And that’s it! I hope you all have a fabulous Easter Weekend!
Recently my husband started taking college classes again, and as we went about purchasing the textbooks, I was reminded of just how expensive some of the books can be. I was excited the other day when I learned about Campus Book Rentals.
This site allows you to save money on textbooks by renting them as opposed to buying them. Previously I had heard of renting ebooks, but this is the first site I’ve learned about which actually lets you rent a physical copy of the book you need and then ship it back when your class is over.
This week we’ve got a fantastic giveaway from Jamberry Nails. They offer nail shields in a number of fun colors, patterns, and styles. You can find a nail shield to match literally any outfit in your closet.
They have everything from florals and houndstooth to damasks and polka dots. And each set is just $15.
You don’t have to be around me long to find out that I LOVE ice cream, milk shakes, and generally any kind of frozen treat! And for me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hundred degrees outside or twenty degrees. For me, there’s never a bad time for a frozen drink!
Recently I decided to make a milkshake that was a little more healthy, than the usual ice cream and chocolate syrup combo. The result is a tasty snack that’s actually fit for breakfast! That’s right! Milkshakes for breakfast!
Lately we’ve been having the best weather imaginable! Last week my husband and I went out, and I was thrilled to be sportin’ my capris, a tank top, and flip flops for the first time this year! As I said to my husband at the time, “Life is good.” And to make things even better, I was wearing a a brand new top that I received from Fresh Produce.
Fresh Produce has a lot of great looks for spring in casual fashion, and they have something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a Sunday dresses, capri pants, summer pants or something to wear to the beach this summer.

As the spring and summer months roll around and we get to working on outdoor and home improvement projects, you may find yourself in need of a little help The other day I ran across this great site, HireaHelper.com.
It’s a place where you can find movers, day laborers, cleaners. For example, if you are in New York City, and you want to find New York City Movers, you just type in your zipcode and the day you are needing help, and then you click “compare prices,” and a list of service providers will come up for you.
