Microtrend: Colorful Clutches

I love clutches. And right now, we are seeing them in lots of bright colors - also called a microtrend. Personally, orange is a favorite of mine. Head over to Bags Bonanza and bid on any bag you want. This Lauren Merkin orange clutch is $50 OBO. The same one on eBay is selling for $75.

I will have to do another entire post on buying used. I just bought a gorgeous pair of Hive and Honey shoes on eBay for $15.99.

Deal: Go Green Goodie Bags

I admit it, I use a LOT of ziplock bags. I buy them in mass at Costco too. First step is admitting the problem, right?

One smart momma started this business and makes these "go green goodie" bags lined with food-safe nylon for use over and over again. They are only $7.50 and come in boy or girl themes - appropriate for both adults & kids. She'll also embellish them with buttons for free if you write that in the "notes" section of your order!

Beyond snacks, they can be used for holding just about anything. Get a few for yourself in celebration of earth day or buy for a gift for a new mom or friend's upcoming birthday. And re-use - again and again!

Free Starbucks Coffee or Tea on 4/22

In recognition of Earth Day - Starbucks is offering a free cup of brewed coffee or tea when you bring in your own reusable cup on 4/22. Imagine the impact - millions of paper cups will not be thrown away that day! In addition, if you buy a reusable cup on 4/22, receive a 20% discount.

Target Daily Deals

If you haven't signed up yet, I would encourage you to sign up for Target's Daily Deals. Always free shipping and a reduced price, you can't beat it (if you need the daily deal). Today's Deal is Mossimo Junior Long & Lean tanks. Be sure to order a size up from your normal size - since I can assure you I am no longer a "Junior" size. These are nice and snug, but long and super for layering.

Today's offer is $8 a tank, buy one get one (BOGO) for $1. Mine was $9.86 for two tanks, including tax (free shipping).
