Manic Monday > Makes Me Want to Shop and Dance!

Welcome to another Monday at Chaos and Gloss. Hope you all had a great Saint Patrick's Day!

Things I'm loving this week:

Commericals that make me want to dance AND shop. Best of both worlds, right? I am in love with this one from Target, and not just because my Grandma used to always sing "Allouette" to me as a little girl. Don't you just love Target's bright new home decor line?

Here is some of my favorite picks from this line:

Then there's this fun commerical from one of my favorite stores: White House / Black Market:

She makes tap dancing look so cool! Here are some fabulous pieces from their new line to put some "Spring" into your step:

I'm also loving Potholes & Pantyhose's tutorial on making your own eye makeup remover! Fun and witty blogger Rebekah, says that it's just as effective as the pricier versions she's tried. She also has a recipe for gentle face wash. Check them out here:

I've also been pinning like crazy, DIY projects that involve wood pallets; which my friend and I are eyeballing to incorporate into her living room redo. Check out these fabulous pins:

Manic Monday > I Need Some Pinterest Endorphins

Have your Pinterest endorphins kicked in for today? Some people need coffee on Monday, I need Pinterest. I like to get a big dose of Pinterest to make me feel good. It's shopping on steroids without the credit card statement on steroids - guilt free shopping.

I can have a Pinterest house, wardrobe, dream vacation, vacation home, and eat Pinterest meals all without leaving my home (or my bed, if I choose) and without the gigantic debt that I would incur if I bought all this stuff or the divorce I would be getting if I bought it all.

Did you know that we have two Boards. We have the Glossy Flossy Board and I have a Laurie Glossy Board because sometimes I like to pin something that might not be rated PG on my Makes Me Laugh Board, or something pink, blue, or purple. Those aren't my favorite colors but I do think they're feel good colors.

Check out some recent pins to our boards:
