If you really want to spread some holiday cheer in the bedroom this year you have to check out this hot little number the fine folks at my fave online lingerie shop Yandy sent me!

I can hear someone saying

“Does Yandy really have sexy Christmas lingerie?”

All I gotta say is

“Yes. Yes. They. Do.”

I’ve been kind of bah-humbug about everything until the Missy Claus Crushed Velvet and Plush Set arrived at my door step the other day:

Being the sneaky elf that I am, I turned this review into a surprise early gift for The Hotness and ho-ho-holy hell he was surprised! It’s super cute and actually very comfortable to wear, and it hugs in all the right places. I received the same great service from them that I always do; fast shipping and well sealed packaging so that my Christmas goodies wouldn’t get trashed in the mail.

They have tons of super sexy Christmas themed lingerie. I had a really hard time deciding on just one. So If you’re looking for an extra special way to give your favorite sugar plum a spicy Christmas to remember, go visit their site and pick something out. With all the shipping options they have available they can still get it to you by Christmas if you order soon!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas with Yandy and make this year completely unforgettable

The Hotness and I bought our first house together this past June and have been undertaking the very slow and sometimes painful process of remodeling ever since. The first area of the house we decided to tackle was the hallway by the bedrooms. We re-textured the nasty orange peel walls and made them nice and smooth, tore out the cheap doorframes and then uprooted the baseboards which had seen better days to say the least. With every trip to the hardware store and every swipe of my debit card I thank god that we got the house wicked cheap *chuckle*

After all the plaster and painting we found there was one more problem. We were completely in the dark. There were no lights in the hallway, none, nada, zilch, zip. So we went shoppin’, I must have looked at 50 bazillion hallway light fixtures guys. Nothing was workin’ for me that was in my budget. I’m a picky person when it comes to the way my house looks but I’m also cheap. I work here and live here and that means I’m in this place 24/7, I want it to look perfect. I have a rather specialized taste for my decorating and the big box stores here in town just weren’t cutting it. I find myself irritated with the crowds at the home stores and every store seems to carry the same styles of stuff. I finally smartened up and resorted to the anthem of my life “Go look it up online.”

Enter Premier Lighting, a Glendale, AZ home lighting company. They have a 7,000 square foot showroom up north of me but I didn’t really want to go a-drivin’ after spending days on end working with plaster. They solved my problem in a hot minute; they do online lighting sales as well! The Hotness and I kicked back, relaxed, and split a pizza while we started sorting out things we liked and things we didn’t on their extensive website. After a couple hours of printing out pictures of their lights and holding them up to the wall we picked out the new light that would bring us out of the hallway of darkness.

We needed something medium sized that was slightly darker to accent the paint on the walls and would add a touch of decor since it would be the only thing hangin’ on that wall. Y’all, I’d like you to meet the Single Light Wall Sconce with an Autumn Dusk finish!

Ain’t She a Beaut?

I love desert inspired colors and darker hues and this piece brought both of those things together very well. After renting a house with wall scone lights in it I fell in love with this style of light fixture. They are super easy to keep clean and actually add an element of decoration to the area where it hangs. Not to mention the price was pretty good when compared to the other places I’d looked at.

The ordering process was pretty run of the mill easy-peasy. I found a hellva perk in the process, they provide free shipping on all of their products in the contiguous US! Not only was I getting a good deal, but I didn’t have to pay for shipping! ‘Effin’ Score! The next day we received an email thanking us for our business and letting us know our order had been shipped and gave me the tracking number I’ve come to love so that I can stalk my package all the way to my door. It arrived pretty darn quickly, only a couple days later I had my hot little mitts all over that light.

The folks at Premier Lighting don’t mess around with packing, I now have enough bubble wrap and packing peanuts to choke a horse. And not a single chip, dent or ding on my new light! The box also included a little booklet that explained all the nitty-gritty about the light and how to go about hookin’ it up.

The Hotness busted a hole in the wall and went to work on getting the wiring run to where we were going to install it. After the wiring was ready our new light was hooked up in under 5 minutes. If we would have had the wiring there in the first place this job would have been a total breeze. But all of our other projects take a couple days each so this 45 minute job was a nice treat.

Our Ugly Bare Wall

We put in the light bulb and flicked the switch to see the final result. Guys, I have one sexy hallway now! Lookie:

The Nice New Light all Installed

So, if you’re looking for a way to update a room with some new fixtures or are in the process of a total remodel like us go take a look at what they have to offer and consider buying light fixtures online.

I’ve got my eye on their Desert Wind Chandelier for the centerpiece of our dining room once we get to that point in the remodel. The Premier Lighting website also sports a Home Lighting Design Center for help finding what you need as well as a nifty “Build Your Own Ceiling Fan” tool so you can mix and match to your hearts content.

Great lighting, great prices, great service…I’m just…well…all lit up inside (and out for that matter) *chuckle*

Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love dressing up and when I was little I always had some great costumes. I’ve noticed the stores are already putting out their Halloween stuff guys and I’m totally stoked to get movin’ towards the big day.

The only problem is I hate shopping at places like Wal-Mart for Halloween costumes because none of them ever fit and they have a really craptastic selection for adults. It usually consists of chintzy costumes that come in such unimaginative and generic names like “Witch” or “Princess”. So totally not my bag y’all, I wanna stand out and look hot for the upcoming spooky season.

So, I jumped on my broomstick computer and went to check out Yandy Lingerie’s selection of sexy Halloween costumes. They have costumes of all sorts…from a smokin’ Cinderella to sexy Rainbow Bright (y’all remember her?) and everything in between! They even have sexy plus size costumes as well!

It took The Hotness and I almost an hour to look at everything, they have so many great costumes for both men and women. After many rounds of paper rock scissors we picked out one which I’ma show y’all below and bookmarked another just in case we have more than one party to go to…can’t show up in the same thing twice dontcha know! Yeah, I take my Halloween that seriosuly.

So I picked out the Private Sexy School Girl Costume as my first choice *grins* I received the same great service from them that I did before, fast shipping and well sealed packaging so that my goods didn’t get trashed in the mail. The costume came complete with the cute top, the short n’ sassy skirt and a matching tie!

Both the shirt and the skirt fit great, the tie was a little big for my skinny chicken neck but I found a string of pearls works with the outfit just as well. We picked up a pair of knee high white socks at a local store and are on the hunt for the perfect pair of Mary Janes to top it off right. I’m gonna be ahead of the class when it comes time for the trick or treaters to start making their rounds

Oh yeah….The Hotness gives this costume a big fat A+

Trying to look sexy in the bedroom while you sleep can be…well…trying. Most of the “sexy” pajama wear that’s out there these days will make your body cringe just from looking at it while it’s still on the rack. With all the straps, buckles, clips, and clasps it can be a circus sideshow just trying the stuff on much less trying to get it off again, or god-forbid even trying to sleep in it.

When shopping for sexy pajamas I’m a huge stickler on comfort. In fact very rare I find anything that actually meets my expectations. What’s the point in looking good while you sleep if you don’t actually feel good because you’re too busy digging a stray clip out of your butt at 3am?

If you’re like me, you usually just give up and wear boxers and a t-shirt to bed. But lets face it, sometimes you just want to look extra pretty either for yourself or your significant other. Ladies am I right in saying that you shouldn’t have to have to suffer through the night in order to look great in the boudoir? I can feel you nodding along with me *chuckle*

The Hotness and I are self-proclaimed “blue-collar-coffee-snobs”, we don’t “do” pre-ground but we can’t really afford to dish the cash for Starbucks everyday so we concoct our java at home. But more importantly –like most people– we positively must have our morning cuppa joe in order to function normally throughout the day. So we were both pretty stoked to find out about a coffee company named Boca Java that was looking for bloggers to review its cool new blog-themed coffee collection titled “Bloggers Fuel“. This collection sports catchy packaging and even catchier blend names like: Bloggers Boot Up Blend, Late Night Login, Bloggers Beach Blast, Blogs of Bravery, New Media Mavericks, and Bloggers PJ Passion.
