Happy Birthday to Me, or, Strangest Birthday Present Ever

Is it strange for me to lust after dried beans?  I think it’s odd, even for me.  But ever since I learned about Rancho Gordo probably 4 years ago I’ve been daring myself to order what food bloggers world round promise are the best dried beans in these parts.  I talk myself out of it [...]

All Three Seasons of (one of) the best cancelled shows ever for under $30

Amazon’s “Gold Box Deal” (no, it’s not a 24K gold grill for down there) is the completed series of Arrested Development (all three seasons) for $28.99.  You’ll also qualify for free delivery guaranteed by Dec. 24.  Apparently there’s a time limit (as of now, at 3:32 pm, you have 11 hours).   Anyway, it’s a pretty [...]

Get yourself a shave, boy!

Going crazy trying to figure out a present for your man?  Yeah, me too.  I’ve got some iders, but still haven’t figured out the perfect gift.  I know Christmas isn’t supposed to be about gifts, it’s about being together and quality time, etc. etc. But whatever, I’m going to get my husband a present.  A [...]

Then there were high heel Crocs. And they were uglier yet.
It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I do NOT feel fine!

Random Round Up

1. Remember The Limited? If you spent any significant amount of your teenage years at the mall you surely do. I can’t remember the last time I shopped there but this weekend gives me good incentive – it’s family and friends weekend, everyone gets 30% off. I think you have to have [...]

Most excellent summer dinner

This is not a recipe and there is nothing earth shattering here – it’s mostly a gussied up caprese plate.  But dear goodness was it mighty delicious last night!  I had to go on a quest for fresh mozzarella – I tried the Italian market mentioned below on Sunday – of course it was closed [...]

Mom’s day is a coming

I get the double whammy – my mom’s b-day is always around Mother’s Day (May 13).  Luckily, Origins is offering 25% and free standard shipping in order to make my double gift burden a little easier (and, maybe a treat for myself).  The sale ends today, promo code is 0508FF.

Happy Friday, go buy stuff

Like half-off consignment designer stuff. The Junior League of Atlanta is having an “upscale” consignment sale. Saturday is half-off day. I’ve never been to one of these and I’m not affiliated with the Junior League – not that I have anything against the Junior League, I’m just wanted to make sure the [...]

Origins – free shipping

The wonderful Jill reminded me about Origins, another skin care line that tends to get rave reviews and very devoted users. I have yet to try their products, especially since I’ve been liking the Mario Basedcu line, but I’m quickly becoming a product whore and am looking forward to trying their products.
While Origins offers [...]
