How are you preparing for the Witchy Irene?

I had a FANTASTIC (add sarcasm here) morning.  First, off to the doctor for P (fever) and N (big bug bite).  All is good , no meds, bye bye $40 (copay).  Then off to hubbie's job (30 minutes away, he left his cell home), with a detour to find a Shell gas station.  For those of  you who don't know, Stop and Shop has a big promotion: spend $100 and get 100 points, which equals to $.10 off a gallon of gas at Shell.  I had 500 points which was $.50 off a gallon  (Rock on!).  I drove out of my way on empty to redeem my points and paid $3.49 a gallon.  (Freakin' Awesome price for Long Island.)  Did I forget to mention I also stopped at Dunkin Donuts to feed the crew.  Happy kids= happy life.
 
Then off to Stop and Shop for hurricane Irene essentials!

Here's what I got:





Don't worry everyone!  We will be well fed in my house.  
Marinated steak, chicken cutlets, veggies, cheese and crackers, and chips and dips. 
Don't forget the cookies and M&Ms.   
And of course whipped cream. Can't have a hurricane party without it!

I also earned 240 points this shopping session, which equals $.20 off gas. 
I know, I should have used coupons.  
Maybe next time!

How are you preparing for Irene's arrival?

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up.  Poor baby is teething and miserable!  I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day.  So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff!  It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth.  It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with.  I have used this since high school.  Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) &amp;amp;lt;a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js"&amp;amp;gt;You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear.  I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic.  I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging.  So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs.  Some are basic and others are WILD.  I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes.  You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet!  Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...
