Our Little Mermaid  |  Kiki's List

A couple of weeks ago, our little Lou turned seven.  She wanted a mermaid party inspired by her last Halloween costume.  It was so much fun designing the details.

However, I had the brilliant idea of surprising the girls with goldfish thinking that they could double as centerpieces.  (I know, I am a maniac.)  I figured it was a great lesson in responsibility.  Much to my chagrin, my girls are far more responsible than I thought… I also learned that these goldfish can live up to 40 years.  Yowsa.Our Little Mermaid  |  Kiki's ListBut they love them.  Lou named hers Sparkles, and E named hers Lucky.Our Little Mermaid  |  Kiki's ListJust two more animals on this crazy farm… but back to the decorations…

Whether it’s being 38, lack of sleep or genetics (or a combination of the three) the dark circles under my eyes have really been bothering me as of late.  So, I did extensive research, tried out more than I can even imagine and have my round up of the best on the market.  Bye-Bye bags!

werk it guuurl.

model search  |  kiki's list.Okay, I don’t know how to post this without divulging too many details or sounding uber-creepy, but we have some REALLY exciting things going on here and are looking to you all to join in the fun!  We are having a photoshoot next month and I am on the hunt for a few models.  You don’t have to have any professional experience at all.  I am looking for women (local to the DC area) with a unique look and a sense of style.  If this is you, please email me at klnsalmon@yahoo.com (head shots included.)  This is an unpaid gig, but you will get to keep digital copies of all prints for your portfolio and there will be quite a few perks….. promise!
