therapy thursday

hey there amigas, can i get a TGIF?!
**breaks out in friday dance but then remembers she has to work today** .. dang-it!

though I can't be complaining, after therapy yesterday I blew a ton of cash and could definitely use a little reimbursement. Spending money at therapy?! welp, shopping therapy that is! buaha, i'm so clever...

first stop was TJmaxx where I found some unncessary, but wonderful, goods for my purple palace.
purple floral shoebox doning the ever so cliche, yet beautiful quote "live laugh love"

what did i store inside here you ask? well, if you have to ask you don't know me too well...
typical.. great for easy access (that's what she said, holla)

i also grabbed this little lady..
here's a boob shot for all your hornballs out there ;)shawtii is stacked, i think Ginge wanted to take her home.. god knows she puts me to shame.

i also got a photo of this gorgeous bombshell ..
i love me some Marilyn

after TJ's it hit up the grocery store to do some real damage. Apparently the Greek yogurt god's have heard my prayers and blessed my life with two new finds.
brown cow all natural blueberry greek yogurt (4pack)
never tried this brand actually but i definitely dig the fact that you can buy it in bulk.. it saves me some of those George Washingtons, ya heard?

and here was the real kicker..
strawberry oikos! *rejoice!*

now we all know the perfect partner for yogurt is..what else? granola! but not just another granola -- peanut butter and Jenny granola!
that is one tall drink o' water..

Lauren over at Mix My Granola was kind enough to contact me and ask if i wanted to try some of their delish granola... to which i obviously said YES, PLEASE! so i hit up the website and threw together some yummy ingredients..they certainly didn't skimp on the goods!

i hate to toot my own horn but i am a granola making master (and a humble one at that) this mix was off the charts!lovez it.
thanks so much again Lauren for the awesome opportunity to mix my own granola and try your wonderful product!

alrighty i'm off to make that money
happy friday, girlfriends!

I am in love with all your new purchases! Next time you decide to hit up TJ's take me with you! :) Mix my granola looks sooooo good. I want me some like whoa, but my wallet is crying in fear.

Marina said...

I've always wanted to try the make your own granola thing... looks neat! :)

Feed Me I'm Cranky said...

Ahahah I love that you used that adorable shoe box to stash your Clif Bars! That's too cute. Oh that new yogurt looks cool -- can't wait to hear how it compares to Oikos. Is it about the same price?
And strawberry Oikos?! How did I not know that flavor was available?!
Have a wonderful Friday, Jenny!

sarahdbelle said...

You found strawberry oikos! That's awesome.
And I love the Marilyn poster. Very cool.
Hope you have a wonderful Friday and make tons of cash!
Sarah

Jenny said...

miss Annabel -- the brown cow yogurt was a little cheaper than oikos since i bought a 4 pack .. it was $3.99 for 4... so about $1.00 each. BUT each container is only 4 oz whereas oikos is like 5.3 so i suppose your getting relatively the same for your money. I'll letcha know how i like it :)!!

nicoleishappy said...

i have a box like that for my bars, its perfect for them! love the idea to put animal crakers in your mix. have fun at work girl

Good luck with work today, shnookums! Don't let those creepers hit on you!

Definitely some pretty finds there! Such a neat picture and that jewelry holder is adorable.

Hooray for the yogurt find. I know normal laughing cow yogurt is delicious, but I didn't even realize that they had greek yogurt too! And I've been dying to try that strawberry. Can't wait to hear what you think of both!

Hope work is easy and goes well for you today!

Great buys! I love the Marilyn Monroe print, and of course the bar box as well! I must try to find that brown cow greek yogurt because I'm already a fan of their cream-top variety.

Have fun at work, much love!

amy. said...

great purchases, fun food finds, and unique granola mix! back when i ate sweetened/flavored non-greek yogurts, i really liked brown cow! im not sure if their greek variety is similar in taste, but the plain ones were sweetened with maple syrup, which made it delicious! enjoy :D

Shannon (The Daily Balance) said...

your granola looks awesome! Love the mix-ins!
your purple palace is adorable! Not surprising and so cute! ;)

Nutritious is Delicious said...

Great minds think alike! Love the animal cookies in granola!
