K and I flew into Buffalo, NY last week Thursday as our plan was to drive to Niagara Falls to see the American side and then cross the border to see the Canadian side of the falls. The rental car company upgraded our car to a brand new Jeep Wrangler because it had Ontario plates so they wanted to get it back over to Canada.

My Worst Pillow
Wednesday, July 25, 2018
K loves to fall victim to new "breakthrough" products advertised on TV. Specifically the ones where you have to call now to get some sort of urgent deal, not products from good old faithful Target or Home Depot.
Have you seen the ads for MyPillow on TV? Advertised as "the most comfortable pillow you'll ever own". K immediately wanted one and told his Mom that's what he wanted for Christmas 2 years ago, especially since it was a BOGO deal so I would get one too.
Worst pillow ever and for $80 each!
Even with the BOGO "deal" making it $40 each, these are terrible quality pillows. I know everyone wants amazing sleep so the advertisement draws you in thinking "yes, this is the answer". Nope it isn't. I used the pillow for one night and told K they were all his. I think he realizes now they really aren't anything special.
My favorite pillows are from Kohl's for under $15 and they are heavenly to sleep on!
As we're on this topic, K saw an Ad on TV for the World's Softest Pajamas and decided this would be a perfect Christmas gift that same year. For "only $80" he ordered this PJ set from Pajama Gram.
They are comfortable but by no means worth the price and are just as
comfortable as PJ's I own from Target and Victoria's Secret. Also what's up
with the cowlick neck?
I guess the ad's content appealed to men wanting to gift their significant other/family member PJs made out of "fabric that's as soft to the touch as a baby bunny and as luxurious against the skin as the finest cashmere...She'll love you for it." Nope, not worth the price!
That's all for today...

Dresses From the Past
Tuesday, July 17, 2018
I've had this post sitting in my drafts since July of last year. It somehow slipped through the cracks and I forgot about it. Anyways, as much as I'm a jeans and cute top kind of girl, I love dresses for certain occasions. Since it's been a year from when this post was drafted, I've added a few more dresses to the list.
Back To The Basics

This is not a comparison review just an FYI that I've moved back to the Blogger commenting platform. I think both Disqus and Blogger have equally good features but I wasn't happy about losing all my comments since I started Martinis & Bikinis in 2012.

Noteable 4th of July Sales
Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. The emails for 4th July sales have been flooding in so these are a few of the deals I found from some of my favorite retailers. On an adulting note, we did have to bite the bullet over the weekend and buy a new washer and dryer from Home Depot while the sales last.

World Cup Weekend
Monday, June 25, 2018
Who knew I would enjoy watching football (soccer) so much? I don't have a favorite team nor did I watch every game this weekend but the ones I did watch were intense, enthralling, and full of surprises.
So about the weekend...
