~We had both a busy and a relaxing weekend. I don’t know how this is possible, but it happened. B ran the Foam Fest – a 5K and had a 10K Charity Run on Sunday. Umm, the Foam Fest was something else – WB and I went with him. I’ve been to various races with B and this was probably the oddest one of the bunch. It totally looked fun, but no one was running. It was a Foam Walk. I should so have signed up for this one and called it my 5K. That would have been perfect.Ohh, and if B’s friend A is reading this, you need to sign up for that one race with B. L spent the weekend up-north and loved every single second of it. He’s such an up-north kid and luckily for him, we’re all headed back in a few weeks. Ohh, and B and I got to sit on the patio, just us two last night. It was quite nice!
~I posted about this in my newsletter, but I am expecting lots of boxes this week. Well I actually have some and they just need reviews and others are set to arrive this week. Expect to see reviews on: Unmentionably Cheeky, Elizabeth & Clarke, PopSugar Must Have for Him, PopSugar Must Have, ipsy, Love With Food, Kiwi Crate, Lip Factory and Thred Up. I’m not going to lie, I’m most excited about PopSugar. That box needs to GET HERE. And also Kiwi Crate. It could be a LONG weekend around here (B’s going to be gone), so we’re gonna need that box ;).
~I watched probably half dozen episodes of Season 3 of PLL (Pretty Little Liars) last night and I am pleased to report it’s just as good as Seasons 1 and 2. They should pass out Xanax for PLL fans! I think it’d help me cope with the show better. I don’t know how these girls go about their day to day lives getting all these texts from A!
~WB has finally cut his first tooth. Yes, at almost 14 months, WB finally has a tooth. And the second one is well on its way to popping though. And the teeth he’s getting? They are his top two front teeth. I love it. And I know you all think WB is always so happy, but he’s not so thrilled by these teeth! If it were up to him, he’d just toothless eating mac n’ cheese for the rest of his life ;).
~Has anyone sold anything on ebay lately? I used to do it all the time, but I haven’t used ebay in years (maybe that is why I have so much stuff)? Anything I should know? I am trying to avoid Craigslist for the most part because, OMG, the questions are insane. People ask the dumbest things. Ever. And if I am selling a jumperoo for $40, no, I won’t take $10. AHHHHHH. Plus, I hate meeting people in parking lots and stuff. Too creepy. Maybe this should have been a Tuesdays Troubles entry ;).
Alright, enough from here. How was your weekend? And what do you have going on this week? Anything exciting? Expecting any boxes??
I do eBay fairly often. I sell my daughter’s Matilda Jane she has grown out of or doesn’t wear anymore and some older lululemon stuff 🙂 The things I always put in my listing are : I only accept PayPal, I only ship within the US, payment due within 24 hrs of auction ending (too many who don’t pay!), and please ask all questions before bidding as all sales are final.
That said, I do sell the bigger stuff to consignment.
I sell on ebay a lot, it’s pretty simple. Especially when you have a current item and can use product info and photos directly from wherever that product is sold so you don’t have to take and upload your own pics. 😉 Beauty items sell faster and for more $ than a lot of other items, I’ve found.
I actually sold over 250.00 worth of Molly’s summer clothes from last year in the beginning of May! I love ebay! The only thing that is a bummer is they charge you, but i’d rather pay the small fee then deal with people on craigslist! It’s also SUPER easy to do on your iPhone! 🙂
So funny you should mention ebay, I listed some sunglasses this weekend and it was the first time I’ve listed anything in years! I echo it was super easy to do from my iPhone, I’m going to start selling my kids clothes I think, up to this point I’ve always given them away but hey, might as well get a few bucks back out of them!
I’ve sold some things on ebay but the bigger items I’ve been doing craigslist. I get the annoying emails too but it was worse when posted some of Ms tools. They asked crazy questions. I’m bad and just have people come to the house. I don’t want to be driving all around. I had the items in the garage so I just opened it for them and was able to do the transaction out there. I’ve also done consignment sales at my moms church I did pretty well there too.
So I miss counted last week and I’m getting 8 boxes this month. One down (birchbox) and most of the rest this week. I’m excited and waiting on the mail today. LOL
I would sincerely avoid Craigslist at all costs!!! Everything about it creeps me out!
Btw, I think Poshmark is a great place to sell gently used, higher-end clothing and accessories!
Poor WB! Hope he isn’t in too much pain from teething. Pictures please once they both come in! Bet teeth will make his smile even prettier!
I think all the subscription box people should get together and have a meeting on when to send their boxes. For real. I will go a week with not getting a single one and then poof, I get home one day and there are 5 on my door step. I don’t want 5 in one day! I want one a day for 5 days! Lol. The troubles of my life I tell ya. (Or they all show up when my mom is staying with me… who already thinks I spend too much money… now she really thinks I have a problem… and that I’m addicted to getting stuff in the mail. All probably true, but don’t tell her that) 😉
