Now, I don’t go on cruises to shop. I like to sight-see. But
I went to the talk because I was hoping to win something (I’ll take something
free!). I didn’t expect to be interested in anything to buy. Well, I was interested in the jewelry, but not
the price tags.
The “presenter” talked about Cariloha and their bamboo products
while a pillow was passed around so we could see for ourselves what bamboo material
felt like. It caught my attention. The description intrigued me, too.
So… we had time after our excursion and I found the store.
The king-sized sheet sets were $199, and I had a $25 coupon. Figured why not. I
needed sheets anyway. We took advantage of the free shipping.
After a few weeks though, we hadn’t received our sheets. I
contacted the vendor and discovered there was a problem with the shipment in Long Beach . They
apologized for the delay and offered me either a free upgrade to their premium
sheets (a $60 value), which they had in stock and could ship right away, or
credit to shop in their store (a $40 value). I took the upgrade, since I wasn’t
sure I would want anything else.
The sheets came in last week. Let me tell you… I’m in LOVE!
They are the most softest sheets ever. And I’m not sweating
in them like I was our cotton ones (hot flashes are a bitch—even in the winter).
I may just have to buy another set. Or maybe go on another cruise. Yeah, that’s
the ticket.
Wait. What do you mean? Wouldn’t you go on a cruise just to
save $25 on the best sheets ever? J
But seriously, they are some awesome sheets and I just had
to share. And if you’re in the market for sheets, I suggest you give these a
try (and no, I’m not being paid for saying this).
^^^^^^^
I finally (FINALLY) finished the content edits of Blind
Temptation. Now the book is with my daughter for copy/line editing. This is the
career she wants, so I aim to take advantage.
But do you know what that all means???? It means I can go
back to work on Ghostly Interlude!! Yay!!!!
Oh yeah, and read some more. Still have those books I have
to judge. Two down, though! Whoo hoo!
So… Who got a snow day from work today? Glad I don’t have to
go anywhere!

No snow day for us--possibly tomorrow, depending on how this storm breaks. It is cold, though, hanging around 0 right now.
Bamboo sheets? It sounds...odd. I'm glad you got a good deal on them, even if you had to wait!
Jeff - Bamboo does sound odd. I almost wondered if they'd hold up in the wash! :) But they really are satin-y without being slippery.
Sorry for the 0 temps. It's cold here, but in the teens. Just means the snow won't be leaving anytime soon. Thank goodness we didn't get a lot.
I saw those bamboo sheets at Costco. I might need to give them a second look.
No snow day here. :( But my husband has a bamboo t-shirt from Costa Rica, and those sheets are anything like it, they must be awesome!
Maria - Couldn't hurt to give them a feel! :)
Jennette - Sorry you had to go to work. But hey, I'm working too. I just don't have to go anywhere to do it. :)
Very cool on the new sheets. It's actually clean sheet day here, today.
Just regular snow for us.
Oh man, taking a boat cruise is on my bucket list!!
Ivy - Regular snow? Does that mean there's irregular snow? I'd like to see that! :)
Donna - Love cruising. My husband is always looking for good deals (and usually finds them!).
