CHECK IN: StillShoppin'? SUNDAY 11/25 - All are WELCOME!

Good morning.

No mall shopping for me. I prefer to limit my exposure to insanity as much as possible these days. I did get a fantastic deal on a face cream that I have used for years after the company sent me an email for a flash sale. Last year they had the sale and it sold out in hours but I snagged it this year. 86% off my favorite wrinkle-battler. It's expensive and the only thing I have found that works for me so I usually buy it full-price as it so rarely goes on sale.

Heavy rain last night, very foggy this morning, but temps will be above freezing for at least the next week. That's all I ask for. It looks like the fog is starting to lift and I see a little strip of blue up there so it should be a decent day. Got all the plants in the basement, tucked in for the winter. There's only a few things left to take care of in the garden and then we are done for the year.

I got on the scale this morning and had a very pleasant surprise. DOWN 0.2 pounds. I ate like a maniac on Thanksgiving but have been in control for the last two days, thanks to refusing to take leftovers home from DD's house. Yesterday I had a mad craving for pumpkin cheesecake and was very grateful that I had none in the fridge. I STILL have that craving this morning and undoubtedly would not have been able to resist a slab or two. Or three. I also was doing okay for the few days before Thanksgiving and didn't do that "have a sensible meal before you go" thing, which has never worked for me. So the festivities lasted for ONE DAY and the strategy appears to have been successful.

Two more holidays to go and our anniversary. KOKO, bigtime.

I'm in.I did find some really good sales at Bealls over the weekend.

fullmahina Congrats on your loss.

Have a good day all.

It is out of stock at the manufacturer's site and at Sephora too. It seems to sell out every winter--I bought a regularly-priced jar in October, anticipating the cold/dry season rush.

A while ago the manufacturer sent an email about unauthorized sellers. Unfortunately, I DID order a few years ago from a seller on Amazon.com and it was obviously counterfeit---smelled funny, the jar was a bit different, etc. FABULOUS price, of course, and I congratulated myself on finding such a great bargain. I ended up tossing it. Sephora and QVC are authorized dealers but I am not sure about anyone else.

I use their eye cream too---it's the only thing I can find that doesn't make my eyes all teary.

Good evening to all!!

Been a rainy rainy Sunday, did some cleaning, laundry and lots of relaxing.... I adore the Christmas movies ( I tear up easily) , so a hot cup of chai tea and couch blankets.... Wow.

No cyber Monday here.... But I will be buying the silvercrest air fryer on Thursday at our aldi/ lidl store. Crock pot and air fryer in one year...

Hugs and happy Sunday to all!

I had a lengthy post prepared and the browser froze. The draft feature didn't save it!

Highlights:

fullmahina,DebDoesWW, I want a magic fat-melting cream.

reneinitaly, have you seen the Ninja cooker that does slow cooking, pressure cooking, and air frying? Expensive but 3 popular methods in one device.

Theater: Went last night. Lungs got gassed by perfume and fresh roses the gal sitting in front of me brought to give to someone in the cast. I had taken an N95 face mask with me, so wore it and it blocked the polluted air but was very uncomfortable. I think this season will be my last for live theater.

Cooking: Have a Turkey breast in the refrigerator. Think I will roast it today and find creative ways to use it throughout the next week.

Shopping: linda72, I also avoided physical shopping except for the empty grocery stores. I picked up a few BF bargains from Amazon and a number of things I've wanted but hadn't gotten around to ordering. Deliveries coming for the next few days.

WW: I totally spaced out the fact that today is Sunday and didn't even think about going to a meeting until it was too late to launch myself. I'll rendezvous with my WW homies tomorrow.

That's it for this news break. I hope everyone is having a great day. KOKO.
