I tend to be one of those horrible bloggers that vacillates between “I have no time and no one cares what I have to say, so why bother?” and “I simply must write about this immediately!” And unfortunately, the former has been winning a lot of my battles. Plus, I underestimated how much time my kiddo would take up in my life. With my son turning 9 months old soon and finally on a (and I use this term incredibly loosely) schedule, I’m finally getting a little break in my day to breathe. And… to shop. Online. Because honestly, I still don’t leave my house that often.
I have some exciting things coming in the mail soon! I just can’t wait to see them sitting, so unassumingly, on my doorstep.
My First FabFitFun Box
My friend and I both ordered ours on the same day, but hers shipped a few days ago and mine… didn’t. Sigh. I signed up after the FabFitFun summer box was released and the website said it would be shipped within 10 business days. Sad trombone noise, but it’s been 11 business days. I sent a message to customer service today to see what the 411 was and they said it will ship next week. Siggghhh. But they did give me $10 in credit to appease me, and I feel appeased.
Fragrance Oils from Brambleberry
I’ve been making and selling handmade soap for a few years now and I’ve always been an essential oil girl. I liked that they had the “natural” element and felt that it kept my labels clean. But scent selection is extremely limited and I felt that was limiting my customer base. Trying fragrance oils is an experiment. If they sell, great! If not, I know that I can always go back to my roots. Plus Brambleberry is so fun to browse if you’re a soap nerd like me. I could spend a ton of money there… and sometimes I do.
Some Scentsy Stuff
OK, so the other thing about me is that I love me a scented candle. I know they might give me cancer or whatever people are worried about. But they make my house smell fresh as hell and I like that. There’s nothing better to me than coming home to a pleasant-smelling home. I’ve never ordered anything from Scentsy, though it seems like it would be right up my alley. Surprisingly, I’ve never been invited to an in-home party. (As a side note, are other people just way more popular than me or what? It seems like they turn down enough invitations to be annoyed by them and here I am like, “Hey guys, I like stuff.” I don’t know. Something to consider.) But one of my friends just became a Scentsy consultant and invited me to her Facebook party, where I managed to win myself a wax warmer. She’s far away so I have nothing to sniff, but I’ll probably order some little blocks and try it out.
Me, tho.
That’s it for now, folks. Will report as further developments present themselves (ie, my stuff shows up). I know I bought all of this stuff with my actual money (except the warmer, that is) but I can’t help feeling like I’m getting presents. Ahhh, delayed gratification.
