Latest Romance Book Releases + PRIME DAY FUN DAY #1 – 07-11-2023

WEDNESDAY PRIME DAY #2 UPDATE: 😃  Most of the Prime Day deals below are still going strong, so I left the list as is for the most part. I only had to cross out two of them (they appear to be sold out). Some of the prices  (maybe for 3 items) are no longer “Prime Day prices”, but are still nicely discounted from regular, so I left them up too. Afterall, these are all items I either own and love, or purchased and you might love them too!

So today, I have a second Prime Day Bargain Finds post #2 (and it will include book bargains as well). Happy shopping or window shopping!!! 😉

HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY & PRIME DAY!!!!! I love Prime Day so hard, and I have a list of stuff I’m looking for. YAY!! I will post what I find, and stuff I think we all might like, too. 🙂 If you find something awesome, let me know (books or Prime Day stuff) and I’ll add them too.

Keep checking back ’cause I’m still building today’s book list, and will be going back and forth as I find goodies, too. It will be an all-day event here on this post.

PRIME DAY SUPER-DEALS!!

➔➔ ALL THE PRIME DAY SALES THAT ARE LIVE RIGHT NOW and here some of my own exciting finds:

YUHO Shirataki Konjac Angel Hair Pasta <— OH YEAH!!! I just ordered two boxes of these Konjac noodles (they are my “angel hair” spaghetti noodles that are 0 carbs and only 5 calories per envelope. This is a DEAL for me. So if you are also low carb or Keto, these are something to try. I love them. They also have “spaghetti”, “fettuccine” “rice” and a few other styles. I also love the Fettuccini, so I think I’ll grab a box or 2 of those also. 🙂

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector <— EXCELLENT DEAL HERE!!! Small little bottle of hair conditioning perfection (but it’s not actually a conditioner. You put it on your hair AND THEN wash it out and condition etc etc. It rebonds your hair and my hair becomes absolutely silky. Just check out the reviews!!). I usually pay $30 or more for this bottle and it’s on Prime Day sale right now so I’m buying myself another one!!! This stuff ROCKS. —> IT SEEMS ALMOST ALL OF THE OLAPLEX LINE IS ON PRIME DAY SALE (other treatments, shampoo & conditioner etc) so check them all out here.

Instant Vortex Plus XL 8-QT Dual Basket Air Fryer Oven, From the Makers of Instant Pot <— I JUST BOUGHT THIS!! I already have an air fryer that I posted about last Prime Day, but my issue with it, is it looks like a toaster over, and it’s hard to clean, and it smells when oils and cheeses burn when people use it to cook again (which is daily). I miss my basket air fryer that I had when I lived alone (easy to clean the basket) so I’m hoping this one will work for this 5 people family (and often 7 people when the girlfriends are here). SO yep… we’re going to try this. 🙂 P.S. Here are the other Instant Pot Air Fryers (in smaller sizes – amazing deals here. Had I still been on my own, this is the one I would have purchased).

Kitchenaid Artisan Mini Plus 3.5-Qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer with Flex Edge Beater <— A MINI ONE???? I have the full sized one and I love it but it takes up a bunch of space and is super heavy! This would have totally been my go to, if I didn’t have mine already. Ooooooh look at this matte black one!! Sexy!

essence | Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara <— THIS ONE IS ALLLLLLLL THE RAGE (check out the reviews. How crazy!) and it’s a Prime Day Deal. Usually I buy this one (and it is usually a Prime Day Deal, but not this time… *sigh*) so I’m gonna try the new Princess one, and see if I love it just as much. 😀

SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream <— THIS IS MY FAVORITE BODY CREAM IN THE WORLD! Smells decadent and amazing (like tropical fruit but not so fruity, sweet and warmer… richer), everyone stops me to ask me what I’m wearing, and I converted my colleagues at work to it, too. Super moisturizing, and it has caffeine in it I think, to tighten things up. And the name makes me laugh ’cause we call our “butt” a “bum” or for kids, a “bum bum” in Canada.

ALL GONE!!Bissell PowerFresh Lift-Off Pet Steam Mop, Steamer, Tile, Bathroom, Hard Wood Floor Cleaner <— I SAW THIS ON INSTAGRAM (she lifted the steamer-thing right off the base and cleaned the walls with it!!) I love this. I have hardwood floors, and I have a stinky dog, and I have walls that when he shakes his head side to side, he flings… well anyway… I need this. MINE!!!

SONORO KATE Bed Sheets <— UPDATE!! PRIME DAY DEAL IS DONE BUT STILL A GREAT PRICE + A $3 COUPON. THESE ARE MY FAVORITE BED SHEETS!! The only thing I put on my bed now, and I have gotten rid of every other sheet set I had (except for two sets of flannel 😉 Must have those). They have deep enough pockets to wrap around my large mattress, they are soft and silky (but not satin-silky – those are too slippery for me). I’m talking about feather light… super soft, and just touchable. I have these in black, dark grey, regular grey and my favorite… WHITE!!) I will be getting more (my dog chewed through the top-sheet of my light grey ones – that jerk! As well as chewing through my pillow cases – he loves how soft they are against his stupid teeth!) Grrr. LOL!! 😂

Utopia Bedding Full Body Pillow for Adults (White, 20 x 54 Inch) <— PRIME DAY DEAL!! I SLEEP WITH 2 BODY PILLOWS (one on each side of me, since I’m a side sleeper, all I need to do is flip over and yep! There’s already a pillow waiting for me. Oh and I hate when my knees touch on my side, pressure points and it hurts my hips a bit too, but a body pillow fixes my alignment just right). Anyway, one of my body pillows is maybe 20 years old now? LOL! It’s a flat pancake, so I need to replace it. With this one! Also because reviews say it’s soft and squishy which is what I need. Too firm and my body can’t wrap around it right, and my alignment gets out of wack but at a higher angle. Nope. That hurts. So this one sounds perfect! YAY!!!

Hoover WindTunnel 3 Max Performance Pet, Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner <— I JUST GOT THIS!! PRIME DAY DEAL!! I have a Roomba and I love her dearly, but with my huge Great Dane that sheds a ton and I need a quick way to vacuum the carpet in my bedroom, for regular carpet washing. Roomba can do it, but she takes a lot longer. When I’m in a hurry, this fits my needs nicely! YAY ME!! While I’m here, this is my carpet cleaner (also an amazing one, super easy to use, and easy to clean, which is why I chose the matching vacuum. 😉 )

BISSELL Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner <— PRIME DAY DEAL!! CAN YOU TELL I HAVE DOGS? This thing is a little powerhouse, and when I’m not having to pull out my whole carpet cleaner (or I don’t have time for the whole shebang) this little guy does the trick. Like… when someone ate something that does not suit his stomach *sideeyes Havoc, my dog!!*), or like when my 16 year old MinPin has an accident, this thing to the rescue. Or when the youngest spills his root beer in his room… this thing to the rescue!!

Phillips HUE lights <— HUGE PRIME DAY DEALS!!! MY OLD HOUSE & NOW MY NEW HOUSE IS DECKED OUT IN PHILLIPS COLOR HUGE LIGHTS! Can’t live without these. My man thought it was a silly expense (he was fine with our regular led lights), until we put them all in, and got everything setup (lamps and lights on top of our cabinets, lights behind our TVs and alllll of that) and now he is HOOKED on this setup. He tells everyone, it’s a bit expensive if you want the whole house done up, but once it’s done it’s a life changer. You can start small, or go big like I did. All the various shades, and lighting combinations can make a house feel lively and bright, or cozy and serene. It’s sheer ambiance perfection.

ALL GONE!!!Vitamix 5200 Blender, Professional-Grade, Container, Black, Self-Cleaning 64 oz <— PRIME DAY DEAL (and MEGA deal at that – almost half price!) THIS is the one I wanted that can also make hot soup. I have one but not the one that gets hot. My man bought it for the house when we first moved it (for pina coladas and such 😉 ), and paid a bit over $500 for it, so this is an incredible deal! My boyfriend likes to say it’s so strong it’s the equivalent of a wood chipper. LOL!! P.S. ONLY the black one is this crazy price. Check out the prices of the other colors just to give you an idea of how amazing this price is!

Cable Organizer Bag <— I HAVE TWO OF THESE (yes, I have too many cables, and little plugs, and thumb drives and etc etc…) but if you like to organize like I LIKE to organize, this is THE thing to help out your desk drawers, or wherever you keep all these things that get tangled together. You’re welcome! This is the other one I have (I love this one even more… it has more pockets and storage areas as well as the large are for mice and stuff).

iRobot Roomba i7+ (7550) Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal <— ANNNNND WHILE I MENTIONED HER… here is my Roomba (not a Prime Day deal – but I got her on a Prime Day deal or was it Black Friday last year?). On days I’m not in a hurry, I just let her do her thing on my hardwood floors and my carpeted bedrooms. I went from a very basic model with no app (Roomba 614, that lasted me 7 years at my old house and I have since given it to my in-laws and they love it!! Yep, that’s how sturdy that thing is and I haven’t changed a single component in it yet except for the filter) and now this is my girl. She’s a tad bit more finicky (she has an app, plus all of these extra features that are fun but she sometimes gets confused. Or is it me?) It might be me. 😂  LOL! But nothing that can’t be quickly figured out via the app. P.S. THERE IS A ROOMBA ON PRIME DEAL!! It’s this one —> iRobot Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum
