Uber

I know I'm late to this party, but I finally starting using Uber earlier this month when I was on vacation in Palm Beach. Verdict? LOVED IT.

Why the hell don't people gush about this app more? I don't know if I'd want to (or feel comfortable) using it in New York City, but on vacation it makes so much sense to use. Especially since cabs are so bloody expensive. 

And maybe this is a dumb detail, but I love the fact that you can follow the car along on the app as its on its way to pick you up. 

If you haven't tried it out yet, but you're curious - you can get a free ride if you use a coupon code that a friend refers you. (And since we're friends... you can use referral code: elizabethh1835 if you so please.)

e.l.f. Face Primer

I swear to God this primer feels as good as the ones available from Smashbox. How is that possible? I have no idea. But it's clear that from now on, I'll only ever be buying the e.l.f. primers. They even have five different types to choose from, which seems insane to actually have choice when the price is so crazy decent. 

There's absolutely no reason you need to be spending $30+ on any kind of primer, so please stop it. You're only encouraging these overpriced companies that should be really ashamed of themselves.

Even if this video was faked, I still love it.

Ummm, this seems amazing. I feel like this app might basically be a more modern (and fun) version of eBay.

Tim Hortons & Nutella

Tim Hortons has partnered with Nutella! The items in question? Chocolate-hazelnut doughnuts and Nutella pastry pockets. I tried the doughnut and truthfully? It's way too sweet. And coming from me, I think that really says something. And the Nutella isn't really displaced very well - there's just a blob of it in the center. What's with that?

The pastry pocket (shown above), though? Such a delight. The perfect amount of Nutella is in that baby. Definitely get that one the next time you're in the mood.

They're both available all summer until August 30th.
