PRIME DAY SUPER-DEALS!!

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

Don’t forget I’m still in plants & decorating mode right now, so a lot will be stuff I’m getting for my own house (or I already have and LOVE).

Without further ado… here are some of my favorite finds:

 

[lasso rel=”elemis-dynamic-resurfacing-facial-pads-blackhead-refining-treatment-gentle-daily-skin-resurfacer-lactic-acid-tri-enzyme-60-count-jar” id=”116636″]

[lasso rel=”k18-molecular-repair-hair-oil-weightless-oil-for-stronger-healthier-hair-suitable-for-all-hair-types-1-fl-oz” id=”116613″]

[lasso rel=”samsonite-centric-2-hardside-expandable-luggage-with-spinner-wheels-caribbean-blue-3-piece-set-20-24-28″ id=”116627″]

[lasso rel=”introducing-amazon-kindle-colorsoft-signature-edition-essentials-bundle-including-kindle-colorsoft-signature-edition-32gb-black-premium-leather-cover-walnut-and-wireless-charging-dock” id=”116645″]

Lysol Disinfectant Laundry Sanitizer & Scent Booster <— I USE THIS WITH EVERY LOAD (that I don’t use bleach in). So all my colors, my darks, without fail, I use this (my whites, get bleached). I have dogs, so any chance I get to actually disinfect (while I wash) makes me feel so much cleaner. All the throw towels, the t-shirts, the outdoor gardening sweaty work clothes, socks… ALL OF IT washed with this product. Everything comes out smelling so fresh, and I just feel better knowing there’s an extra layer of clean in that load. So… it’s on PRIME DAY sale, and while I normally buy it at Costco, they are out of stock and pretty much only get it in stock once a year. ROAR!!! At least mine does, and I always have to buy a bunch of bottles, so I’m going to take advantage of this one.

Bedsure King Comforter Set – Sage  <— I HAVE THIS EXACT ONE (color and all)!! It’s not necessarily “cooling” 😉  but it’s cute, and cozy and looks pretty done up with a bunch of big pillows and a few throw pillows too. See that waffle blanket? I love that look, and I now you see what I’m going for. Now don’t be fooled, the blanket isn’t AS fluffy as it looks in that picture (supposedly to get that look, it’s multiple layered comforters for the photo), but it’s plenty fine and fluffy once the bed is all made up.

[lasso rel=”beckham-hotel-collection-bed-pillows-king-size-set-of-2-down-alternative-bedding-gel-cooling-big-pillow-for-back-stomach-or-side-sleepers” id=”112232″]

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.

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.

BACK UP POWER SUPPLY!! Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station,1070Wh LiFePO4 Battery,1500W AC/100W USB-C Output, 1 Hr Fast Charge, Solar Generator for Camping,Emergency, RV, Off-Grid Living(Solar Panel Optional) <— I NEEDED THIS LAST NIGHT!! Power went out at 9pm and was out until 1am, so we were laying in the hot, humid night air, trying to sleep, without even a fan blowing to help ease our discomfort. So let’s just say I’m sleep deprived right now, and considering we’ve just hit hurricane season, I should get in on this Prime Day Deal.

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!!

Electric Mason Cordless Vacuum Sealer Kit for Wide-Mouth & Regular-Mouth Mason Jars, for Food Storage and Fermentation, Black <— I HAVE THIS ONE!! I haven’t used it yet, but since I regularly use my bag vacuum sealer, I thought I should have a jar one a swell. This looks so easy to use, and now that I’m growing a garden, I just might be using this a ton. *fingers crossed*

Water Bottle Organizer for Stanley 40 oz Tumbler with Handle, Patented Pantry Kitchen Organizers and Storage for Stanley Cup Accessories, Stackable Water Bottle Holder Wine Rack Gifts, 4Pack <— I NEED THIS for our grand Yeti & Stanley (etc…) tumblers. I have a whole section of my cabinets dedicated (3 shelves worth) to these kinds of tumblers in all sizes for all sorts of drinks, for 4 males (3 sons and a husband) and me. From their travels and souvenir tumblers, to amazing deal tumblers to personalized tumblers to everything in the middle. This would help sort and let us see them better.

Beneath the Sicilian Stars: Emotional and heart-wrenching WW2 fiction by Lindsay Marie Morris <— HISTORICAL “...A family divided by war… a promise forged beneath the Sicilian stars. 1941, Pittsburg, California. Sixteen-year-old Annalisa Aiello huddles around the radio with her family when a special announcement shatters her world: Pearl Harbor has been bombed – where her brother is stationed on the USS Arizona. After the United States declares war, Annalisa watches in horror as her father, a Sicilian fisherman, is arrested as an “enemy alien”. Grappling with grief and harsh wartime restrictions, Annalisa is forced to undertake an unexpected journey across the country to find her father and uncover the sacrifices of the past…”

Fast Boys and Pretty Girls: A Novel by Lo Patrick <— SMALL TOWN MYSTERY – SHE FINDS A BODY “…They say you can never go home again. And sometimes, you shouldn’t. Following a semi-successful career as a teen model in New York City, Danielle Greer has moved back to the mountains of North Georgia and is living in her childhood home with her husband and four daughters. One stifling, lazy afternoon, the girls are exploring the ravine behind the house when they come across a body. Danielle knows the body doesn’t belong to Benji Law, a younger local misfit who Danielle had an illicit relationship with as a teenager. No, his body was found right away, after he was killed in a motorcycle accident on the road in front of her family’s house. Danielle has a good idea who the body might be, but she doesn’t know how it got there…”

Totally and Completely Fine: A Novel by Elissa Sussman <— CELEBRITY ROMANCE! “…In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hell-raiser, sister of superstar Gabe Parker, and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She’s never cared much about labels or what people thought of her, but dealing with her grief over the loss of her husband, Spencer, has slowly revealed that she’s adrift in her own life. Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother’s new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her…”

All’s Fair: A Tropical Summer Romance Novella (Invincible Summer Book 3) by Carina Gaskell <— ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS – THREE DATES IS ALL HE’S ASKING FOR “...Layla hates Lucky. Lucky hates Layla. But when they spend a hot summer night tangled up in sheets, everything they’ve come to know about life, love, and each other, is put into question. Three dates. That’s all Lucky asks for. Three dates is a fair enough chance to see where it can go between them. But Layla keeps her heart closely guarded, and Lucky is running out of time and ways to scale her sky-high brick walls. With summer drawing to a close, a decision must be made before Lucky leaves Dalisay—and Layla—for good…”

Guarded from Havoc (Police and Fire: Operation Alpha) (Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team Book 6) by Gia Cobie <— HER NEIGHBOR’S CABIN DURING A STORM… “…I knew it was a risk venturing over to my new neighbor’s cabin during the storm. After all, I barely knew him. All I’d learned from our chance meeting in the woods was that he was visiting the Adirondacks on a well-deserved vacation, he used to serve in the Army, and he was the most handsome man I’d ever seen. The last part definitely made the whole knocking on a near-stranger’s door offering food and flashlights idea more appealing. When he invited me inside, I nearly said no. But there was just something about Erik that told me I could trust him. That if I didn’t accept his offer, I’d end up regretting it. Then four masked intruders stormed the cabin, with both of us in it. And nothing could have prepared me for what would come next...”

Relationship Goals by Brittany Kelley <— THE HOLLYWOOD STAR & THE SPORTS STAR! “…Ted Lasso meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in this steamy sports romance about an infamous star soccer player who is forced to fake date a Hollywood starlet, only to develop real feelings for her—just as she learns he was pretending and vows to get even. Abigail Hunt’s Hollywood dreams could best be described as slow burn…but she’s about to graduate from TV sidekick to dramatic actor. When the esteemed director of her breakout role suggests a deep dive for her part by shadowing the head of a struggling pro soccer team, she jumps at the chance to prove she’s ready. Getting asked out by notorious grump and gorgeous star player Luke Wolfe wasn’t in the plan, but suddenly her research is getting a lot more…hands-on. Their relationship quickly sets social media on fire, and Luke seems determined to prove he’s more than his villainous reputation...”

Pipes: NOLA Rebels MC – (New Orleans Series Book 14) (NOLA Rebels MC (New Orleans Series)) by Mackenzy Fox <—BIKER ROMANCE “…We couldn’t fight it. Even when I knew I could fall. When I put my heart on the line. I took a chance. I gave in to how he makes me feel. To loving him, like I love this club. But in all the chaos. We dropped our guard. We didn’t see the storm brewing. The cold wind sweeping its way in. Until it was too late. Now the real fight begins. Because I can’t live my life without him. I can’t. He’s the reason I’ll hang on. Even when all hope is lost. Even if it costs me my last breath…”

Where You’re Planted by Melanie Sweeney <— HER ARCHNEMESIS IS THE DIRECTOR!! “…From the author of the “phenomenal achievement” (Kirkus) Take Me Home, a children’s librarian must temporarily move her public library into a shed in the county botanic gardens, where her archnemesis is the assistant director. Single mom Tansy Perkins only has room in her life for her daughter and her library. And maybe the next book to add to her collection. But after a catastrophic hurricane severely damages her library, she’s forced to temporarily move her branch into the adjacent county botanic gardens, where Jack Reid—the world’s grouchiest gardener who rescued her and her daughter from the flood—happens to be the assistant director…”

HAPPY MONDAY AND HAPPY PRIME DAY WEEK (*as of tomorrow)!!!! HOLY MOLY IT STARTS TOMORROW, and I’m staying home all day to play in the deals, the new release day books, and my favorite things… I bet some deals even start today (like these Amazon deals right here 😉 )

Three things:

1.) I watched TWO NEW horror movies this weekend and I’m thrilled!!! I’m thrilled ’causeway husband watched them with me (and he’s not into horror at all). And he enjoyed them (for the most part). I also slept a TON (cold medicines really do a number on my energy – or maybe it was the cold that kept me out). Despite all that, I’m almost halfway through a long (but much-loved book) and I’m enjoying it!!!

So now I’m in the stage of my cold (or was its flu? I had a fever for 2 whole days), but anyway I’m no longer in pain or feverish, or burning from the inside of my face and lungs, or miserable and irritated. Finally… relief. Yes, I’m still gross, but not constantly gross. Ya know? 😂

2.) First horror movie on the docket was the latest Final Destination Bloodlines and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Exciting and scary, and clever (creative when it came to the deaths – these writers are so clever!!), and so in your face about it. I’m giving this a 4.5 STARS!! My full review to come. 😉

3.) “Bring Her Back“ <—- Second movie on the docket was touted as the scariest movie of the year, and “OMG THE trauma”, and the “best movie I never want to watch again” and the subject lines to every review I saw about it gave me an absolute jolt of YESSSSSSS SHOW IT TO MEEEEE!!! I was so excited. It had heart, it was visually so disturbing at times, and I LOVED the story (exactly up my creepy alley), but while to most, this is SCARY, to me it could have gone deeper in a certain aspect, and scare me hard. But it didn’t (and for many – where it went IS the perfect level of depth) but for me… I need that terror to 5-star it. So 4 stars it is!! My full review to come.
