Every time it’s Tuesday, I kind of freak out a little bit because wasn’t it just Tuesday yesterday?
ONE // THE BACHELOR
Let me just go off on a little bit of a rant right now, okay?
The Bachelor is messed up on so many different freaking levels. First of all, the whole idea that there might be a moment in your life where the guy you’re “in love with” either completely breaks your heart OR proposes to you is MESSED UP. How do you move past that? I don’t get it.
Also – why are the women on the show in such a rush to tell him that they love him?
AND. I feel like at some point, while it is based on relationships, the element of competition gets involved… like yeah you like Ben, but at the same time you just want a rose because we definitely don’t want Olivia getting one. So then, is it about Ben or is it about always getting roses? It just is stupid.
TWO // JUSTFAB
Have you guys seen those stupid JustFab commercials? They’re basically about a site where stuff is $39.95 and apparently women go all crazy about it. Here’s a commercial:
Well.
It all started when there was a Swagbucks promotion for them. We allllll know I’m all about the Swagbucks. I looked, and they actually had something that I really liked , this grey, drapey pullover:
{side note: I sent this picture to Kristen to show the girls the color of my bathroom, and Lucy asked who took the picture of me. LOL!}
Then I forgot to skip a month and I had a credit and since shoes were kind of the one thing I’d allowed myself to really be open to purchasing. I’m all about wedges these days, so I picked up these ones:

Ask me how much I love those shoes because the answer is the limit does not exist.
Then. I did it again. I forgot to skip my month. I found myself with credit. AND. They were having a sale on sandals. With my credit, I got these shoes (which are like the Bellens, but without the wedge) –

The two pairs of sandals I got:

and I was SO excited about these ones because they reminded me SO MUCH of a pair I’d seen on Caitlin’s blog.

Okay ALL OF THIS TO SAY – I don’t normally shop online. It’s just not my thing. It’s dangerous and I like the experience of picking out things to buy and holding them in my hands. But it just so happens that I had THREE pairs of shoes come to my house at the same day.
Here’s the funny part.
The mail lady said she is VERY familiar with JustFab, and I thought… dang these people know their marketing!
Kind of like Target. Target understands their marketing. In fact, I’m pretty sure they have a big portrait of me hanging in their corporate offices for inspiration on how to get my money. Just saying.
Anyway. Don’t sign up for JustFab. I’ve never paid $39.95 for a pair of shoes before, and I don’t ever want to do it again. I did use an affiliate link, though.. so if you happen to NOT listen to my advice, at least it gives me a $10 credit. 😉
