Bliss Thru Shopping: Drama. Ice cream. Luke Perry. It’s been a very full week.
This week, Bag Lady was going to write about the ultimate joy that is Friendly’s Limited Edition Nor’easter Pothole ice cream, the existence and name of which I am totally not making up, and then Luke Perry died. Highs and lows, man. Highs and lows. BL and Shopping Siren, being somewhere between the ages of […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: Purse-uing perfection
Bag Lady and Shopping Siren unpack, toss out and downsize.
Bliss Thru Shopping: More Moose is good Moose
Bull Moose has always had a certain vibe: old-school cool tinged with geeky indie hipster. You know the place. It’s the little Lewiston shop stuffed with albums and Blu-ray movies, CDs and books, pop culture tchotchkes and gamer gear. Emphasis on little. Extra emphasis on stuffed. Until now. A recent move (down the hall) and […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: Wanna get away?
There comes a time in every Mainer’s winter when going — somewhere, anywhere, not Alaska — becomes more attractive than staying. Now is that time. It’s absurdly cold. It’s nor’easter snowy. Most everywhere else (we’re looking at you, Florida) sounds really good right now. In fact, Bag Lady recently returned from a trip to a […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: Shopping ideas best left for dead
So I’ll start by saying I have no clue what “manties” are and we’ll just go from there. Several weeks ago during a bit of forced e-cleaning, Bag Lady had a Mark LaFlamme moment. Oh, no fear — the fake feds aren’t after me and I’m not fleeing the casserole scourge — however, I did […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: Paradise on a plate, Maine-style
Full disclosure: Bag Lady and Shopping Siren have no idea what past governors have served at their inaugural celebrations. Could have been lobster, could have been burgers, could have been lightly toasted floor mats with blueberry zest. When we read that Janet Mills’ spread tonight includes a mashed potato bar and a sausage station with […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: All about Eve
A new year is coming! A new year is coming! I feel like Paul Revere. But it’s coming! Maybe you need to kick 2018 out the door and usher in 2019 with a liberal amount of alcohol. Or maybe 2018 was positively sublime and you need to quietly contemplate its amazingness. Or maybe you just […]
Bliss Thru Shopping: The elf on the retail shelf
Bag Lady and Shopping Siren are both pre-Elf on the Shelf people. Growing up, BL had a knit gray mouse ornament on the family tree that, come Christmas morning, always has fresh cheese stuck in his whiskers — suggesting that he’d raided the fridge overnight. (And she believed it for … too long.) Shopping Siren […]
