No updates

There will be no real updates today.

 My beloved Weezer bunny is having seizures and is going to have to be put down soon, and my dog Katie will have to be put down soon, so I'm just not into writing right now. I will update tomorrow Thursday will the sales and reviews I am working on. I also have more happenings for the Fayetteville area for the weekend.

 So to sum up my week so far, Rob leaves tomorrow, Gaby leaves Friday, Ewok the puppy is still recovering from his being fixed, the rabbit is sick and dying and my dog is sick and dying.

 Have you ever had a week like that? I'm just sick about the whole thing and to top it off my back hurts so bad I cant even put my shirt on.

 Dam... if anyone has any happy thoughts please send them my way..

LBB

Oh yes another clothing box subscription, The little black bag sends you clothes, you pick one thing and their stylist send you one to three extras that they pick for you based on your profile and preference.

 They also allow to swap stuff with other members and ship your bag whenever you want. They also have a return policy which is great because lets face it we don't always like everything we get.

 Here is the link, take a look and see if you like it. This will be another one I sign up for lol

Weekend happenings in Fayetteville

I thought I might post some of what's going on here is Fayetteville this weekend for anyone that's wants it.

 I also would like to know how I add people so I can read their blogs. So far I am completely clueless when it comes to this and haven't really had time to sit down and figure it all out. If anyone who reads this can give me some hints and post links to their blog that would be great, since as of right now I'm not following anyone even though I thought I was.

 Ok on the What's happening

Mary J Blige is going to be at the PNC Arena in Raleigh at 8 pm on Friday June 7th. I think there is still time to get tickets so go ahead and look.

 Brad Paisley will be at the Time Warner music pavilion on Saturday June 8th, there are still tickets for this.

Beach ouse garden tour is this weekend at Holden Beach fro 10 am til 3 pm, tickets are 10.00

 Cumberland Dance Academy is having recitals at 12 on Saturday from  3-6 pm, that s also 10.00 and its at the Crown here in Fay.

 2nd Saturday summer arts fest is at the Museum of the cape fear historical complex 810 Arsenal ave. This is suppose to be a lot of fun and who doesn't like an art fest.

 Sunday June 9th finds us at the WWE live show. Heavy weight champs will be there and quite a few of them to boot. That is also at the Crown Coliseum . Tickets are 15 - 95 and it starts a 5 pm

 Not sure if anyone knows this but the Cross Creek Mall now has A Sweet Boutique which is yummy deserts. This is also on Walter reed rd but that location only does party cakes. The one in the mall is more of a shop where you can get all kinds of yummy to give you energy to shop. While I'm talking about the mall they are also getting a Black house White market soon. I cant remember what store they are taking over but when I head back over there I will look.

 Ok that's the update for our area, later on today I will be posting online freebies and sales. I love my freebies and gets lots of make up and food stuff in the mail for free lol I also plan on putting up some free Kindle books because I am finding so many of them that I just have to share.

 If you read this and have any input feel free to share.

Stitch Fix !!!

  Oh yeah baby I got my Stitch Fix invite !!! I'm so happy. After the trauma of I-Ella the list I'm happy to try this. There is no worry because if you don't like it you send it back prepaid so why not try it. I think getting a surprise bag of clothes in the mail once a month would be great.

 The profile is very good, they want to know everything about you and really try to see what you like. I'm going to sign up tonight and I'll update when I get it. I have high hopes for this box because the reviews were great on it and people seemed happy. Like I said what do you have to lose since you can send it back.

 Here's a link so you can check it out

steal and deals: Mission Target

Mission Target

 Oh Target, Target, what are you doing to me?? Why such bad clearance? I've gone the last few days and I'm having the worst luck.

 This week they do have clearance of 30% off some furniture such as the cheap tv stands and book cases but the prices are almost the same when they are on sale. Racks and Racks of clothing still but nothing great, no wonder they are on clearance.

 Man I bought the shabby chic comforter at Target a while ago while it was on sale but guess what ?? Its now on clearance !! It figures I knew I should have waited but I wanted it sooo bad. I decided to do my room all girly pink stuff because Rob is leaving so he wont see it but still I should have waited, I was just so excited to start.

 Oh Hautelook.com what am I going to do with you? Your killing me here. I places orders on May 3rd and I'm still waiting on some of them. I got a great pair of Mavi jeans that were normally 198.00 on other sites for 68.00, now that's a great deal. But when I have to wait a month for something that really pisses me off. Now don't get me wrong I still love them and shop with them but their shipping is so hit or miss. Sometimes it comes in days, other times it takes weeks!!! They really do need to fix this because sometimes I get so mad I wont shop with them for months.

 As I stated the other day I got my first I-Ella box and it sucked. Well the bracelet that she said cost 50.00 on her site got knotted already and its never even been worn. Ok not so much knotted but like crinkled? I don't know but it cant be undone because the chain is so flimsy that anything I do will break it. I swear I warn everyone about it now. If you don't get the most expensive bags then you are shit out of luck.

 Right now I'm waiting on my Juleb box and my nature box. I see that the money has gone from my bank so I'm going to assume they will be here soon.

 I got my first Fancy box the other day and it was all beat to hell when it got here, it looked like it had been ripped open and taped back together. They were nice about it. Oh I should say it only had two things in it and I'll post some pictures later, anyway they were nice about it but offered no solution. I'm finding more and more often that the company's really don't want to make things right anymore I guess they figure they already have your money so they don't care.

 I have a post I really want to do on honesty and people doing reviews the way they should. I don't really do reviews, well I do but not like some people. I find more and more often that the reviewers are getting their boxes for free, which is fine who doesn't like free, but they all do positive reviews on those boxes making me not trust that these boxes are worth or as good as they say. One person even said that she sends her review to the company before she posts it so that they approve it. What ???? That's crazy, so you want me to take your word for it? Now sure there are a few people I read that get some for free but so far they are honest about it and their review. Some like them some don't or they just don't like a few things but they say that, they are not censoring themselves in order to get free stuff.

 I'm not here to make money or get free stuff or really even do reviews I just want to say what I want to say and that's it. I guess a lot of them want to be popular and have tons of readers and get famous or something lol but that's not for me. Most of what I say pisses people off and I really don't care. I'm too old to censor what I say  or try to say what others want to here so they'll like me. That's not my bag at all.

 Ok done with that , for now.  So there are some really cool new stores in downtown Fayetteville that I want to write about. I'm waiting to hear back from a few of them to find out more about them before I head down there to see the stores and give my thoughts.

 That's it for now...

I'm doing a very quick update

I am so angry right now that I am only going to do a quick update. I got my I-ELLA bag today after waiting a month for it. and I have to say it was a rip off.  A big time rip off.

 They have way over inflated the prices of their products and they only sent samples of said products. All told for 62 dollars I got a cheap beach bag, a very small cheap and easily breakable bracelet, skin wipes in sample size and a nail polish in a sample size. I didn't even know they made samples of nail polish. Do yourself a favor and go with beauty boxes for half the price and maybe look into Golden Tote or even better Stitch Fix. Stitch fix has a waiting list and I haven't tried it yet but I have never seen a bad review of them and everyone who reviews them pays for their stuff, unlike those that have  been reviewing I Ella who get their bags for free to do a review.

 This is the email they sent me after I complained

Hi Carol,

Really sorry for the disappointment.  Every bag is different.  And every month is different.  Last month we had clothing, accessories and/or totes in the Starter Bag.  This month many of the boxes had accessories, totes and clutches.

We cannot put sunglasses in the starter bag because of the cost.  We actually have sunglasses this month in the SoHo and St. Barth's.

We did respond to your comment on MSA...  below is a copy.   Again, I'm terribly sorry for the disappointment and wish you only the very best.

- Ella
 
 So lets see if I pay 129 - 300 I can get something that is worth something? The advertise themselves as clothing by designers haha yeah right. I shop Ruelala or Hautelook and I know designers. I buy AG jeans and can get them for as low as 59 bucks on one of those two sites where is I Ella would say they are worth 200.00 if you pay that much for them then its not a deal because you can find it cheaper. I was expecting clothing of some sort even a t-shirt would have been great but when I opened that box my heart just dropped. I cant believe I spent that much money on that garbage.
 
 Stay away, because as you can see from the email she sent that she doesn't even really care at all. Way to treat a person.
 
 Well good luck to those who ordered and stay away for those who haven't. I will be updating later this week with my goodies box, glossy box and umm cant remember what other boxes but there are a few. All of them good !!!!
