AMAZON PRIME PURCHASES

Welcome Friends! Welcome to a new era in the monthly Amazon Prime Link Up originated by our dear friend, Tanya from The Other Side of the Road. Jill from Doused in Pink and I are happy to be hosting, and we hope you’ll join us whether as a participant or a reader garnering great Amazon ideas!

 

For me, not only am I including what I bought this past month from Amazon, but I’m also including some great gift ideas and all things hearts. I purchased several of these either for myself and/or gifts and they’re perfect!

Meat Chopper // Belt // Headbands // Produce Containers // Keto Hot Chocolate // Walking Pad // Make Up Remover // Wall Sconces

Walking Pad

This Walking Pad is one of my number one favorite purchases ever! I’ve had it now about three weeks and it’s amazing! There’s nothing that replaces outside walking but when the polar vortex hit hard in January, I knew I had to have something. I had sold a manual treadmill years ago and Mr. Nine and I had just never got one, although we keep talking about a peloton. With the price of this one you just cannot beat it, plus it’s portable and I truly can’t find any cons with it.

 

Meat Chopper

I melted the handle on my old one. It was time for a new one. Truly one of the greatest inventions to chop up ground meat. Use it at least a couple times a week. This 

Is a GREAT ONE. 

 

Headbands 

One of the girls requested this set of Headbands on her Christmas list. With such an amazing price for a 2 pack, I decided to get them for all the girls. They shared the black ones with the boys, and it made for a cute group photo on Christmas Day. 

 

Belt 

A dupe of dupes. It literally identical to the one from Madewell and a 1/4th of the cost. Very high quality Belt. 

 

Produce Containers 

Holy moly do these babies keep veggies and fruit fresher for longer. Truly one of my favorite kitchen storage purchases. These Produce Containers come with 4 sizes and they stack inside each other when not using them. 

 

Low Carb Hot Chocolate

I was indulging in hot chocolate over the holidays more than once a week. When January hit and sugar when bye bye in my diet, I still craved it on cold, snowy days. This keto friendly version is only 45 calories and blank net carbs. 

  

Cetaphil Make Up Remover

I should call this Eye Make-up Remover as I only use it on my eyes. I use the Cleanser for me face. I just put a little on a cotton pad and gone so gently! Pixi stopped making my favorite remover pads, but this is the BEST replacement. 

Wall Sconces 

My mama got these Battery Operated Wall Sconces and were both loving them. So much so that I think Mr. Nine and I will get a set. They come with a remote control, can be set on a timer and have 3 light modes. So elegant and modern. Here are my mom’s that she put on either side of a mirror. 

 

Hearts, Hearts, Give me all the Hearts

 and for him, Check out this Jerky Heart Box!

Spoons // Blanket // Gift Card // Charcuterie Board // Necklace // 2 pack Glass Cups // Rope Basket // Bamboo Wood Spoon // Earrings // Slippers

STELLAR!!

Did you see yesterday‘s POST with four of my fabulous friend‘s recreating each others Fall looks! If you have not, check it out because it will give you lots of thought outfit inspiration!

Today’s post, I call stellar because it includes this adorable ruffled the neck top from Cabi called the Stellar Top! If you look closely, there’s little stars in the print in pink, yellow and rust. I was super thrilled to add these mustard corduroys with it that I got for $7 on clearance at the Loft. I did the unexpected with some gray boots and hot pink earrings and I love how it turned out!

This was Saturday Watching Notre Dame WIN.

10. Hoodie, T-shirt or Sweater? All.... tees are more in the Summer, but when the holidays start approaching, I often pull out my Eddie Bauer House sweaters, which I have in 3 colors. Pair em' with comfy bottoms like Buffalo Plaid thermals and I am warm and cozy for sure!

Stay Cozy FRIENDS!! And happy Labor Day!

9 RAMDOM FACTS ABOUT ME

The Blended Blog ladies and myself are using this Themed Monday as a bit of a reintroduction, so to speak. 

I decided to do a “Nine” on the 9^th: 9 random facts about me that I may not have divulged before. This list is actually a mile long as there are tons of things I have never talked about here before. I believe we always have new things to learn about one another. 

RANDOM FACTS

1. I had a short Lived Modeling Career in the late 80's.

2. I Live like 5 miles from big blogger Erin from Living in Yellow but have never met her. (we used to live in neighboring subdivisions)

3. Speaking of 9, when I was 19, I won a radio contest on U93, they played my top 9 Summer Hits and I won $93! 

4. Twice, I went out with someone famous, one before he was famous and one when he was famous.....that may have to be a post. 

5. Our oldest son was a baby/toddler model.

6. When I was 16, I went in a trip to Germany and won a yodeling contest at a cabin at the top of the Alps. My prize? A mini bottle of vodka, lol!

7. A few people knew, but my husband and I pretty much eloped to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. 2 Bonus Mr. Nine facts: We used to go to the same HS Dance club: "Greg Allen's Off The Strip" but never met back then. AND we lived .7 tenths of a mile apart when we met but didn't know it.

8. I love to write poetry and often for friends and family for milestones. One time, about 15 years ago, I had a poem published called "More Than We Knew." I'll share it sometime. It was about Michael Jackson.

9. I love all music but I really, really LOVE old school country like Conway Twitty, George Jones, Dolly, Tanya Tucker....in fact, Delta Dawn my all time favorite song and as a little girl my mom said I sang it all the time. Probably was belting it here in this Throwback photo, digging the red flares! 

BONUS: because I just heard about it from my friend Jess at Elegantly Dressed and Stylish. Gulliver's Gate: It is an interactive 1/87 scale miniature a block wide in Times square of 25 countries. The largest collection of interactive miniatures in the WORLD!! Guess what just went on the bucket list!! I LOVE Miniatures!!! Like LOVE!! I went crazy for the one in Chicago a the Museum of Science and Industry....here Mr. Nine and the boys were ready to go, but I was like “nooo, I want to say here all day!"

Hope you day is full of joys: BIG snd SMALL!! 

LINK-UP a Post about YOU, even your "About Me" page so all these fine readers can know you even better!!
