ReDub the Bub

As celebration season approaches, you're bound to have some leftover sparkling something-or-other. Heed this tip from Real Simple Magazine (via CupOfJo) :

Drop a raisin into a bottle of flattening champagne (or prosecco, or whatever). Any smidge of carbon dioxide left in the liquid will glom on to the wrinkly raisin and then release in the form of tiny bubbles.

Presto! Reinvigorated bubbly.

Updates

Okay, I KNOW.

I haven't posted here in what, a month? Ridic. But look at this and tell me I haven't been busy! It's been a CRAZY few months of projects and planning, but I do have a few updates for you.

I mentioned CrowdTap a while back - Well, about a week ago I applied to be a part of a group to test a product. Specifically the Old Navy Style Council's test of women's outerwear. Low and behold I was chosen to participate, and received a coupon in the mail to go choose ANY PIECE of women's outerwear FOR FREE. Not only that, but they sent a coupon for me to give to 'a stylish friend' so another lucky duck could cash in as well.

It seems to good to be true, I know, but I am living proof it's legit : Went to my local Old Navy yesterday, and although the cashier looked at the coupon long and hard, once she rang it my $89.94 neon red/orange thigh-length felted coat went down to a big fat goose egg. Woooooot! So get yourself over to CrowdTap and sign up. It certainly paid off big time for me, and the cost is just answering a few (0-5) survey questions a week.

Another update is on Missoni for Target. You all shared in my glee at scoring three pieces : A chiffon sweater, velour hoodie, and a pair of ballet flats. After a short delay (4 weeks instead of 2) I received the chiffon sweater and it is stellar. The velour hoodie met a much sadder fate - Cancelled. Target to the rescue, however, sending me a $25 gift card for my disappointment. The ballet flats are estimated to show up sometime in December... If they show at all. But hey, if Target's handing out $25, I'll take it. They can certainly pay me $50 for not getting anything.

All for now... And, let's face facts, probably all for a while. Feel free to follow my project-o-rama over on In Knots: Attempting a Handmade Wedding if you need a dose in the meantime.

Missoni Success!

Woohoo!

After 4 hours of stalking and hitting the refresh button until my finger blistered, I FINALLY got through to the Missoni sale on Target.com.

I picked up the ballet flats, velour hoodie, and the v-neck tissue sweater. I don't know how I managed (erm, actually I do - My bank account said N-O.), but I resisted the robe, sweater skirt, and pajama pants. Oh and the throw blanket, but that was sold out in all three colorways by the time I arrived on the scene. Drat!

Anyway, here is an article about the massive virtual stampede to Target.com from The Washington Post (makes me laugh since I was one of those online crazies), and here is the link to the Missoni goodies. Stores are apparently receiving shipments tomorrow and Thursday to restock.

Based on the current eBay sales, it may be worth snapping up whatever you can find... The shoes I bought for $29.99 are currently listed there (eBay) for $180!

Don't Miss(oni) It!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I feel like I've been counting down the days for.ev.er, but I can finally say: Missoni for Target launches tomorrow!

 

I'll be attacking my computer basically as soon as I'm awake to see what I can snap up before the hordes move in.

Apparel, home, and goodies for the kiddos, which, even if you don't have any to buy for is worth ogling purely for the cuteness factor.

www.Target.com TOMORROW!
