Nancy from HeresToGoodWomen.com wrote in to tell me about their shop. Browsing around, I found this beautiful orchid platter. (I have an affinity for orchids). Check out her shop for other unique items.

$20 at Here’s To Good Women

She also told me they have a form to nominate “good women” which they will feature on their website. It’s nice to receive some recognition every once in awhile so fill out this form and nominate the women that inspire you! Thanks Nancy!

I promised I would tell you how my free Redbox rental went from this post so here it is. This past monday I got my first free rental text message. I stopped by Albertsons on my way home and the “red box” was near the front entrance. There’s supposed to be from 70-140 movies available for rent. I just remember scrolling through about 6 pages of movies. They are pretty much all new releases and they had all the major titles (300, american gangster, ratatouille, atonement etc) and even some not so major titles. In fact, the one I ended up renting was one I had never even heard of: Trade - a movie about human trafficking. It got pretty bad reviews, but I thought it was thought provoking and entertaining. Of course parts of the story were lame, but overall, I liked it. It’s definitely worth the regular price of renting it, $1, but with my coupon it was free!

Anyways, to rent movies you punch in the code that they texted you but you still need to insert your credit card for security reasons. It was quick and painless. They have an option to email you the receipt which I promptly got. The next day I returned the movie and promptly got another receipt confirming my return. You can keep the movie as long as you want but it’s $1 for each day.

Overall, I LOVED redbox and I totally recommend you try it out since they are offering those free rentals every monday. Even without the coupon, it’s only $1 and located at grocery stores so it’s convenient. THUMBS UP!

Ramen is great. If you want to know where the best ramen is in Los Angeles, go to the Little Tokyo district to a place called Daikokuya. It is sooooooo yummy! My roomie showed me this place and it’s the only place where I want to drink the whole bowl!

Anyways, I was checking out the ramen blog (yes, there’s a ramen blog!) and I saw that they sell a ramen pin!! It’s so cute:

And it’s only $3.95 + $1 shipping!

I find these vases very charming and can add a lovely touch of the beach to your home, especially if you have a beach theme bathroom.

This is a great idea. It’s a neoprene sleeve for your pint sized ice cream!

I hate it when my hands freeze from holding that thing.

When I first read about this deal, I had never heard of Redbox…but using their kiosk locator, I found several near me! I guess they are those red machines that rent out dvds at the grocery store.

Anyways, if you’re willing to give up your email address…you can get a free rental!

OR, if you have unlimited texting like I do, you can get a free rental every monday for the month of March. I’m signing up and I’ll tell ya how it goes.
