They say it's your birthday. We are gonna have a good time....
Yep, I have that song stuck in my head. And yes, it is my birthday. And yes I am working. How rude is that? And I had to get up at 5:30 am today. Again, how rude.
But anyways, today I turn 38.
I have written facts about myself in the past, but that gets harder to add more and new ones each year.
So today I am doing my usual Amazon post. And maybe Wednesday I will have a recap of any festivities that I did?!
linking up with Tanya
So what did we buy in July?
I mentioned this in a Friday Favorites post, but I bought these memory cards for the girls Kindle Kid Fire's since we had problems with storage and capacity. They have definitely helped and were so easy to add to the fires.
I also talked about these in a Friday Favorites. The girls love them so far and they are so much easier to tighten than their old ones. The girls say they are comfy as well. And they are only $15ish each.
I talked about these scrubbers in a Friday favorites post a week and a half ago. I love these. This three pack is a great deal and we use them at home and for travel. And you can put them in your dishwasher when they need to be cleaned and they are as good as new. Way more sanitary than the traditional loofas we all used to use.
This is another repurchase. It was time to refill Walter's probiotics so I did the order again feature.
I have been wanting a silk pillowcase for awhile. It is great for your skin and your hair (especially with extensions), but I didn't want to pay $100 for the one I saw on Nordstrom (the hyped up one). So I searched Amazon and this one had amazing reviews. So far I like it and my hair isn't as crazy when I wake up in the morning. As I use it more, I will give a more detailed review.
This is my favorite pancake mix and I haven't been able to find it in stores where I live. So I ordered a four pack on Amazon. I did make homemade ones last weekend since I didn't have any of this left and they were really good. So I think I will be alternating between homemade and this one.
This was a gift for my nephew. He loves working out with his dad and he is in a kids fitness competition at the SF Giants stadium and we thought he would love these.
Rory bought two shampoos for himself instead of a shampoo and conditioner, so I bought him the conditioner.
I have had my Shark Steam Mop for about a year now and it was time to replace the pads. These pads work on more than the Shark Steam Mop as well. They got great reviews and fit the steam mop perfectly.
This was another gift for my nephew for his birthday. We saw some kids who had these when we were in Graeagle for the 4th of July and all the kids thought these were cool. So we got a set for my nephew.
We already have books one through three. The girls love these book so much that it was time to get another. I am sure I will be getting books 5, 6 and 7 soon as well.
And that is it for our July purchases. What did you buy this month on Amazon Prime?
Great finds and even GREATER YOU! Happy Birthday sweetheart! Hope it’s perfect despite work. 38 was my Favorite year, no joke!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you loved 38. I hope it is a great year. And thank you for the birthday wishes.
DeleteHappy birthday to you!! Wishing you a great day! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThank you Biana.
DeleteHappiest of birthdays to you, my friend!!! Those goggles are PERFECT! Love!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. The goggles are a hit with my girls.
DeleteHappy birthday! I have a silk pillowcase and I can definitely tell the difference when I travel and use other types. I have thought about bringing mine along but I don't want to accidentally leave it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea to travel with it or get a second one for travel too. I have liked it so far. And better for my skin too.
DeleteHappy Birthday!!!! I will be joining the 38 club with you in 15 days. Ahhh! I have a not silk brand pillow case that I love as well. I don't see why they cost so much, I feel like people pay for the name? I keep meaning to pick up a Princess in Black book for Zoe. I need to do that. Hope you have a great birthday week!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yay for August birthdays. I feel like they pay for the name as well. So far I really like mine. It is good for your skin and my hair. Oh we definitely loved this new book.
DeleteLove those bike lights! Adding them to the list of Christmas ideas (ahh can't believe I'm thinking about that already!) :)
ReplyDeleteOh I should get them for my girls too. I can't believe we are already thinking about Christmas as well. So crazy, but you gotta get the good deals while you can.
DeleteYou like your Steam Mop? I've been looking at it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my steam mop. It is so satisfying seeing how dirty the pad is after each use. And the fact that it uses water instead of soap is the best. I use mine all the time.
DeleteThe bike wheel lights are so fun! :)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday - I hope you have a wonderful day, even if you have to work! I make sure to always take my birthday off work so we can do something special :)
Hope your week is going well!
Away From The Blue
Yes they are.
DeleteI usually take my birthday off too, but this year I had to work. Oh well, there is always next year.
Hope you are having a good week as well.
Happy belated birthday! Hope you're having a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThe lights for the bike are so cool - I'm sure your nephew will love them. And I always love to see when people buy books. :)

You are very welcome!
DeleteI hope you had a fabulous birthday! I am definitely going to have to keep those body scrubbers in mind next time I need to replace my loofah; I love that they are dishwasher safe.
ReplyDeleteI did have a good birthday. and yes to those scrubbers. They last so much longer.
