Sophistishe’s gone “October”. Refresh if you don’t see the subtle changes in the header, background, and bio box in the sidebar :). I added a few details throughout for Halloween and a pink ribbon background to show my support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It feels good to have time to actually do those things. It’s been years since I’ve styled my blog according to season. It’s what makes this blog mine, so I will be doing little fun things like these more often. I’m taking control. One of my favorite things to do during Autumn is aiming my camera ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

One Love: An Interview with Cedella Marley

October 12, 2011 · Life & Quirks · 12 comments

I had the opportunity to interview Bob Marley’s Daughter, Cedella Marley, which was AWESOME by the way! The interview was in conjunction with helping her promote her new children’s book, One Love. The heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book tells of a young girl and her parents inspiring neighbors to restore a park in their multi-cultural neighborhood. Based on one of Bob Marley’s most beloved songs, it celebrates his joyful spirit and unforgettable lyrics, bringing them to life for the new generation. I am super excited and grateful to have One Love in our book collection! So. Check out the ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Walmart’s Bringing (Christmas) Layaway Back! Yeah!

October 12, 2011 · Life & Quirks · leave a comment

Starting October 17th, Christmas Layaway will be available at Walmart stores!!! I for one am super excited about this because this gives us a chance to reserve the items that we want before the Holiday rush whisks them all away. We don’t do credit cards so this gives us a chance to tend to our current financial obligations and gradually make payments on gifts and own them before Christmas. Remorse-free. How Walmart Layaway 2011 Works Only toys and electronics are eligible for layaway. Click here to view a detailed list of eligible items. Layaway applies to items purchased in stores and not ...

Oscar and Golden Globe winning film, “The Lion King“, is now available on Blu-ray. Yes you read right. A movie so classic has been remastered to an HD crisp delight. Simba, Mufasa, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa are back. Better than EVAR in a two-disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray Combo pack. Ahhh. Memories. I remember singing Sing Along Songs from “The Lion King” in music class. I remember receiving “The Lion King” VHS for Christmas. I was so excited about this movie! I had Lion King shirts, coloring books, and toys! I still have the video game for Sega somewhere around here. ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

So Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. And I admit, I’m using Jayden as an excuse to relive my childhood, only like 10x’s better, lol. I really like decorating our home according to season. It just makes life at home more exciting! I had the opportunity to shop Kmart’s Totally Ghoul selection using Kmart’s 50ft Party and Dawn’s Kmart Halloween Party Bluprint as inspiration.

I’m a sucker for autumn decor.

My Halloween finds under $32 I’m a sucker for autumn decor, as if you couldn’t tell. So as soon as Walmart put out their selection, I grabbed some things before I even knew I’d have the opportunity to write a sponsored post about it. So without further ado, let’s take a tour shall we? In true Sheena fashion, the fridge is decorated with Halloween themed window clings. The mini scare crows were planted with the cilantro (pictured), but then I moved them to my herb box (not pictured). The jack-o-lantern rests on the bench in our entryway. I stuck one ...

Home Free Shipping: What’s In Your Cart?

October 9, 2011 · Beauty · 1 comment

I’ve been ordering health and beauty products from Walmart for quite some time now. I usually place an order when I can’t find certain St. Ives products at my local Walmart and I tend to order in multiple quantities. It makes sense since we tend to run out of these products fast, especially lotion and face wash. I default to Walmart.com because their prices are usually low and shipping’s not terribly bad. To make shopping Walmart.com even better, Walmart announced their Home Free shipping service that provides free shipping to home on all apparel and consumables orders over $45. Tens ...
