~Oh what a weekend! Seriously we packed a ton of stuff into this one. Friday night was an Ice Cream Social / Party at L’s school. B had class, so just the boys and I went and we had a blast. Ice cream, dancing, games! Such a good time! Saturday I ran to Target and the mall (alone) which was fabulous and then B got to spend the afternoon working on his car which he loved. And then yesterday was LEGO FEST! OMG the boys loved it. Loved it. They could have spent the entire time playing in the giant lego pile. For real. Totally recommend checking this out if it comes to your town. And then we had lunch at SmashBurger which was also a big hit. A good good weekend for sure.
~I am expecting a few boxes this week, including my Citrus Lane Mystery Boxes, which should FINALLY be arriving! I should also be getting Julep, Birchbox Man, GLOSSYBOX, the Honest Co. Mother’s Day Box, and a Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box. And certainly a few more that I am missing right now. Should be another fun week!
~This “nice” (aka above 50) weather we have been having I have already begun (began?) to have allergy issues. So basically I just wanted to tell you I feel like crap today. That entire freezing cold winter. And the minute it warms up, this happens. Ugh.
~I’m on this huge kick to make my hair look fabulous and I now that I have the shine part down, I want more. And I hear that this curling wand is where it’s at. I have never used one before and don’t want to be paying over $100 for something I won’t LOVE, but I am super intrigued. Has anyone used one? thoughts?
~I was just complaining about the odd things that pop up in my Facebook feed last week and then the other night these wine glasses popped up and I realized hey, maybe they do know me after all. This is a legit wine sippy cup.
~Is anyone else sad that Television Without Pity is shutting down ;(? I hadn’t been reading it as much lately as I used too years ago, but it was always my go to spot for spoilers on tv shows and, of course, snark on some of my favorite reality shows. Their recaps were some of the best. I’ll miss you TWOP!
~Can someone explain this #happy100days thing to me? You just post what you are happy about every day for 100 days? Did this just start or has it been going on since the beginning of the year? Also, why did it take me going to an elementary school party to hear the Selfie song for the first time ever? LOL. That song is so dumb. And I totally can see why people like it. Heck, I wanted to start dancing!
What’s up for your Monday? How was your weekend? What subscription boxes are you expecting this week? And if you haven’t signed up for my Newsletter yet, the next one is going out this week at 9am, so do it now!!!
We got some wine sippy cups to take on a cabin trip with us, and we love them! They were great for the hot tub (and/or pool I would assume). I like those “stemless” ones too – they look like they could hold more wine 🙂
Hmm, now I thought these would fit more. Maybe I will need to do a test…
Allergies suck. I’m hoping our rain this week will help knock some of the pollen away. We are all miserable.
I got the same ad on my FB. I really want a set of those.
So sad about TWOP. I haven’t been on as much lately either but I loved their reviews. I hope they pop up somewhere else soon.
I haven’t heard of the 100 day thing or the selfie song. I’ll have to check them both out.
The selfie song seems to be a bit hit with the young girls at L’s school. They all totally knew it.
What is the name of the stuff you are using to make your hair shiny? I wanted to try it!
I have been using the John Freida Hair Glaze!
Instead of a wand I use my 1″ curling iron. I wrap my hair around that. It works! You Tube it 🙂
Ohh, good call!
the 100 happy days is a challenge. you pick any day you want to start and than your suppose to post 1 pic a day of soemthing that makes you happy for 100 straight days.. i slack badly at this, and usually end up posting days late oops!
Ive never heard of lush, and the closest one is almost 2 hours away from me.. but i have a gazillion things in my shopping cart! AHH i need to go read what are MUST haves.. so i dont spend a million dollars! LOL
The consensus pretty much seems to be that everything is a much have, which isn’t at all helpful!
A lot of twopers are crossing over to site called prime time, I think. It’s run by former twop moderates.
I ordered the wine sippy cups from groupon. I know they have come up at least twice.
I will check out that site. And be on the lookout for this cups!
I think Julep is the only box I have coming this week.
I don’t have a curling wand but I have the curl genius which is amazing.
What is a curl genius??
It pulls the hair in automatically and times each curl. I have shoulder length hair and it’s under 5 minutes. Plus they stay all day. Here’s a YouTube video: http://youtu.be/mYF5cuACo1U
I thought about trying a curling wand too. I think its Remington or Bed Head or something has cheap ones at Ulta for like $30
That’s doable. Maybe there will be an ulta coupon soon.
Wine sippie cups are a brilliant idea.
Had a high of 68 here yesterday. Supposed to get to 93 on Wednesday and then back down to 75 Saturday. Go figure.
I have a friend who has been doing the 100 happy days but not daily. I think she’s just counting 100 things as they come up.
Oh geez. That weather would make me go crazy! The 75 one sounds perfect though!
I feel you on the allergies! Mine are terrible!!
I LOVE that wine glass!!
I just recent started the 100happydays … After a string of crummy events, it’s helped me to focus on the happy and positive things that happen each day. I love finding something each day that makes me smile! (Although I’m 6 days behind so tonight is going to be post overload LOL)
I feel like my face is going to fall off. It’s horrible.
LOL! At least you are catching up!
This is the wand I use and it was super cheap $20, definitely reccomend it!
And for the record I can not for the life of me do it with an actual curling iron but can totally do it with the wand. I even watched you tube tutorials and could never figure it out lol
Whoos guess the link would help Remington CI95AC/2 Tstudio Salon Collection Pearl Digital Ceramic Curling Wand, 1/2 Inch – 1 Inch by Remington http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003V265QW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_TVOxtb10FZ9HM
Thanks!!! I should start inexpensive!
TWoP shutting down breaks my heart! But my very favorite recapper will be going on to write for Gawker, so that’s a plus. That #selfie song drives me crazy but I bet its like how we loved the “Barbie Girl” song back in the day.
I bet it is!
Who was your favorite??
The #100happydays is a project to not impress your friends but show yourself that you are happy. It strives to force you to find what makes you happy. You register at 100happydays.com and choose to either post pictures through some social media or you can be private and email them to the website. You send a picture each day for 100 days straight and at the end, are sent a booklet of all of the photos if you stuck with it. Its harder than you think to remember to do it everyday. I have tried it multiple times and also mess up in the 20’2 or 30’s. you should try it though. I bet you would like it.
On the nail polish, it kind of looks like a coral from the internet, if you are looking for a color hue.
Oh that’s cute that you get a booklet at the end! I would never be able to remember it everyday!
I bought my daughter the Bedhead curlipops 1 inch tapered wand for Xmas and she loves it. (she’s 14) I got it from Ulta with a coupon and so I paid less than the $29.99 price. HOWEVER–I tried using it myself and burned myself no less than 3 times–on my fingers, my arm (like a painful burn)……maybe it’s not meant for older women. lol. I think it takes some practice, I just don’t have the patience for it anymore and am afraid of it. Good Luck!
Yeah, I totally think there is a learning curve. I don’t know if I want to deal with that…
The couple that originally started TWOP (they sold it a couple years ago) now have previously.tv
Seriously good stuff. If you listen to podcasts they have a good one as well called Extra Hot Great
Ohh, I will need to check them out. Thank you!
They have a curling wand on livingsocial for $29, I watched some reviews on YouTube for it and keep debating if I have time to use it with three little ones. But I love the way they curl/wave hair.
That’s only question I have. Will I burn myself and do I even have time?
I have the wand which came in my Kelly Rowland box and I love it. It just takes some time getting used to them because their not like regular curlers.
Not at all like regular ones!
My friend used mine and had the glove on the wrong hand a kept burning her finger because she’s so used to holding the tip of the curlers. lol
I also just pickedp up an inexpensive wand from Kmart and love it! I had to look up a couple of YouTube videos but I have it down now with very fews burns! I have done my whole head of hair and have also just taken my hair down from a bun and curled the top few layers. I think it’s worth trying!
The burns honestly scare me the most. I am so not careful.
