Groupon helped me meet a Bloggy Friend

About 7 years ago I meet Stacey from Kingston Girl. My grandfather had passed and I was going to Bainbridge Island to clean his estate that is next to Kingston.  We always said we would meet, but since I was always riding with my parents I could never meet up with her. Then she moved to my town! Yes you would think we could meet right up, but with kids and schedules we never have been able to meet up.  She is an amazing lady if you have not read her blog you must. She is a cancer survivor who had twin boys through a surrogate.  Her twins had a rough start and spent a lot of time in Children's hospital.  It is such a touching story.  They boys are now 2, one still has many health challenges. She is always so positive and just keeps going, such an amazing person!  Her new blog is The Twinpeaks Mama.

SOOO on to my story ... She posted on FB a while back she is doing her spray tan business Totally Faking It at HM Salon.  Then a week or so later I saw a Groupon for a hair color service at the HM Salon!  I sent her a message and found it was the same place!  So I schedule a time to go get my hair done and to get my spray tan done before I left on my trip.

Post Tan and Spray tan!

It was so exciting to meet up with Stacey, we had a great time talking and catching up.  And to get my spray tan on I had to strip down to my bra and undies .. oh yes that is the way we roll on our first meeting ... lol

So I got my hair colored and a spray tan on!

Hope you have a GREAT weekend.

Were the Customer Service Broke down ….

So most of you read about my rant here and on FB about my experience buying Groupon’s for Native Remedies.  Now I’ve bought from Groupon before and have had nothing but high praises. I’ve bought Native Remedies products previously (threw Amazon) this last time I used their site I had horrible customer service and a pain using my gift certificates.  So to make this fun or for you how like to “skim read” yes I know all of you don’t read every word I type I’m putting it in the form of sticky notes!

 

So there is my long and crazy story!  I spent a good TWO hours on the phone along with time emailing etc.  I’ve disappointed in their customer service and way of doing business. The pointing the finger at the other really peeves me off and saying that I can buy from Amazon but there prices vary and etc and I need to be careful.  Which I know since I’ve been buying that way for over a year.  I’m sticking to what I’ve done in the past and continue to buy threw Amazon. I NEVER want to go threw that hassle or that RUDE customer service people ever again with their own site.

Deals … Calling all Deals & A Birthday Wish!!!

Ok peeps you all know I’m a little obsessive about things ok I always do everything to the max (may explain my over love of food … lol).  So when I find things I like I tend to go overboard.  A while back a friend of mine posted about some deal sites and I was hooked.  Now every day I have to check them everyday (yes the deals change daily and most are only good for one day).  I have found some great deals so I of course had to share with my friends so you all can be obsessed like me!  That is what friends are for right? … hehe
