Golden Tote for Feb 2014

It finally arrived! I placed my order Feb 6th and received the package today, the 20th. 

Now, being a first time purchaser, I went for the $49 tote. It would have 2-3 items. One you choose, the rest a surprise. It comes in this nifty golden tote canvas bag. 

Inside: 

The top I chose

The other goodies:

A light knit sweater

 

And a scarf. It's soft and wonderful with a butterfly pattern! 

The top I chose is wonderful! It's soft and cool. The second top, the sweater, is cozy. Though the way it's put together is interesting. It's like the front is a giant scarf that overlap each other to make the rest of the sweater.

Overall, I'm thrilled with my bag! With winter weather on the way after this gorgeous spring like week I've had, the sweater and scarf will come in handy! 

More Target Clearance

Today I ventured into Target for mayonnaise that I saw on clearance last week. A whole end cap of Hellmanns olive oil mayo reduced to a buck something. Gone. All gone. Luckily I found other things to purchase! Ha! 

The brands were Burt's Bees and Yes to blueberries. Both marked down 50%. Both were bonus items, as in the had an extra goodie attached. 

Monogrammed burlap flag!

Today my burlap flag came in the mail! It was due tomorrow, but arrived early! It arrived via USPS, in a sleek box. Inside the box it contained: 

It's also wrapped in a thick plastic wrap. So no damage would occur if something were to leak through. 

Out of the box. 

Hanging on our door! 

The maker has other options available. She's on etsy and amazon! 

Save Your Wool Sweater!

Do any of you have the problem of balls of wool on your sweaters or coat? Like so:

That's my pea coat from Old Navy. 

Last year while visiting my parents, my mom had mentioned being disappointed about a cardigan she purchased from Banana Republic. I went in search for this cardigan in the guest bedroom closet. There it hung, looking normal to me, until I took it out and saw all the fuzzies. So I went into the bathroom and took an old razor out and started to shave the cardigan. It takes a bit of time, but it's worth it. Some spots I had to go in multiple directions to remove the fuzz from the material. 

Results: 

The shavings that come off: 

Instead of picking off the shavings for my coat I decided to vacuum them off. So the clumps looked more like this. 

Target clearance finds

I like a good bargain! I think it's something I picked up in college when what little money I had went to school, gas, and food. Today, I found a rare gem at Target. While cruising the many clearance items I spotted in the front aisle of the bedding stuff clearance flannel sheet sets. I doubted they'd have a king set but looked anyway. Low and behold they had one! For $17.48, regardless of size! 

The next goodie was an Aveeno dandruff control shampoo. Dandruff becomes an issue for me during the winter and when my hair gets to a decent length. 

Other goods my husband and I found were little kid clothes. They marked down some cool things. We may not have kids but our nephew and nieces can look cool. Curious George, TMNT, batman, etc at $5 or less. 

We also checked out the dollar section. They have now have travel sizes for high end products ie: yes to carrots, tide, dove, eos. Which is totally awesome because I noticed the manufacturer included coupons to purchase full size items on some of these brands. One item I had to try. It's by eos, shave cream and it can be used either dry or wet. We'll see how this works out! Happy clearance shopping!
