What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. š I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
and

I'm glad you were able to at least get a few of those Bonne Bell items. Hopefully some other company will buy them out and continue to produce their big selling items.
ReplyDeleteOf the two movies we got, I find that I can't stop thinking about the Hector and the Search for Happiness. It is actually a very entertaining movie and I have a lot to say but don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it though.
I'm hoping they'll continue to manufacture that line. I know the company that bought them is going to likely still produce Lip Smackers but I don't know if the Lip Lites and those eye shadows will be saved. Fingers crossed!
DeleteI liked Hector too though I felt a little trailer duped as I thought it was supposed to be a little more lighthearted but it was still good overall.
I use a mix and match approach to make-up. I use Almay Smartshade but the prices keep going up and up and up. This weekend I found it buy one get one half off plus the store had a $5 off coupon so I bought 2. I can't use one brand of eye shadow because it makes my eyes swell, but of course I can't remember which one it is, I just recognize the packaging and don't buy it. Blush and eye shadow I just buy whatever is in the color I need and don't worry too much about brand.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed at least one of your movies. I agree that James Marsden is yummy - he's one I'd watch pretty much whatever he's in.
You've got to grab those deals when you can get them. Since I work from home, I don't wear makeup nearly as much but I cringe every time I have to buy something like face powder or foundation because the prices are INSANE! If I could make my own makeup, I would. I don't know how they get away with their pricing and I'm talking about the little guys like Covergirl much less anything in department stores.
DeleteI use Estee Lauder. Yes I know its outrageously priced, however it lasts a really long time and the foundation actually blends in instead of sitting on my face looking like a mask.
ReplyDeleteIf it lasts a long time and blends naturally, I'm sure the cost evens out over time. (At least that's what I'd tell myself! LOL)
DeleteI did not know about Bonnie Bell closing up shop! I've always liked their lip glosses (I have multiple lip balms all over the house, my purse, my desk at work). I'll have to check out the local stores here to see if there's anything left in stock. Sometimes I'll find that brand at Dollar Tree, so I'll look there too. I've had a few hair products that I've hoarded and there was an eye gel from Clinique that I always got for free that has since changed the formula and it's more of a cream -- blech. They ruined it for me. On a food note, there was the very BEST meatloaf mix from Lawry's that my mom used since the day I was born that I used up to three years ago. They discontinued it and it broke my heart. There are so many people I know who were just crushed when it went away because it was a favorite around here for decades. Meatloaf is just meh now and it'll never be the same for me. Sigh.....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was horrified when I saw that. I'm hoping they don't stop making the stuff I like but I saw the big box store I went to already had all of the stuff clearanced and it was picked over. Grrrr. I'll have to check Dollar Tree. I hate it when places change a formula. Ugh.
DeleteSucks about the meatloaf mix. You get used to that and all you can do is try to find a picture of the back of the packet to see if you can recreate the taste based on the ingredients.
My bestie JUST texted me that Best of Me is on vid (she saw it in theaters and told me I should see it. emotional, big sad ending or something). She said the commercial announcing that it's on vid says that they changed the ending! I wanna see the orig ending. No do overs. No take backsies!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested to hear your take on Best of Me. I heard they changed the ending but I didn't read the book so I don't know how it originally ended anyway. It became very apparent before the event...at least for me it did. I think I'd want a version with the original ending and then their Hollywood ending.
