I heard last year that Zhu Zhu Pets
As toys go, they seem to be OK. My daughters like the ones they got because they “feel so much like real pets” and play with them occasionally (they’ve had them for 2 1/2 months). But they haven’t been able to get them to interact with each other. They would like more, though (and they’re not getting them).

I just bought this lipstick, a L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick 
Alas, that’s probably why this is the shortest-lasting lipstick in the history of humankind. I don’t think it lasted even half an hour, and as if that wasn’t enough, it bled below my lower lip. Maybe that’s why they didn’t sell and ended up at Grocery Outlet.
One of the activities I have planned for Mika’s 8th Birthday Ancient Egyptian party is decorating t-shirts. For that purpose, I got a couple of booklets of Ancient Egyptian stencils at Amazon.com and some Tulip Fashion Spray Paint
The stencils are quite small, each sheet is about 5.4″ x 4″. The sheets are laminated and they cleaned up quite well (though we’ll see how many clean ups they can stand). They are, of course, too small for spray painting if used by themselves – but I cut out a rectangle the size of the stencil in the middle of a cardboard sheet, then taped the stencil there, and it worked quite well to shield the rest of the spraying surface.
I’m also happy with the paint. The kids had some difficulties making it spray rather than just blot, but I think it was a matter of applying the right pressure to the pump and having it at an adequate distance from the surface. I think the kids at the party will figure it out.
Both Mika and Camila were quite happy with the results. Mika painted a t-shirt she had with the ankhs and Camila just tried it on a piece of paper-cloth we had around. I got white t-shirts for the party, so I think it’ll work even better.
A while ago I blogged about my experience ordering stuff from Oriental Trading (in summary, they sell stuff which causes cancer and other diseases without disclosing it). I haven’t ordered from them since, but I have been receiving their catalogs. All their catalogs. Seemingly every week. Multiple times.
I don’t get it, why would a company publish so many catalogs and feel compelled to send them to all its customers? It’s not as if each catalog presented unique merchandise.
Clearly it must work for them, or they’d stop the practice – but it’d still be nice if they were a little bit more conscious of the environment. They could at least use recycled paper.
Anyway, end of rant.
