Am a Fan (Late Spring Edition)

Once again, I am copying my friend Marta's Am a Fan series and sharing my latest loves:

Chick-fil-a wraps.  These babies come with an avocado lime ranch dressing that I could drink by itself.  Add a Diet Lemonade and a large waffle fry and I am in Heaven.

Selling stuff on Ebay.  I just started and I am hooked.  I am selling everything from shoes to PBK bedding.  My used Lululemon workout clothes are selling for more than I paid for them originally.  The shipping situation still throws me for a loop but I am figuring it out.

Harmon's post office:  I am shipping a lot of stuff lately (see above.)  My mom just put me on to the post office inside Harmon's.  They have everything the real post office has without that super grouchy dude working at the Draper location.  You know who I am talking about.  I used to wait extra long to get the other lady working there just to avoid him.  Now I can avoid him all the time and the lines and hit the post office at Harmon's. 

Loft Sunwashed Tees:  Some people swear by Old Navy V-neck tees.  My favorite tees are from Loft.  They are soft, they fit well and you can get them 40% off almost all the time.

Pizzeria Limone: At Christmas time, my friend Mariah introduced me to Pizzeria Limone in Fort Union.  The place has tasty wood-oven pizzas, good salads, gelato, and every one's favorite fountain drink mixer extraordinaire.  It is delicious.  And now we are getting one in Sandy right by my brand new McD's!

Old Navy Work Out Clothes:  Old Navy has been putting out some awesome moisture wicking work out clothes lately. They have some great Lululemon looking knock-off items.  I love their compression capris, bra-tops and bright tanks.

The Mindy Project:  This is Mindy Kaling's show.  Remember when I told you how funny her book is?  Her show is just as funny.  She makes me laugh out loud.  Warning--Sometimes it can be a little crude.  It is on Fox.  DVR it!

 

Am a Fan

My friend Marta has an amazing blog. A reoccurring post she does on her blog is called "Am a Fan" and she lists her latest loves. I am copying her today.

Am a fan of Bath and Body Works holiday scent soaps. Especially Citrus Garland.

Am a fan of McDonald's holiday mint Mcflurry. Delicious. Egg nog...not so much.

Am a fan of my new black and white skirt from Ann Taylor.  I even got it on sale.  Someday I will wear something besides black and white to church!

Am a fan of Zurchers coming to Draper! (11400 South and State)

Am a fan of my new Conair curling wand. What on earth was I doing trying to do beachy waves with the old clamp style curling iron. This is 1000x easier.

Am a fan of SequinsandStilettos, a fashion blog. I think she has great real-life affordable outfits for moms.

Am a fan of Chili's again! When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. And I was wrong about Chili's. Have you had their chips and salsa? And Quesadilla Explosion salad?  And Molten Chocolate Cake? I went on a date there and I am sold!!

Am a fan of selling toys on KSL. I have made about 150 bucks selling old toys from my basement. Super easy. Now I need to learn to sell on Ebay.

Am a fan of Expressionary.com. I ordered my mom a stamp for her birthday and she was thrilled..You can get 35% off right now by using code "VLEX12".  This is a great gift idea for that person who has everything. (Linda Warner I am looking at you!)

Am a fan of blogging! I just hit my four year blogiversary. Don't send gifts. That would just be weird. Remember my first post!

Good-bye Old Friend

Back in November, Bath and Body Works brought out the best smelling soap of all time. I foolishly only bought one bottle and by the time I figured out I was hopelessly addicted to the stuff, they had sold out. I checked back regularly through the whole Christmas season to no avail. So it was with heavy heart that I lathered up my hands with the last small bit of Frosted Orange Spice today. Good-bye old friend. Everyone start fasting and praying that B&BW will bring her back again this fall.

Update: Sara saved the day! I am the Ebay queen--why didn't I think of checking there? More Frosted Orange Spice is on its way to my door. I don't want to do the math on what I'm paying per bottle (with shipping) compared to what I paid the first time around but I'm getting it!

What I'm Lovin' Right Now

First and foremost--the glorious fall weather...and the gorgeous red and orange trees. My yard looks it's best in the fall and that's saying something.

Second, Kneaders artichoke portabello soup--pure comfort food. Enjoy with a turkey, bacon, avocado on focaccia and a diet coke. Get a cream cheese brownie for dessert. Clearly, I will be packing on the L Bs for the winter.


Third, impactfitnesswear.com. Seriously folks--the best work out clothes I have ever worn, hands down. Plus they are dang cute. If you live in the greater SL area, I beg you to make an appointment with Megan and go to her studio at her home. She was down to earth, helpful, and non intimidating and I am in love with my new stuff. I am a big believer in buying nice workout clothes that you love--then you will love to work out.




Fourth, The tv show Glee. Maybe it's just because it's new and different. But I can't get enough. I love the songs, I love the dancing. The cheerleading coach steals the show and I love Will's wife too--all great, all hilarious.


Fifth and Finally, Snapfish Christmas Cards. I love the look of nice stationary quality Christmas cards from Tiny Prints. I was all geared up to order mine from there when I got an email from Snapfish announcing that they now carry stationary photo cards--and guess what--They are half the price of Tiny Prints! I downloaded my pictures and ordered mine in about 10 minutes. They already came and I love them.
Come December, I will be sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of hot cho and patting myself on the back for my discriminating taste and exceptional forethought in ordering early. Go check it out. Use coupon code Fall2009 for a 35% discount (expires Nov 2.) The best part is, there is no additional fee to have pictures on the back of the card--I have six small pictures of my family. You can also personalize the card with your family names, etc.
