Happy Weekend!

The week really flew by  - so hard to believe we are in November and the Holidays are just around the corner. 

Birchbox never ceases to amaze me.  I got an e-mail stating a product I love, Yarok Feed Your Ends,  is back in stock.  It is $19.80.  I jumped right on because I knew I had a code for being with Birchbox for 21 months - that's right, you get a code all the time - 20% off.  I had about $10 in points too.  I am an Ace so I get free shipping all the time.  That made it about $6 for this hair product to be shipped to me.  This is why I am still a BB subscriber after 21 months!  There is not a sub box out there with this type of program - you get points for reviewing, buying, referring, for just getting a box every month.  Those points turn into cash to spend in their store - and their store is fantastic.  It's not just makeup, skin and hair products - there are kitchen items, candles, clothes, and so many other items. 

My planner addiction is beyond control!  I love all the goodies - washi tape, sticky notes, pens, page flags, stickers, paperclips, and more!  Target $1 spot has revamped - it is Spot's Playground now and there are some amazing items in it!  Stuff you can give for Christmas presents - for $1 and $3!  Go check it out.  I had fun sorting through all the goodies.  I got some cute ornaments, stickers, erasers, gift tags, and stocking stuffers.

Etsy shopping is so easy it is addicting.  There are so many cute shops out there and I love the ones that give you little extras with your order.   I ordered these cute Kawaii animal pens and she sent me two paperclips and a note pad set.   How sweet was that?  Planner Hauls is the Etsy shop - go get these pens - affordable and adorable!

I have been on the hunt to increase my planner family with an A5 - I have three personal size - two from Webster's Pages and a Filofax.  But I have really been eyeing the A5 size.  I think I finally decided to get the Simple Stories Carpe Diem set.  Not just because of the planner but the inserts that are included are just beautiful.  Deciding on the color is going to be so hard!  I love the coral, the aqua, and the platinum!  I am leaning toward the aqua because that is the color I have wanted from the start of my planner obsession.

Have a great weekend!  Link your planner blog below so I can check it out!

Saturday and Sundays are my Favorite!

It has been a long week and I was happy to get to the weekend!  

I had a mini haul run Friday night and I am excited to share all of my goodies!  

First I hit the Dollar Tree on the lookout for these clips that planner girls use in their travel notebooks to help hold the books flat so you can decorate or journal.  Someone online mentioned they had seen them by the registers and there they were.  I picked up two bags just in case - and also to pass them on to other planner girls I know.

I also went down the sticker aisle to check on the new ones.  They had restocked the owls I looked for last time I was there.

My little nephew is a sticker collector too so I grabbed him a few sheets.

I found some Halloween stickers in boxes that another planner girl had mentioned would decorate a planner really well since they are so small.  I will also add these to my candy bowl at Halloween.

The stickers fit perfectly in my little planner card holder from The Planner Society Kit.

I love that you can grab tons of goodies at the Dollar Tree and not spend much.  I am excitedly waiting for a Tutti Frutti planner kit from Happie Scrappie and picked up these note pads to go with the kit.

I spent under $12 on all of these goodies. (The notepads are not in the photo.)  I check out the Dollar Tree every couple weeks on that search for Washi tape but I have never found any there.

Target is another one of my favorite places to shop when I just want to walk around and see what is new in the store.

Of course, the Dollar Spot is the first place I check out in Target - I have heard a rumor that they are doing away with this section! WHAT>?????  I will not like this at all - I find some great planner goodies in this section.  I grabbed this larger file folder to hold my larger sticker pages.  I have the smaller one for my die-cuts.

There is a new plaid collection and they have these adorable initial mugs.  So happy they had this pretty blue - the photo does not do that blue justice.

I am always on the lookout for a cart similar to the Raskog cart by IKEA but still have not found one - someone online had mentioned getting one for $20 there.  No luck at my Target but I did find these white tins for organizing when I do get a cart.

Halloween Washi tape!  I have been looking all over for this tape.  They had one roll left and I grabbed it up!

I started the Listers Gotta List challenge again for October and I needed a notebook to start listing.  I love the notebook section at Target.  They are really fun and have lots of choices.  This one has blue colored pages.  There is a notebook there too that is a listers book with prompts - so on my wishlist.

I also found the pineapple little 1 inch notebook I have been looking for at Target.  They had inserts for it that I picked up as well but I am going to look around for some cuter ones.

I am still decorating my office and I found some fox canvas art.  My office has been mostly the mint color in the art but I want to add some yellows.

I had a fun time perusing Target for all these great products.

FRIDAY!

Loving that this is Friday and I have the whole weekend to create, plan, and shop!  I did go out to the Chanrio site and make myself one.  I was a bit disappointed I could not find red hair.  Maybe I was not looking in the right place, I do not know.   This is me - blue eyes, earrings, a cute necklace and a coffee cup in my hand.

I have really been getting into the world of Planners lately.  I had know clue how extensive this world can be - there are more planners out there than I ever realized.  I started about two years ago with a personal Filofax that I bought on Amazon. 

I discovered Midori's too - and that many people have taken their own spin on these - you can not only get leather ones, but there are plastic, paper, and cloth ones.  This is my holy grail item right now - a Confetti-dori from this woman in Australia.   Teddi's Etsy shop only opens every time she is ready to sew more for everyone. 

There is also this fun thing called Listers that started in groups of planner societies - You get a prompt of what to make a list of for the month.   Reset Girl started this one I am currently doing.   I am hoping to have my MIL make me a dori to put these books in.

Target back to school section was a fun place to find goodies this year.  I found this lovely pencil bag that I am using to keep my personal Filofax in.  It is so pretty!

 

I also found these great fox folders - which I am using to sort my lists and projects.

I have fallen in love with Washi tape and look for it in every store I go in - this is my red collection.

The Planner Society is a good place to find information and look for products.  I made a folder for my Filofax from one of their videos on Youtube.

Christy also goes into how to make Washi tape cards to put in your planner.   I like the idea of not having to carry my Washi tape faves around with my planner. 

 

 So those are things I have been crafting and buying lately.  Have you found any new hobbies you are excited about?

 

Target Honor Roll Beauty Box

What's in

the box?

I was able to swipe up the other Target Beauty box as well:  Honor Roll.  Again, these are always $5, free shipping, plus taxes.  These boxes sell out the day they are added to purchase online. 

Again, the box was a nice size and perfect for gift giving.  Just decorate over that target symbol and you have a beautiful gift box.

The theme for this box was Honor Roll.
 

The Bathery Delicate Pouf - ($1.99) I can always use one of these!  And I love the purple color.  These get you nice and sudsy. 

Olay Fresh Outlasts Body Wash in White Strawberry -   (Full size $4.99)  I do not even purchase body wash anymore - being a Posh consultant, I am crazy about our Chunk bars but my daughter will probably use this for overnight trips.

Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes -   ($2)  These are another set of towelettes I will use right up.  These are good for taking on trips, camping, or to outdoor sporting events or concerts. 

Cover Girl Outlast all-day Primer - ($9.79)  This is the item where the real value is!  This is twice the box - and I will give it a shot since it was in my $5 box.  I wondered why the items had not been that pricey up until now and this is the reason.  Cover Girl really wanted us to try this and love it.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume 7-Day Treatment -  ($2)  I do not know if there is enough product in here to try it for seven days but I will give it a shot.  I do like John Freida hair products.  I have used his Radiant Red shampoo and conditioner a few times.
 

NYX Butter Gloss in Strawberry Parfait -  ($4.99)  These are always awesome to get!  I love their butter glosses.  I do not have this shade which is a bonus!
 

Another great beauty box by Target.  They knock these out of the park.  Another box over $20 in value.  And I will get to try a few things I have never tried before which is always a plus.

 

Target Head of the Class Beauty Box

 What's in

the box?

Target does some amazing beauty boxes for $5.  They sell out they day they come out though so you have to be on social media when someone announces they are there.  I mean these are gone lightening fast, Ladies.  I rarely even mention I saw them because I am too busy trying to get in there and get them before they are gone.  Keep checking here for beauty boxes.

There were two boxes released - this is the Head of the Class box.  These are nice sturdy boxes - you could decorate them and give them as gifts.

There was a nice little card and a coupon in the box.   You can save $3 when you spend $15 on beauty products. 

Wet n Wild Max Volume Mascara -  ($4.99) Seriously, the last time I bought mascara was just to purchase my favorite brand - I really did not need to - I have several tubes.  These are like eyeliner and go in spurts, where every box sends you one.

Herbal Essences wild naturals dry oil spray -  ($5.99)  I am interested to see if this can be a dupe for some of the other hair oils I use.   I find the ones I like in Birchbox but they are usually pretty pricey so I have to save up my points to earn a bottle.  It smells really good which I always look for in my sprays.

The Bathery 2 -in-1 Pumice Stone -  ($1.99) Who does not like getting spa items in their boxes?  Ok - we can trade stuff cause I love them!  This will be great on my footsie in the shower!  I love to keep them sandal ready.

 YES to Cucumber Soothing Facial Towelettes -   ($2.99)  This is a product I already purchase once in awhile so it was nice to get them in the box.  Love this brand for the wipes.

Goody ouchless elastic hair bands -   (3 cents) This is another item that is bought frequently at my house since as you know, these disappear like lightening and you have to buy more - just like bobby pins.

Hollywood Fashion Secrets Fashion Tape -  (Full size $8.89)  I have never owned this before but I should have been picking it up for those shirts that gap on me.  Definitely trying this out next time I wear one.

Covergirl Queen Coloricious Lip Gloss in Give Me Guava -  ($5.99)  Of course, there has to be a lip product in the box - we are women!  We love our lippies! 

This box has a great value and a great assortment of products.  This box was $5 and had well over $20 worth of product in it.  It is one of the better ones they have sent out and I will used everything in this one.  A+ to Target for Head of the Class!
