Tickle Me Tuesday

Today's Tickle Me Tuesday will pretty much be one huge advertisement! Here is what's tickling my fancy today...

Robert Kelly... or as I know him... R.Kelly :)

Robert's new album [We Are Poetry] came out on iTunes today!! Robert was our entertainment for my senior EEE fall outing in 2009. He is one talented artist and you should definitely check him out!

Dude Perfect iPhone/iPad app

One of my very great friends (who just happens to be my best friend's fiancée) is part of Dude Perfect! That's actually the cartoon character of him on the app. If you've been living under a rock and don't know who Dude Perfect is or what it's all about, you can check them out here. But you should definitely purchase & rate this app! I promise it will be worth the 99 cents you spend on it :)

Aren't these some of the cutest cookies you've ever seen in your life? Alright, that be a little extreme. But let me tell you. A lady in Northwest Arkansas makes these precious cookies. You can check out her blog here. As cute as these cookies are, they taste just as good!! Most cookies that you see that are decorated so cute, they don't taste very good. This isn't the case with these cookies! My friend, Ana, had Robin make some cookies for her bachelorette party and I couldn't quit eating them! They were so delicious. And too cute!

I'm not sure if you noticed my super cute header....but if you were wondering how I made it, well... I didn't. But Madaline did! Madaline is one of my pretty cool co-workers. She is the grapic designer here at Rock Creek. I just figured I would give her all the cred she deserves :)

It's a Link-Up party! Join in on the fun and link back up to Sarah's blog.

What is tickling your fancy these days? Here are a few things that are tickling my fancy with a "spring" theme...

the month of March

Why? I'll give you a few reasons: my birthday {and both sibling's birthdays} is this month. {turning 23. weird.} I get to go to California {LA & Palm Springs} for a whole week. and it's the beginning of spring! {hopefully}

Steve Madden

sandals

I love shoes. But I reallyyyyy love sandals. {Steve Madden & Gianni Bini are my favorites} Although it's been a little too chilly to wear them, I got to wear some from last summer this past weekend and it was glorious. My toes haven't felt so much freedom since August!

dresses

Actually, pretty much just spring/summer dresses. Anything girly, floral, bright colored.. I just love dresses.

stud earrings

Since one of my jobs at work is to answer the phones, I can't really wear big, dangling earrings. Otherwise I would end up with a huge bruise on my left ear. Stud earrings are a girl's best friend. {especially if they are diamond} They give you that look of completion you are looking for. They add that extra touch. And they are perfect.

My current favorite things may not be very specific...

but these days, I have found that 

s i m p l i c i t y is best.

p.s. don't forget about my { giveaway }
So far I have 24 entries! Keep spreading the news!

a few of my faves...

I've been inspired by Kati and random blogger I found named Sarah to share with you some of my current favorite things.

Bed Head - Thickening Spray

This hairspray is the perfect hairspray for teasing. Yes, it costs $16.96. But it lasts for a long time!

Bear Naked Granola

What a yummy snack! I really like putting this in yogurt for a little crunch.

Diamond Stud Earrings

Whether they are real or not, diamond stud earrings are classic. They go with everything. They aren't uncomfortable to wear. They are perfect.

Sperry's

I have two pairs of Sperry's. One like in the picture above and a pair of rain shoes. I love both of them. I wear my brown pair of Sperry's at least 3-4 times a week. They are so comfortable and pretty much go with anything.

MAC Eye Liner - Phone Number

I've been wearing liquid/gel eye liner, but this past weekend I needed some more and I ventured out to a pencil. I tested out a few, but I really loved the color "Phone Number." It goes on very smoothly and stays on pretty well.

"these are a few of my favorite things"

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, 

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens."

These may have worked for Julie Andrews, or shall I call her Maria? But it just doesn't cut it for me.

Today, I want to share with you a few of my favorite things. Ok, five of my favorite things. But who's counting? Now, I have LOTS of favorite things. But none of you have time [or care enough] to hear them all. Alright, well here I go...

CHRISTMAS

I love Christmas. Everything about Christmas. First and foremost, the birth of Jesus Christ. For without him, I obviously wouldn't be here. But I also LOVE the music. The lights. The presents. The trees. The food. The spirit. Love love love it. But I also love how it's only one time of year. By the time it gets here, I'm always SO ready for it. This year I started listening to Christmas music in October. That's a record for me. But that just shows my dedication to this holiday.

BABIES

I love babies! Now this might come as a shock to some of you. Believe me. When I finally had this realization, it shocked myself! As a teen, babies didn't really phase me. There was even a point in time I said I didn't want to have kids! {gasp} But something happened when my sister became pregnant. I got to go through the whole process with her while she was pregnant and when Neela was born, it hit me. I love babies. Now, I'm not a fan of the spit up, throw up, dirty diapers. I mean, who really IS a fan? But I love their innocence. I love how everything is funny to them. I currently have two babies in my life (Neela & Addyson) and I'm sad I missed out on loving babies when Alexis and Faith were babies. But Faith and Lexie will always be my little babies too. and I can't get enough of my nieces!!

DIAMONDS

I know, I know. Not so much of a shocker. But I can't deny it. I love diamonds. They truly are a girl's best friend! They won't ever let you down. They will sparkle and shine and be your best compliment to your outfit. They won't ever steal your boyfriend. They won't ever talk bad about you. They only push you to be a prettier person.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL

Oh boy. Do I LOVE Jake Gyllenhaal. He's always been one of my favorite actors. [unlike others, I can look past the whole Brokeback Mountain incident] But he is just gorgeous. And if Taylor Swift can grab him, I definitely could. I was actually pulling for him and Reese Witherspoon to work out. [I love Reese, too!] But please Jake. Anybody but Taylor. [Bethany, don't judge me. I know you love Taylor.]

GLEE

If there was only one television show that I had to watch for the rest of my life, I think Glee could be that show. I love Glee! Don't get me wrong. It's definitely had some of its "iffy" moments. But I absolutely love this show. Singing. Dancing. Cool people. Nerdy people. Dumb people. Its so entertaining! and Jane Lynch is hilarious. You love to hate her. and not to mention, Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison)....that's reason enough for me to watch! What a hunk.

These are a few of my favorite things.
