Yankee Candle: Buy 2, Get 2

I don’t know about you, but the second the temperatures start to cool down, I love feeling cozy in my home. More than that, I love lighting candles that reflect the season. That Christmas tree smell over the holidays? To die for!

Maybe you aren’t aware (I wasn’t) but Yankee Candle has some really awesome FALL scents as well. Being that this is my favorite season, official today, I NEED to try these.

Here’s the new fall scents:

  • Autumn In The Park
  • Brandy Pear Tart
  • Cranberry Twist
  • Sugar and Spice

Coincidence that there are 4 scents? I think not. Yankee Candle is running a deal through September 27th, where if you buy two candles, you get two free! You can print this coupon and use this deal in-store, or you can shop online and use the promo code: 4FALL.

Let us know what you think! I can’t wait!

Back To School!

‘Tis the season. If you aren’t experiencing this as we speak this Monday, you are sure to soon. Gone are the days of camping and vacations and entertaining your kids all day long, but only to be replaced by lunch packing, school supplies, and carpools. There’s been TONS of deals and cute ideas all over the internet for back to school, and I wanted to share some of my favorite ones!

Deals

Ah, Staples, a staple in back to school shopping. Check out their site for all their sales from $7 for 4 dozen #2 Pencils, to $3 for a 24 pack of Crayola colored pencils to $3 for a 10 pack of Crayola markers. Essential items, discounted.

Walmart is also an incredible discount resource that makes life easier by allowing free in-store pickup and even free shipping in some cases. Save yourself some time and check out some of their deals. From $7 4-pack composition books and $7 4-packs of spiral notebooks to $5 for 2 dozen ball point pens they’ve definitely got you covered. Also interesting are their bundles! Prices range for their K-2nd Grade bundles but these allow you to get all the essentials in the styles you’re looking for. Makes it much easier not to overbuy or forget necessary items. Love it!

Back to School purchases aren’t limited to supplies – your growing kids need some new clothes for the new year as well. I always hate splurging on clothes that hardly fit them after a mere year, so I stand by Old Navy as my go-to! They’re stylish and trendy and definitely do not break the bank. They run tons of promotions and discounts and you know you are NEVER paying full price – the best feeling! Old Navy has everything from $20 for a 4-pack of uniform collared shirts to $8 denim – insane!

Back to School Fun

Back to School is also an opportunity to be, well, adorable. I still have pictures from my first day from Kindergarten to my Senior Year of High School. I was annoyed while they were happening, but I truly treasure them now.

I absolutely adore these FREE chalkboard printables – print them, frame them, and voila – adorable.

Thanks, YellowBlissRoad!

Also totally adore MeAndMyInsanity’s idea of simply using a spiral notebook. It’s to theme, it’s cheap, and so, so easy.

Fabletics

Hey everyone – wanted to tell you about an awesome deal I discovered a few weeks back, that, tried and true, is really cool and totally worth $25 if you are in the market for some nice gym clothes.

Fabletics

Fabletics [happybeinghealthy.com]

Fabletics is an online subscription for women’s gymwear and accessories. It was founded by Kate Hudson a couple of years ago, but has recently taken off considerably in terms of popularity.

Here’s how it works:

First, you take a quick lifestyle quiz – it asks you about your preferences, what kind of exercise you do most often, and where you do it. After this, Fabletics shows you some outfits you’d be interested in. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I was interested in each and every single one of them – they’re trendy, cute, and perfect for all body types. I indicated that I mostly exercised in a gym setting (some light weights, spin classes, yoga, etc.) and all of my options were so fun! Bright colors, comfy shirts, some great sports bras, headbands, etc.

At this point, you can opt to choose their VIP membership program. What this means is that each month, Fabletics sends you their latest deals and outfit combos – these start around $50 (which, for me, is a little expensive for a gym outfit that I can get at Target for half the price). Each month, you have the option (and you have until the 5th of the month) to skip this month – you can skip as many months as you want, so long as you remember! You can also cancel your VIP Membership at any time by calling their member services team. With the VIP Membership, your first Fabletics outfit is only $25. $25!

I was so excited about $25 for such fun outfits that I was hooked. Within days, Fabletics sent me a great simple black absorbent tank, really cute black and pink leggings, and a matching headband – for the couple of weeks I’ve owned these products, they have been staples in my gym outfit regimen! They are awesome quality, certainly won’t fall apart, and very flattering – highly recommended! Take a look at this month’s offerings here:

That being said, I can’t recommend checking them out, and at least paying the $25 for an adorable outfit – and if you aren’t feeling it – just skip or cancel! I haven’t bought another outfit since, but I look every month and I am still a VIP member just in case I fall in love with another outfit or feel like I deserve something nice in the future.

Enjoy!

Popchips + SixFlags

A little last minute here, but wanted to make sure you guys caught wind of this! TOMORROW ONLY Popchips is running a promotion where if you bring an empty bag of Popchips to a participating Six Flags, you get 50% off of your admission.

Here’s the skinny (get it?!):

– August 5, 2015 ONLY before 3PM

– Not only do you get 50% off of your admission, but you also get a VIP wristband for the Exclusive Ride Time Event

– If you’re already inside of the park, you can purchase Popchips inside and still receive a VIP wristband for access to the event

– Promotion excludes Six Flags Over Georgia, water parks, Six Flags Mexico, and La Ronde

– Wristbands available while supplies last

Another summer day grasping for fun activities for the kids? This makes a day at a theme park affordable – and you know they’ll love it!

#NationalCheesecakeDay

The internet is bursting at the seams for #nationalcheesecakeday! I’m not the biggest fan of sweets, but if cheesecake is on the menu, I’ll never turn it down – landslide my favorite. Pretty excited about this holiday 🙂

I want to kick things off by letting you all in on some of the best nation-wide discounts in honor of today!

  • I’m not at all shocked, but The Cheesecake Factory is offering half-priced cheesecake on July 29 + 30th. Their cheesecake is so legitimate that it’s no wonder their namesake is what it is. They offer over 30 cheesecakes, from the original, to strawberry, to red velvet, to peanut butter, to mango key lime…dare I go on? Huffington Post also informs me that yesterday, The Cheesecake Factory debuted their new salted caramel cheesecake. #drool
  • Huffington Post also gives us the heads up about these other great deals nationwide:
  • Cheesecake Bistro by Copeland’s: All day on July 30, buy one slice of cheesecake and receive a free slice of equal or lesser value. You can also get $10 off the purchase of any whole cheesecake on this day.
  • Chompie’s: At any Chompie’s restaurant in the Phoenix area, purchase one slice of cheesecake at regular price ($6.95) and get another slice free at the bakery counter. Guests can choose from several varieties, including Oreo, chocolate, classic and red velvet.
  • Corner Bakery Cafe: Customers who visit participating locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will receive a free piece of cheesecake with the purchase of any entrée on National Cheesecake Day, reports Bucks Local News.
  • Festival Foods: The Wisconsin grocer’s cheesecakes are on sale all week for $6.98 in honor of National Cheesecake Day.
  • Peteet’s Famous Cheesecake: The Michigan-based cheesecake hot spot is giving the first 100 customers a free slice of cheesecake on July 30 at both locations in Oak Park and West Bloomfield. You can also get 20 percent off the rest of the day.

Frankly, I’ve never heard of these other spots, and Cheesecake Factory is a bit of a hike for us. I’m certainly not above making my own cheesecake! Wanted to share some of my favorite recipes if you’re up for the challenge (not really, they’re pretty simple)!

It may still be summer, but I am an absolute SUCKER for pumpkin cheesecake – Natasha’s Kitchen has an awesome recipe for it. You will need a food processor and a mixer, but beyond that, this is pretty simple. Natasha even gives you an incredible recipe for a caramel sauce and a rum infused whipped cream. Give yourself some time with this recipe, because it requires 45 minutes of cooking time and MINIMUM 4 hours of chilling time. It’s perfect for fall + Thanksgiving, or, you know, just for kicks on #nationalcheesecakeday 🙂

One of the problems with cheesecake is that it is so, so rich and filling, that sometimes you end up gradually eating an entire cheesecake over the duration of a week. Although you COULD stretch things to #nationalcheesecakeWEEK, I, personally, would rather not for the sake of my waistline. Here’s an awesome recipe for little bite sized cheesecakes (and it’s no-bake! Easy peasy!).

Bakers Royale‘s recipe requires a mixer and little mini ramekins of your choice. They boast that they only require 10 minutes prep – and then throw in the fridge for 6 hours (I know, give yourself plenty of time!) and you are all set! This one’s sure to please any cookies and cream fan!

Bon Appetit, everyone! Enjoy the glorious day that is #nationalcheesecakeday 🙂

If You’re Paying Full Price at LOFT, You’re Doing it Wrong

Hey Savers! As my work day dies down and I check my personal email, I realized I hadn’t let you in on one of my favorite stores to save at: LOFT.

LOFT EMAILS

A screenshot of my inbox, searching LOFT

LOFT is a high quality store, providing any woman clothes for her life of leisure or the workplace – it’s immensely versatile, which is why it’s one of my favorites.

An additional reason why it’s one of my top picks is because they are nonstop sending me awesome deals. Whether the deal is online, in-stores only, or ‘limited time’, I can always rely on LOFT almost DAILY to have huge savings for me.

They discount both their new items AND their clearance section so regularly that I feel confident in saying: If you are paying full price at LOFT, you’re doing it wrong.

Sign up for their mailing list today to become a LOFT Insider and make sure you don’t miss out on any of their incredible savings: Sign Up!

Umm…Amazon Prime Day?!

Why is today the first time I have heard about this?! Amazon Prime Day has officially started TODAY, July 15, 2015.

First and foremost, let’s talk Amazon Prime – is it worth it? $100 a year for the following:

  • FREE two-day shipping for eligible purchases (most things I’ve ever needed)
  • Unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Video
  • Ability to borrow books from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library

If you use Amazon enough (I sure do – anything from wedding and baby registries to dog food to household needs I will purchase via Amazon) – the free shipping enough will pay for itself and more – I can’t back this enough.

amazon_prime_free_shipping

Amazon Prime

Moving on, today I heard, for the first time, about Amazon Prime DAY. UMM WHAT.

amazon_prime_day

Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime day is the site’s way of premiering what they say are ‘more deals than Black Friday’ – exclusively for prime members. NBC News did some digging and highlighted the best savings so far – I certainly urge you to take a look – get ahead on holiday shopping, find convenient discounted birthday gifts, or hey, treat yourself!

Some really solid deals for all types of audiences. To read more, check out the full article here: Amazon Prime Day Highlights

Pro Tip: If you aren’t an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a FREE 30 Day Trial – that’d qualify you for the Prime Day eligibility. BUT – do NOT forget to unsubscribe if you aren’t feeling it – after 30 days you’ll get charged for the full year! Tread with caution 🙂
