Good Morning!!
First, I didn’t do a full playlist post this week because I decided to take a little break on the music before diving into the 2000s. I did change the side weekly playlist widget to all Post Malone though, because I love him and think that he and all of his songs are great! One of his latest releases is from the most recent Spiderman movie and like all the rest of his songs, it is soooo catchy! It’s called “Sunflower” and it’s the first song on my weekly playlist. Take a listen if you haven’t heard it before!
So moving on – today I wanted to blog about one of my most recent purchases! They are the limited edition Dunkin’ sneakers from Saucony and I am loving them!!
Last year, one of my best friends alerted me that Dunkin’ had a line of sneakers out in support of the Boston Marathon and by the time I looked them up online, they were all sold out and I was devastated! I stalked eBay for them for a while, but the prices people were charging were insane so I never got my hands on them.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I was browsing social media when I saw that Dunkin’ was promoting a new line of sneakers that were coming out soon!! I quickly set an alarm on my phone for the date and time that they said they would be available!! No way was I missing out this year!
The day finally came and I promptly ordered two pairs of sneakers to ensure the perfect fit! Once I got them in the mail, I was overjoyed!
You see, I love Dunkin’. It just makes me so happy! And then I started thinking about why I really love Dunkin’. I think my sister, the economist in my family, put it best once years ago when she told me that it’s an affordable luxury, which is why everyone loves places like Starbucks and getting coffee out. Almost everyone can afford $2-$3 to put towards more joy in their day via a new purchase like a fancy coffee!
I enjoy the affordable luxury like everyone else, but I think Dunkin’ is a bit more special than that. I love their bright, pretty pink and orange colors. I love their food – although I’m sad that they have cut out blueberry bagels in recent years. Their double chocolate donuts are the best and I’ve passed my love of them onto my daughter! 🙂 And although most of their workers seem disgruntled (I get it – I worked there myself back in the day and it was HARD), every once in a while you get one that seems genuinely happy and doesn’t rush me with my order and it makes me even more overjoyed to go there!
It’s the experience of picking out the prettiest donut to go with my iced coffee that I love. Or picking which greasy breakfast sandwich I want with my hash browns (definitely bacon, egg, & cheese on an everything bagel!) I just love it and I had to get these sneakers to show my love and honestly, I think that they are super cute! I mean, they even have little strawberry frosted donut emblems on them!! Oh, AND little coffee cups on the tongue! ♥
So kudos to Dunkin’ for making these sneakers! No, I won’t be running the marathon, I can barely run 2-3 miles without feeling like I’m going to die, but I do support them and their delicious coffee and goodies!
Who else loves Dunkin’? What is your favorite thing to order?!
**So the sad news is that like last year, these sneakers are sold out on the Saucony’s website. Like I said above, I ordered two sizes, so if anyone is a women’s size 9 and is interested I have a pair! Or you can try to find them on eBay!
