Thanksgiving & eShakti

I received this product complimentary for review purposes. All opinions are entirely my own.

Happy December dear readers! As much as I want to spew all kinds of stuff about Christmas and December, I have to backtrack a bit and cover my Thanksgiving!

So first, just in time for the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving, I received an email from eShakti asking if I would review a product from them! Naturally, as a fan of free stuff, I went ahead and ordered my complimentary dress.

The process was something I had never experienced yet, and it was great. I normally hate ordering clothes online because you get it and it's just all kinds of not fitting. This time, though, I was able to customize everything! I had the option to put sleeves on the dress - and not just any sleeves, I could do a cap sleeve, a full sleeve, a half sleeve, etc. I could customize the length, short or long. I could put in my measurements or just pick one general size and hope for the best. 

I had a lot of fun customizing it! After I ordered it took a couple of days for it to ship, but once it did it came really fast. I got it the day before Thanksgiving, actually. The fabric felt a little like scrubs, but it was still super duper comfortable. 

For Thanksgiving, we went by my grandparents on my mom's side and everyone kept commenting how cute the dress was. My mom kept telling me to bring extra clothes, but I didn't need to. I wore the dress all day! 

I highly recommend this company, it was a lot of fun picking out something I liked and customizing it to exactly what I needed. If you guys want to take a peek at the awesome selection they have, check them out at eShakti! 

Dear Walmart, You Suck

I'm still alive! I will get to my absence later on after I've finished going through my pictures and getting a post written out for y'all, but for now I need to go on a rant.

For any fellow Shadowhunters out there, you know that today is a big HUGE day for us! (What am I talking about? Check it out here) The final book comes out today and we're all supposed to get our hearts ripped out. Bring it on!

So instead of cruising a half hour downtown where there is a Barnes&Noble, I decided to hit up my local Walmart, since it's on my way to work. And upon entering, this is what I see:

Naturally I'm starting to get excited. I mean, I've waited over a year for this baby to come out, and I will soon have her in my hands! 

I cruise down to where the books are... turn the corner aaannndd...

No book.

There is nothing! Not even a sign, not an indent indicating that it had been there but sold out. Nothing. Zilch. Trust me, I stood there for like ten minutes hoping that it would pop out at me. To no avail. 

So, Walmart, I'm not too pleased with you. How could you advertise something, and not have it on the shelves? It says, plain as day, that it was available Tuesday, May 27. Guess what, Walmart, it's Tuesday the 27th. And guess what else - my book was not available. 

Why am I so angry about this? Because, Walmart, this is not the first time this has happened to me. I don't know how many times I have gone to your store, seeing advertisement that something is there only to have it not be there. Actually with the book before this one, City of Fallen Angels, I encountered the same deal. So it's not like it happened this one time and I'm publicly ranting about this, oh no, this has happened multiple times in the past. So Walmart, get your shit together. I'm off to Target now.
