Honey

Im always looking for the best new product for my many needs! I spend a lot of time scouting random things.. Wonder what the next thing i'll find is!
Aegon Dms Cafe Plano
So I got the Groupon that i'm sure alot of you saw, $10 for a $20 deal. It came at awesome time, I had a baby shower to go to and I definitely found some great deals..but of course I couldn't go in just for the baby shower lol, besides finding the baby $5 pants and shorts that weren't plain they actually had pretty cool designs and a Super woman onesie TOO adorable! So then I browsed in the women's section and saw a jean skirt for $15, and some surf shorts for $10, not to mention some clearance shirts which I wasn't sure why they were there but what the heck! I got them for $5 OH yeah! And of course a cute beach time shirt that said Miami Honey super colorful. all in all Old Navy is keeping my attention.

HoneyLub Honestly it hardly hasn't happened for me either lol! It was a really great place! Its in downtown Plano, and the owner did my hair. I had been looking for a good place because the last three previous places REALLY messed up my hair :( but my friend at work recommended this place, and they took care of me. First of all, she used some tint from France that was all-natural! I wasnt sure it would take at first but it did, and it didnt burn my scalp-
HoneyLub UNLIKE this one place a couple years ago that gave me ORANGE HIGHLIGHTS! and they re-did it and it fried my hair . it was a nightmare!
HoneyLub @riddlefish lol heres my country star hair hehe!
beverlynoelle Aaah the pic is cute! I hope mine comes out this cute when I get it done! And the natural tint sounds amazing, did it change your haircolor a lot or was it subtle?
jacq love the photo! awesome 'do!
HoneyLub Thanks! I curled it, but she colored it.. was very different. The color I had before was the one on my original and it took.
Victoria's Secret
Got a soft focus foundation with 20 spf, and its honestly really good! It doesnt get oily, and im a SUPER oily person. Its packed with antioxidants and its almost like it has moisturizer- its perfect with a mineral powder finish..made my make-up look fresh

I had a gift card but the remainder owed was for my boyfriend and gave it to him for his 30th birthday since he's a fan of King- little did i know when I got it that it was going to be a movie this year!! He had Googled about it and found that out!? So hopefully he finishes it before so i can review the book.

lesayoh is this in Berkeley. I like that place
HoneyLub actually they do have one in Berkeley! I like that you can return it when you finish the book and get a different one if you dont think you'll read the book again!
Jack In The Box
I swore to myself I wouldnt eat here again.. but here I go craving their $0.99 tacos and got my bf some food, and we both were curious about the Pumpkin/Egg Nog Shake.. they were worth it.. very good flavor !
· $10.79 credit card purchase
amyuhrich Oh man I miss JITB...I forgot about the seasonal shakes, they are really good! My favorite thing here was the buttermilk biscuit breakfast sandwiches...they were tiny but so inexpensive and gooood. I live on the East Coast now and there is no Jack in the Box here.
HoneyLub OMG They dont have a JITB OVER THERE!? Thats crazy lol, its a good thing though because its SOOO bad for us!
JCPenney
Got my Nephew the new Ursher cologne, and had a $10 coupon. NICE. That cologne smells heavenly on men

JCPenney
So i'm VERY excited about one of the purchases I made here this past weekend.. Ever since my boyfriend and I have met- FOUR years ago in January.. he's been obsessing about finding a Black Addidas jacket with red stripes only on it.. he's seen some that have other things on them and it wasn't exactly the one he's seen some celebrities wear in the past years. Just last week we saw that new movie with Ben Affleck in it, and low and behold he was wearing a Black Addidas with Red stripes on it and of course he was like "Even Ben Afflec has one" lol.. Well! I was finishing up some shopping at JCP and on my way out- i just happen to glance at a whole display of Addidas wear- and I saw a Black one with red stripes only!!! I looked like a nerd getting overly excited for a jacket. It was $35.00 and they even had his size which is hard to find in 2X! I really want to tell him and give it to him now but i GUESS i can wait :( lol

saunieindiego Keeping the gifts secret till xmas is the hardest thing about Christmas for me!
HoneyLub lol i know!! Ive had to stop myself 3x!!
HoneyLub He TOTALLY loved it :-D he seemed shocked i still remembered he's been wanting it since we met lol
productjoy that's really cute, im happy you were able to find it!
HoneyLub He's been wearing it everyday lol!
amyuhrich That's how you know it was a good present. I think I did just as well to get my boyfriend Under Armour :)
Sling Blade (1997)
Theres so much to say about this movie! I was introduced to it a couple nights ago and fell in love with it, and Billy Bob Thorntons performance. He was so believable in his character I can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Its a compelling story about boy that murdered some family members including his mom- and off the bat you think!? WHY? Whats wrong with him.. but in the end you see why..and it might not have been right. but... guess you'll have to see it! Unless im the last person on earth that hasnt :(

girlfriday I think you are the last person! But I'm glad you loved it. This is the movie that put Billy Bob on the Hollywood map.
impulsebuyer I haven't seen this either, but I will delay no more! Sounds interesting
HoneyLub lol see!! I'm not the last person. I can see how this put him on the map.. was awesome.
HoneyLub Have you seen it yet!?
impulsebuyer If you're asking me, the answer is not yet! not for lack of trying though, the redbox I visited didn't have it!
HoneyLub @impulsebuyer heh heh yeah! I think its a movie to track down. Billy Bob is genius i reckon lol!
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Winter Tour 2010
IM SO PSYCHED TO GO HERE! Dec. 19th is hte day! Ive always seen the comercials to see them, growing up I always wanted to but we couldnt afford it. If my mom was here she would have loved to go, but I will be taking my Niece as a Christmas gift. They just seem so awesome and I dont recall them coming to Dallas much. I am such a music geek and know it won't be a dissapointment
· $114.62 from Ticketmaster
riddlefish I want to go to there!!! I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Christmas in Sarajevo is a holiday playlist staple for me. :) Do you have any song recommendations?
beverlynoelle Oh maaaan, I hear they're so awesome live!
HoneyLub You should definitely go! Ive only seen them in videos, but i've been told their live performance is the best all around! So glad i'm not the only music geek around here! I love Christmas Canon, The Christmas Attic Christmas Canon Rock - The Lost . Gets me in the Christmas spirit
amyuhrich I'd forgotten about these guys somehow, they rock! :)
HoneyLub Poo.. so i went last night..and it wasn't what I thought it'd be! :-( I could have sworn the orchestra was bigger? There were a total of 7 people playing in the orchestra, and about 4 guitarist. Also their songs werent all relevant.. but I guess they were trying to introduce some jazz/blues... overall I enjoyed it- but I did expect it to be better than it was!
saunieindiego All their music sounds the same.
$10 Groupon to The Grazing Cow
I got this today, because i'm all about eating REAL food. Not all this trash some grocery stores or restaurants throw at us.. and so i decided to get this Groupon. They swear its real grass-fed all-natural BEEF burgers- and they "aren't pumped with hormones and antibiotics and force fed grains and corn." Im just curious to see what these kind of burgers taste like. So this weekend will give it a whirl.Has anyone seen Food inc??!
lesayoh Ahh old school food. like it should be. where is this place?
HoneyLub Definitely! I can see that its new because its only open 4 hours during the week. Its in Plano TX, and the cows are even from TX lol. I will definitely be expecting flavor
thecornergirl Yes! I watched that documentary on Netflix. There's also one on Obesity and one on America's Debt on Netflix that are pretty good. :) I love documentaries.
HoneyLub @john yes! i saw Food inc. ive been more conscious of what i buy now. ever heard of Sprouts?
HoneyLub @john Its a great grocery store that has alot of all natural food, organic and vegetarian- but im very much a meat person and they have enough of that there too! They even have fresh ground Chicken.. I know theres more locations around the US hopefully one around your neighborhood!
Restaurant.com
Today! I found out you can get these awesome gift certificates for restaurants here. ive gotten like 5 already. Get a certificate for $2!!!!! IDK how long this promo will go. but the way it works is to go to your city, pick as many places as you want ( MAKE SURE U READ THE FINE PRINT) then go check out and enter code Joy and it will discount on the spot to only pay TWO dollars! I got some to my favorite Lebanese place here in Dallas.

beverlynoelle Whaaaat? How am I just now hearing about this? I am a bad internet nerd :(
HoneyLub lol! i didnt know either until a customer told me! lol highly recommend!
productjoy ya restaurant.com is great for when you want to try out a new restaurant =)
HoneyLub @productjoy YES! exactly, its a great place for the adventurous
amyuhrich I really need to try this place; I have a friend who just loves it.
HoneyLub dont forget to check out places this week i think the $2 special is only for so long!
Burlesque
Burlesque, I loved it! I think it can be closely related to Chicago.. same feel to it. I personally loved it because I am an artist at heart and can relate to EVERYTHING in the story line.. She has no family- she's an orphan that escapes through singing and music. She is a nomad trying to find her way in the world with nothing much to lose- and her talent is finally noticed in the right way, while meeting supportive people. I heard alot of bad reviews for this movie that Christina was not believable (BLAH BLAH)! but dont they say that about most singers turned actresses?! Who are these critics!?? They are obviously not looking at the art, music, singing, talent and have something stuck up their booty. It might be slightly seductive, and make-up caked on at times but that is Burlesque. It could have been expanded on some parts of it, but it kept my attention the whole time and that is hard for me to do period :D If anyones seen it..let me know what YOU think!

amyuhrich Thanks for the info - I have my doubts about this movie, but some part of me kind of loves Christina Aguilera. So, you know. Thanks for making me feel less silly about checking it out.
HoneyLub You're very welcome! I think it worth a watch- If you're an open person. I love Christina's music in the past- mostly just her voice now :( sadly her last album wasn't very good to me.. only one song stuck.
riddlefish So there's obviously a lot of vocal talent in this movie, but are the songs any good? How about the storyline? I guess what I want to know is, should I see the movie or just listen to the soundrack? :D
ryannie I loooved this! Christina's voice never disappoints, the songs are awesome great songs (use it to warm up the dance team).You cant go wrong with the soundtrack! but I would watch the movie as well because its awesome, a little risque but not the less a showstopper.
amyuhrich @riddlefish Good point. But regardless of whether you end up liking it, I think you've got to watch something like this for the visuals. I mean, it's burlesque! And you'll hear the soundtrack either way.
HoneyLub @ryannie- Glad to hear you loved it! She gives it her all when she sings and that's what I love about her, so it wasn't like a half done performance. The sound track would be good to listen to- but the movie is cute i guess you can say! Its not like an UNPREDICTABLE story really, lol but you might want to see the dance numbers, and her love interest isnt bad looking either ;-D
U R Blue Goose Addison U R Blue
This little hole in the wall Mexican place is very good! I was skeptic when I saw the name, it just doesnt go with Mexican food lol, but they had a flour tortilla maker in the middle of restaurant and parking lot was packed so I knew something was right. I had the beef fajita platter and it was a lot for one person. It was a happy environment and my stomach approved!

HoneyLub It will be paid off in November 2013! :( Toyota Corolla s 2010. Really wish I had gotten an SRX, but hey it takes $23 to fill the tank roughly so at the moment it will do.
beverlynoelle Woot woot! Three years isn't so bad!
HoneyLub lol i guess not! But somehow the side view mirror is going in by itself with the wind! I need to take it to the dealership.. it only has 2000 mi on it lol
michaelaking just paid off my yota... feels good. good luck hope they fix your issue
HoneyLub @Michaelaking- thats awesome! I cant wait to pay off mine. Keep on keepin on!
Thanks iamphilsharp!
michaelaking want some ump at take off get a performance air filter. When I used to work at the dealership I would take out the filter when driving places, because it made a huge difference. The air filter in those cars are so restrictive.

I cracked up so many times because I actually related and got the jokes lol
