nifty: tile will save your life and find your things

There are all sorts of things out there that claim to help you find anything you've ever lost... but I think I believe this one.

Welcome Tile... a little block you attach to anything, that connects to the Internets, which tell you exactly where it is and can even make noises to help you out.

I mean, I only needed to see like 15 seconds of that to know I needed one. Turns out, they're $19. To be honest, I don't have that in my budget... but when you think about it.. it could be saving you WAY more than that. I lose my phone and camera and debit card at least every other month.

This isn't an advertisement [although I wish it was cuz that would mean I'd have one of these things], but I feel like I'm gonna need to find a way to get at least a few of these. You probably should too.

nifty things you need for summer but will never afford

.... that is unless you have a sugar daddy, of course.

Anyone can say they're going to have the best summer ever, but let's be honest with ourselves... it can always get better. Until we have any of these things in our lives, we'll never have the best summer ever.

Mermaid suits

Totally customizable and ready for you to shock everyone at the beach. Imagine if you swim a little ways down the beach, then make yourself a "beached mermaid." OMG AND THE CROWD GOES WILD. And it might actually be affordable... for $350.

Inflatable Twister board

Maybe you're like, "it looks cool, but not that cool." Stop it. Have a couple beers. Put it on the water. Call the role of the spinner, and watch people play. You just got entertainment for days for $2000.

Pool rock climbing wall

I can't see how this is even remotely safe, besides the fact that you're landing in "soft" water, but hey! It looks like a freakin' blast! You'd instantly have the best pool on the block in the state. No more competing for the best pool party of the summer, you got this for at least $4,000.

Self controlled ski-boat

So ya wanna go skiing but you don't wanna get a boat yourself and all of your friends have the same excuse. Badda bing, badda boom! This little boat is easy enough for anyone, and it can pull you behind it at 40mph! Best part: The handle is a remote control, so you tell it where to go and what waves to catch for $17,000.

BBQ boat

WOAH BEST OF ALL WORLDS! You can cook out, not just by the water, but on the water, with 9 of your besties! The grill is on board and all the utensils/things you would ever need, plus it looks great. You can seriously amaze for $50,000... or for a little less get the hot tub boat!

Hidden pool

Pools definitely look gorgeous in a backyard, but sometimes ya just wanna put them away so you can let people walk around. Sometimes you want to make it a little more shallow when it's super cold. People will think you're the neatest of the neat with this diddy for $65,000.

And now prepare yourself for the Sports Park 60. AKA water playground.

SIXTY PEOPLE can play on this thing at once! and we're not talking kids. It's got trampolines, beams, ramps, jungle gyms, climbing walls, the blob, bars, mini boats... literally everything you could ever want for your entire life. It needs to be added to the list of things we need for our adult summer camp. I can't stop staring. It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's $70,000.

I don't know how many times I gotta ask for a Sugar Daddy until one finally shows up at my door, but I'll keep trying. I'd really enjoy being everyone's favorite person in the summertime... plus my birthday issss coming up....

love,

nifty furniture you'll need for the coolest house ever

I spend hours a night on Pinterest looking at the coolest of the cool things that I could get to make my house the one everyone will want to visit this summer, so now it's about time I share them with you so we can have the same dream house. [But still come play at MINE, okay?!]

This my friends is a floppy disk coffee table, that lets you play with that metal piece you always used to as much as you want! Bonus: It could even be a work-out!

And THIS, is a fully functioning Nintendo controller coffee table! Just take the top glass off, hook it up to your system, and play away! Gaming fa dayzz!

Maybe your friends are a little lamer than you [or will steal your stash], so you need to hide your beer fridge near your bed... in a NIGHT STAND! 

Or we can just trip people out with this floating table cloth! Sure, they might figure out the secret eventually, but in the meantime you'll look all Casper-ific!

Now we need some seating...

I've always wanted a bean bag, but people told me I was crazy. Just LOOK at this thing! You can flop it around however you want and not even worry about it getting flat! Pretty sure people would fight over it. [In the good way.]

Finally, if you have a solid sugar daddy, this here rocking outdoor bed looks so freaking comfortable, but mostly fun! Imagine the sex... and the tricks... and the rocking/flipping. 

Okay, I guess some of those aren't exactly in my normal budget, but I can't resist adding them to my wish-list. Maybe someone will feel like donating to charity. [Me being the charity, for the morons.]

nifty website: sugarsugar is my dream come true

Oh. Em. GEE!!!!

You guys. My dream has come true! It's officially easy to find me a Sugar Daddy, and he'll totally know exactly what I want out of the relationship!

Enter SugarSugar.com, "Where romance meets finance."

Literally, it's all about girls who need a little financial support from guys who need a little bit of fun in their lives.

Now, I wanna get something straight- these couples look entirely too in love for me. Unless they're faking it, if this is really about the financial help, I'm looking for a little more no-strings-attached. Benefits on both ends, but homegirl doesn't
need something clouding her heart right now.

Enough about me, more about the site! This thing even tells you who is online, and informed me that there are over 107,500 sugar daddies in Texas.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING ALL MY LIFE?!?

Good thing I don't need to find one BEFORE I join! It's free! HOLLAAA.

And before you judge me for being fake, you shut your mouth and read a quote from the site:

“Sugar Daddy relationships are as old as mankind itself. Men have a natural instinct to surround themselves with beauty, and women have always sought out the security of a mature, financially stable man. While these aren't the only qualifications for a good dating experience, they are a good place to start!”

See? It's perfectly normal! Now go find yourself one!

love,
elizabethany

PS: One of these days I'll meet a guy who hasn't seen this blog and isn't repulsed by everything I say.... But then I'll be mad that he hasn't read it.

exclusive interview: ben nemtin from mtv's the buried life

Tweet Tonight is the finale of Season 2 of "The Buried Life" on MTV, which I think has been one of the shows to bring MTV's programming back up to greatness.

If you haven't seen it, four guys have made a bucket list of things to do before they die and are completing the most bizarre things without any help from MTV.

I was REALLY excited to talk to Ben, who seems to be the head of this whole "project," and ask him about everything from how it all started, what's been the biggest or most surprising accomplishment, and how he can help me with my list.

"When we do the show, we make sure we don't ask any favors of them because for us, we wanna prove that regular people can do these things, and we want to be like you and your friends going out and what would you do? That keeps the show grounded."

Tonight's episode features #75: Make a million dollars. I don't know that the usual person could do that overnight the way they did, but it sure would be interesting to try.

He was a really cool guy [mostly because of how he said he'd help me with my list] so I advise you to listen to the entire thing, duh.



YES!!!! I've FINALLY found my Sugar Daddy! And maybe now all of these repetitive dreams of meeting Britney Spears will come true.

Thank you, Ben... for officially becoming my hero and money supply. I'll send my address right away.

love,
elizabethany

nifty: the bubbletree bubble tent

Tweet Have you ever wanted to just live outside? Or maybe have your own little bubble to live in? Well now they have these things called Bubble Huts that can make that possible.

These tents blow up and give you ample room inside and make outside noises almost nonexistent.

Yes, they're see-through. And maybe some of you are like "OMG PEOPLE CAN SEE ME I NEED MY PRIVACY," but there are ways to fix that. OR, just pitch the tent somewhere a little more private.

This seriously seems like the most peaceful thing ever to me. Do you not wanna just climb in and cozy up on that beautiful furniture and stare out into the wilderness?!

Sure, people can see in, but I'd feel like I was in my own world. And since it's portable, imagine going hiking or something for a week and staying on an empty beach one night, then on a mountaintop the next, then by a waterfall after that... HEAVEN!

Plus, there are different options! You can get a small one, or up to a few rooms! And the way they're decorated tells me there's plenty of space.

The downfall: They cost a pretty penny. About $12,000 to own one for life, or over $600 a night to rent.

If I had money, this would absolutely be worth an investment in my books. I love the outdoors, but I hate bugs, and all the dumb stuff that comes with it. I'd love to constantly wake up "outside," while staying comfortable.

So, seriously, Sugar Daddy, WHERE THE EFF YOU AT?! Mark this on your "Get for eBeth" list, please. Then we can snuggle all night long just like that happy couple.

love,
elizabethany

my first ever giveaway! antoine dodson decals

Tweet OMG. I have the BEST readers/fans/listeners/whatever EVER.

I've been asking for a Sugar Daddy for the longest, and it feels like I've scored a SECRET Sugar Daddy! It's like half secret admirer, half Sugar Daddy.

The other week I showed you this awesome Antoine Dodson merchandise and begged for someone to get it for me. Today in the mail I got this anonymous letter:

EB-
I read on your blog that you wanted an Antoine Dodson shirt, and while I don't have $20 + shipping to blow either, what I do have is the ability to make decals. So, here you go!

Inside the envelope were 8 decals of what the shirts I wanted had on them.

I seriously have NO idea who sent these! All I know is that they're from DC and have neat handwriting, and were smart and amazing enough to look up the address to the station and send them. It could be a girl, so I should probably refer to them as my Secret Sugar Maddy from now on. [Mama plus Daddy, duh.] I wish I could thank them personally [and see if we can work something out to get love, EB ones made since I've been looking at pricing for that anyway], but hopefully they'll just see this.


Anyway, onto the giveaway thing-

I'm obviously going to keep two of them for myself, but it's time I start giving back to you guys! If you love the Antoine Dodson stuff as much as I do, all you've gotta do this week is send out a tweet with the link to this page and @luvelizabethany so I can see it. By the end of the week, I'll pick all of the people who will get one of these awesome decals! [They're the kind that stick right onto your window or anything and don't have to have that annoying clear sticker edge around it! SO cool!]

I'll write down all of the tweets' usernames I receive and have my coworkers pick so that it's fair.

If you're in the BCS/Texas area, I'll even throw in some RenFest tickets for ya!

Again- Thanks to the person who made these! If you want to come forward, please do! If not, you shall forever be my Secret Sugar Maddy.

love,
elizabethany

nifty: antoine dodson clothes

Tweet I'm not sure if it's ridiculous that he's still such a big, hilarious thing, but Antoine Dodson EVERYTHING still makes me LOL.

When DJ X posted to a bunch of "Hide ya ___" clothes, I immediately added them to my Christmas list.

Seeeriously...Check out how amazing these things are.

Sugar Daddy, if you're out there and reading this right now, I think I should tell you that I most love the "You are really DUMB" tee and the white hoodie. Kthanks.

I'm so glad the guy has gotten to capitalize on this and move his family out of the projects. It's like the craziest YouTube viral story ever... And that's why it'll never get old. Ever.

love,
elizabethany

nifty: coolest couch, loveseat, recliner EVER

I don't know what to call this thing besides the GENIUS have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too piece of furniture!

It's a couch, it's a recliner, it's a loveseat, it's individual chairs... It's literally whatever you want it to be.

Thanks to a language barrier, I can't figure out how much it costs, but I want it. Seeeeriously... When am I gonna find me a freakin' sugar daddy!?

love,
elizabethany

nifty: outox- your new lifesaver

If this isn't the most genius invention ever to hit this planet, I don't know what is.

It's called Outox, but that means nothing to you.

What it does: Un-drunks you. No really. It claims to decrease your level of hammered-drunk just by drinking one can! It also prevents hangovers!

Scientifically speaking: it does something along the lines of breaking down your blood cells or alcohol in them so that your BAC is lowered, you feel less drunk, and you can function better.

Ummmm... Can we say HELL YES?!

Sure it probably doesn't completely take away your intoxication, but at least you can try to prevent any "oh no what the H did I do last night"s before they happen!

I'm in love. I don't care if they were invented in France, I want to order a lifetime's supply right now.

Sugar Daddy, where you at?! I need you! Pronto!

love,
elizabethany

nifty: the hug e gram

Oohh, move over, Snuggie! There's a new ridiculous Seen on TV item that is about to take over the world!

The Hug-E-Gram.



Isn't that nice?! A hug in the mail! One that lasts forever, too! Just imagine- You could always have someone hugging you while you sleep, but they wouldn't be breathing on you! Having a bad day? Pfft! Here's a hug!

It's pure genius, really. Especially for military wives! They could feel the warmth and hear their hubby every day!

My only recommendation: If it's from your lover, make sure the hands are constantly placed behind you. It may be a little awkward imagining them when looking at Mickey's arms on you.

I want one. Now. Sugar Daddy, where ya at?!

love,
elizabethany

calling all sugar daddies!

We all know I've been looking for my official Sugar Daddy for quite some time, and I have officially created somewhat of an application. If you'd like to be considered, click here, fill out the boxes and hit the button at the bottom of the page. Then copy and paste your answers into an email and send it to me: elizabethanyy [at] gmail [dot] com!

The reason I bring this up is because.. Well, two reasons actually. 1) I've found a ridiculous amount of cool things today that are worth spending your money on and 2) I found a list of the 25 best cities to find a Sugar Daddy. And no, I kid you not.

I want to point out the top 10 specifically:

10. Arlington, MA
9. Irvine, CA
8. Herndon, VA
7. Oak Park, IL
6. Edwards, CO
5. Santa Clara, CA
4. Edgewater, NJ
3. Coronado, CA
2. Arlington, VA
1. Hermosa Beach, CA

Ummmm.... In case you didn't notice, NORTHERN VIRGINIA HAS 1/5 OF THIS LIST!!! The only state it lost to is Cali, and that state is like 10 Virginias in one!

So uh... Seriously... Arlington and Herndon... WHERE YOU AT?!?!? I love youuuuu... ;)
