It’s true.
I’m falling apart.
I’m barfing.
I even had to poop in a department store.
Do you know how disgusting that is?
Thing is, no matter how pasty I am, or how thin I’m getting, Shawn still makes me feel beautiful when he says
“I’d still hit it.”
Kidding.
He tells me I’m beautiful every day.
Swoon.
And because of my sickness, Shawn has been super busy with helping around the house and I have been, well sick, that we hadn’t gotten any stocking stuffers.
On Sunday, I heard Shawn saying:
“T’was the weekend before Christmas and all through the house, I’m yelling GD it because we haven’t bought any stocking stuffers and I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than brave the malls.”
Or something like that.
On Monday, I was feeling well enough to shop so we went to the USofA
Cause America is cheaper.
And since I was doing a post on Walgreens, we decided to check it out.
Now I’ve been to Walgreens plenty of times to use their pharmacy. Once a month I pick up my back pain medication refills (I told you that I was falling apart) and I never really stopped to look around. But on Monday we did.
And I’m super glad we did.
Like holy make-up selection for the frosty the pale faced girl in your life…like me…ahem…I mean the teenager in your life.
They carry so many brands like CoverGirl, Maybelline, and Rimmel.
I may have picked up a few beauty items.
Hey, I can look amazing even though I feel like death.
Check out their beauty gift sets. They would make a wonderful present for me…ahem…for your Mom.
I’d really love anything from their bubble bath, salts and oil selection…ahem… I mean your Mother In Law would love the gift of relaxation for Christmas.
Even though I should get the gift of relaxation for putting up with her.
Kidding.
I love my Mother In Law.
But Walgreens just doesn’t sell gifts for ME…ahem…for her.
For the men they have cologne gift sets and they even have ELECTRONICS!!! Like actual TV’s!!!
They really have everything for EVERYONE including babies and children.
But the best part, is that they have a wide selection of stocking stuffers.
Walgreens is literally your one stop shop for the holidays.
And as an added bonus, you don’t have to put up with the crowded malls…
Especially when you can do all the shopping from Walgreens online!!
I definitely recommend heading on over to Walgreens to find that special gift for me…ahem…for the special people on your Christmas list.
My husband says “I would hit that” too, such a romantic line. You must drive pretty far from the bridge to get to a good Walgreens. I can’t even think of one close. Do you ever go to Great Lakes Crossing? Super close to me and I think half of Canada shops there.

You ARE beautiful. I’d get you some bath salts and stuff if I could!

I love Walgreen’s. Here in the U.S. they have a great website where you can order online (I hate shopping in stores…)
I always have to use the bathroom in department stores – which is maybe one of the reasons I hate to shop there -
I also love bath stuff and tend to hoard body wash and bubble bath – the bottles are starting to move their way out of my bathroom – not a good sign -
I wish you could be beautiful AND feel better!

I love me some walgreens. I am so glad they are finally opening a store in our town. And pooping in a store? My worst fear. You have my sympathies

My husband’s catchphrase is “I’d tap that.”
[Reply]
Hell, I’d “hit” ya and I don’t even swing that way. sorry, TMI.
I actually have a 10 dollar gift card from Wallgreens burning a hole in my purse. That’s what happens when you go get your prescriptions and they give you someone elses along with yours and make you pay for it. Yeah, well, maybe I forced them, but that’s another story.

You? Are stunning.
{And funny and sweet!}

I leave the blogosphere for 6 wks and you’re falling apart? Honey, what the hell is going on? I am so sorry, whatever it is. And you don’t need Walgreens for beauty. You got it in spades! Happy holidays!

It definitely helps when you look better on the outside somedays–it’s a little boost for me if I can put on a little makeup and wear something other than yoga pants.

We have a Walgreens around the corner and I often forget to shop there! And I could use some new make-up.
My husband, if it’s any comfort, says straight-up lines too…no beating around the bush with him. It’s usually, “Hey, wanna bend over real quick while the kids are outside?”
[Reply]
You should totally get a pedicure for putting up with your mother in law. Totally.
[Reply]
I’m so going to need to get to Walgreens. Because I have lots of shopping left to do!
[Reply]
First, I love the new look to your blog. It has been too long since I’ve been here! Second, I am sorry you are in pain.
Third, I’m all about Walgreens! I go there all the time. You’re right. They do have lots to shop for there!
[Reply]
Walgreens is the only place that carries the mouthwash I use. Cepacol brand, it’s da bomb. And they do have great stocking stuffers!
[Reply]
You are beautiful! I think probably inside and outside! HUGSSSS

Walgreens definitely has a great selection of chocolate, I can tell you that! Well mine does. I didn’t know about the TVs but maybe they don’t do that in NYC. they do have toys though. so I don’t take the toddlers. But that’s where my little man gets his hot wheels. at $1.29 each, they’re a bloody steal. in the past year Damian has built a collection of 107 hot wheels. OMG I just realized how much moeny I’ve spent in Walgreens and that doesn’t include all the other stuff I buy. By the way, please excuse the money typo from the previous sentence. i can’t seem to correct it without deleting the line afterwards and i rather just continue to ramble away then delete stuff, ya’ know?
Happy holiday sugar!

We actually have a Walgreens in our small dinky town — I go there when I am having trouble finding something unusual. They usually have it. Gotta love ‘em.

True story. For the past 3 years, I have bought my grandparents’ Christmas gifts at Walgreens. Because nothing is open on Christmas Eve. And old people love a gift card to Olive Garden and some cherry cordials. I always manage to get some stocking stuffers for us too. Love that place.
