My Latest and Greatest...

This post is being brought to you by my civic duty and blogger scheduler. Today is my first day of Jury Duty, ever. I have no idea what to expect or how long this duty will last, so I have scheduled this post in my absence.

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite things I have bought lately.  You should be able to click on each picture & link to learn more about them.  Most of these things I have purchased and are not paid advertisements or endorsements. The one exception is the book. It was given to me by the Author/Publisher. Look at this post like one BFF to another. Now go shopping!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love this necklace. So sweet, light and simple. I sent two of them to some friends. I special ordered a 24" chain so it would hang lower.
The prices are also very good! SweetTeaShoppe

My new favorite purse. I bought this from the Coach Outlet over Presidents weekend and saved an additional 20%. I love shoulder bags and this one fits perfectly. I don't remember how much I paid
(I am sure my hubby could tell you :) but knowing me, not over $100)

I suffer from cracked heels. When you are a barefoot and flipflop kind of girl, the heels stay cracked. After using this cream for a couple days (off & on) for two weeks...I NO LONGER HAVE CRACKED HEELS. Kinda like magic. I believe that any brand of this cream will work. I just went with the cheapest. Wal-Mart

My new favorite book. I could not wait to get to the end! I was going to save this book for Jury Duty today but I decided to read the first chapter (just to see what it was like) and I could not put it down until I was finished. Seriously, I don't even read and I loved every minute of this book.
There will be more on this book soon...Author Diane Meier

My splurge. I have had the same pair of Wal-Mart Optical Department sunglasses for 4 years now. They cost me $40 and I believe my mom bought them for me. Well, folks the Lasik Surgery has finally run it's course and 8 years later I am wearing prescription glasses again.  These glasses are my new love.  As a bonus, insurance covered the cost. TOTAL SCORE!

Who knew I could get so excited about a paper cutter?? Not just any paper cutter but one that makes the swoosh noise as it slices through a dozen pieces of paper. I bought the Cadillac of paper cutters. 

No, I am not hugging trees. However, these are da'bomb.  You will need to do your research. Google words like: Barefoot running & Vibram Five Fingers.  These are made by the same company that makes the soles of Military issue flight boots. Also, you will never have an excuse not to run while on vacation.
These babies pack up in a suitcase just right. Vibram

I wanted to be cool like all the other kids. I wanted my camera to scream, "I belong to the crazy black & white, color challenged woman!" This is my "fun" purchase and I love it! I ordered mine padded with a lens cap pocket. *Shey*[B]

I can honestly say "I needed this." I was currently carrying my camera in a lunch box. It was a cute lunch box but all the same a lunch box. Now I can slip my wallet into this bag and carry it as a purse.  This bag is just the right size, comes padded, has little metal feet on the bottom, lens pockets, padded shoulder cover, adjustable shoulder strap and a great clasp. I heart this bag. Martilena

Bounce Dryer Bar. This little guy attaches to the inside of your dryer. Lasts for months. I love this!! Great smell, easy to use and makes my life better. I love it when companies think outside the box!

There you have it, my latest and greatest! What have you bought lately that makes your latest & greatest list? Leave me a comment/link, I am always on the look-out!
