Michael has been slowly getting better, so I went out to run some errands. I ended up at Bath and Body Works. (Is it just me that always ends up at this store? It's right next to my target, and I'm always there). There is something about this store that turns me into a 12 years old girl trying to smell good for my latest crush in English class.
It's their semi-annual sale, and if you spend $25, you receive a free cute denim bag. And, I had to have the bag. (The bag was only $15, but that wouldn't have been the point). So, Michael got a duck (like he doesn't have enough), I got lotion, hair products, shower gel, etc. etc.
I immediately came home and turned the cute bag into a diaper bag. I purchased or was given 4 different diaper bags, but always use free bags from bath and body works. Yes, bags, you heard me right, I've done this buy crap get the free bag before thing. I refused to buy the expensive $200 diaper bags when I was pregnant on principle alone, now I probably have $1,000 in diaper bags buying the products to get them.
Waiting for me at home was a Bliss spa set. Due to a big screw up with a Christmas present, they ended up sending me this for free. (I love Bliss products, if you have never tried them and you need a treat you totally should. I would vote for this for a cool mom pick. You there Kristen, also at the mom trap?) So, my bathroom looks like land of smelly products.
Doug has been telling me for years that I am a slave to marketing. Package it pretty, put it on TV, and I want it. It's like I'm 5. Don't ask about my love of infomercials.
(I promise to make a blog resolution to stop with the parentheses, and my excessive use of commas).

I know this is an old post and I’m coming to it years late, but marketing COUPONS and sales get me all the time. I will buy something I don’t need and never use just because I have a coupon — it’s so bad my entire family makes fun of me for this. I have recently gotten better and I try to go through coupons and match them to sale items each week — but still … right now, I have a pantry full of canned beans … because they were on sale! I guess that means we’re having CHILI this weekend.
