Christmas Shopping at EdenFantasys
Dec 08Did you know that the popular sex toys retailer EdenFantasys also sells other items that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to give to your close friends and family? I know that I didn’t until I actually spent a bit more time looking at some of their other categories on the site.
I actually purchased some almond coconut hand cream and almond coconut whipped body cream from them last month and it smells absolutely heavenly. It’s not too greasy either, thankfully. The latest items I’ve been drooling over are some of their bath products from the Venus line of products. They have bath salts, scrubs and washes in scents including peach, lavender, green tea and even man. I’m wondering what “man” really smells like to be honest.
While I may not be a girly girl, I do enjoy pampering myself every so often and I’m not sure whether it’s the packaging and the fact that it’s pretty or the fact that I like vanilla, but I’m really leaning towards purchasing the Vanilla Snow Woman Glistening trio of body wash, mousse and lip gloss. It seriously looks like it smells so good I’d want to eat it, but last time I checked we really shouldn’t be trying to eat things we bath with. *shifty eyes* Maybe I’ll get it for one of the few people on my Christmas gift list… now that’s a thought.
Just Call me Scrooge
Dec 04I’m not at all into the holiday spirit this year. Bah humbug.
Everything was going quite well until the beginning of October when my freelancing income was cut by more than 1/2 due to lack of assignments. I’ve been trying to work in other areas to pick up the slack but it’s totally not cutting it. Everyone knows that money doesn’t buy happiness, but it sure does eliminate a lot of stress and right now I could use a nice reduction.
Randy is looking for a job and has applied to at least 15 different places and he’s registered at a temp agency. He’s going to the other one on Monday to hopefully secure a job of some type soon.
I really don’t like blogging about money stress because it seems all “woe is me” but it just really sucks that I’ve gone from paying my bills 2 weeks ahead of time to paying my rent late and receiving shut off notices from my electric company. :-\ (Who is also responsible for my heat). Before anyone asks, yes we’ve applied for HEAP and are waiting to see if we were approved.
I have about $75 in gift cards I’ve earned through SwagBucks in the past few months and I’m going to be using that for Gracie’s Christmas presents. I’ve also told my parents that I don’t want anything either. I really don’t. I’m not all about receiving gifts. I just want this stress off my shoulders. I’m not participating in the holiday gift list exchange for obvious reasons. I don’t like to get things if I can’t buy for others. It makes me feel guilty.
On a somewhat positive note, things with Randy, Gracie and I are doing just fine. We are nocturnal and spend most of the day sleeping and night awake, but oh well. Gracie is a total daddy’s girl. Totally random note: She just took my socks off my feet and is now trying to put them on. She also steals daddy’s shoes.
I need to make/send out Christmas cards still. I’m registered with the Lavish Christmas card exchange, but if anyone wants to exchange cards send me an email at silvergirl0007@gmail.com with your address and I’ll reply back with ours.
I have secured an A in both of my criminal justice courses but it is overshadowed by my lame psych professor’s policies that are going to land me with a C. We had a research paper for 15% of our grade due on Nov 19th which had to be uploaded to the blackboard (which I did), but we also had to mail a physical copy to him. I never mailed the physical copy and received a 0. Bogus. It’s an online class. It shouldn’t be dependent on physical materials. So that immediately places me in the “B” range. Unless I get a perfect score on my final (which is Saturday), I’m going to be getting a C. BOO and PFFT.
With that, I’m going to say bah humbug and who knows when the next update will be. I hope we at least get snow for Christmas.
End of the Semester
Nov 19It’s the end of the semester and I’m definitely feeling the pinch. I can’t believe the semester ends December 2nd! I have 3 papers to write (Eng, corrections, intro to criminal justice) and a psych, alcohol and substance abuse, and meteorology final. I’m definitely looking forward to the break though. Being a work-at-home full-time student and mother to a toddler is exhausting, although Randy does probably 75% of everything with Gracie so I can get stuff done.
We bought a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire (blue) and I hate it to be honest. It needs work and it’s small inside, but we needed something quick and it was the first thing we found. We’ll make it work. I’m still looking for ways to expand my client base due to DMS taking a huge plummet in available work. Again, we’ll survive.
What’s going on in your life lately?
EdenFantasys Carries Bath Products
Nov 19I was just recently informed that the sex shop EdenFantasys has begun carrying bath products. While I do love their wide selection of other products such as Vibrators and lingerie , sometimes it’s nice to take a non-sexual spin in purchases.
While I’ll be the one skipping over makeup, since I never wear it, I’ll certainly be checking out the different scents of bath and body products. I typically take showers but I’ve noticed they have a few types of bath crystals and soap flakes in scents such as Aphrodisia and Ocean which may encourage me to turn on some music and relax in the tub for awhile without any interruptions.
Lotions are essential in the winter because my skin tends to dry out, even in some of the more sensitive areas of the body. Most of their products include different essential oils and fragrances to appeal to anyone’s favorite scents. If you have incredibly sensitive skin or react to scents, they also carry organic products. I will probably do a bit of Christmas shopping here as well, especially with the expanded selection of products.
EdenFantasys, an online retailer of sex toys, provided me with a gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.

Internet Class Conduct
Nov 15As many of you know I take my entire courseload online. I’m actually getting my criminal justice degree completely online with a local community college (if you considered 80 miles local). I was doing my daily check on classes to see if any announcements were posted and checked the discussion boards.
My English professor asked what we thought of the past week (library week stuff, boring MLA format blah blah) and someone decided to reply “This week blows.” My jaw dropped. Seriously? A college level English class and you reply with something as immature and inappropriate as that? I hope I’m not just being old, but last time I checked you don’t disrespect professors like that. There’s a constructive way to give feedback and it certainly is NOT “This week blows.”
Another person in my meteorology class also said to the professor in a discussion post about a recent quiz we just had. For some reason there is now a 25 minute wait period between the first and second attempts. She said ” I just got screwed out of my second attempt. It’s BS. Oh and if your going to have a quiz, make sure you don’t make mistakes on the quiz.”
He gives us an entire week to do a 10 question multiple question quiz with an OPEN BOOK. You wait until after 11:35 to take it the night it’s due? That’s your problem. Then swearing on a public forum. Third, if you want to insult a professor on his quiz maybe you should spell “your” in its proper format, you’re. She could have asked if he could re-open the quiz (which he did after apologizing to her) instead of throwing a hissy fit. I thought I was in college, not middle school.
