If you've followed my daily posts, my left eye has been swollen for a few days and it's 100% healed now. 
I've been resting my eye and limiting my computer/monitor usage, so today I was able to use my eyes for online shopping, browsing and a little bit of Swagbucks!
I even crossed out 1 Christmas ‘to buy’ item off the list..
• I bought my dad a Philips - Hue White A19 Starter Kit - essentially he’ll be able to control the lights via smartphone app. I am hoping I won’t come across any problems installing it but he’s been wanting it!
• I also bought myself a Christmas gift too at Victoria’s Secret. I bought yoga pants, and got the beanie & 2 panties free with a current online promo going on!
Then before grabbing dinner - we stopped by Staples because I wanted some journals to write in and we picked up some other essentials too.
- Lysol All Purpose Cleaner (I just noticed they’re both the same product but different packaging)
- Staples Assorted Plastic Cutlery, we don’t like washing dishes - lol
- Chapstick
- Make It Happen Notebook with Gold Detailing
- (2) Cute pocket journal book saying I’m going to be awesome today, that yesterdays gonna get jealous
- Also a storage unit (not pictured, but we will set it up tomorrow)
If you're looking for notebooks - Staples has really cute ones for affordable prices! Starting at $0.99 cents to $9.99!

Tehehe I'm not good with Roman numerals @AbbyGreenhill figured I'll learn them. The max I learned up to was literally number 5?

Very happy to hear that your eye is all better! And guess what? Thanks to you, I finally broke down and scheduled an eye doctor appointment. I will be going to see them tomorrow for an eye exam. I'll let you know how blind I am after the appointment! haha

@infatuatedbby I just saw a video a friend shared on facebook about how many disposable food products like utensils wind up in the landfill and oceans. It made me feel bad about even sending them in my daughters lunch :-( I used to send my metal utensils to school with my kids but they would wind up throwing them away.

@Madshadi
No
I honestly prefer in stores but for my niece and nephew I find better deals online like kid/baby clothes. :)
But for me I like to try on the clothes but if it's a good deal I'll buy online but I have to ensure I can refund just encase

@infatuatedbby Some places have free shipping if you spend a certain amount and at this time of year that can be easy to do.
