Back to School / Stationary Haul

Hey Shopaholics!

OK, so here's a little something about me- I love (like to-die-for Romeo & Juliet love) stationary, office supplies, cutesy little things, sticky notes, the sorts. In this haul, I didn't buy anything considered "supplies" really. I like to purchase my class supplies after I know for sure how the professor has their class set up and if I am not dropping or chaining the course. So this was like my Part One. Let's get right to it.

Note: This post is more Lifestyle-Blog related so it may seem a little rambled because I was just super excited to share everything with you all.

~xoxo~

First I head to Target, and I am obsessed with their Dollar Spot stationary collections- I think they're so cute I love how often they have new things. I did have to control myself (lol, yes my shopaholicism is that bad!) because I would just take two of everything if I really could. So here is what I got:

All of the items shown here are from Target at the Dollar Spot and though their items range from one to three dollars everything here cost me one one dollar.

Over on the top left is a little Weekly Planner, I really liked the dusty purple color on this along with the chevron-ish print it has going on. I do use an Erin Condren Life Planner which I absolutely adore; it's my baby. However, I purchased this because I want to start decorating my planner pages in my Erin Condren like people do because I think they look super cute- so this I bought just to fill in my upcoming due assignments along with page numbers, readings, due dates, etc. 

Under that, I got some cute Page Flags- these are going to be used for my Erin Condren, along with marking things in my textbooks etc. I think the Purple and Grey look really good with the upcoming September color scheme for the Erin Condren so that was a bonus! 

At the top center, are some giant push pins which I thought were just super cute for the bulletin board above my desk.

Below that, I got a cute notepad that reads "take note," I thought the font was so cute so yup, that's pretty much all I needed and I was sold. I will be using this to take notes of all my Couponing deals because it's a lot more compact than carrying prints out or a bunch of regular sized papers with notes.

Over on the right, I got some cute To-Do Sticky Notes and some square ones with a pretty flower. I love sticky notes (you guys know this from how often I post cheap stickies I find!) and I love making lists so that was that.

My book-bag is also from Target, I just didn't take a picture of it. However I found it online, so if you're curious you can click here to check it out. 

~xoxo~

Next we move to Office Max/ Depot (apparently they're one company now?!) & I promise that the Target Haul was the longest so bear with me... Here's what I got:

Starting at the bottom right, I got a 24 count of Fine Tip Sharpies. I love sharpies and I only had regular tip black ones at home so I figured I would get some. These are Regular Price $19.99 but this week they're marked down to $10! So great deal. Also, there is a $0.75 OFF Sharpie Permanent Marker Product of three count or higher from a recent insert. (I recently changed my couponing system from the filing method to a couponing binder so I'm not sure which insert exactly that is from. Sorry!) So bringing your total down to $9.25. Making each UNIT roughly $0.39- great price, I think.

On the left, I got three packs of 100 sheets College Ruled Filler Paper. I got these beacuse this week they are on sale for only a penny with a minimum of a $5 purchase (limit three). This is just always great to have and be stocked-up on.

On top of the paper are some cute page flags in four colors. These were marked down on clearance for $3 but the packaging was a little opened at the top so I was able to receive an additional 50% OFF making them only $1.50. 

Finally, all the way at the top, I got a four pack of Office Depot/ Max brand macaroon erasers... Honestly, I have no reason to have gotten these other than I think they are adorable and were only a buck, so I just needed to have them. 

~xoxo~

Moving on, I went to Walgreens and got a few rolls of washi tape from the clearance section. I did blog about this earlier so hopefully you were able to find some cute ones and stick up! I only bought three, as you can see below:

The top one I loved because it goes so well with the Target Dollar Spot Collection. The second one also goes nicely with the collection, plus it's always nice to have solid washi. These were each only $0.79. The bottom one I thought was so so cute because I love to travel and that one was $1.79, which is still a great price.

~xoxo~

Finally, I went over to Michael's to grab some quick items for working on spreads in my Erin Condren Life Planner. 

On the far left are some cute monkey stickers from Sticko. I got these on clearance for only $0.49, so I will be doing a monkey spread hopefully soon.

On the center and far right, I got some Adhesive Craft Paper and I've never tried this out but I figured why not as each was marked down to only $2. I will be attempting to use these as backgrounds for the morning/day/night squares.

~xoxo~

SO THAT WAS MY HAUL! 

If you're still with me, thanks so much for reading!! I know this was a long one but I was just so excited about everything I got.

Product Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Happy Monday, Shopaholics.

I come to you all bearing fabulous news about a product I had some time to try out and totally loved: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.

I posted a week or so ago about how I got invited into the @SallyHansen Virtual VoxBox on @Influenster and I was so stoked! If you've never heard of Influenster, it's basically a site where you receive campaigns and #contest(s) to try out FREE full sized goodies in exchange for an honest review and social media postings. If that sounds appealing to you, you can join by clicking here. I also shared a coupon that you guys could use if you wanted to try it out yourselves and join me in the #ABLChallenge. If you're new to my blog, you can check out those posts here and here. If you would like a direct link to the coupon, click here.

Okay, now that all that technical stuff is out of the way, let's talk about the product.

I live in the Sunshine State where it is actually not all that sunny lately and I have moderately to generously fair skin, which is why I got so excited to be invited into this VoxBox. I am a little skeptical with self-tanners, especially for your legs and if you've ever seen Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging, you can understand why (hint: pool + tanner = orange legs, not cute.)

My experience with the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs was, however, above par. I purchased the Medium shade because I wanted to look bronzed and like I actually do live in Miami. I tested it out at home, on a rainy day, where no one could see me, just in case (I know, I know, I live life on the edge.) However, after evening out my legs, I looked like a Barbie. My legs looked longer and toned, no gym membership needed. Who knew the help you could get from a leg tanner?

Since my little fiasco at home, I have dressed up my legs for a Girls Night Out and several Date Nights on the town. I even got asked how I managed to get so tan without getting sun-burnt! Hey, what they won't know won't hurt them. It's a little secret to keep among my Shopaholics. (;

If you're in the market for a self-tanner for your legs, try out Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, you won't regret it. Here's a coupon to sweeten the deal. Special thanks to +Influenster for inviting me to join this campaign and #contest and +SallyHansenTV for Sponsoring this Virtual VoxBox!

Already tried it? Comment below and let me know what you thought.

Till next time,Shopaholics
XOXO, Lissy

AZSPORT Swim Cap Product Review

Want to know what I had to say about AZSPORT's Swim Cap? Check it out:

GREAT SWIM CAP.

Firstly, I love the little plastic bag in comes in because I can just zip the wet cap back inside when I'm done using it and throw it into my purse without having to worry about wetting anything. I have a similar bag for my swimsuit and it just makes life THAT MUCH MORE convenient.

Next, I love the spot reserved for my ears, it helps the cap fit snug without moving around and releasing my hair. This also helps to keep the silicone from pulling at my ears (ouch!)

I also really enjoyed the added bonuses it comes with. The ear plugs and nose plug come in a little carrying case so don't lose them if you don't use them. It's very comfortable to have those on hand instead of loosely thrown in your workout bag.

Great product, overall.

Blog Review Exclusive: My favorite part is that it included the ear plugs and nose plus in a cute little plastic box. Apart from being convenient, it so cute! That and the plastic bag it all came in to avoid wetting my bag. I love that the company thought of those little details.

Cell Phone Holder Product Review

Hey Shopaholics,

If you're in the market for a new, quality cellphone holder, you're in luck. I just finished trying out this Cell Phone Holder from iGotTech. Below is my review.

When I first tried this out, I had a hard time sticking it on my car window. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! It sticks well if you do it how the directions direct.

However, be careful at what angle you stick your phone or GPS, my phone fell off twice because at the angle I had it set up, the weight was too much. 

Basically, it takes some getting used to and the set up is tricky but once it's set up it works fairly well. & I like that once the stickyness wears off you can wash it to use it again instead of having to buy a new product.
