Eco-Chic Baby 75% Off Sale

I just wanted to let you all know about a going out of business sale that The Eco-Chic Baby store is having. I just bought a beautiful Käthe Kruse Nicki Baby in Violet and a SmartMom pink cupcake teething bling bracelet there for 75% off! I saved a total of $43.27!!

The Käthe Kruse Nicki Baby is a soft doll in one piece sleeper suit and colorful pointed cap. It is made in Germany and is super cute! Teela was looking at pictures of it on their website and saying dolly over and over again. I am buying it for her as an early Birthday present (her Birthday is on April 15th) and I think she is going to love it! I think I bought the last violet one they had because a few minutes after I purchased, it says it is now out of stock.

The SmartMom Teething Bling Bracelet in pink cupcake is for me. I am a sucker for teething jewelry and even though Teela won't have an interest in chewing on it anymore it is perfect for her also to play dress up with. She loves playing dress up and the safer it is for her to play with the safer I feel about her having it. It is safe for her because it doesn't have small parts that she might choke on if she were to put it in her mouth and the material it is made from is safe also.

If you want to save 75% off in their shop you better hurry! Things are going quick and they are shutting down their shop in less than 2 weeks! Just type in the code: closeout and you can get the savings I did.

They are both shipping from Canada and I hope they arrive here safely. I will update this post when I get them.

The X and Y of Buy by Elizabeth Pace Review

The X and Y of Buy by Elizabeth Pace is a book that tells how to be a successful marketer by knowing the differences between men and women. Let's face it, women shop differently than men. Men like to get in and get out with what they were after without spending too much time and hassle on it. Women like to peruse through the store and find bargains even if it wasn't something they were after to begin with and have a "shop til we drop" mentality. It also says that a man doesn't use both hemispheres of the brain at the same time and a woman is the opposite multi-tasking at every turn and connecting all things together. At least this is what this book says and some of you might be in disagreement about the whole "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" thing. There are always going to be men and women who don't fit the gender stereotypes.

I find myself more so a stereotypical female. I am a SAHM and love spending time with my kids. My husband is the breadwinner of the family. Over and over again I find myself falling for sales pitches for things I feel that I have to have for some reason or another only to have my husband tell me why I don't really need this or that and the majority of the time he has some fairly good reasons to justify himself. Although unlike the stereotypical woman, I do not own a closet full of shoes and handbags or really feel a necessity to buy a lot of them either. I also do not own a lot of makeup or spend half the morning making myself look pretty. I personally like being natural. I wonder what my life would be like if I was the breadwinner and my husband was the stay at home father. I know many women who thrive in fast paced, high stress positions...I just don't know if I could be one of them.

Some may see this book as sexist, but it has scientific evidence for its theories about the way men and women behave differently when shopping, buying, or just doing anything. It looks at the brain and pulls it apart piece by piece showing how women use it differently than men. It shows how our differences in thinking effect our outcomes in buying. It explains how we are wired differently and what the marketer needs to do to effectively sell their products.
