~Good morning! We are all recovering from a busy weekend this morning. We went to IKEA with my parents on Saturday morning to help them haul some bunkbeds and ended up getting L a desk. He’s been needing / wanting one, so we found a cute one that we thought would work and surprised him with it. He was off in the kid play area and hanging out with my parents and didn’t even once ask what we bought. LOL. He didn’t even ask what B was building when we got home. Once he found out though he was THRILLED. He thinks it’s the coolest!
~Subscriptions boxes. Hmm, what’s coming this week? Citrus Lane, BarkBox, Your Bijoux Box, ipsy, BuddhiBox, Beauty Box 5 and a handful of others. I have a ton of reviews to catch up on, so a slow week would be nice. The December POPSUGAR box should be coming soon too, but I haven’t gotten a shipping notice and don’t see them in my FedEx / USPS accounts anywhere, so who knows?
~Speaking of POPSUGAR, did you see their amazing Friends & Family coupon code? They are offering $15 off a 1-month subscription (coupon code “DEC15“), $25 off a 3-month subscription (coupon code “DEC25“) and $75 off a 6-month subscription (coupon code “DEC75“). There have been a lot of questions with these codes and it appears they you CAN use them a current account, however, it will start you with a fresh subscription that will begin with the December box. It will not tack on the 6 months (or whatever you purchase) to the end of your subscription. This 6-month code is the best POPSUGAR deal you’ll ever get, so take advantage. The codes expire on 12.15.15 so use them fast!
~This week is shaping up to be pretty busy too! I need to get Christmas shopping (I like to wait till the last minute), get my Christmas cards out the door and get my storage closet sorted and cleaned out. I ordered my cards from Tiny Prints and got the cards and the envelopes, but am waiting on the envelope liners? I *thought* the envelopes would just come with the buffalo plaid lining, but I guess it’s some inset thing you do yourself. I’m pretty sure ordering these just created more work for me. LOL! They are super cute though so hopefully it’s worth it.
~This is super random, but I am in need of some new sheets and want to know what everyone’s favorites are? Nothing too expensive, but I want them to feel like they are super expensive! LOL!!!
That’s all from here! What do you have going on today / this week? What subscription boxes are you expecting?
Jennifer Adams sheets are great if they fit your mattress. They’re microfiber and super soft. Amazon and Costco (Jenniferadams.com has a list of what Costco and when) are two options.
Thank you! I will look into them!
Your Christmas card is so adorable!
Thank you!!!!
I currently have CuddleDuds flannel sheets on my bed…super soft and comfy.
Did you see???? Teen Mom OG is back January 4th! I can’t wait!
OMG yes. I cannot wait. I *might* have to mark it in my planner. LOL!
I agree with Desiree- if you’re looking for flannel, Cuddle Duds are the best! I got mine from Kohl’s on sale and with coupon. My favorite regular high thread count sheets are from the Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store in their clearance area. They’re Ralph Lauren. Sold as separates, they don’t match but they were an incredible deal & they are SO soft. I had read a lot about sheets that rip after the first wash (or soon after) that I hate to pay a lot for them. But both of those have lasted & are really the best ones I’ve ever had
I don’t think I can do flannel. Although, I haven’t tried flannel sheets in years so I suspect that they are better than what I am thinking of????
Love my flannel from target, cozy, not hot. Charter club cotton and west elm cotton work really well for me!
I could set the house colder at night and maybe do flannel… I do like the plaid sets I am seeing…
I bought these http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/martha-stewart-whim-collection-novelty-print-200-thread-count-percale-sheet-sets-only-at-macys?ID=1747274&CategoryID=60363&LinkType=#fn=BED_AND_BATH_TYPE%3DSheets%26PAGEINDEX%3D1%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D24%26slotId%3D1
because I wanted something fun and ridiculous. I love them. they’re not terribly luxurious however it’s really hard to find 100% cotton sheets that are ‘fun’
oh – I got the zebra ones.
I love the teal
If only I could talk B into that! LOL. How is N?? Are things settling down?
Target’s Organic cotton sheets are the best and they are perfect for every season.
(Threshold? 300 Thread Count Organic Cotton Sheet Set)
I think other people have mentioned those in the past too??? I need to look into those as well. You’d think I would already have Target sheets!
I kind of want to snag the PopSugar 6 month deal but I don’t really want December’s box! I only really like the lipstick and kind of the box for that one. But it’d be like $24/month with the deal and that’s a pretty good price.
I need new sheets too. For some reason, that’s one item I really lack. I’ve got 2 sets for my bed, which doesn’t seem like enough. I want to get a down/down alternative comforter too, but it’d have to be really big because we have a king sized bed and my boyfriend hogs the blankets.
Still haven’t sent out my Christmas cards and I highly doubt I will. I should though, even if only to my aunts and uncles.
Since I only get birchbox, and already got December’s, I’m all done. The tiny Jane Iredale lipstick is so cute and it’ll look great once my lips aren’t so chapped.
I did get my ROASM Secret Santa gift. 🙂 I will try to get a picture up sometime today.
Yeah I have like 8 million towels and two sets of sheets! It’s so odd!
Yay for a desk. We just got N one too and he is beyond excited. Oh that reminds me I want to look and get him a desk set for Christmas. Off to look online and shop now 🙂
Did you find one?
No nothing that didn’t look too old or too babyish for him. They are at such a hard age for this kindof thing. I’m going to keep looking and maybe just surprise him one day if I can find a good one.
L.L. Bean’s 280 thread count Pima cotton Percale sheets. High quality at a price that will be hard to beat. Sounds like what you’re looking for. Don’t dismiss these because the thread count seems too low to be of good quality. Give them a try and you will see.
I will totally check those out! They send a lot of coupons too!
We had the Jennifer Adams ones from Costco (still use the duvet cover regularly) but I didn’t love the sheets themselves. I need 100% cotton (not microfiber) for that.
