A tag sounded lame, so a trail it is

I'm running out of ideas for post titles, at least I am right now. Anywayzzz, this post is about a tag and an award. If you're already bored with those, you can leave now. Ok, bye!! KIDDINGGG Don't you dare leave me.

My homie Anastasia tagged me to share 7 things about myself. Now, if you've been reading this blog for a while you know that I've done this quite a few times (here, here and here). However, since we're close to VDay, I will post 7 relationship-related things.

1. The honey's driving FREAKS.ME.OUT.
2. We don't have an anniversary.
3. Before I started dating him, I hated pink and did not own a single item in such color.
4. We met on the beach.
5. He makes me try new things [FOOD people, food].
6. He's shorter than me, although he frantically argues says he's not.
7. We don't know for sure how long we've been together [refer to #2].

[this is where we met]

The award was given to me by Yessika, my OEB [Official Email Buddy] and since she passed it on to half the entire blogsphere, seriously. I will keep it to myself.

How's your week going so far? I hear a lot of people are being oversnowed or whatever. I hope everyone's ok. Kisses.

PS: Remember to enter my latest VALENTINE'S GIVEAWAY

Valentine's Giveaway #3

Giveaway #3 is here... Woot! Remember that they all close this Friday, February 12th.

Whoever wins this one, is in for a REAL TREAT. Simplysuds is offering TWO READERS one of her amazing creations. I had the hardest time choosing the prizes and it will be even worse to ship them. I immediately fell in love with the scents and textures of her items. 

Here's some more info about simply suds...

I am registered nurse and began making handmade soap in 1996. I use the cold process method when making my soap. Each made in small batches in my kitchen and hand stirred and cut and allowed to dry in a smoke free enviroment. I use only food grade edible oils and butters and scent each bar with pure essential oil or top quality fragrance oil. I began adding handmade lotions, body butters, shea butter scrubs, and fizzy bath bombs to my line in the last few years. I am excited to announce that I will be adding a premium linen, room and body spray to my line of bath products. This spray will be alcohol free which can be very drying to the skin. Look for this soon! Soap is my passion and my obsession. I am always researching new items and trying new fragrances to add to my line. My products can also be found at my website, www.simplyuds.com.

Two of you will be chosen as winners for this one! One winner will receive the "sweet almond handmade cold process shea and cocoa butter soap" [pictured above]. The other winner will receive the "pink sugar whipped shea butter body butter Vegan friendly 4 oz jar" [pictured below].

Today's Update!!!

So, I just finished catching up on your blogs, don't worry no award for me this time. I must say, I love reading blogs, and I love blogging, and the blogging community and the support... and I think I'm PMSing.

Anywhoddle, take today for example... I was there being sick, reading a post, minding my own business when all of a sudden I hear a cricket [my cellphone] and no, is not the honey, is not my male bestie, is spanky! This is so creepy because the post I was reading atm was hers. So she goes all hey bitch, or maybe it was just bitch. Whatever and since I'm PMSing all over I'm like hey baby darling sweetie pie wassup. And we kept talking for a LOOONG time, basically she held my hand while I was sick stayed with me until the pills kicked in. Awww.

Being that it was my day off I had a lot some errands to do, like going to Walgreens, KMart, post office, and the mall. EWW. It was raining and like I said I was sick [UTI symptoms] so NOT FUN. I did it though, put on my pink big girl panties and went out in the mini storm. I managed to do all of my errands including exchanging some clothes at F21. Have any of you been to the mega stores??? Men they're just TOO BIG. I was in there for hours [the 1st time] and there are sections I haven't seen yet!!!! Too big folks, too big.

I want to put up pics of what I bought, but since I may or may not have bought my VDay outfit, I can't. Because I want the honey to see it for the 1st time when I wear it, not on the blog, not that he reads my blog, but you get my point. Also, I need someone to go shopping with me. I'm gonna put an ad on the paper, swear. It's sooooo hard to decide between stuff all by yourself. Ugh, I actually bought 4 different outfits for one night. I will obvi wear just one, but since I can't decide. Oh well, thankfully I can wear them for work. Guess I'll be looking extra hot on the days to come.

Is this turning to be like a super long post? Cause I don't like doing that. So, I'll shut up stop now. Thanks sooooo much for entering my Valentine's Giveaways, remember there's still time to enter, and I'll have the 3rd coming up tomorrow. This one's also gonna be ah-ma-ZING!

PS: I bought myself extremely-overpriced-chocolate-covered-strawberries. I'm sick I deserve them.

Kisses, XO

Valentine's Giveaway #2

Well here it is, our lovely giveaway #2. The first one's still open though. They will all close this Friday, February 12th.

Since I would never giveaway something that I'm not obsessed with myself [seriously ya'll] for this one, I'm giving away... CANDLES!! YAY!! Ok, anybody who's ever been to my house knows that it's more of a spa/church in here due to the crazy amount of candles everywhere.

My awesome new sponsor Gilda from Tissai has offered one of my lucky readers not one, but a set (a round one) of her magnificent candles. Not only do they smell great [trust me, I know] they also look wonderful. Here's a little info about Tissai:

Tissai is a start-up from Chicago specializing in hand-poured scented candles with materials from US, Europe and Asia. The scents are mixed throughout the entire candle, and the refined paraffin wax burns cleanly and evenly. Tissai scented candles aim to capture the essence of the season and strive to leave behind the feelings of calmness and relaxation.

We're definitely passionate in what we do and strongly believe that the products speak for themselves! Our Candles are available for wholesale and retail.
