Toys for Tots, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Corey Monteith, Mark Salling, Amber Riley and Bryant Park=Carol-OKE!
Yep 3 cast members of Glee and then also joining in were Nikki Blonsky and Kimberley Locke.
Carol-oke is a contest being run by Marshalls & TJ Maxx. You can still play along! All you have to do is go to Marshalls and T.J. Maxx’s holiday YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/jointhecarolers, watch one of the two unique carols, then upload a video of you singing one of them! For each video $1 will be donated toward Toys for Tots, to purchase gifts for a child in need. If that’s not enough incentive, by uploading a video you are also eligible to win a $5,000 shopping spree. Tis the season to do something charitable!
I was lucky enough to be sent there by TJ Maxx and Marshalls. It was so much fun. Corey Monteith is a HAM! Hamming it up all day on the stage. Amber is about the sweetest. I told her I think she is prettier in person, and she told me, “If i was white you would see me blushing but… I am black.”
and then I told Mark Salling that I fell in love with him that day. His reponse, “just today?” followed by these cheesed out photo.
I would have been in love with Corey, but he was definitely the talker out of all of them. I talk a lot, and that wouldn’t work out. =) There is a couple more pics of me floating around by the other gals that were also there, but I haven’t gotten them. And I have a few more to share of some of the gals I met there.
We had a lot of time to lust after the boys while waiting in the media line.
Make sure you go do your part in Carol-oke! The trio from Glee were all extremely personable and I thank TJ Maxx and Marshalls so much! More on my trip to come later!
TJ Maxx and Marshalls LIVE GIVEAWAY!
Yep. I picked THREE winners and neither got back with me. So it is time to do a live giveaway!
I picked one winner a week ago, another mid week last week and then finally the last the day I picked all the other winners, and apparently they aren’t interested!
So there is a LIVE Giveaway today! Starts at 10am and will last until…. well # 313 hits! Winner will receive a$25 Marshalls card and a $25 TJ Maxx card!
(i will not be around, but I should be able to stay on moderating comments, so most likely the actual person that hits #313 will be the winner. As long as they don’t forfeit by commenting back to back!)
Only a couple rules. You can’t post back to back and comment must be a sentence. That is it! Talk about whatever you want, but it must be a sentence. Only reason why i say that is because one word comments are lame. =)
I will make the final announcement Thanksgiving day.
Again have fun!
TJ Maxx and Marshalls, Review and Giveaway
I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had at TJ Maxx a couple weeks ago. I went in, with my $25 gift card in hand, and told myself the only way I would go over that, is for $5 or a winter coat. Notice the OR? Not both.
I walked out with a new winter coat, a sweet Marmot Fleece, a perfect brown sweater and hand weights. Thanks goodness I am a green beauty blogger, or I would have spent so much more on the skincare section.
And thank goodness secondly, that I have already agreed to a handbag review, so I only glanced at them. And yes, i do mean, that I only glanced. I was scared to look!
Let me show you some of my finds! I was snapping pictures left and right!
This sweater is really soft, and comfy. I always buy a sweater in this color to top any outfit that needs a warm up! I wear them out too! Notice is usually retails for at least $70. At Tj’s for only $34.99
And honestly, this picture doesn’t do it justice, but my camera is at a friends house today, so no additional shots.
and I also spotted this Anne Klein Sweater. How pretty is it? I didn’t buy this, but wanted to prove they have hot brands!
And this awesome Columbia coat. I wanted it… but I put it back. It appeared they had one in every size too. Only $49.99, I know these go for about $200. (kicking myself for not getting it!)
I don’t think you can tell from this photo, but this coat is really snazzy. It is quilted, but not too thick and “fluffy.” I have to buy coats that will not attract dog hair, and I fell in love with this one. for $39! Again, this photo really does not do it justice, it is dressier then it appears. I saw plenty of Anne Klein, Nine West, Roxy and more.
And then I also got a half zip Marmot Pull Over Fleece. It is a purple burgundy, and I love it. Already wore it!
They had so much skin care too! I was falling on myself. Organic and natural! Plus yoga mats, and just about any accessory you could want for exercise. I didn’t even attempt housewares. Our house is full!
If you are on a budget (who isn’t?) go get some of the gift sets for skin care, or fragrance for Christmas!
DDF, Borba, Organix, L’Oreal all top price products that they carry for such low prices! hello Origins!
The harder I tried to make it to the Marshalls near me, the more it seemed like I wasn’t supposed to! one day was a bad accident near the store, sat in traffic for an hour. Then the next time, an truck carrying propane hit a bridge and well, blew up. TJ Maxx is down the street, but Marshalls is about 30-45 minutes away, depending on which one. But my plan is to make it there this week and look for some boots.
So Tj Maxx and Marshalls have offered up 1 $25 gift card to each store! Two winners! To enter to win, visit either store and tell me what you would buy, and at which store. Nothing specific, just what you would like to replace. It is a recession mamas, but that deosn’t mean we don’t want to look good!
