baby it's cold outside...

it's suppose to be super cold this weekend so here are some things to ponder if your bored:

1. have you seen 500 days of summer? soooo good and the guy is really cute in it...you should really watch it and then google and see where you recognize the guy from (it will make you laugh).

2. feeling like cleaning? i have a huge obsession with mrs. meyers (kind of funny since i am not good at cleaning)...geranium and basil are the only ways to go. i can't live without the hand soap, counter top spray, and all purpose cleaner (money saving tip: buy the all purpose cleaner and refill your counter top spray bottle will a little of that and warm water). i have been known to say 'if no one was looking i might just spray this stuff and wear it as perfume'....

3. i heart dunkin' donuts coffee. i told warren that i think that i could be one of those people who could have the bumper sticker (i know, can you imagine)! coffee snobs are just dying at this revelation! the best is getting it fresh from the drive thru and having them put cream and sugar in it for you....yum.

4. feel like venturing out in the cold....tj maxx has designer's guild sheets and shams...really cute...really cheap (like $3.99 cheap). i got sheets and shams for taylor's room...they are getting monogrammed as we speak!

5. if you have kids, i am obsessed w/ mini boden and they are having a huge sale right now. i am bummed that this isn't available in taylor's size but they have TONS of cute things that i could totally buy.

okay, i'm off to charlotte to battle the cold and hopefully make a stop at south park and phoebe's new store! see you next week...stay warm!

If you like the girl (Zooey Deschanel) in 500 Days of Summer, you should check out her music. She's in a band called "She and Him." Her music sounds like its from another era - its absolutely wonderful! http://www.sheandhim.com

Thanks for the TJ Maxx tip- I'll have to check ours out.

Thinking I'm going to leave here soon and head through the closest Starbucks drive through for coffee. No dunkin donuts here....

Have a great weekend!

I went to Phoebe's new store over the holidays and it is to-die-for! I'm from California so it's the first time I have been to one of their shops and it knocked my socks off!

Liz said...

You make me feel better to know that I'm not the only designer that is terrible at cleaning! Thanks for the informative list! I'll be trying that Mrs. Meyers trick and adding TJ Maxx stop to my errands this afternoon. Oh, and I always forget that Boden has little people clothes, so that's a good reminder! Say hi to Mrs. Howard for me. :-)

I'm in agreement about Mrs. Meyer's. I wash my sheets with the Geranium scent detergent, and it's hard to get out of bed!

LRH said...

Loved 500 Days of Summer! And, I spray Mrs.Meyer's Lemon Verbena room freshener every chance I get. I can only imagine if I bought the kitchen spray or the scented detergent(previous post) that I would never leave my apt!! Great tip and list!

A Refocused Life said...

Love all the tips today. I've got my list and I'm off to shop.

Unknown said...

Super nice list! I made one of my own, come on over, check it out, if you like!!!

;) Sweet weekend to you! Victoria

Simply Grove said...

Fun list!! I wonder if my TJ Maxx has them...hmmmm.

Alison Duffy said...

Ah, I've got to get to TJS!!!! Can you believe they have a Mini Boden distribution center here in Scranton? I went to a sale and got 4 of those toggle coats for 10 bucks each!!

Belle (from Life of a...) said...

I am a huge Mrs. Meyers fan...HUGE! Geranium is my all time fave. Last year I bought a bunch of the peppermint hand soap and lotion and gave it as gifts this year. Everybody loves it...really wish they'd brought it back again this year. I didn't try the Iowa Pine. Did you?

gina said...

I don't drink coffee at all but am a HUGE DD Vanilla Chai fan!! Best invention ever. Before that I used to order black tea with just sugar at the drive thru. I even worked there for a time- I love the smell of coffeee- just not the taste, weird, huh?

Material Girls said...

Yep- saw that movie! I thought it was really cute (of course my boyfriend thought it was slow and boring) but that was expected!
(and not to mention, I just love Zooey D)

GrannySmithGreen said...

Hot coffee and Mrs. Meyer's geranium. It hardly gets any better! Isn't it funny how some of the simplest things can make us so happy!! Now if the great smelling cleaner would just do the cleaning by itself!

betsy said...

Does any one know if TJ Maxx has little boy sheet from Designer Guild? I am looking for a set for my younger son. Wish we lived in a town that had a TJ Maxx.

i will have to try their coffee, i don't think i have ever had it

Oh, my we would be friends in real life... DD is my fav too...and mini boden and speaking of, did you know they sell Mini Boden at Nordstroms....I just found this out and they are going to be carrying more. I didn't know about DG sheets at TJMAXX now I am wanting to go. I can't wait to watch that movie!
Well do stay warm with a coffee of course!
Have a great week!
