Discounts and giveaways just in time for Valentine's Day

Ladies, what are you getting for Valentines Day? Men, what are you giving?

A card with a heart-felt note inside is always lovely ... and often enough. But what about when your Valentine is extra special and you want to give her something to show how much she means?

Do you give candy?

In the past, I’ve always loved getting a big box of nuts and chews. But again this year, I am participating in our office’s Biggest Loser challenge (Lose Muffin Tops! Lose!), so candy is definitely off the list of gift ideas for me this year.

I would, however, love to get a sweet SWEXY band instead.

As much as I love the name “Muffin Tops” for my Biggest Loser team, I don’t want to be known as the girl with the muffin top as I lumber around the track at the gym. The SWEXY band absorbs extra ... uh, perspiration ... and hides the muffin top. How awesome is that?

And you know what, you don’t have to buy yourself one (or for your Valentine), you can WIN one simply by clicking here and leaving a comment.

Easy as pie ... uh, maybe I should say, “Easy as getting to the gym” unless that’s not easy for you, then we’ll just stick with the pie.

Afraid that your Valentine doesn’t want work-out gear for the holiday of romance? Then click over here to find out how you can get a DISCOUNT on Cari Taylor’s gorgeous, eco-friendly, hand-crafted Wired Originals jewelry.

I love Cari’s jewelry. Her earrings are all I wear. I now have four pair which are in constant rotation. I never get bored of them and they go with everything.

And I’d still love to have more. HINT, HINT, Bill!

I’d love to add these to my collection. Oh and these. OK and these, too.

Who am I fooling? I’d love to have one of each pair of her earrings.

So if you want to buy me ... uh, I mean yourself or your Valentine some lovely, locally made jewelry on SALE, click over here by Sunday, Feb. 7.

Believe me, your Valentine will thank you!

I win, you win — that's how Rivetergirl rolls

Last week, I was a loser and a breaker. I love my favorite scarf my mom gave me for Christmas (if someone goes to the Quincy would you mind asking if they have it in their lost and found?), I broke my camera, dented my bike fender and lost one of my custom "Robin" Valentine's Wired Originals earrings.

This week, I'm a finder and a winner.

On Tuesday, Cari from Wired Originals sent me a replacement earring. When I got home for lunch, shortly after getting the replacement, I found the missing earring. It was sitting on one of the chairs at our kitchen table. 'the hell?

Then I opened the mail.

I won, not one, but two prizes from the Lions Club raffle.

Two prizes, no shit.

The first prize was a hunndert dollars cash. I'm keeping that — mama, needs a guitar case for her Flying V.

The second prize is equally as cool, but I'm giving it away.
