As usual, I am stealing Jen’s Sunday Sentiments button and idea and making it mine tonight. I’ve “known” Jen for umm, 10 years (and yet we’ve never met), and she knows I do it, so it’s not exactly stealing. But then again, it’s not a link up either ;).
~Not sure how it happened, but it’s Sunday already! Happily B has the day off tomorrow so our weekend isn’t over quite yet. I can’t even tell you what I’ve done this weekend which pretty much means it hasn’t been overly productive. Oh well. B and L had a “date” yesterday and went to the Lego Store and built mini figs (so cool) and bought legos and then went to Dave & Buster’s! I’m not sure who had more fun, B or L ;). L is already looking forward to his next date with B which is the Lion’s game in a few weeks. Luckily WB isn’t old enough to really get that he’s not, well old enough, to go with them so we hung out here and played trains while they were gone. And B and I have gotten to watch a few movies (The To Do List and Snitch) and ate some great Plated meals! It’s been a good weekend so far ;).
~In subscription box news, I posted the spoilers for the PopSugar Neiman Marcus Must Have Box yesterday! I was doing some serious MUT stalking last night and it paid off. If you want to be spoiled you can check out the box here. If you don’t want to be spoiled, but want to know something, I will say that I am excited and that the box contains eight items worth a grand total of $638.
~Birchboxes are up! I am getting Box #32 this month and the more I look at it, the more excited I get. Six items, including chocolate and no tea! That’s perfect for me. Last time I looked ipsy bags weren’t up yet, but they should be soon.
~I stumbled into these Market Place cookies at Target the other day and OMG, amazing. Whoever invented these is my new best friend (or my worst enemy I suppose). So so so good. If you are at Target, get these. They are like an animal cracker covered in chocolate with sprinkles. Or like a mint cookie, but not mint tasting and with sprinkles.
~Last week at Target they had this insane iPad trade-in deal going on that let you trade in ANY iPad, including a first generation one for AT LEAST $200 towards a new iPad. Yeah, they gave me a $200 for L’s ancient iPad. Insanity. Most places give you $80 or $90 MAX. As insane as it sounds, L has been needing to upgrade for a while now (some apps he wants needs a camera and his iPad didn’t have one), so he now has B’s old one and B is waiting until Target restocks their iPad airs and will use the gift card for that. The Target electronics employees looked pretty beat and I am guessing they never ever want to see a first generation iPad again ;).
~I have been getting a lot of people asking about Advocare Spark again and people wanting to try all the flavors, so I decided to buy a box of every flavor (Cherry, Citrus, Fruit Punch, Grape, Mandarin Orange, Mango Strawberry, Pink Lemonade and Watermelon) and am going to sell mixed Spark boxes!! Boxes will be $22.95 (which is the actual retail price on Advocare) plus shipping and will include 14 packets (same as online). So you’ll get at least one of every flavor and two of most (you’ll never get more than two of the same though)! Leave me a comment if you are interested and I’ll get in touch with you. I need to get back on the Spark / Advocare train and hopefully having a zillion flavors to pick from helps me out too!
~I finally checked out my first e-book from the library last night and OMG how cool is that? Like everyone suggested I used the Overdrive App and then just searched for my local library, found a book and “checked out”. So awesome. THANK YOU to everyone who told me about this! I never would have known!
How is your weekend going? Any Sunday night plans?
I haven’t heard of Overdrive but am totally going to check it out now!
Yes! It’s so cool!
Those star cookie are made by a local company here.. they only make them at christmas and easter and I eat about 3 boxes each holiday.. they make them in dark chocolate too!
I need to find that!!
Oh my gosh. Yes on the spark! I haven’t wanted to buy it because I haven’t wanted to commit to a flavor…
I’ll e-mail you!
Oh my gosh I want to try the spark sample pack! I’ve been wanting to try the watermelon, but am too scared to splurge on the big canister and not like it!
I’ll e-mail you!
Oooh! Do you know if Target still has the iPad deal???
I LOVE Overdrive! I travel a ton for work and the audiobooks make long boring drives SO much better.
No, it ended yesterday. It was only for a week.
Just checked my Birchbox spoilers and yay I’m getting nail polish and boo I’m getting tea instead of chocolate!! I love tea but it’s not fair, I want chocolate!!
Also, what’s Spark?
Spark is a sports / energy drink. Super good and comes in lots of flavors!
So, that perfume in your birchbox? Yeah. I now have a problem. They sent it to me last month. I absolutely cannot get enough. I hope you like it too! But, not too much, you know, because it’s 100 dollars.. Haha
OMG I can’t wait to smell it!!!
oh. my. G. i cannot believe i missed that deal. we have a first gen ipad. BOO HOO.
whew, our screen is scratched, makes me feel slightly better.
Unless it’s cracked I bet they would have taken it! Ours has taken A LOT of abuse over the years!
I have been stalking Ipsy waiting on it to update and was worried that mine was the only one that hadn’t! Good to know that yours hasn’t either. I was really happy with Birchbox this month and could not believe that mine got here so quickly. Must get some of those cookies! 🙂
Yours did come fast! Yay!!
Getting the same Birchbox as you!!!! Excited send spoilers / contents of the IPSY from Canada subscribers on youtube. Seems six items in every ba.g. Mostly full size items.
I saw some on Instagram. I can’t remember if I was excited or not? I need to see what’s in mine first.
I’m interested in the spark as well.
I’ll e-mail you!
I would love to try the Spark.
I’ll e-mail you!
One of my techs told me earlier this week about overdrive..needless to say I have downloaded some books.
So cool!!! Why didn’t i know of this sooner??
We just tried Spark the other night (mistake, but at least we knew it worked!) and have been meaning to order some! If we know the flavor we want, can I just order that through you/your website?
lol!!!! You were probably very awake at bedtime! Yes, you can order directly through that link and it will take you to my site. Advocare will ship it directly to you!
Can we do the sample box through you?
Yes! I e-mailed you!
Such a great idea with the spark. I’d love to try it!
I will e-mail you!
OMG YOU CAN RENT EBOOKS? I am so excited. I need to look into this now.
LOL Yes!! So cool right?
Totally interested in the Spark sampler!
I will e-mail you!
Hey, I’m interested in buying a box. What do I need to do?
I’ll e-mail you!
I would love to try out a box of “mixed” Spark flavors! I am just not brave enough to buy a flavor when I’m not sure I will love it. Great idea!
I e-mailed you!
I’d like to try the Spark samples, please.
I will e-mail you!
Dont know if you have any left but i would love to try spark too! The variety of sample box you mentioned!
I will e-mail you!
I’ve had spark in my amazon cart for weeks now, but couldn’t decide on a flavor. Add me to the list, please!
I will e-mail you!
