Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

  My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service    Amerisleep Mattress Reviews  We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia  (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f

Shabby Apple Coupon and Dress Giveaway

*Update on 4/21/11* This giveaway is CLOSED ! Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter! I have a funny  Shabby Apple dress  story, plus photos of my all-time favorite Shabby Apple dress , the Baja (worn in the snow - I was freezing!). Thanks to everyone who voted for their favorite Shabby Apple dress! The results are clear - you love all the dresses, (no surprise there) but there's one in particular that makes your heart skip a beat.  Behold the ruffled, rusty-orange Cider: Cute, cute, cute! Haven't heard of them? Shabby Apple sells super-cute (obviously) women's dresses and little girls dresses. They even sell swimsuits and maternity dresses! There are a lot of things I like about the Shabby Apple website, most notably their Helping Women Worldwide page, which explains that "every $100 donation from Shabby Apple Dresses provides at least 20 women with access to financial services - and the chance to live a life without poverty."

Shabby Apple Giveaway - Help Choose a Dress

*4/7/11 Update* The giveaway is well underway, but people keep coming back to this post and voting for the dress that did not originally win, making my giveaway post seem screwy and ridiculous. You people make me smile. I'm looking forward to seeing who the poll winner is by the time the giveaway is over. Who knows? Perhaps Shabby Apple will let the winner choose their own dress. Exciting news! LambAround has been contacted to participate in a giveaway with Shabby Apple , meaning I get to select one amazing dress to randomly give to a reader. Pretty nifty, right? There's just one problem. Shabby Apple emailed me an extensive list of dresses to choose from, some for adults, some for kids, and even a few maternity dresses, and, although I've narrowed down my choices considerably, I just can't make up my mind on which dress to feature for my giveaway. As you, my reader, are the one who may end up with the dress, (sadly, there will not be a dress given to yours truly, so

Happy Birthday to Me!

Technically, my birthday isn't until next week, but I just checked my email and had 15 birthday deal messages! Let's see...if I use a coupon a day, starting tonight, I'll have used them all by April 18th (and will have eaten more than my fair share of pretzels, burgers, sandwiches, and brownie sundaes - gotta do it now before I get too old, right?) I owe all these nifty deals to a website (with which I am not affiliated in any way) I stumbled upon a few years ago: freebirthdaytreats.com . Just select your state, right-click on each business, and open each site in a new tab. Soon, you'll have more birthday goodies than you know what to do with. And, even if your birthday is not coming up, many of these companies will send you a welcome offer for signing up!  Free dinner just for being born? Why not!   Sexy Nerd would like to add that the "right click/open in new tab" thing is the reason my computer is always so slow, even though that's complete nonsen
