(She's kind of a big deal so when she says she likes something, I take it seriously.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/ref/on0r/C421B0/s/tx/cx/1" target="_blank">Dollar Shave Club</a> sends quality blades to your door for a few bucks a month. It was invented by a dude tired of overpriced blades and of forgetting/refusing/denying to buy them each month. It's pretty much how it sounds. For as little as $1 a month (I'm not joking), they send you a new razor. Every month. With blades. I actually took the $6/month razor - it just looked like a better idea - but I am sure the least expensive one is totally acceptable. And in any case, it sure beats the crap bics I buy all the time for too much money and forget to replace, keep too long, or somehow misplace... The whole idea of it just spoke to me. </p>
<p>And if I wasn't already tempted to do it, their video really sold me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="267" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZUG9qYTJMsI" width="475" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Oh yeah-- they also have BUTT WIPES if you wanna add those to your monthly supply. That video is also awesome:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="267" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3FOae1V1-Xg" width="475" /> </p>
<p>So yeah, I'm excited to try them out. My first shipment came super fast after my initial order. I am happy to let you ALL know that I plan to shave my legs with my new razor TOMORROW. I'm emphasizing that for the festishists out there. You're welcome.</p>

<p>Well I did. I got leid. And it was glorious.</p>
<p>I came home from work recently to this amazingness:</p>

<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.confessionsofafatgirl.net/.a/6a00df351f789488330192ab1753bb970d-pi"><img alt="IMG_3552" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00df351f789488330192ab1753bb970d image-full" src="http://www.confessionsofafatgirl.net/.a/6a00df351f789488330192ab1753bb970d-800wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_3552" /></a><br />I must say - right away my apartment filled with their lovely scent. They were so deliciously fragrant. Imagine being shipped all the way from Hawaii and still being that lovely? I was so surprised. They are packed with ice and lots of protection so they are perfectly in tact upon arrival. Really, really nice. </p>
<p>PLUS, in addition to sending leis, they sent.... nuts.</p>
<p>
<a class="asset-img-link" href="http://www.confessionsofafatgirl.net/.a/6a00df351f789488330191034efdb8970c-pi"><img alt="IMG_3550" border="0" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00df351f789488330191034efdb8970c image-full" src="http://www.confessionsofafatgirl.net/.a/6a00df351f789488330191034efdb8970c-800wi" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="IMG_3550" /></a><br />Yummy. </p>
<p>I really have to thank Aloha Island Lei for the beuaitful surprise. And for inspiring the entire #GetLeid Twitter movement I've so enjoyed laughing over with the SoCal Lady Bloggers. Please be sure to check them out. </p>

<p>I was leaving my office for lunch today when I stumbled upon a pop-up stand of delightful treats. I needed a cute little gift so it was fortuitous and I could not resist it anyhow -- it all looked so delicious. So I snapped pictures:</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Everything down the caramel is homemade. I tried a sample and it was DELICIOUS. <em>Especially</em> the caramel. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The snacks all have great names, too, like "Tantric coffee" and "Brazen Brittle."</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The owner of <a href="http://thechunkymarshmallow.com/Shop_Chunky.html" target="_blank">The Chunky Marshmallow</a> was a lovely person who did not know I was a blogger at first, which inspired me to write about her company anyway. She clearly enjoyed what she was doing and had a lot of enthusiasm and a fabulous blue jacket so I just felt like giving it a shout out. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Check 'em out. Great for small gifts and baskets -- I highly recommend. </p></div>
