Friday Faves

Locast (Local TV Streaming App) →

in ,

I'm sharing today's #FridayFave as a means to help those on the fence of cutting the cable to go ahead and cut it!

Have you heard of Locast?!

https://www.locast.org/

It's not-for-profit service offering users access to broadcast television stations over the internet. They stream the signal over the Internet to select US cities ; our area being one of them.

We cut the cable and have been using our Firestick diligently, but I must admit; I missed the news like crazy! Especially WGN!

With Locast, you can stream it live, amongst all other local stations; including MeTV (a Saturday/Sunday morning oldie and cartoon favorite) and ION (for all my crime shows!)

While it is free, if you don't donate at least the $5, you will have to "restart" the stream often. Try it free and if you like it, you can always select to donate the minimum $5 to stop that from happening.

What apps do you love for your Firestick, Roku or Apple TV devices?!

What's helping you to cut back on the cost of cable?

Golden Coil Planner →

Happy Friday!

Today’s #FridayFave is my new favorite thing in the world; my planner! I have forever been that girl who buys a planner; realizes it doesn’t work for her, then buys another. It’s an endless vicious cycle!

Meet the world’s most customizable planner!

I came across a video on TikTok from a girl who shared her planner. Intrigued, I decided to browse the website. I’ll warn you, the price tag did make me flinch a bit! I sat with my want for a couple weeks and then when I saw there was a Black Friday sale, I jumped. It didn’t save much. I think it was something like 10-20% or whatever and I still ended up paying about $80. But pulling the trigger and deciding to try it out was the best decision I’ve made so far this year! I justified it by realizing it would cost me my favorite latte from Starbucks a month.

They just restocked all of their designs. It's limited, so I am not sure how long they will stay in stock. I'm kinda bummed I missed out on the floral print one, but there's always next year! I will definitely continue to purchase!

As you design your planner, there are literally SO many layouts to choose from! In addition, there are so many things you can add! I’d be happy to share mine with anyone who’s interested and/or on the fence about it, too!

I’m not affiliated, nor do I get any kickback. It’s just something I’ve found to really help me stay organized! I give this planner an 11/10 for functionality AND use!

Target Joggers

in ,

Just before I learned I'd be going back to in-person work, the sweatpants that I ordered came. While I found a few at American Eagle/Aerie that worked, but I found these at Target and I've been OBSESSED!

I wish I could find the dark gray ones in store in an XXL... (Update, I DID FIND THEM!!!)

If you're looking for comfy loungewear, you've gotta try these!

These American Eagle Joggers are also great!!

Massage Gun

Have you seen these things?!

https://www.amazon.com/.../ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05...

Holy crap! It's an absolute must have! I actually scored this one on major discount ($41.44) but if you join this FBK deals group; https://www.facebook.com/groups/392074581349298 you might be able to find it on sale again; or at least one similar!

Its one of my favorite quarantine 2.0 purchases!


EDIT 2/10/2021: Unfortunately this specific one I link is no longer available. But, you can find more here; https://www.amazon.com/s?k=massage+gun

Blue Light Blocking Glasses →

#FridayFave DOUBLE FEATURE!

I have also been loving the DIFF Eyewear brand! I've tried to find blue light blocking glasses that compare, and flat out - there is no comparison that helps as much as these do! I know they're a bit pricey, but if you can score them on sale, it's a definite must!

I have the Becka IV's and I absolutely adore them!

I lost my first pair, which resulted in me trying several pair from Amazon before biting the bullet and ordering a second set. I managed to score them half off with the Black Friday sale they had!

They also gave me a link to give you for $20 off, but if you find a better one, be sure to use it (and share it here, too)! Here is the $20 off link; https://www.diffeyewear.com/account

Motley Crue Graphic Tee (Etsy)

Happy #FridayFaves

I have been LOVING this graphic tee! The material is super soft and I can’t stop wearing it! I’ve been eyeing a few other tees from this Etsy shop. You’ve gotta check ‘Em out! Especially if you’re looking for some last minute Christmas gifts!

Here is a link to their Etsy store; https://etsy.me/2CEMxKS

Skinny Jean Faves 2-For (American Eagle & Walmart Dupe) →

in

It's a #FridayFaves two-for!!!

I got these Ne(x)t Level Curvy Super High-Wasted jeans from American Eagle delivered yesterday and they are SO comfortable! They have every bit of structure a good pair of jeans should have all the while still having the stretch! They are distressed without all of the rips and tears and while that look is super in and I'm ALL about it, I can't necessarily always wear it to work!https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/4430_2686_905

Here I am in my jeans, and I have to say; I’m in love with them!!!

https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/4430_2686_905

They fit like a glove and feel like I'm wearing sweatpants!

If you're in search of a good pair of jeggings, you've gotta check these out!

(Bonus: WalMart also currently has a dupe in their Time & Tru line. They are a bit more distressed, but they fit just the same! https://www.walmart.com/.../Time-and-Tru-Women.../407534460)

For reference, I wear a size 20 in both pairs!

Saranoni Blanket →

in

It's time for #FridayFaves again!

This Saranoni Luxury Blankets XL throw blanket has been AH-MAY-ZING!

Okay, I know... $100+ for a throw blanket is a bit of a splurge. But hear me out! When I visited my girlfriend in Utah, I was freezing as we sat in the living room under her ceiling fan drinking wine. I grabbed the throw blanket that she had draped over her couch and as soon as I picked it up and put it around me I literally froze in awe as I decided right then and there and I absolutely NEEDED one like it!

The hefty price tag made me think twice... okay maybe more than twice. BUT, let me tell you - it was so worth it! It is literally the softest, coziest, heaviest, comfiest, warmest most amazing blanket that I've ever EVER had against my skin!

What's more is you can also split up the payment using Afterpay USA; which, as the holiday season approaches, I am a HUGE fan of!

The come in so many colors. The one that I have is in the Camel color. I had "Lay Lady Lay" (one of my favorite Bob Dylan song's) embroidered on it. Since my purchase, I've ordered for my nephew's 1st bday, my daughter for Xmas and I will continue to purchase for special gifts in the future! You can almost always find a coupon code! Try using retailmenot.com or Rakuten for coupon codes and cash back!

And if you purchase one, let me know what you think!!!

Rakuten (Cash Back App) →

in ,

I know, you’ve all been impatiently waiting for this week’s edition of Friday Faves!

So, this week (and actually the last couple of months really) I have been absolutely LOVING the Rakuten app!

Here, you get cash back (and coupons) in as easy as one click! I currently have almost $154 coming back to me for doing absolutely nothing other than using Rakuten when I online shop!

I mean... Who doesn’t love FREE money?!

I’ll even give you a little cheat! If you forget to go through Rakuten first, open the store and activate the cash back by selecting it. Then, under the help menu click on “missing cash back” and input your order information. This will link it together and you’ll still earn money on the purchase.

When you sign up, you automatically get a $30 bonus after you’ve made your first purchase! I’ve used it on everything from hotels and rental cars to groceries and clothing!

It’s also super easy to use! But there’s a video below showing you an overview of the navigation as well as how to use the app!

Here’s a link to sign up for your own account; https://www.rakuten.com/r/BLOTTO18?eeid=44749

Amazon Milk Frother

in ,

It's time for another rendition of Friday Faves! I've been loving this milk frother for quite some time now! My cousin Emily actually found this and recommended and my life has never been the same!

Now that the cooler weather is here, I absolutely LOVE that I can make my own lattes from home! This model comes in black (the one I have) found here and also in white found here!

If purchasing the black model, there is a $3 coupon that makes it $38.99 instead of the $41.99 listed price.

This is also an exact dupe for the Ninja frother that I've seen at Target for $99!

So, what have you been loving this week?!

Target Ankle Booties →

It’s time for another edition of Friday Faves! This might be my new favorite series! This week I have to share with you that I am absolutely LOVING these new booties I just scored from Target!


They are the comfiest pair of cute shoes I’ve owned in a long time! There’s just something about Fall this year that I am just diggin’!

Torrid/LB Bra Dupe

in

...and now for a quick non-yoga related PSA:

If you're a fan of the Lane Bryant Balconette or the Torrid Plunge bra, Target's new Auden line has dupes for both!

I'm absolutely LOVING the fact that we can now find bras for our curvier bodies in a big chain store at half the cost! Love that retailers are stepping up their game!

Happy Friday!
