths is offering one of my lucky readers a treasure chest spa gift basket. The gift you receive will be based on your comment on which product you like best.

How to Win: Look around Castle Baths Spa Products and leave a comment letting me know your favorite product. Remember the spa gift basket you win will be based on your choice.

Kmart Double Coupons 4/4- 4/10

Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news of course is that Kmart is having another DOUBLE COUPON DAYS in April. The bad news is the rules are a little different now.

New terms on doubling:

Manufacturer Coupons up to $2
Does not include Kmart Store Coupons
Does not include Kmart Pharmacy Store Coupons
Limit 5 total coupons per customer per day
The first 5 coupons provided by customer will be doubled

In the past my local store did not enforce the coupon limit- it used to be a limit of 10 coupons per customer, per day. Five coupons is nothing to write home about except if you live practically next door to a store, then it might be worth it. I'll post once I get more details, as I hear a rewards card might be involved to track your 5 coupons. Check out to see the list of all stores participating here..Have a wonderful weekend...Enjoy!

Thursday's Wedding Tip #38

I was so happy to see Jessica emailed me with a wedding question this week. Her question is "Do you have honeymoon location suggestions for our January wedding next year". I certainly do have some ideas and what a great question.

Wedding tip #38- How to pick out the best honeymoon location for your wedding month.

Winter : (December -March)

-A romantic ski resort
-Caribbean and the Bahamas

A ski resort would be very romantic and think about sitting next to a fireplace all night long with your new husband. I had friends who went to Vail for their honeymoon in February and loved every minute of it. Of course if you are not a fan of the cold, you can always head to the Caribbean or the Bahamas. You can find a nice hotel down south or take a romantic cruise. I suggest a 7-10 night cruise for full relaxation.

Spring: (March- May)

-Hawaii
-Mexico
-Costa Rica


Hawaii is always a top honeymoon destination. If you are from the west coast it is not to far of a trip, but for me in Florida, I did not want to take extra time away from work for all the travel time. There are great resorts in Mexico for all your honeymoon needs if you want to sit back and relax. Head to Costa Rica for beautiful beaches and spectacular rainforests if you are looking for more adventure.


Summer: (June-August)

-Bermuda

Bermuda is a gorgeous location for your first days as husband and wife. Car rentals are not used, so mopeds are the preferred form of transportation. There are cute cottages for you to rent for the week.


Fall: (September- November)

-Las Vegas
-Aruba

Aruba is usually out of the hurricane zone so if you are looking for warm weather- Aruba is the spot. Vegas is a top choice of mine and many of my friends have honeymooned their. It is great for young couples(21+).


*The most important thing to remember when planning is hurricane season, which runs June to November.

P.S.- I finally got a picture for my Thursday Wedding Tips- took me 38 weeks(lol)!! I would love to know what you think. It was hard to choose the perfect picture, but since my weekly tips are for walking down the aisle, I though this was the most appropriate. Enjoy!

Jewelry Stylist Review and Giveaway Reminder

Last week I had the pleasure of reviewing this Fun and Flirty White Pearl 60" Necklace with Ribbon.

This week I reviewed the Black Crystal Octagons on Antique Silver Y - Necklace and earrings.


This set is GORGEOUS. You can even see how it sparkles in the picture above.

This set has the Antique silver octagons with black channel set Austrian crystals with a black crystal in the center. Octagons are strung on a Y- Necklace with alternating diamond shaped crystals on antique silver with 2" drop.

I wore this necklace and earring set with a nice black shirt over the weekend and it looked great. The length of the necklace is adjustable, so you may customize the necklace to your outfit.
