Bridal Show and New Stuff!

A friend asked if I gave up my blog for lent so i decided that was probably a good hint that I don't post as much as I should.. :) So I'm posting an extra good blog to make up for my lack of blogs!

Anyways..

Yesterday my mom and I went to the Auburn Bridal Show. It wasn't a very big show but it was so fun!! My mom paid the $5 entry fee and I was told to sign in at the entry booth as the bride and enter to win a variety of prizes and get a big blue bag that tells the vendor "I'm the bride" and they fill it with fliers and swag!! Sweet right? I was so excited!! I got candy and samples and lip gloss and bath stuff!! Not to mention a congrats and a "What a lovely ring!" from every vendor! It was so much fun! We pretty much have our caterer and cake bakery picked and we don't even have a date in sight! Gosh! the samples were so yummy! I even won a gift basket! My mom and I were at the back of the building and the raffles were being given away at the entrance... SO when they called my name and announced "Molly Miller? going once...?" I took off running and knocked over a photographers sign! :) Don't worry I got there in time and won a basket filled with a bottle of wine, some fancy trail mix and truffles! (I'm keeping the truffles, my mom got the trail mix and I'm giving Aaron's mom the wine! win-win-win!) I would say it was a very successful outing and I now want to hit every bridal show in the area! :)

On to the New Stuff!!

I have discovered a few amazing things I just have to share!

First, Naiad Soaps and lip balms!

sold on Etsy or in bulk for wholesale on a different site (I love the product so much I'm considering selling some of the soaps and lip balms as a side thing at my station in the salon)

at the bridal show a travel agent selling honeymoon deals was giving brides bath fizzies and really cute lip balm, which I absolutely love! So i looked up the label on the back and everything the company sells has such cute packaging and I tell you.. the lip balm is amazing and the toasted coconut flavor is yummy (only $3.50 on Etsy and will last a long time)!! I want to order some more of it in the other fun flavors! But here are some of the favorite products I've seen and hope to order!!


So cute right??

Second, The TV show Chopped!!


I am completely addicted to this show! reruns run on weeknights and the new ones are on at 9 pm Sunday nights! so entertaining and I always get so anxious to hear what they are going to pull out of the secret ingredient baskets and see what they will have to incorporate into their dishes!! If you like Hells Kitchen... you will love this show!!
and lastly, FunkyChunky!!


This online company is amazing and i sent Aaron a box of the delicious peanut butter pretzels for our 2 year anniversary!! They mailed it to his college campus and everything!!! They had amazing customer service and I am now a customer for life!!

so this was going to be the end of my blog.. But in the middle of my writing about the bridal show.. I got a call from a travel agent that I had won the honeymoon gift basket I entered in for!! :) I just got back from picking it up!! I think I have a gift for winning stuff!!! Two gift baskets!!! Anyways this was actually the one basket I really wanted!! check it out!! p.s. - Thank you Aaron for not only making me the happiest woman on earth by giving me a life with you.. but thank you for making me a bride!! :)
