Latest Romance Book Releases + PRIME DAY FUN DAY #1 – 07-16-2024

I BOUGHT IT (after my Great Dane dive-bombed on my roll-around portable desk-table and smashed it in half – thank goodness I put my laptop away before that happened) 🙄 !! Anyhoo… I got this and paid full price for it and here it is on deal with all these redeemable coupons. Oh well. Totally worth the price, because it’s lightweight, it IS actually comfortable on my lap (cushiony but not too cushiony and also no more “hot-lap”), and the mousepad works perfectly and is just big enough for what I need to do. So I sit on my couch, snuggled up with my dogs, and blog, or read or write reviews… right on this thing.

Oh ALSO! It folds in half for storage.

DON’T FORGET TO CLICK THE COUPONS ON IT, TOO 😃

MY BODY PILLOW COVER!! And boy does it work!! P.S. It’s back on the list ’cause I’ve had quite an amazing reaction to it. I didn’t realize there are so many of us hot-sleepers!

Since I’m a side sleeper, my chest radiates a ton of heat and is blocked by my body pillow. The fabric on this cover is silky cool and super comfy, and somehow, someway, keeps my radiating heat from becoming overwhelming. I. LOVE. IT!!!

P.S. OH!! And it has a zipper so the pillow stays inside the whole night.

THIS IS THE COOLING BLANKET I GOT: P.S. It’s back on the list ’cause I’ve had quite an amazing reaction to it. I didn’t realize there are so many of us hot-sleepers!

I got the King size, and in this pretty grey color, and it is so silky smooth and cool, and double sided with different fabric on each side depending on what you’re in the mood for. I LOVE IT!

DON’T FORGET TO CLICK THAT COUPON ON IT, TOO 😃

MINE!!! WELL NOT YET, BUT IT WILL BE NOW! Annnnd while I’m at it, I wanted a waffle blanket simply for the look, and I wanted to drape it across the end of my bed – or maybe do that folded long-wise on the end of my bed (as part of my luxurious cozy bedding look). I’m not sure yet how I’m going to style it, but anyway… I’m getting this one in white (and king size so it drapes nicely on each side). And the fact that, it too, is cooling? YES PLEASE!!!

ISN’T IT THE CUTEST??? I got this for work, to load up my iced water (coffee in my Yeti and water in this). I also stowed away some Mio in my work bag so I can flavor it up if I get bored. I bought this strictly on it’s amazing cuteness, but it’s super useful and has a carry strap, and even the lid turns into a cup.

HOLY MOLY LOOK AT THIS LAUREN BLAKELY DEAL!!! I ONE-CLICKED IT!
