Stuff & Or Things

Not that I don't love my beauty blog, but sometimes I want to talk about other stuff. For instance, I'm trying to lose weight and on Monday I'm starting The Fresh Diet after a groupon deal they had over the weekend (and I also won 3 free days on their facebook page). Still prohibitively expensive, but maybe it will get me over the hump. I've been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for nearly 2 months now after my larger 20 pound loss. So I wanted a place to chronicle that and photograph and kind of review the food.

I'm also a part of a community called Influenster and recently they sent me a box of stuff to trial and review. Well, among the things I'm really loving, is a natural sweetener called ZSweet. I am an Equal or Sweet n Low girl. I generally dislike the "natural" ones. I really disliked Truvia and I'm not a big fan of Spenda either. But ZSweet is actually decent. I've used it in my coffee for the past couple weeks at work in lieu of Equal or the pink stuff.

Oh, and speaking of groupon, a few months ago they had a deal at the GAP and I stopped in there tonight after work (I also stopped by Victoria's Secret since they sent me a coupon for a free pair of undies and $10 off any purchase - hooray for 3 pairs of undies $6). So at the GAP I totally scored. So first of all the groupon was $25 and was good for $50 of GAP items (so everything was basically already 50% off already). My local GAP had tons of stuff on clearance and it looked like there was some sort of additional discount, maybe 10 or 15%.

I hauled:

Bootcut Denim by Gap

$19.97 + ?% off

Plus Tops by Gap

$14.97 + ?% off (to wear with skinny jeans open (covers the bum)

Something similar to this for $8.97 plus the discount.

Clothing by Gap

Two pairs of leggings (gray and black) $5.97 each

Well, and I paid $6 or so out of pocket. Still awesome though.

So welcome to random land. My semi-frequent ramblings.
