Friday’s Letters

Dear ipsy, You guys should send out notifications when you add new items to the ipsyPoints shop! That would be easier than everyone having to just guess (and FYI there were some new items added last night).

Dear Canadians, I am so sad for you that Target is closing. If you need any Target goodies once they are gone, you just let me know and I will be happy to mail them to you! And also, is it crazy that I am thinking of making a run across the border to check out Canadian Target before they close? I mean we used to go across the border to go to the bars over there when we were 19, so why not cross over for Target?

Dear Radar Online, Okay, we get it, Teresa Giudice is in prison. Do we really need two to three updates a day on how she is managing without her hair extensions? The better question here may be why do I read Radar Online 2-3 times a day?

Dear Oscar Nominated Movies, As usual, I have never seen any of you. I don’t even know if you are all out yet? No matter because I probably wouldn’t have watched even if you were out on DVD. Except for American Sniper. Because Bradley Cooper.

Dear WB, Oh WB, you are something else. LOL. Your latest “thing” is to pretend you are asleep when you get in trouble. “WB did you throw that car?” Boom. Eyes closed, thumb in mouth. It’s hysterical. How you can keep a straight face I will never know.

Dear Door to Door Meat Salesman, I was this close to getting meat from you yesterday. This close. I feel like I should try it at least once to see if it’s as amazing as you tell me it is. And also, maybe I should find out where this meat comes from? That might be good to know.

Dear B, Congrats on winning the Chili Cook-Off at work!  You will have some high standards to live up to next year!

Dear L, I just cannot get over how much you have learned already this year.  Your reading is insane.  So so so impressive.

Dear Starbucks, I am coming to see you think weekend and try this “new” Flat White I am hearing about.  Some people love it, others not so much.  We’ll see!

    If you came to Canadian Target, you would see why they are closing. They really phoned it in when they moved stores up here.

    1. theramblingjen

      I am going to check it out!

  2. Tristian

    Oh my gosh My 2 1/2 year old does the same thing! He falls to the ground, curls up, eyes closed, and pretends to snore! So funny!!!

    1. theramblingjen

      It’s hysterical!!!

  3. Caitlin Cordero

    Thanks for the heads up about Ipsy! Redeemed my points for a body butter, better than nothing at all. Did you redeem for anything?

    Oh, and thanks for the heads up about the popsugar code, I caved and ordered! I was already trying to swap for the cup, so It just made sense. Oh, and I’m still totally FAILING at my New Years resolution about buying less with the popsugar purchase LOL (although I managed to hold out on the Zoya sale, phew).

    1. theramblingjen

      Yes! I got some hand creams! I love those.

  4. Kayleigh

    I like the flat white. I think it definitely depends on taste. I don’t mind drinking black coffee with nothing added and the flat white is not too far from that. I like it. It’s an option when I need to avoid one of their amazing sugary drinks.

    1. theramblingjen

      I need to learn to like plain coffee. Sadly I love the sugar too much.

  5. Lori

    I’m interested to hear what you think about the Flat White. I’ve seen it too and am tempted to try. In other random exciting news, because of your love for them, I ordered an Erin Condren Life Planner and received it yesterday. Sooooooo excited!

    1. theramblingjen

      That is exciting!!!! Do you like it so far? What cover did you get?

      1. Lori

        I do like it! Hopefully the picture I attached of my cover worked. I Need some organization in my life.

  6. Kayla Peterson

    The theory of everything is one of the best picture nominations and it was so good! I loved it!

  7. Pilar Buford

    I think if you just like plain coffee, then you will like the flat white.

  8. Stacey

    Yes, if you like sweet coffee drinks, you will not enjoy a flat white. I really liked it, but I also like plain coffee. Actually, I don’t discriminate. I’ll take my caffeine in a sugary latte or a plain black cup of coffee. haha

    1. theramblingjen

      I do like sweet coffee drinks. But I want to not like them so much if that makes sense.

  9. valerie

    Thank you so much for the heads up about ispy! I was finally able to use some points and got the cleansing cloths. I don’t have a ton of points so I normally don’t have enough to actually get anything.

    1. theramblingjen

      I really wish they would send out e-mails! I always forget to look!

  10. victoria

    All that came to mind with the Targets closing was “can you imagine all the clearance” LOL. Since working at Target, I go at least twice a week. LOL.

    1. theramblingjen

      I would be in so much trouble if I worked there!

    I’d advise against ordering meat from a door-to-door salesman. We had a really pushy guy come to our door not too long ago, making all kinds of claims about how their meat was better than Omaha Steaks. I didn’t like his attitude, so didn’t buy anything. Glad I didn’t, because I googled the company after he left and it’s a scam. They overcharge, give you poor grades of meat, and it’s almost impossible to cancel. Yikes!

    1. theramblingjen

      I need to find out the name of this company. We have had a few different ones I think?

  12. PA Anna

    I had no idea there was a door to door meat salesman. I wonder who he represented?

    1. theramblingjen

      I have no idea. He may have had his own farm for all I know? I am sure he’ll get back. My neighborhood gets ALL the door to door salespeople. It’s very odd. We get meat, art, furniture trucks, household cleaning supplies, you name it!

  13. Mrs. L

    If you like regular lattes (ie you don’t add sugar) you’ll love the Flat White. The simple way it was explained to me is a regular latte…you pour in coffee, then add steamed milk on top of that and a bit of foam. With the Flat White…you pour in coffee, then you add WHOLE milk that has been steamed longer (which means it gets creamier and a bit sweeter) and then you “mix” it with the coffee. All I know is that it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Alas cuz you can’t make it with nonfat milk (and most stores can’t even do decaf), it will cost you in the calorie department. But for me? I’ll give up a coffee a day to have one Flat White a week. Yeah, these stupid marketing people got me and I’m hooked.

  14. Diana Garza

    I literally LOL’d when I read about WB pretending to fall asleep when he gets in trouble! So cute!!!

    1. theramblingjen

      It’s hysterical. Who can stay mad at that? Not me!

  15. Traci Ann

    I really want the mug from PSMH, but I hate PSMH. I also don’t need a mug. AH

    1. theramblingjen

      LOL!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Ashley Currin

    What exactly IS this flat white you speak of?!
    As for Canadian Target … I would head that way just to see if they had any decent going out of business clearance!

    1. theramblingjen

      It’s the latest Starbucks drink! I think it’s just like expresso with a latter of milk or something? I have no idea!

  17. Sara Blinder

    What Breanne said. Canadian Targets were not anything like what I heard the Americon ones were like. They were pretty disappointing for the most part.

    1. theramblingjen

      I am totally going to go and check it out. There’s one right across the border!

  18. Lorns

    I was going to say door to door meat sale men sounds weird but we have a ‘fish man’ come round once a week with fresh fish which is amazing (he gets it from the harbours that morning and has a refrigerated van etc) so maybe I shouldn’t doubt! Btw I sent you an email about the Starbuck Alice and Olivia mug, my friend couldn’t find it in store so if you could send me one I would be most grateful (and of course will hook your boys up with Kinder Eggs!!)

    1. theramblingjen

      I tried to e-mail you back, but it might not have went through. Those mugs are sold out ;(. They sold out online in just a few days I think. They were never in stores ;(.

  19. Jennifer Holzmeyer Louthan

    Going through your posts since I’m home watching the game and just grabbed some Ipsy goodies. I was surprised that there were any still left. Excited for more ipsy mail. 🙂 Thanks

    1. theramblingjen

      Yay! I cannot wait to read about your trip!
