coupon binder.

i spent the better part of yesterday early evening and after the kids went to bed organizing a coupon binder for myself. my dream is to take some pictures of it and explain how i will use it for you all, because (i don't know about you) i was being swallowed up by the clutter that loose coupons everywhere was creating. i had coupons here and there and in there and down there and over there and still at the computer. now, all my coupons are in one place, and the best part? it's now portable and highly organized. i have a spot for everything, and even more available spots for the things that i haven't even thought of. yay for organization!!

some fun stuff at buehler's.

two things to post about here from buehler's:

1) i happened to spot some syrups in the coffee aisle that looked just right for making italian sodas. i had one at the lodi station on sunday when i went to pick up the future engineer kit i won on facebook, and took note of how they were made... pausing mentally to almost-ask if the syrups were for sale... you know, the whole big bottle they use for flavoring coffees and drinks. well, as i was shopping at buehler's, i noticed that there in the middle of the aisle, a bunch of bottles are set up on display and what were they? the syrups, like i said. anyways, on with the post. mix about 1 to 2 T. of your fave flavor of syrup, (mine was strawberry) with enough plain club soda to fill a glass. instantly italian, for waaaay less. i put mine in a really fun glass i have, and then pretend that i am somewhere in italy, sipping it while sitting on an outdoor terrace... whatever. you can pretend whatever you want. :)

2) i have been seeing posting's on my fave savings blog (hip2save.com) about a cosmetic company called e.l.f. (eyes lips face) that sells everything for a dollar. that's right, one buck. i was strolling through buehler's after picking up my prescription, and happened upon the cosmetics aisle, which actually is pretty awesome (for a grocery store). i saw a rack devoted to e.l.f. cosmetics and tools, and i started flipping through it. in short, i got a mirrored compact, a new eyelash curler, an all-over-color stick (blush, lipstick, eyeshadow), a mascara that has two ends (waterproof and regular), and something else that escapes me at the moment, all for 5 bucks. i also noticed that they had stuff by tom's of maine, kiss my face, and some really awesome huge handmade-looking soaps for pretty cheap. who knew that buehler's might be my next best make-up destination?

almost famous!!

but not quite yet... that will come on friday. ;)

check out the post here on the blog for "shop your closet", which introduces you to me and my wardrobe. it was in sad shape, having been all but neglected since the birth of my first baby. being a deal shopper, i would pick up things here and there for myself (you know, like a 2 dollar tee shirt from old navy), sort of ignoring whether it was flattering on me. well, i'm done with that. i will be, from here on out, actually taking the time to try things on, and ask opinions from others on whether or not it's a keeper. susan and betsy gave me a good jump-start into realizing that my wardrobe can once again be fabulous... and i deserve to be fabulous as well! :)

you can follow along on their blog this week, and then watch the robin swoboda show at 10am this friday on fox 8 for the big reveal. you can witness the process that i went through, and get started on getting yourself into full-fledged fabulousness!

the big news.

the big news around here (i know, it's kinda sad that this is considered BIG) is that gymboree is opening an outlet in lodi. the website still says that it opens tomorrow (3/3). it will be located right next to children's place, thus sealing our children's clothing "trifecta" all in a row of gymboree, children's place, and carters. yippee!

here is a children's place coupon

here is a carters coupon... it expires tomorrow



**thanks to missy who was on the "front line" today and attempted using the coupon for gymboree outlet. i thought that the code for the coupon was universal, as that same coupon came up in several spots on the web. evidentally, they said that the code had already been used, and gave her a hard time for using it, but still gave her the 15% off. my apologies to missy, and to anyone else who had trouble using it...
