Thursday Thoughts

~Happy 4th of July!!! Even though I know not many people will link up today because they are off celebrating the holiday, I still wanted to do a post for those who wanted to read / link-up! And if you haven’t went off to celebrate yet, what are your plans for the day? Anything exciting? Are you headed out of town?

~I don’t think I mentioned it on here, but I sent off my old iPhone (I had an iPhone 4) to NextWorth to see how their process worked.  My quote was $163 ($136, plus an additional 20% for the “BONUS20” coupon code for Apple products which expires tomorrow), which I accepted and mailed my phone in using the prepaid UPS label.  I got the quote on 6/24, sent it off on 6/25, got the inspection notice on 7/1 (all was well) and was paid, via PayPal on 7/2/13!  I will totally be using them again!!!

~We are up-north and L is loving every second of it. He’s a total up-north kid and can spend hours playing in the water and jet-skiing and tubing. He totally loves it all. WB isn’t as excited about, but he still enjoys it. I think he wishes he could do all the big kid stuff too!

Tubing!

~B and I are finished with the 10-Day Cleanse portion of the AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge and are down 9lbs (me) and 7lbs (him)! Those are actually from Day 9 because we were away from scales after that, but yay us! We took the kids to get ice-cream yesterday and didn’t even get any for ourselves. We’re doing the Meal Replacement shakes for breakfast although I did get some meal replacement bars as well because I sometimes feel like I am “more full” or that my meal is complete if I chew something. Does that sound crazy?

~Still no word from thredUP, but Elizabeth over at Trenches of Mommyhood did a little experiment and sent similar bags to both thredUP and Moxie Jean. thredUP sent $19.11 and Moxie Jean sent a whopping $63 and was much faster in processing her items! I requested a bag for Moxie Jeans yesterday and will do a full report on this too!

~My June Tyler Florence Fancy Box got delivered yesterday (and got to me today) and I should have that review up later today.  I am waiting on the June Coco Rocha Fancy Box which is coming tomorrow, the June Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box and the July Stork Stack which is in-transit.  Bonjour Jolie (don’t forget they are offering 20% off 3-month subscriptions today) and maybe Lip Factory should be on their way in the next day or so as well!  Ohhh, and the July PopSugar box has shipped (you can track it by reference using your order / subscription number) and should be here early next week!  EEEK!  Fingers crossed for some spoilers tomorrow??

~And finally, if you earned Stella & Dot Dot Dollars in June, don’t forget to spend them!  You have till July 11th at 11:59PM PST and if you don’t feel like anything, consider getting a few Christmas gifts out of the way!  I totally recommend the Renegade Cluster and Rhea Bangles.  I don’t think you can go wrong with those!

That’s it from here.  We’ve got a parade to get to (they throw candy and L is all over that) and B’s got a 10K to run!  What’s on your mind today?  Don’t forget to link-up below!
