how was your weekend friends? did you attend a super bowl party? what was your favorite super bowl food? what was your favorite commercial? and for those who actually watched the game, were you happy with the outcome of the game?
here are my answers: good, yes, chili, either bridgestone “reply all” or volkswagon “the force”, sure
{1} color coded vending machine
have you seen such a thing? this is the one in the break room of our office. green is 200 calories or less, yellow is 200-300 calories, and red is more than 300 calories. makes you think twice about dorito’s and m&ms.
{2} planting love
yes, teacher! and domestic, but not martha are hosting a fundraiser to help a blogger in need. several small business owners have already agreed to help. they are going to donate items from their shops so they can have a huge group giveaway! they’ll sell raffle tickets for items in the giveaway, and all the proceeds will go directly to amy and her family. to find out more information, click on the button above!
{3} heeled oxfords
i want these shoes, i need these shoes. these are the steve madden trikki oxford shoes, they don’t have them in my size anymore. if anyone finds shoe like these in this color (cognac) in my size (7.5) for a reasonable price, please please please let me know! i will pay you in gummy worms.
{4} big sister/little sister
i signed up to be a big sister in after i do‘s big sister/little sister mentorship program and i just wanted to take this time to reveal my little! are you familiar with chocolate and cream cake? based on the blog name alone, i think you should follow her. mandy blogs about happenings in her life, inspirations, books, movies and even has a fun feature called “nerd news“. go check her out!!
{5} cocoa roast almonds
these are my new food obsession. and they are quite addicting. an excellent source of vitamin E, tastier than regular almonds, dark chocolate is everyone’s friend, it’s the perfect snack to eat at 3pm when your blood sugar starts getting low. buy a pack of 4 here, because you won’t want just one.
{6} new sponsors!
very well made, unique, and cute felt accessories!
beautiful hand stamped jewelry!
beautiful fabric hair accessories, clutches and bags!
a blog about vintage, photography, baking, dogs and life!
a blog by a housewife stuck in the 1950s about vintage finds and life!
Mmmm, those almonds look so good! I’m going to have to check them out. I LOVE chocolate covered almonds!
i love the idea of a color-coded vending machine! i think it’s good to inform people and remind them of what they are eating… anyhoo i totally agree with you i loved the volkswagon commerical too! i am glad you had a good weekend. xoxo jcd
I did go to a superbowl party, and my favorite snack were these football shaped pb&chocolate rice krispey treats! YUM!
Thanks for helping us spread the word about the Planting Love Giveaway Event 🙂
My favorite commercial was definitely VW “the force” 🙂
loved your misc. monday post!!! yay for new sponsors and still loving those new oxfords – hope you find your size, friend! yay for new sponsors!!!!
happy monday, friend!!!
What an interesting idea for a vending machine. And I have to tell you, I now really want to go shoe shopping.
I didn’t do much Superbowl watching but I saw some of the commercials and I definitely caught the new episode of Glee afterward.
Hope you’re having a brilliant Monday, Sandy! I know you’re going to be fabulous at that interview.
My parents hold a super bowl party every year. A lot of fun!! I love veggies and dip, and my step-dads chex-mix YUM!!
OMGOSH! LOL about the vending machine!! Too awesome!!!! Tysm for sharing and for including the PLANT LOVE project!! You rock my socks off daily sweetheart!

Glad to be a part of such a great community! Thanks Sandy!
I LOVE those shoes!!!

no party, was home with the rents. never can get enough of wings. and i couldn’t come up with just one commercial, so i put up my top 5 on my blog. and yes, one of the better SB games to date, and happy the Packers won, since I’ve been trained to hate the Steelers like all Clevelanders, but more importantly, b/c Charles Woodson is on Green Bay’s team. (=
I have a pair of oxford heels like that! I went out last year to go “sale” shopping and ended up buying them at full price, but I never regretted it one bit. They go with EVERYTHING and just complete an outfit to take it from good to fabulous.
There’s a store by my house here in Florence that has them in a variety of colors, including one close to that, I’m pretty sure. Fancy a shoe-shopping trip to Italy? I’ll take you to the store! I can go check to make sure the color’s there before you buy your ticket, of course 🙂
Wow!! Love the color coded vending machine idea! I went to the IHOP the other day and they had the calories labeled on every item. Let’s just say I wasn’t odering the big full stack of pancakes that day!
Im obsessed withe dark almonds too..and what a super cool vending machine….love it!!
Stop by and say Hello:)
Check out my 30×30 Remix….Let’s do this!♥
Oooh those shoes are gorgeous!
Cool finds! I absolutely love those shoes and when I go to DSW I will certainly look for them.
Aww I really wanted to go to a superbowl party this year because I actually followed football this season haha. But I had to work floorset until midnight eek! That vending machine is SO smart! I’ve never seen it before! And those almonds look SOO good. I’m going to check out the links now!! ♥♥♥
Cocoa roasted almonds are DANGEROUS!!!! And we so need that vending machine in my office! Happy monday!!
those shoes are adorable!! Congrats on all the new sponsors! What fun! 🙂
My favorite commercial was the Torpedo Cooler, I think by bud light, I’m not sure! But it was hilarious!! :] LOVE those shoes.
xo.
Love the almonds too! Hope your weekend was fab! I didn’t really watch the game I worked!!
I don’t know whether to like that vending machine or not. haha! I mean I have avoided snacks because of their calorie counts several times so I guess it’s a pretty good idea… 🙂
We stayed in and Geof made tacos. My favorite commercial would have to be the VW one. I also really like the Budweiser one with the dogs.
I think the color coded vending machine is a fab idea, especially for those trying to be conscious of what they eat.
I’ll keep my eye out for those shoes and I think it’s wonderful that you’re getting involved in helping another blogger in need. I’ll have to check that out.
Congrats on being a blog big sister!
Those cocoa roast almonds are delicious. Filling too.
those shoes are too cute! gosh I dont even know if i can even wear heels anymore…after not wearing them for so long! 😀
Have a great week dear!
my favourite was the VW commercial. so cute!

oh my goodness! the cocoa roasted almonds are my most favorite snack in the world!
Hello beautiful! I went to a super bowl party, but not for the food. I went for the “Cookie In A Cookie”…. an Oreo baked inside a chocolate chip cookie!!
That vending machine is awesome!! Never seen one before… And I’ll definitely be looking for those almonds the next time I go grocery shopping… I love dark chocolate! 🙂
So happy to be one of your sponsors this month! =] And those shoes are adorable!
hey girl! I love your misc monday post;) so fun! i am so excited about the planting love fundraiser; i know it is going to be super! :)gina
Loving those awesome Oxfords and I would kill for some chocolate covered almonds right about now 🙂
I watched bits and pieces of the game but mostly I enjoyed eating my friend’s homemade artichoke dip!
Those Oxfords rock! And that vending machine is cool too. Never saw one like that.
Happy Monday, sweetie! xoxo
Those shoes are hot hot hot!
Well, I sure need a color-coded vending machine after all of the pigs in blankets I consumed yesterday! XX!
The color coded vending machine is so cool!
And I love those shoes & those almonds are sooooo addicting!
I could really use a vending machine like that, considering the diet I’m currently on!
And I already follow Mandy’s blog – she’s got an awesome site, especially for nerds like me 😛
Thanks so much for the mention, Sandy. I promise to get off my bum this week and get with you. I’d love to feature some of your blogging advice. 😀
i have these aldo heeled oxford type shoes and they are super comfy and on sale. check them out!

mmm, so much good food from Chinese New Year!! and the color-coded vending machine is pretty cool. i could really use some of those almonds now! 🙂
The almonds sound great! I am going to look to see if they sell them in Canada. I find that there are a lot of products that are advertised but only available in the States, like Peanut Butter Snickers. Luckily my mom lives in the States and will be sending me some soon.
I love the brown oxfords.
