Anyone that know me knows I like sweet treats.  Well, tonight you will find me at Cold Stone Creamery for freebies!  Tonight participating Cold Stones’ will be having the World’s Largest Ice Cream Social benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Tonight only, September 25th from 5:00 - 8:00PM, guests will be treated to a 3 oz. serving of Jack or Emily’s Creation. Jack and Emily are two Wish children that have made these cool combinations.

All donations will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

I am absolutely loving this white porcelain jug from globaltrade that was featured in the August issue of Domino.  The 10″ jug is normally $24 but with the Domino coupon (type “Domino” at checkout) it is only $18. I may need to buy one.

I recently wrote about how I was looking for a new lunch bag to replace my ridiculous one.  iVillage wrote an article on just this very thing this week (brilliant minds think alike I suppose).  Here are some of the ones they highlighted that I liked.  You can see the remaining article here.

The Lacoste Lunch Bag, $90 at Zappos.  This certainly falls into the “if I had a million dollars” category because $90 is just ridiculous to spend on a lunch bag.

Feed 100 Bag, $30 at Whole Foods.  With the purchase of each FEED 100 Bag, 100 school-age children in Rwanda receive lunch for an entire year.
Now that is pretty cool.  I want to feed children.  It is just not that attractive.

Built NY in Polka Dots, $25. This one is pretty darn adorable.  I would love it even more if it fed 100 people though.

I am watching the MTV Video Music Awards right now and I am wondering what happened to Britney Spears? When I heard she was “opening” I thought that meant she was performing?! I tuned in just to see if she was a hot mess or back to her hot performing self and she really didn’t do anything. All she really did was a not-so-funny skit with that actor from Knocked Up. What a disappointment.

Check in with my twitter to see more of my thoughts on the VMAs. 

As you can see, my lunch box is an eyesore. It was a freebie my Mom picked up for me at the National Teachers Convention that has an advertisement for a program for teens on the front. Yes, it is electric yellow and hideous but it was free and I couldn’t see a good reason to buy new one. Well, now it is hideous and falling apart so it is time to buy one. Below are some that I like but I can’t really decide. I need help deciding. So leave a comment and let me know what you think.
