Can't believe Christmas is almost here!!!! I'm actually excited yet sad at the same time, because the year is coming to an end :(
I was smart this year and got all my Christmas shopping done early and I'm ready to give them out! :) I know that they are many last minute shoppers out there, but I am proud to say that I am not part of that club this year!!! Yayyyy me!!!!
Wanted to take the time and wish very one a very Happy Holiday and I hope that you are able to spend it with your loved ones, may it be friends or family.
Once the time comes I might post a video on my YouTube account showing what I received and maybe what my daughter and boyfriend got too! We will see.

One down...one more to go!
Hey there readers (if I actually have any)!!!!
So the monthly beauty subscriptions are starting to pile in, plus all the Ebay items I purchased, lol!! I have already received my Glambag/Ipsy subscription for this month, once again I am waiting on my Birchbox to get here. Hopefully, I will receive it by Monday, but we will see.
So far as always my Glambag was amazing but I will get into more detail once I do my blog comparing the two.
So just wanted to give you the heads up that my comparison blog should be up soon :) Can't wait to show you guys what I got. So stay tuned!!!

Haul-a-polooza!!!!! :)
What it do Boo's!!!!!!
Can't believe I have posted 2 blogs so close together, but so happened that I did a few hauls and my days off have arrived :) Yayyyyy to the weekend!!!!
Talk about TGIF, and even better I did a little bargain shopping, and if you know me you know how much I love to do that :)
As always, I started off at my top fav store EVER!!!!! I know you that actually take the time to read my blogs, know what that place is called........yup, TARGET!!!!! Target is a weakness of mine and I have to attempt to keep my distance at times, so I avoid draining my entire bank account, LOL!!!! And if I don't be careful, I am sure that it can possibly happen, so sad I know.
First of all, I went into Target looking for a cute top to wear to my company's Christmas Party, and I ended up coming out with all of this and no shirt! Am I shocked? No! This is so me!!! LOL
Everything shown above came to a little over $20, which isn't too bad. I got lucky to find the Revlon Eyeshadow Palettes on clearance. I love it when I see those stickers on things, especially makeup! :))))))
The TimTam's were a plus only because I been hearing that they are amazing and I wanted to try them out for myself. Target had them on sale for $2.50 this week. I just so happened to get lucky to get this when it was on sale.
I have been on the hunt for pastel colors, especially a mint and coral color, and also I was looking for a gold color that wasn't made up of only glitter. Since I took my time to look around Target today I took a lot of time in the nail area, which I never do. I'm glad I did because I was able to find 2 of the 3 polishes I was look for. SCORE!!!! I couldn't wait to try them out so I painted my nails with them as soon as I got home. I was right when I thought they would look amazing together :))))) Unfortunately, these weren't on sale but they were worth every penny to me! This was my first time trying Sinful Colors and I love the quality of their nail polish and they are pretty affordable too! I got the Mint Apple from them and it was only $1.99. The gold metallic color is by Sally Hansen their hard as nails Xtreme Wear line, its called Golden-I, and was only $2.49.
So after my little bargain spree at Target, which should've been enough, but wasn't, I decided to go to CVS. I rarely go to CVS because their beauty products are way to over priced for my taste. But the past few days a few people I follow on Instagram have been posting about some cosmetics being 50-75% off. So I decided at 11pm that I would take a look (only I would do something like that, thank goodness for 24 hour CVS). I am glad that I went and I hoped that I would have went their prior to going to Target.
As you can see on my receipt, I saved so much! I only spent $8.18 and saved $19.92 :) that's what I am talking about!!!!
I didn't get as much as I did at Target but I am happy with what I found and I am looking forward to checking out some other CVS stores out :)
Lately I have been really happy with Revlon products, then again minus their cream eyeshadows. I wish I came here before I purchased the other eyeshadow palettes at Target, but it is what is, same thing when it came to the nail polish. I found the coral color I have been wanting and a plus is that it was 50% off and unfortunately so was Golden-I. The lip butter lipstick by Revlon was a plus, I wished they had more colors I actually liked for 75% but beggars can't be choosers I guess. But as I said before I am happy with what I found and I can't wait for tomorrow so I can see if they have more good clearance at their other locations.
I know I need to take it easy on all this makeup shopping but I can't help it, especially since I love makeup and I know it is an amazing deal on stuff that I use almost daily.
Hope you guys take a look at your local stores and find amazing sales/deals on items you love. I am not going to lie sometimes you do have to take the time and look at everything and you will find things that you wouldn't have found otherwise. That is one thing I don't mind doing since every penny counts in my bank account. I am not one to buy things full price since I don't have money to splurge like I use to. But since things have changed I have learned to search and look for deals that many other people don't take the time to find and I always run across things that I can't believe are so cheap!
Hope you enjoyed this blog and feel free to comment whatever you guys have found at your CVS and Target or other drugstores. Also, feel free to bring to my attention any great sales/clearance deals in the Central Florida area, especially the Kissimmee area :) it is truly appreciated!!!
Until my next post Boo's!!!! XOXOXOXO <3 <3 <3

Happy Holiday Favorites :)
What it do, Boo's?!?!?!?
So happy to say that it is December :) this is my favorite time of year!!
Not only is it Christmas time but this is the time of year that all the yummy limited edition, seasonal items are for sale in stores. I'm drooling just thinking about it, lol!!!!
First on my list is the Gingerbread Oreo's.
OMG these are AMAZING!!!!!! Thanks to my BFF, Jessica, for letting me try some because I couldn't find them anywhere. But thanks for the sample :) and because of that I fell in love with these things. Too bad they are only offered this time of year because I could eat these year round, lol!!!! I am telling you, especially if you're a huge Oreo fan you must try these. Perfect for the holiday season.
Another Holiday favorite is the Coffee-mate Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Creamer...as I said before I'm drooling just thinking about this stuff...LOL!!!! I am a huge fan of sweet stuff so please excuse this overload of sweetness. I am also a coffee lover so flavored creamers are a part of my mornings everyday. Once again this is a holiday favorite of mine and I'm sad that it is not offered all the time because it is so yummy!!!! SOOOOOOOOO YUMMMMMMYYYYY!!!! NO LIE!!! Stop by the grocery store and scoop some up before they're no longer available. You will be sorry if you don't.
So those are my top 2 holiday favorites and ones that I highly recommend you try before they are gone til next year, hopefully! So get up and get you some!!!!

Some of my favs/must haves!!!!
Happy Sunday y'all!!!!!! Hope everyone had a great ending of the week, a new week ahead and the closer we get to the end of November. Anywho, I got a nice surprise in the mail yesterday afternoon :) an of course it was from Birchbox. I had a placed an order earlier this week since they offered me a 20% off coupon code for it being my 3 month anniversary with them. Also on top of that I also got my first free $10 to spend since I got enough points after reviewing all the products I received in my boxes. The coupon was set to expire so I could wait to decide.
I already had an item in mind that I wanted to get since I got this sample in my October Birchbox. I fell in love with this item and about killed the sample so it was fitting to get the full size sample. It is a little pricey but sooooo worth it! What I am raving about is TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer :) it's $24 for the full size. It's a highlighter and can also be used as an eyeshadow. For those of you that love makeup this is a must have in your collection. I also love the packaging it's the cutest, yet all their items are. So if you have never heard or seen this product, take a look at your local cosmetics store and test it out for yourself, hopefully you will fall in love as I did.

Birchbox vs Ipsy...November 2012
So it's that time!!!!! I have received both of my beauty subscriptions for the month of
November so I can finally discuss them with you guys, yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!! :)
My Glambag now known as Ipsy arrived way before my Birchbox did, KUDOS!!!! But I will cut Birchbox some slack since Hurricane Sandy did hit where their warehouse is located. So lets get started.....
I am going to start with my Ipsy, formally known as My Glambag. This is my first month receiving this bag thanks to my amazing boyfriend :) <3 I have go to say, GREAT job Ipsy!!!! I was extremely happy with this bag and loved everything that received. I was also impressed to see that I had to full size items in my bag, absolutely a plus!!! I am definitely looking forward to my next months bag, and this was sooooo worth the $10. Keep up the good work :)
What I received in my Ipsy/My Glambag:
*Nailtini Nail Lacquer in the color Millionaire (full size item)
*theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow in Matt Batali
*bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil
*Starlet Cosmetics Intense Eyeliner in Black (full size item)
*benefit They're Real beyond Mascara
LOVED EVERYTHING!!!! Even the cute brown satin makeup bag, found really cute that the Ipsy logo was sewn inside :)
This is my yaaaaayyyyy my Birchbox is finally here face, lmfao!!! I am not going to lie the wait was agonizing, especially since a lot of my friends got theirs way before me.
I wasn't 100% impressed with my Birchbox as I was with my Ipsy bag. But there were a few items that got me a little excited. Was happy to see some full size items, for the first time. This is my 3rd Birchbox and no lie I have not received a full size item (excluding the hair tie).
What I received in my Birchbox:
*Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper
*J.R. Watkins Hand and Cuticle Salve
*ModelCo SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red (full size item)
*Sumita Contrast Eye Pencil in Ziba aka Lime Green (full size item)
Lifestyle Extra:
*Chuao Chocolatier
As I have said plenty of times, I am not excited when I see a food item. This is the 2nd time that Birchbox has sent a food item in my box. I signed up to receive beauty products and last time I checked, food is not a beauty product. Thank you!!!!
I was happy with a majority of the products that I received, wished that the eyeliner wasn't a lime green, I mean who really uses that color?!?!? Maybe for halloween.
So the winner this month for best beauty subscription is......
Ipsy/My Glambag!!!!
Looking forward to seeing what is in store next month for both of these subscriptions. I was contemplating on cancelling Birchbox, but this box made me give it another chance. So we will see what happens next month...until then XOXOXOXO!!!! <3

Walgreens Haul
I always tell myself I must save money but something always drags me to go browsing at stores, especially when I know I just can't browse!!!! I have no self control whatsoever!!! No bueno :(
Well, I found myself going to Walgreens for some last minute shopping, which had nothing to do with me to begin with. I just so happen to walk thru the beauty aisle and of course a few things caught my eye. I mean its makeup, it's kind of hard not to, lol!!!!
I came across a few things that were on sale and I can never pass that up, especially when they are at such a great price. I know I won't find them like that again so I just suck it up and get them, this is what happened at this visit.
Revlon is not a cheap brand but I love their eyeshadows, especially their cream ones. I found both the Skinlights & Eternal Summer Crème Shadow palettes which originally are $6.99 and they were on sale for $3.49. Score!!!! :)
I also was on the hunt for some mascara that helps thicken my already long eyelashes. I was especially looking for something to help with volume. I was lucky to come across some Wet n Wild mega volume mascara in very black. Originally $2.99 and was on sale for $1.59.
Last but not least, I decided to look at their holiday sets and was lucky to come across some eyeshadow pallets for $0.99. There were so many to choose from and they had so many amazing colors. It was hard to choose just one and knowing me I will be back for the others, lol!!! These were from Profusion and called Halo-the palette. I have already tried one of the colors and they come out amazing and nice and shimmery :) looking forward to trying out the other colors.
I'm not big on buying my beauty products at Walgreens because I have always thought they were more expensive then me going to Walmart or Target, well I have proved myself wrong! I'm definitely going to go there more often now :) and you should check it out too!!! It never hurts to just look.

Some of my yummy favs!!!
Sorry for the going MIA, as if I really have any followers anyways...but since my funds haven't been as hefty as usual, I had to cut off doing any shopping unless it was for necessities. Sucks I know, but hopefully my monthly beauty box/bag subscriptions will be here and I can post about them real soon!!! :)
I figured since I can't blog about amazing clearance and deals that I find, that I would let you guys know some of my yummy favs that I come across when going grocery shopping and stocking up my fridge and pantry. Some may be semi healthy and others might be completely not good at all for you, but I can't help but share how amazingly yummy this items are and push you to try them out for yourselves.
First I want to start off with Dole Shakers Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies. Man are things amazingly delicious. They come in 4 different flavor and are easier to make than having to deal with a blender to get that smoothie drink. All you have to do is add juice and shake for 45 seconds. They recommend to use with Orange Juice but I use any choice. I have mixed it with Dole's mixed juices, one being their Orange Banana Mango, and it makes it taste so great!!!! Easy for if you are on the go and need something to drink while on the run. A must try!!!!
One of my other favs is definitely not the healthiest but is sooooooo good!!!! Yes its that good! Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee ice cream. If you have ever tried creme brulee in your life you will love this as much as you love that! It has bits of caramelized sugar in a sweet custard ice cream, I am drooling as I describe it to you guys, LOL!!!! Ben & Jerry's ice cream never fails at making delicious flavors but this is my all time favorite, You do have to have a sweet tooth for this though because the caramelized sugar pieces do make it extremely sweet. But that's what I love about it :)
Last but not least, I wanted to end with something that is somewhat not fattening. I came across these from a friend of mine, I had heard of them through commercials but were afraid to try them thinking they would taste like nothing. Boy was I wrong!!!!! Belvita is known as a breakfast biscuit but I use it as a snack while I am working and it definitely holds me up til my next meal. To make it even better they are extremely tasty. I am very happy to have taken that leap to try them, they are worth it!
Hope you enjoyed some of my yummy favs :) and that you guys go out and try them out for yourselves. Feel free to leave me comments letting me know if you have tried them and what you think about them. Until my next blog, xoxoxoxo <3

Deals of the Day! :)
Hello fellow savers!!! :)
So, once again I had a little shopping binge and went to a few of my fav stores after work. Probably not the best of ideas but I am glad I did go because I found some fantastic deals! Yayyyyyy me!!!! I stopped at Ross and then to my fav store of all time, can you guess it?!?!??
TARGET of course!!!! Give yourself a pat on the back if you got that right!
My first stop was Ross, I love shopping at this store because they have some really great deals on name brand items. I love about 90% of the purses in that store in general :)
Well, if you took a look at my previous deal of the day I mentioned a dress that I found at Target. I also mentioned how I wanted to make into an outfit you can rock in the fall. So I put myself on a mission to find a few things to make this outfit happen.
The things that I would need or would like to find are:
1. Jean Jacket
2. Reddish Brown Scarf (same color as the belt on the dress)
3. Cute boots or flats (same color as belt on dress)
As you can see, I got super lucky at my stop at Ross :)
I found the cutest jean jacket, and even better it was on clearance or as they say reduced! Either way it was cheap! I love the word <3
So the originally cost of the jacket was $14.99 and I got it for $7.49, yeaher!!!!
That's what's up!!!!
One item down, two more to go!!!!
Of course, my next stop was Target :)
I was unsuccessful in finding the scarf that I wanted in Ross as well as the shoes. I did find some cute options but they weren't worth what they cost to me.
I was hoping and praying that I would find the scarf and shoes that I wanted at my #1 store of all time....FAIL!!!!! Sucked that I didn't but I am came across some other great stuff.
Didn't find the color I needed but found this cute polka-dotted scarf that is easy to add to any outfit that I have in my closet. Believe me I have a lot of black, lol!!!
Original cost $14.99, and I purchased it for $4.48.
I proceeded to look for shoes but once again the cute options they had were still a little much for my taste. I am also sure that they will be reduced more because that is what always happens when I shop there.
Me being the shopaholic that I am, I didn't stop there. I continued checking out my clearance racks and found this shirt. I know it is plain but its nice and flowy, which those are the shirts I love to wear <3 Even though it is very simple it is very easy to dress it up with accessories.
Original cost $9.99, purchased for $2.98 :) I am awesome!!!!!
The final deal of the day is once again some Yes To products. I'm officially obsessed with this brand! Thanks Kristin. I found the Yes To Cucumber shampoo and conditioner for $2.68/each and their original cost is $8.99/each. I also found another one of their lip glosses that I didn't have for $1.94 :) The original cost is $6.49.
So I had a very successful semi shopping day, and it shouldn't have had even happened, LOL!!!!!
But I am glad I went out and found these amazing deals! Still on the lookout for the scarf and shoes for the outfit I am trying to put together. Hopefully I am lucky enough to get them at amazing deals as with what I found today.
Until then....sweet shopping ya'll <3

Beauty Sampling <3
So about a month or so ago I have started receiving Birchbox, which is a $10/monthly subscription to receive beauty samples based on your profile. I got inspired by one of my friends, Kristin :) because she was posting pics of what she was receiving in hers, that I had to try it! They send 4-5 different products in your box. I have received 2 months so far and I'm still on the fence with Birchbox. For the past 2 months I have received either 1-2 items that I love but still don't find it worth the $10 a month for it.
Starting next month I will be receiving not only Birchbox but also Ipsy aka Glambag. I want to start writing a blog and comparing both of these beauty sampling subscriptions. Ipsy also is a $10/monthly subscription where you receive 4-5 beauty products in a cute makeup bag. I have looked on YouTube and also other social networks to see how people rated Ipsy. There is a mixed audience so I'm excited to see how I feel about it when I receive it. What I liked about Ipsy that got me so interested, is some of their beauty samples are full size samples. I think that's what sold me! Lol!! But I also liked that I didn't have to wait for an invite to join like I had to with Birchbox, guess I got lucky and Ipsy had open invitation right now :)
The only full sized items that I got from Birchbox was a decorated zip lock bag and a hair tie that I can't even use.
So I am excited to show you guys what I receive next month from these subscriptions and lets see who wins the beauty sampling battle! Birchbox is reaching their end and I'm still debating if I should cancel or not. As they say in The Hunger Games, "May the odds be ever in your favor". Lol!!!!

Deals of the Day!
Happy Sunday Funday Folks!!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the last day of the weekend before returning to work tomorrow, I know I am trying to. Of course, I did my favorite thing today....browsing at my fav store, Target :) LOL! It wouldn't be me if I didn't. So I decided I would start a deal of the day blog so I can excite you with what kind of deals I have found for the day or even for the week (guess that would be called, deals of the week, then...ha!).
While at Target today of course I made sure to hit all my clearance spots as usual. Usually, I begin with the clothes but lately I haven't found great enough deals to want to stop directly there. I was actually contemplating if I was going to even bother wasting my time and going there, but I am glad that I did. I have been seeing this dress in their clearance racks a few times that I had visited but the price was still a little high for me to persuade myself to get it. But today I guess was just my day, because not only was it one of the only two left, it was in my size! Yaaaaay for me!!! :) Not only do I love the dress, I love the color and the belt that it comes with. Some might find it summery but if you find a cute jacket or top to cover it with and some cute boots or closed toe shoes, it becomes perfect for fall easily.
As the above picture states, the original price of this dress was $24.99 and I got it for $7.48, I know what a great deal!!!!! I can't wait to wear it out that's how cute it looks on me...LOL!!!! And I am very picky when it comes to clothing especially dresses, but for the size that I am it fits me beautifully. As I said before, it is on clearance since fall is among us, but it is so easy and simple into making this into an outfit for fall, especially with these colors.
Hope you enjoyed my deal of the day and I am hoping that I will be able to bring you more amazing items at amazing prices, because you too can shop savvy! Xoxo <3

New Blog, New Topic! :)
Well hello there! I decided to create a new blog about the good deals that I find while out on my many shopping adventures :) I try to stay up to date and with the current trends and also with whats in with makeup, hair, or face products. I am one of those people that needs to shop on a budget and not able to purchase high end or even full price items at times. So where do you find me 90% of the time when I am shopping.......in the clearance areas. Yes! I am the biggest clearance queen you can meet, and I am proud of that!!!! When I go out shopping I love to take my time and browse at everything. How do you think that you will find awesome deals if you don't take your time and look at EVERYTHING! That's why I am big on shopping alone most of the time (well, with my munchkin of course!) With much patience comes reward :) well at least I think so. I have been very lucky to come across some amazing deals that I can never pass up. I get extremely excited when it is something I am looking for, can use eventually, or I hear is the latest items.
The two tops stores that I have found some amazing clearance/deals at would be, Target and Walmart. With my budget, you shouldn't be so surprised, LOL!!! Target would be my #1 go to store, I love them and seriously am OBSESSED!!!! I always attempt to stay away but something always brings me there. I am the type of person that will enter to get one item and leave with a whole cart full of stuff, it never fails. In the long run, I see it as a good thing because 95% of my cart will have items that are on clearance. That always makes my bank account very happy.
I am the biggest e.l.f. (eyes lips face) fan! This is one item that doesn't need to be on clearance for me to buy it. Its already affordable as it is. Sometimes I do find sets that are clearance but that is on a rare occasion. Lately, e.l.f. has been releasing new products and expanding their line, which I love to hear! Their items range in pricing but what I love the most about them is that their items begin at $1, yes you read correctly, $1!!!!! I have many of their items in my makeup bag as we speak, and their products are not cheap quality, which makes me even more in love with them. Affordable and amazing products make me very happy :))))))
I took a trip to Target to look at some moisturizer options, I did specifically want to check out the new Tinted Moisturizer by e.l.f. just to try it out and see if it is any good. Yes the price that you see in the pic is how much it cost, $3. After debating what I should do and if I should give it a try I did ending up getting it. I am a big fan of e.l.f. and I have faith that it will be amazing :) once I try it for the first time, I will definitely let you guys know what I think about it.
Well, as I said before, I went into Target for one item and ended up leaving with 5 other things as well. This is without browsing the entire store, so imagine if I stayed longer.....yea it wouldn't have been pretty!
Another product that has been introduced to me recently is Yes To! Yes To is a line of natural skin and hair care that actually works, is guilt-free, and is all about positivity! Their products are made with organic fruits and veggies and free of parabens, petroleum, SLS, and phthalates. Yes To is a global leader in natural beauty. The first time I have heard of Yes To was from my boyfriend, he loves their skin care products but has told me that they were a bit pricey, oh that word! The word PRICEY, keeps me far away from items, LOL!!!! So I never looked into it. But then one of my coworkers posted about the shampoo and conditioner that she purchased on clearance at target. Of course, she raved about how great this product was, so once again I became interested in learning more about it. Learning that it was organic made me interested in seeing what it was all about :) So as I was shopping at Target I walked down the aisle that the Yes To products are located, and what do I see.......my fav sticker EVER on their items, their orangy red clearance sticker....YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!! I was specifically interested in their lip items and it so happened that their lip glosses were on clearance.
Yep! You see it right! These lip glosses retail at $6.49 and I got them for $1.94 :) Yeaher!!!!! This made me super happy. Me being the compulsive shopper that I am, I bought all 4 lip glosses. Cocoa Loco, Playful Nude, Rose Bliss, and Carrot Kiss. I have been able to try one of these today (Playful Nude) and I am in love!!!!!! Not only was the color perfect but the feel of it was amazing too! I have the worst dry lips EVER!!!! It is very hard for me to find glosses and balms to help moisturize my lips and this one is one of the few. I would highly recommend this item to many! I was lucky enough to find them at such a great steal right when Yes To was brought back to my attention (thanks Kristin!). So check Yes To out! http://www.yestocarrots.com/index.html
These are the few products that I have found recently at such amazing prices and just had to try them out! I hope to have pushed you guys in the direction to not only search for amazing deals but to be brave enough to give them a try and be spontaneous. Take the time and be patient you never know what you can find when you take the time to look at everything. You will be amazed and also feel better knowing that you saved so much and got good quality products/items. Until next time, keep your eyes open and check out those clearance areas!!!! I swear you won't regret it!
XOXO <3
