Lovable Friday!

1. Derby Lite

This concept is just killer. I am always looking for new, fun and unique ways to work out. Unfortunately, bobbing on an elliptical machine for 45 minutes just does not do it for me. I get bored and restless at about the 6 minute mark. Cue Derby Lite! It’s a workout based on roller derby, only without the aggressive hits. Each 2-hour workout includes off-skates conditioning, dynamic warm-ups, on-skates skills and drills, upper body strength exercises and cool-down stretching (aka; not boring). Unfortunately, Derby Lite is not offered in Miami (wah!), but you can submit a form requesting that your city be added. I did, and you should too!

Squeeworthy: Dealership the Series

I have a whole lot of beautiful, wonderful and talented friends in California. One of the many reasons I head over there a whole lot. I just can’t handle not seeing them on a regular basis. I’m greedy like that. Anywho, one of their friends, Todd, filled me in on his hysterical online series, Dealership. The site is chock-full of funny little skits starring Todd (I mean, Freebrook) and his buddies that revolve around their work days adventures at a car dealership.

After watching a few episodes, I was cracking up (need me some of those powerblinds) – definitely reminded me of some sort of spin-off of The Office (that’s a compliment). So check it out, spend some quality time watching the gang and shoot them a line or two about how much you loved it (I know you will!).

GIVEAWAY: Cupcakes & Mace Unicorn Necklace!

I’ve been a big fan of the Cupcakes and Mace (what a great name) Etsy shop for awhile now, and have ordered a few fun necklaces from them. I’m sure if you haven’t seen me raving about my own purchases, you have seen at least one, two or twelve Lovable Fridays featuring these cute and original pieces. I love how bright, kitschy and fun their accessories are with such attention to detail. Crafter extraordinaire and shop owner, Kim, is a total doll and decided to team up with me to give away one of my favorite items in her shop: the unicorn necklace!

Honestly, who wouldn’t want the coolest mythical beast (ok, so maybe tied with dragons…) around their neck? Plus, you can choose from a cornucopia of colors for your horny creature (had to, sorry) to make it more personalized.

Squeeworthy: Fun Finds @ Target

Like any good bargain shopper, I love me some Target (or Tar-jay)!
I especially love their new Marketplace – such a peaceful way to grocery shop…but I digress.

However, this time around I was surprised with some of the fun items I found all for less than $3.
No effin’ joke here.

Maleficent cereal bowl – $2.78

Oh yes, you know I had to grab this one! I don’t even know how I spotted it, but for all those Disney fans, they have a complete Disney villians collection. Online it shows this as part of a set of 6, but it was all by its lonesome at my local Target for that spectacular price. Rummage for your own!

Owl Buddies – $1.00

Yes, you read correctly. I was able to find this adorable duo in the famed Dollar Spot for a dollar each! I could hardly believe my eyes, so naturally a grabbed a pair for myself and another for my owl-obsessed buddy. Unfortunately, I just swung by Target again today (told you it was one of my favorites), and they were already gone. All Targets are different though, so give it a look-see just in case 😉

Paul Frank magnets – $1.38

I love that Target carries Paul Frank products, and not only for the kiddies. I’ve picked up thank you notes, napkins and now magnets for my refrigerator! How cute are they? I love how they compliment all our fun photo booth images I have wallpapering my kitchen appliances. P.S., who can you spot on my fridge?

Happy shopping!
