Love is Blind.  If you’ve been on Netflix or social media, you’ve most likely heard about this show.  I (Jeni) am a sucker for reality shows like this, so of course I watched (you guys know what a huge 90 Day Fiancé fan I have always been!).  Don’t worry – I won’t give away any spoilers!

OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!  I can’t wait for season 2, and really want to see the update on all of the couples airing on March 5th.  So, here’s the synopsis:

‘Nick and Vanessa Lachey host this social experiment where single men and women look for love and get engaged, all before meeting the person.’ … After that period of time, each man can propose to the woman he’d like to marry – despite having never met (yikes).”

Cool concept for a reality show, right? Although – it was kinda silly because every single one of the people was beautiful. EVERY person was model quality, so no one fell in love with some Quasimodo type person 😉  Anyway, I love it!

 Have you watched Love is Blind?  Who is your favorite couple?

I (Sarah) am not much of a traveler, but I definitely wouldn’t mind heading to Park City, Utah!  First, Utah is BEAUTIFUL. But second – you can stay in this amazing rental that’s a 4-story cabin tower.  Yah.  A 4-story cabin tower..  It sleeps four and has a walk-in shower and porch with views of the incredible mountains around it. It’s available on Glamping Hub for $207 per night – which is just about $50 per person!  It’s like a Rapunzel tower, isn’t it?

Where’s the coolest place you’ve ever stayed?

This Recycle Bin Coffee Mug is $12.99, and would make an awesome gift for eco-friendly people! I (Jeni) have never seen a mug like this before, but think it’s pretty neat!

 

If you love That 70s Show, check this out!  The complete series is only $27 right now!  That’s a seriously awesome price!

How great are these Essential Oil Diffuser Bracelets?  First, they are SUPER cute, and second, they help you keep essential oil close to you as you go throughout your day.  These are on sale right now for only $16.99 with more potential savings.

Ohhhhhh Yah!  This isn’t your average Chex Mix, friends!  It’s Bananas Foster Chex Mix – a unique recipe from sweetphi.com!  The ingredients were surprising, but absolutely delicious!  It’s definitely different from my (Jeni) classic Chex Mix recipe I make every holiday season!!  GET RECIPE

Do you enjoy snack mixes?

I (Sarah) think this is the cutest unicorn mug on the planet and it’s just $12 and comes in a “be a unicorn” gift box.

Are you jumping in on the unicorn craze?

This dude on Instagram is sharing his journey of creating these “Volkspods” himself.  He literally hand makes a VW scooter that looks like this, using VW fenders and welding them together.  You can see his creations and follow his journey on Instagram!

Would you ride one of these?

Oh my goodness!  These are absolutely the most adorable little princess onesies ever!  They come in a 5-pack of Disney Princess patterns: Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora. I (Jeni) wish I knew someone with babies that I could dress up now! ????

Do you have a favorite princess?

How adorable are these cat earrings?  They are so simple and petite, right?  They come in two colors and there’s even another style.  It’s a pretty nice, low-key way to show your love for cats… or you can wear them with your diehard cat lover stuff too, I (Sarah) guess!  HAHA!

I (Jeni) am from wine country on the Central Coast of California – so you KNOW I’m all about Wine Insiders! This is an awesome site for people who love wine (like me!) to sample award-winning wines starting at only $9.99 a bottle – SWEET!  Plus, they have a subscription club that hardcore wine enthusiasts (like me, again!) NEED in our lives!

Do you use CBD products? I (Sarah) just started looking in to it, and found Winged CBD.  They have these CBD Dark Chocolate Bites that sound PERFECT for me. They are specifically formulated for women, and have all of these cool benefits:

    I love this concept of grabbing a coffee, and scrolling through leisurely! Thank you for that. And Love is Blind is such a crazy ride – love the initial concept, but not the speed of it is astonishing.
