~It’s Monday and I am in a fabulous mood! Not only is it sunny and “warm” out, but it’s Opening Day which is pretty much a holiday in these parts! The MSU / UM games actually couldn’t have been timed any better. Now the focus has shifted to baseball and we can all forget about those nasty losses. B may or may not be headed to the game today and I have the boys dressed in their Tigers finest.

~I mentioned it yesterday, but we had a great weekend. I had some time to myself Saturday morning to do some washi tape shopping and then yesterday we all hit up Rainforest Cafe for lunch (WB was not too sure about the storm), the indoor play area at the mall and then spent the rest of the afternoon outside. At least the boys did. I had basketball to watch.

~It’s been kind of a subscription box dry spell here the last few days, but that all should change this week! We should be getting PopSugar Must Have Resort Box spoilers soon (my box probably won’t come until next week though), and I am expecting the Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box, another Mystery Fancy Box (I couldn’t resist), Stitch Fix, a Citrus Lane Mystery Box, Julep and Ellie for sure. And there are always a few more that sneak in there.

~My mom doesn’t know it yet (actually she does now that she just read this), but I am going to try and talk her into watching WB one day this week (that shouldn’t be too hard) so that I can get a much needed haircut!  I despise going to the salon and, as a result, my hair looks like a mess right now.  I was this close to stopping into Great Clips this weekend, but I restrained myself.  The salon it is.  Have the champs ready.

~Oh my goodness, is this not the cutest picture?  I love that George is more interested in the dog than anything else and the dog seems to be quite fond of him as well.  I really do think that babies / kids and dogs make for great friends.  Oh and of course, Kate looks stunning as usual.

~I know everyone is wondering what’s up with the next Allure Beauty Box and it appears that the wait is almost over!  Per their Facebook, the next box will go on sale sometime in April.  Last year it was on 4/24 (that’s according to the ladies at MUT) if that helps at all!  They also suggest that you subscribe to allureaccess.com for all the details.

 What’s up for your Monday?  How was your weekend?  What subscription boxes are you expecting this week?  Got any pranks planned for tomorrow?

    Redditgifts opened up new exchanges this morning. They have a makeup/nail polish one this time around, along with a bunch of others.

    1. Jennifer

      Ahhh, thanks for the heads up! What did you sign up for?

      1. Kristin

        I only signed up for T-shirts this time around. I may go back to it in the next week and pick something else, but I am staying low key this time.

    It’s killing me as an Illinois grad living in Wisconsin that I have to cheer for the Badgers now……

    1. Jennifer

      This isn’t like cheering against Illinois though!!

  3. Katrina

    Have you seen that there’s a new limited-edition Oreo flavor on the loose? Fruit punch! They’re apparently exclusive to Walmart and I haven’t decided if it’s worth braving WM for me to track some down.

    1. Jennifer

      Fruit punch! Where those out last year too? No wait that was watermelon.

  4. Bethany

    I love that pic of Will&Kate&George!! For whatever reason it makes them seem more relatable that they have a little one almost the same age as mine. And I am loling over “washi tape shopping” being a thing now. Oh sigh. It’s so true. My PS resort box is still not trackable by reference and I’m dying!!! I don’t have enough boxes coming in the next few weeks, so the thought of this one is keeping me going.. Addiction…

    1. Jennifer

      I agree! They seem really down to earth and having a little one makes it even more so. My box isn’t trackable yet either. Hopefully soon though!

  5. victoria

    Their picture is so much better than Kim Kardashians. lol.

    1. Jennifer

      LOL!!

  6. Kelley Quigley

    Oh my goodness, that pic is adorable!

    I need a haircut really badly too and I also hate going to the salon. I usually do end up going to Great Clips. I don’t know why I hate it so much, but I just do. My hair always has split ends. Actually, about 6 months ago I had Chris cut my hair because I didn’t want to go! (And he has no clue how to cut hair, but he pulled it off well enough for me, LOL)

    1. Jennifer

      OMG that is hysterical because I have thought about talking B into cutting it many times!

    1. Jennifer

      Yay! I don’t even think I got a shipping notification on mine?

  7. Alexia561

    Love the picture of Will & Kate! They make a very cute family! And I totally hear you about hating haircuts, as that’s why I’ve let mine grow so long. Think it’s been almost a year since my last haircut, so guess I need to head to Supercuts one day this week. Not looking forward to that! 🙁

    1. Jennifer

      Same. I don’t want it this long / gross, but I just hate going so much…

    Oh my my day has been crazy not sure when I will get to blog today. We had teacher conference this morning and then N was supposed to get a filling but they had to postpone so off shopping it was since my mom is here. Toys R Us is always crazy and considering this week is spring break around here and they have an extra percentage off clearance it was a zoo at 10am this morning. Boys did get new shoes at the mall so all is good. I also have about 5 gazillion different things that I’m trying to get done but of course I had to take a quick blog break and check in. 🙂

    1. Jennifer

      Ohh, do I need to go check this clearance out???

      1. Jenny

        My store had a lot with extra 20,30,40 or 50% off depending on color. We didn’t get a ton but I may need to go without kids and do some shopping to put stuff away.

    I really want to get my hands on the Allure Beauty Box. I loved seeing what you got in the fall one. Here’s hoping I can grab one!

    1. Jennifer

      Make sure to set an alarm on your phone when they announce the date it will go on sale.

    Got my Fancy boxes today! 😀 I have the women’s review up on my blog and will do a review of the men’s tomorrow. Very pleasantly surprised to see that I didn’t get the “loser boxes” for either men’s or women’s. The men’s mystery box was amazing for me!!! I have another women’s box coming to me (it just shipped today!) and I think I’m going to have to order another men’s box… XD

    1. Jennifer

      Ahhhh I love that women’s one! I need to know what was in the men’s one ASAP!!

      1. Iris

        Hehehe, I ended up posting the men’s mystery box review just now because I got impatient since I had everything ready to go. 😀

        Can’t wait to see what you get in your women’s box, hehe.

        1. Jennifer

          Your Men’s one is amazing! I love that charger block!

  11. Katie

    That is such a cute pic of the royal family, I think the little prince and the puppy actually are what make it so sweet…and Kate is just beautiful and perfect, as usual.

  12. Iris

    For some reason I can’t reply to your last comment, but thank you! 😀 I really couldn’t believe that they had included that charger block!

  13. Jennifer

    They are all so gorgeous!

  14. Jessica

    I searched my April Allure magazine to see if they announced the date for the next box (like they have for previous boxes), but I found nothing 🙁

    1. Jennifer

      On sale on 4/29 at 12:01pm! Set your alarm!

      1. Jessica

        Nice! Thank-you!

        1. Jessica

          Is there a preview of what is in the box yet?

          1. Jennifer

            Not yet.
