What Am I Not Buying Today? Damn Budget!

I still go online shopping every day, but I resist adding to my cart.  Sometimes I even add it to my cart and then close out the website.  I have a real problem.  But, I thought I'd share the things I found today that I really, really wanted.

Killer Boots - $29.99 at Zulily

Acai and Tagua Bracelet -  $15.99 at Zulily

Instant Iron-ons - $16 at Fred Flare

Profanity Coasters - $32 at Etsy

20. Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood.

1. There was only one time that I got spanked as a kid, and boy did I deserve it.  I was at daycare and my friend invited me to leave with her family and go to the beach.  I asked the daycare lady and she instructed me to call my mom and ask, well mom didn't answer the phone.  So little, menacing Alicia decided to fake a phone conversation and say that mom said it's okay.  Fast forward 4 hours later when I get dropped off at home and pretty much my entire family was at my house freaking out.  My parents didn't know where I was, who I was with or if I was alive. My mom spanked me pretty hard and I deserved it!!!  She came in later to apologize, which I think is so funny.  But, I did learn to not do anything that stupid again.
2. My favorite vacation with my family had to have been when we went to California to stay with my uncle Henry.  On said trip, we visited Sea World, Disney Land, Knots Berry Farms, Tijuana and I'm sure a whole lot more.  The coolest thing is that my uncle's cousin filmed the whole trip, so we can go back and reminisce about the times.  It was a magical trip with the family full of laughs, farts, Michael Jackson impressions, longest chess game ever, my sister torturing me and so much more.
3. Me and my sister used to take the bus everywhere, the mall, the bowling alley, to the thrift store, etc.  One day the bus brought us to Drug Emporium where they were having a grand opening.  It was filled with all kinds of fun and there was a radio station there broadcasting, a big freaking deal for little old Everett.  Seems so weird now, times have changed.  They were having a bubble blowing contest and I entered and won!  I got to talk on the radio, which at middle school age is pretty damn cool.  Also, I won a year supply of Bubblicious.  I was so sick of that gum by the end of a year.  It was a crazy, memorable experience for a kid of my age.

I have so many amazing, funny and significant childhood memories, these are just the first three that came to my head.

I'm On An Online Deal Diet As Of Now

I came home from vacation to a ginormous pile of boxes!  It was super exciting. But, I've gone overboard, I admit it, I have an addiction.

I frequent the following online deal sites (yes, please check them out so I'm not alone in this):

1. Fab
2. Zulily
3. Living Social
4. Groupon
5. Woot
6. Bloomspot
7. Amazon Deals
8. HauteLook

My Amazon order, the most exciting part is the candy molding stuff.  Still waiting on my owl molds.

My amazing giraffe print knives.  They make me feel so wild!  Rahr.

I can't wait to wear these out!  Daylon, my most hipster-est friend of all time, made these an started an Etsy shop.  When I found out about the shop, I had to have them.

My new shoes; can't wait for my sister to make fun of them.  They're so freaking comfortable though.  

My cat is a little fatty; I take full responsibility.  But, now she gets exercise with this amazing laser spinny number.  It is so incredible to watch her chase it around.  I kind of feel bad because she's never going to be able to catch it.

I'm pretty sure I have several more boxes on the way.  But, for now I'm deleting all emails from the above sites!  No joke.  It is going to be so hard.  

Friday Night Product Search: Weekend Wanderings

Just doing what I do best, searching around the inter-web finding amazing products that I want to buy.  I haven't purchased any of these products YET.  There was one dress that I was about to buy but it's sold out; they will email me when they are back in stock:)  Here we GO...

Sephora - Here's what made me drool today at this amazing store

Nails Inc, London Sprinkles Nail Polish, $9.50:  They look like sprinkles, mixing my love for pretty things and food.  Unfortunately, I can't wear any polish due to working in a food plant.  

Urban Decay Naked 2 Eye Shadow Palette, $50:  You can't ever go wrong with Urban Decay.  They always have the most amazing sparkly shadows.  

Etsy - The site that makes us all wish we were a little bit craftier

Tragus Cuff, that requires no piercing, brought to you by ZyDesign:  I've always wanted a tragus piercing.  There are two things that prevent that for me, work (no earrings), and that I'm a major wuss.  This is the perfect solution for me and anyone else that thinks this piercing is cute.

Tropical Coconut Lip Scrub brought to you by BellaLume Spa on Etsy, $6:  Supposedly you use this after a day in the sun. It's supposed to last for several months.  Worth a shot for sure.  I bet it smells delicious.
