{Giveaway is now closed. #41 is the lucky winner! It's Sujeiry! Congrats!} If you're a child from the 70's like I am, then you've seen the original show, Charlie's Angels with Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith with their beautiful layered hair and their style of kicking ass. I loved that show. Even as a little girl, I would pretend being one of the angels whenever I would watch it. Throwing high kicks with my skinny legs and landing on the sofa pretending I captured one of the bad guys. Yeah, I … [Read more...]

September 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment

I don't want to put him in our monthly plan because that would be too expensive and I don't want to commit to it for 2 years. Instead, we're looking into pre-paid plans. The plan that caught my eye was the Boost Mobile. It has everything a high school kid … [Read more...]
