Huge Vineyard Vines Outlet Sale!

I absolutely love Vineyard Vines clothing. Quality made, cute designs and colors, and I just love the cute little whale mascot. The problem is, it’s not always in the budget for me.

When Vineyard Vines does their sales though, they don’t mess around. They have such cute clothing for spring and summer. Whether it’s planning on outfits for an upcoming vacation, attending a spring or summer wedding, or looking to update the church clothes they got you.

Right now Vineyard Vines outlet is having its summer preview sale. This one is big! Save 50% off when you spend $200+ or 40% off everything. Plus free shipping on orders of $125+ Use code: PREVIEW

Another thing I like about Vineyard Vines is they have something for everyone. Fishing themes, beach themes, holiday designs, sports designs, they even do collabs like their JAWS collab and NFL pieces. I actually have a Steelers X Vineyard Vines shirts.

What will you grab during the sale?

The Optomist Movie – In Theaters March 11

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for Trafalgar Releasing.

Based on a true story, THE OPTIMIST follows Holocaust survivor Herbert Heller and the unlikely friendship that transforms two lives. At 15, Herbert escaped the Auschwitz-Birkenau death march, carrying the weight of silence for six decades. When he finally breaks that silence, he forms a life-saving bond with Abby, a troubled teenager confronting her own pain. Together, they discover hope, healing, and the transformative power of being truly seen.

Directed by Finn Taylor and produced by Jeanine Thomas, THE OPTIMIST stars Stephen Lang and Elsie Fisher in an intimate, intergenerational story about trauma, memory, and healing. Lang delivers a career-defining performance opposite Fisher in a story developed over more than a decade by Thomas, who first met Heller before his passing in 2021. The film honors Heller’s legacy as an educator and survivor who shared his testimony with thousands of students nationwide.

The ensemble cast includes Luke David Blumm, Leah Pipes, Ben Geurens, Ursula Parker, Slavko Sobin, Stella Stocker, Oskar Hes, and Robin Weigert. Produced by Jeanine Thomas and Noah Lang, with executive producer Todd Slater, the film features cinematography by Antonio Riestra and Alexander Surkala and editing by Kaufmanova Olina and Rick LeCompte.

“Herbert’s story shows how one person can change countless lives,” said director Finn Taylor. Producer Jeanine Thomas added, “This film is the fulfillment of a promise to honor his truth.” Stephen Lang called the role “a profound privilege.”

The film will be released nationwide on March 11, 2026, through Trafalgar Releasing.

As my 16 year old son prepares for his school field trip to the Holocaust museum in DC, I feel like this is a film we should watch together. I feel like this would be a very education, yet moving film, that would open up discussion. Subjects like this are necessary but can also be very heavy.

Apparently Squishmallow has fragrances

There I was, browsing Ulta’s website, as I sometimes do, and I stop. I see a picture of a cute pink Squishmallow cow on Ulta’s website. My daughter loves her Squishmallows, but I had to wonder, “Does Ulta sell Squishmallows?”

It didn’t seem likely to me, but hey, I’ve been wrong before. Curiosity gets the best of me so I click on the little pink and metallic cow. Would you believe it took me to a “free gift with purchase page” You know what I needed to purchase to get said cow? A Squismallow fragrance.

First of all, the bottles are friggin’ adorable. They have this vintage-looking pump sprayer but the bottles are shaped like Squishmallows. They have 3 different fragrances. The scents sound delicious and I’m so so tempted to scoop one up. I no longer care about the free gift with purchase (though it would be nice)

But the internal battle happens. My daughter’s birthday is the end of March. Do I get one for her birthday? Do I get me one because I kinda want it. Do I get us both one? Do I really need to spend the money on 2 Squishmallow fragrances? As I write this post I’m still deciding.

Well if you’re not as indecisive as me you can grab your Squishmallow fragrance right now and get a free Squishmallow gift with purchase. This offer only applies to shipped orders though. It says pick up and store delivery orders do not qualify for the gift with purchase off. This offer ends 4/4/26.

There is also a Squishmallow coffret set that has smaller versions of all 3 fragrances is you just can’t decide.

Let me know if you get one and which one. I’m kinda thinking I want the little purple bat but the scent for the pink cow sounds really nice too.
