Pillows, Blackheads & Coupons, Oh My! (Fun Fact Friday, the tenth or something like that.)
Summer has gotten away from me. I haven’t been posting as much as I sometimes do simply because I have real life things to do that are more important. Some fun facts to catch you up…
-I sleep with a leg pillow and have for years. I need a memory foam pillow for my head, tucked perfectly into “the nook” of my neck and a firm but fluffy pillow for behind or between my knees. If you’ve never slept with a leg pillow, you don’t know what you’re missing. You may never have a sore back in the morning again and you’ll have me to thank.
-I had my first facial last weekend. Blackhead extraction hurts like a mothertrucker, but my skin was as soft as Bella’s cute little butt. Have you ever had one? It’s not something I’d do often, but it might be a nice thing to do annually.
-I have recently started using coupons. Only for things I buy anyway otherwise it would just be stupid. I’ve always clipped coupons but now I actually take them to the store sometimes. At the last 15% Tuesday I got over $540 worth of groceries for $420. Eighty bucks was my 15% discount and $40 was coupons. It’s fun! (No, I don’t spend $500 on groceries every week – I was stocking up and getting new flours & ingredients etc for recipes I am trying this month.)
And you?
How many pillows do you sleep with?
Have you ever had a facial?
Do you clip coupons?

You’ve got to be kidding me….I just typed this HUGE comment and it didn’t go….must have been sp in spaghetti again….argh!!!
Shorter version of my comment:
I sleep with 5 pillows, but I don’t count cuz I’m pregnant!
Yes, I”ve had a facial, I just don’t get why you break out after a treatment that is supposed to make you look good
Yes, I clip coupons and I have a cute little case for them and everything, I just never remember to use them!

I’ve had 2 facials. They were both really nice. I like massages better so if I get a spa treat I go for those.
I sleep with a big body pillow to throw my leg over and 2 pillows for my head. Got used to the long pillow when I was pregnant and used an awesome long curvy pillow.
I clip coupons, but like you, have just started bringing them with me to the store.

I had facials when I was younger, but now since I have two kids robbing me blind every time I walk through the store doors, I do my own with natural products. Funny how parenthood changes things.

I sleep with one feather pillow behind my head, and sometimes one under my back.
I LOVE coupons! It’s a natural high when I can walk out of the store paying 2 bucks for 20 dollars worth of groceries. Looks like you do great at that too.

The leg pillow is awesome! I also like to hug a pillow.
What I would really wish for is a pillow that always stays cold!
Never had a facial.
I clip coupons but always forget them!

I sleep with just one pillow, a thin down one, thin because it’s easier on my neck, in a hypoallergenic pillow case.
I’ve had a few facials in my time and think they’re great. Blackhead extraction can be a pain, literally, but it does seem to clear up my skin for a while afterward. I think they’re worth it from time to time.
Love yer blog!

I’ve slept with a leg pillow ever since I was pregnant with my 1st DD 14 years ago, I cannot sleep with out one. It is heaven.
I did a home blackhead remover and well OMG it hurt like a mothertrucker (love that one).
I love 10% Tuesday! I haven’t been back to my local store offering that since the “incident”, I’ve moved on to others. But I love the discounts, must try adding coupons to increase the thrill

I sleep with 2 pillows
Never had a facial
And as far as coupons go, I do clip them and I do have an organizer, and when I forget to use them I take the receipt back to the store, tell them I forgot to use them and they give me cash back. Give it a try, it can’t hurt to ask!

I only sleep with one pillow even though I have a ton. I throw them all of the bed when i got to sleep. I sometimes do use a 2nd as a leg pillow though.
I’ve never had a facial, even though I could use that blackhead remover thing.
I use coupons, love it. I don’t do as much with food because there never seems to be coupons for what I buy. But at CVS & Walgreens I really save a ton of money. I haven’t had to actually pay for toothpaste or toothbrushes since before Christmas & have spent pennies on toilet paper & shampoos!
