I've been considering getting something like the Ninja Pro because my blender has about had it. It's a pain to make smoothies in, as it really doesn't chop the ice properly. Did you like the Magic Bullet?

I love the Magic Bullet. It was great for basic blending and so easy to clean. I am actually on my second one and it's at least five years old. I want the Ninja because of the extra power. I'd like to try making my own nut milks and the MB did not give me a smooth enough result. Same thing with cashew cream. It comes out a little grainy. I am hoping the Ninja does the trick.
ETA: the bullet is great for smoothies but I'm not sure it would do so great with ice.
I think my Ninja is coming tomorrow or Thursday. I can definitely let you know how it does.

Yesterday afternoon/early evening: Hair salon, color and haircut. I'd, um, rather not say how much it cost. Then next door to the sushi place where I got veggie rolls (10 pieces), side salad, veggie spring rolls, edamame, vegetable fried noodles and veggie tempura. My intention was to have some left over for the next day. I ate the tempura, four pieces of the veggie rolls, and the salad. So yes, I definitely will have plenty leftovers for today. All that cost me about 25 bucks, but it's basically two meals.
I bought the Ninja last year from QVC as it was on special offer plus I got 3 easy payments. I must say it is really
efficient as it is 1000 W. You can blend whole vegetables and fruit plus ice cubes. However, you cannot put dry ingredients without some liquid. So it won't make nut butters.
I would highly recommend a Ninja if you like make smoothies, ice cream, purées and soups.
Thank you, KLS and Shyvas. This is great to know.
I ordered two sets of luxury bath towels. I haven't bought towels in more than 20 years, so I decided it was time to splurge. I found some on Overstock.com for a decent price, I think. They are Egyptian cotton and 900 gsm. I really hope they are soft and plush.
Each set comes with two large bath towels, two hand towels and two face cloths. I bought light blue and tea rose.

I also love soft, plushy towels.
Most of my towels are not as nice, and when I visit one of my best friends, she always has these lush, beautiful towels for me. I feel like I'm in a hotel when I visit her, lol. So I figured I'd try a couple of sets. I know they will be an improvement over what I have now.

I'm eager to hear about your new towels. I also love soft sheets and towels.
I have just ordered a complete set of beautiful soft sheets from M&S. The first order arrived yesterday and I can't wait to try the sheets.
I think that one's home should be luxurious and comfortable. It' nice to have beautiful linen, towels and throws.
I agree. I have always skimped in that department, but I'm quickly changing my tune. I, too, love soft sheets, and I will be ordering some soon. What thread count do you get? My sheets are all from discount department stores and aren't very soft.
It's not the thread count that is important but the quality of the cotton. Egyptian cotton is one of the best you can get. I have some Egyptian cotton with a 300 tc and the sheets are far softer than other sheets that have a higher thread count.
I usually buy mine from Ross or Tuesday morning. I also buy sheets from M&S when they are on special offer. I also bought a beautiful set of 800 tc on Vancouver Island and they are really soft.
Ahhh, I didn't realize that. Thank you for the info. That will be very helpful when I do buy the sheets.
My new mattress needs nice sheets.

I have bought really great linens from Overstock over the years. They have the best duvet covers that are really soft and durable without costing a fortune. We use duvets because I have this thing about top sheets trapping me. Lol. Anyway, I bet your towels are fab when you get them.Thank you, KLS and Shyvas. This is great to know.

Oooo, good to know. Thank you. I was considering some sheets from Overstock, but I can buy only so much at once.I have bought really great linens from Overstock over the years.

Lol - I use both.
My towels came last night, and this morning I used one after my shower. Wow, what a difference a nice towel makes. I felt as if I were at a spa! They are thick, heavy, soft and really absorbent. And they are large enough to wrap around me. I walked around my apartment wrapped in my towel for several minutes just to enjoy the feel of it, hehe. The hand towels are much bigger than my old ones, which is really nice. They will be great for when you're just washing your face and hands. The brand is called Superior. I may buy another set at some point. I would like a beige or green.

There is something very special when you have that feeling as if you were in a spa. I think that it really does make a difference and it is worth spending a little extra money for luxurious, soft linen and towels. Furthermore, they last a life time.
I slept on my new sheets and they were also lovely and soft. I like the warm, cosy feeling that you get when the bed linen is nice and soft.
I usually buy linen when it is on special offer and never pay the full price.
Are you planning to collect a set of towels ?
Yes, now that I know what this brand is like, and that I like it, I will buy a couple of more sets. I, too, don't pay full price. These were on sale, so I think I did well for what I spent: 4 large bath towels, 4 hand towels and 4 face cloths. The colors are just what I wanted. I think I will get a light green and possibly a beige or yellow the next time they go on sale.
I also want new sheets, but I definitely will wait for a good price before I buy. I'm still investigating the options and all, so I haven't yet decided what I will try. It's been so long since I bought sheets, but I know I definitely want soft and cozy as well. Just getting into bed is much more pleasant now that I have a new mattress, so I want the nice sheets now, too.
