Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to have not watched the Super Bowl but heard all about it. I guess Drake was not having a good day after the Half Time performance.

.....to be amused that people are leaving out that Trump was also booed at the Super Bowl, plus flipped off. But he just likes to point out that it was Taylor Swift who was booed. Sure, dude. Delusions.

.....to be waiting for the day after Valentine's Day to get a box of chocolates. There's always so many left and 50% off sounds nicer to me.

.....to think it's cute that Natalie made this sign for her boyfriend to ask him to be her Valentine. (He said yes! And he had asked her to be HIS Valentine with a stuffed whale and hand drawn comic about sealife.)

Pickleball Paddles From Diadem Sports Review

Pickleball is growing in popularity. I've played it once and I was terrible at it. Terrible. I have no coordination. But it was still fun.

If you play, Diadem Sports has a bunch of paddles and other items needed for the sport. Diadem Sports was created to develop the most innovative and high-quality products. Their team is made up of former collegiate and professional players so they know what they are doing.

We were sent these gorgeous paddles:

This is the beautiful Rush paddle and as you can see, it spreads awareness for Breast Cancer. I love a company that supports a wonderful cause.

We were also sent the Warrior paddle, which had an excellent grip to it:

Don't forget the actual pickleballs to go with the paddles! These were tested in extreme conditions so you know they'll work well.

Everything worked fabulously!

If you need anything related to Pickleball, check out Diadem Sports. If Pickleball isn't for you, they also have tennis gear.

Have you ever played Pickleball?

Unique & Affordable Valentine's Day Gifts

I am all about unique. And weird. Maybe because I am weird. Valentine's Day is approaching and sure the typical flowers & chocolates work--but I like to go outside the box. Plus, you can get the same chocolates for 50% off a day later, and I like to save, so I'd rather buy them then.

If you're looking for unique Valentine's Day gift ideas, I have some!

Pickleball Paddles & Balls. Know someone who loves pickleball? Surprise them with a paddle from Diadem Sports. They have so many options to choose from. If they don't need a paddle, there is other gear, plus apparel, accessories, and bags, plus more! If pickleball isn't their thing, there is tennis gear as well! I love how well made everything is, plus I'm all for a paddle that spreads awareness.

Garden Flags. I always like to put flags in my front yard. I recently bought this one as I believe you should always read banned books. Some of the books that have been banned are ridiculous.

Water Bottle Stickers. Etsy has so many of these! I had to get this one from my daughter. It's from one of her fave movies La La Land. But if your Valentine has a TV show or movie they absolutely love, check out Etsy!

Gone With The Wind magazine. I absolutely love Gone With The Wind. I imagine you know people in your life who adore it as well. This magazine has behind the scenes stories and other facts about the movie. This is currently on sale for less than $10!

An opinionated sweatshirt. The world is a crazy place at the moment. If your Valentine is feeling helples, well, remind them that they can show their distaste with the clothes they wear. I've received so many compliments on this one.

The Notebook Little People set. So many love this movie and will probably be watching it for Valentine's Day. Why not surprise them with this Little People set? If The Notebook isn't for you, there are many other sets available from The Office, Barbie Movie, Elton John, etc..you'll be sure to find a set your Valentine will like!
