Cyber Monday 2018

With having a six month old (as of today! gaaah), Christmas shopping on Cyber Monday via my couch never sounded so beautiful. Here are some round ups of my favorite deals today!

Vitamix Blender: I feel like I should work for Vitamix because I talk about it all the time. I love ours so much. I use it at least once a day (sometimes two or three times) for smoothies, dressings, and especially this time of year when I blend soups. (I can’t wait to use it for baby food too!) It is so powerful blending up even the tiniest chia seeds and greens. It’s over $130 off today and under $300. If you are wondering whether to get this is a gift or simply for your family, today is the day!

All-Clad Stainless Steel Pan: I talked about this pan in a Friday Favorites a few weeks ago. Yes it is a splurge but YES it is worth every single penny! We use it every day and love the way it cooks. It’s $70 off today and such a deal! 🙂

Keurig Coffee Maker: This is the Keurig we have and it works great for us. It’s a single serve cup and I love it. It’s $20 off today and under $80. Yes. Under $80! I feel like this is a no-brainer as a gift idea or if you are in store for a new coffee maker. (And my favorite K Cups!)

Williams Sonoma: They have great deals in general today. Up to 70% off!

Young Living: They are offer huge sales today! I have come to love their products and use them in almost every area of life. They are offering 20% off select Thieves, Ningxia, and make-up products today only! My favorites from the thieves line? Cleaner, dish soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent. I love the “Crowned All Over” bronzer also!

Minted: (Where we bought our Christmas cards last year). They’re offering 25% off and free shipping today!

Target: I buy such an assortment from Target (who doesn’t?!) and there are discounts on just about everything, plus an additional 15% off today.

Antique Candle Works: Buy two candles get one free! Yes please! 🙂 These are all over our house and I’m currently burning, “Good Tiding” and/or “Christmas Day” on repeat!

First Aid Beauty: 30% off! Use code: FUNDAY.

What deals did I miss? What are your favorites? Tell me in the comments so I don’t miss out. 😉 Happy Monday!

But then I got to thinking how making a big batch for Thanksgiving would be perfect! It’s a non-traditional, yet hearty fall salad that can feed a lot of people. Plus, it’s easy to toss together. Enjoy! xo

Dairy Free Chocolate Milk

,

Dairy Free Chocolate Milk--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.comI love chocolate milk and crave it from time to time. BUT..I think of all the sugar and I’m not totally sure if it’s worth it in my mind. So I decided to make an alternative with less sugar that still satisfies exactly what I’m going for. And when I say less sugar, I mean A LOT less. It also is loaded with healthy fats from the coconut milk and great antioxidants from the cacao powder. It’s creamy and smooth with each sip and won’t disappoint. Bonus: once it’s blended, it creates a whipped topping that makes it feel like a fun dessert in the process. It’s also dairy free (hence the title) in case you need to incorporate that into your everyday. 🙂Dairy Free Chocolate Milk--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com Dairy Free Chocolate Milk--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com
