Goodwill fun thrift shopping

Shopping at the Goodwill is fun when you find some great things at a fantastic price. I usually do not go very often but my son and I were chilling out today and we went to a couple places this afternoon. I did not go crazy but just wanted to share some things that I did find that I was happy that I got.
I decided to go through the tower of cd's. Usually it's oldies, or music I've never heard of or interested in getting to know.

So I got this Avril Lavigne cd, in pretty good condition I was surprised because even my own cds dont look this great lol. But I've always been an Avril fan. I have her first cd and I havent bought a cd in some time.... thanks ipod and iphone but I'm happy with this one.

Taking it back to the old days lol okay the 90's Space Jam was a great movie when I was younger and one of my favorite soundtracks. Michael Jordan plays basketball with Looney Tunes. Good shap I didnt see one scratch and not to mention this is the soundtrack where R. Kelly's I believe I can fly was a huge hit and I can say still is : )

Katy Perry's cd was even at the Goodwill. I already have it but I bought it for my mom. She's a fan like me and when we are in my car I always play it so now she can listen in her car and add it to her ipod. I never expect to find newer cd's at Goodwill so I had to get this and I will probably start looking a little more in the cd section and again it's in very good condition.

Simple and white : ) Well I need more white shirts for my job and since I was there I just went and looked for one. This is a simple Liz Claiborne polo. It's clean and bright... Just simple work shirt for me.

Now this is probably the best find of the day. Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. This was glass cased two disk set it was $4.95 but weekly they have colors that are half price. This had a green sticker on it and this is green week so I pretty much got this for $2 : ) very happy camper here : )

I am very happy with what I found at the Goodwill today, I usually never find anything I'm very excited about so I may start going through the cds a little closer. I do not go through the clothes as much because they just have so many and I don't like being at one place for hours at a time so maybe one day I'll find something : )

Happy Thrift shopping

JustFab.com haul/review

So I finally got my items from justfab.com owned by Kimora Lee-Simmons the mother of fashion : ) Love her to death but lets talk about what I got and how I felt. Now JustFab.com is a monthly subscription pretty much to get a personal stylist to send you an online boutique of shoes, purses and jewelry. All items are $39.95 and free shipping with easy returns. Sounds amazing right. Well they say there is no monthly membership but.... there really is. From there website explaining their "credits" 
"....then you will be charged the JustFab membership fee of $39.95." Now I talked to customer service and they said to me there is no membership fee and I showed them this that is right on there website and they changed the subject... funny but if you do not skip the month or buy at least one item the the 5th of that month they will charge your account the $39.95 and credit it so that you pretty much have to buy something they will not return the money to you... I was not so happy about that because I kept forgetting to skip it was fun until I kept forgetting.. so keep that in mind if you want to sign up for JustFab.

Now you know about it lets get to the haul and review.

Lovely personal boxes great packaging. Shipping was very fast and got to me in a week. It shipped the same day that I ordered so that was very nice of them.

Fantastic : ) even more personal packaging. The draw string bag can definately be used for everyday use or going to the gym for your town and/or water bottle. Loves it.... Now the reveals. So far so good.

Very nicely wrapped the necklace in paper thank you very much. I could also use this box to hold some of my own accessories or makeup. It's a sleek touch. The jewelry.... I'm not too happy about. Love the colors purple and pink I tried something different I do not normally like gold so I tried to see it and I just dont see these colors and gold going together well with me. I tried it and well... I tried it. The quality of the items I was very disappointed with. The feel of the items just do not feel worth $39.95. It's pretty but it just feels like plastic to me I accepted a little bit better quality and the earrings are just so plain jane. I have bought shoes from them before and have always been happy but I do not think I will be going the jewelry way again.

Who got an animal print purse?? Well I did of course and it's purple lol Love the color and love love love the print... Did I say I loved the print and color? Well it's a small bag I would use as a clutch when I go out, I don't have to carry a lot. It does have a strap but I think small purses look funny with a long shoulder strap so I'll probably never use it. But off the bat.... again not happy with the quality. When I first opened it the zipper on the back was already messed up. The zipper foot what have you was in the middle but to the left and right of the zipper was open.... yeah that's not how a zipper works. I sew and design clothes so I know that zipper will not last long.. The inside pocket zipper.... a notch of the zipper is already bent... so again zipper wont last long. That knocked me down just a tad. Will I get another purse from them, maybe not sure yet, is this one worth $39.95 I'm really on the fence with this one. Although the inside is cute too : )

So time for the big bang!! The one item I was personally shopping for to begin with and the only item I expected to leave with.

JUST FABULOUS neon pink platform 6 1/2" high heels!! The love of my life!! yes I love them. Best item always pleased with their shoes!! Need I say more I mean just look at them! The bottoms I will be getting some slick proof pads to prevent from falling they are very slick even on carpet and we do not need that disaster. So they are so worth $39.95. If anything go to Justfab.com and check out their shoes I usually always love them. Although every month I seem to tell them to give me a new selection because they never understand that I do not like peep toes... I mean with a passion... It's like they do not get it. I dont like peep toes but next month watch all my shoes will be peep toes... lol but check them out let me know what you think and if you have shopped there what did you get??

JustFab.com everything is $39.95

I wanted to talk a little bit about this website called JustFAb. It's a fashion site where you get "personalized" people to pick out shoes, purses and jewelry for you monthly. The items picked are determined by your style, you sign up and answer some questions here and there. All items are $39.95 free shipping... wow right I have purchased a par of shoes from them a couple months ago. They came pretty quick and came with a cute black draw string bag. Now if you get some shoes in you boutique you absolutely do not like you can either skip the month or ask for a new selection. Be sure to rate the items in your boutique as well so they know what to get for you the next month. Here is the catch, if you do not buy anything for that month your account will be credited the $39.95 for future use. Now I called and talked to customer support and they straight up said there is no member ship fee... but right in the righting of clicking on the credit it say if you do not buy or skip the month by the 5th of that month you will be charged a membership fee that will be used as a credit for you to use later at anytime... so if you do not want to get money taken from you and they will not give it back to you be sure to skip the month. Well I have 5 credits lol and I got some items coming in. After I use them I will be canceling because I just keep forgetting to skip the month and $39.95 starts to add up... I will do a review/haul of those items. I have shoes, a purse and jewelry coming in and they were all $39.95 all free shipping.

The website is a good idea but i HIGHLY do not agree with them taking $39.95 our of your account if you forget to skip the month I'm sorry that just is not right and they refuse to give you your money back and make you buy something.. so I say sign up at your own risk, i'm on the fence.. they have cute things but their business.... I am not happy with so when Items come in look out for a review and haul it should be in about 6-10 days for shipment.

BeachBody Lets get fit!!

Beauty is skin deep right... well of course, you are what you eat... CORRECT.
I am a busy bee and I am also a BeachBody coach and I stand by their products and workouts. I started TurboJam from BeachBody's many work outs and I love it. It's dancing, it's core, it's cardio, it's toning it EVERYTHING. I lost my desired 20lbs from Feb - May roughly. This was no biggest loser. That time frame was lost the healthy way. I counted calories with my fitness pal app which is alot easier than I thought. Did my turbo jam workouts alternating abs cardio and hula hooping... yes hula hooping for 30min a day : ) and I lost weight a healthy way not working out 24 hours a day (exaggerating) or cutting out carbs or drinking liquids for 7 days. I just worked out more than what I put in my mouth.. yeah it's that simple : )

But anywho I wanted to inform people about BeachBody's shakeology it is a meal suppliment but not like any other. It comes with recipes on how you can mix it in to just about any of your favorite fruits and even COFFEE! I tried it and it was like a healthy latte I love it. I drank a shakeology and I felt like I had eaten an entire meal and I was full for breakfast and then around lunch I probably just had a small snack and did not over do it how I normally would when lunch came around because I felt like I was dieing of hunger lol

Shakeology give you energy, makes you feel full, has fiber, NO CAFFEINE, it helps your muscles so when you have those long workouts it's actually helping feed them and keeps them healthy, can help keep you regular ; ) it has vitamins in it that help your body naturally curve hunger and get this, it can help lower you chances for heart attacks, high blood pressure and strokes!!! I could go on and on but just check it out for yourself. http://www.myshakeology.com/kreese217

Let me know what you think and some workouts I love from BeachBody are Turbo Jam, Insanity, Hip Hop abs and Yoga Booty Ballet.. check out where you can sign up and order some of the workouts http://www.beachbodycoach.com/kreese217

2012 lets get fit and healthy

Thrift store haul local Salvation Army

I normally find myself at the Goodwill here in Jacksonville, but I was in the area and decided to try out some thrift shopping at our local Salvation Army. Both places have great programs to help those less fortunate so I encourage any and everyone to shop at both locations in their area because all of their money does go to great causes and I have proof of that so if you want some just ask : )

Any who I did some shopping at my local Salvation Army and it is a decent size store for my town and the location. I did find some nice clothing items some not so great. I will be honest... I could have been better impressed but it's a thrift store I'm not going to be picky. There were some name brand tops I had seen Abercrombie, Hollister etc and prices were great some $2 tops and $4 jeans so very happy shopping for those who love thrifting. I did not go crazy and actually only picked up three items.

Okay this top is super cute, fits perfectly and it just beautiful on me. it is all pink with white polka dots and the bottom is trimmed with pink lace to match the fabric on the entire shirt and the upper back of the shirt is cut out with crossed fabric. Not showing too much skin but showing some off. The top came from Vanity, in Springfield about 30-40 min from Jacksonville. White Oaks mall has a Vanity store and they are pretty nice priced store but I have noticed the quality is not the greatest so I personally do not shop there too often.

This shirt I really just got for work. I have to wear a white top at one of my jobs and I was never a huge fan of white because I always got it dirty so I am on the urge of buying white tops right now. This top is from Duck Head Jeans Co. I have seen a lot of Duck Head at the Goodwill so I am semi familiar with this brand.

For the reader in all of us I bought this book Blind Eye by John Morgan Wilson. My friend John will be very proud of me : ) ( Not the author a different John) I am a pretty big book reader when I sit down and read. Once I start I cant stop. I can read multiple books in a month back to back. So I read the back of the book and it sounded very interesting. Benjamin Justice is a journalist trying to figure out his life from his past and how he wants it to go for the present while trying to piece his life together he has to work on a case with a friends wife getting murdered. It sounds exciting : )

 So I hope that gave you your thrift store haul fix a good viewing. I may try and stop in the Salvation Army a little bit more often. I honestly forget we have one because I'm not normally in that area much and find myself at the Goodwill ten times more. So I will check in there a little more and see what other finds I can come across. Happy Thrifting.

HELLO YELLOW Bath & Body Works semi annual sale

Yes it is here!! the big Semi Annual sale at Bath and Body works that I absolutely love. So I decided to just blog about what I got instead of just making a youtube video... I hate showing more love one way lol  so here we ware. Bath and Body works you can find items for $5 50-75% off! Now come on if you wont get off your butt to get that deal then.... Im so very sorry lol
First off I will show what wallflowers I got. I got my first wallflower a couple of weeks ago and I got Japanese Cherry Blossom in the two pack and I love it. The scent stay constant, it does not get hot and you dont have to turn it on and off. So I went and got....

 I love this scent. to me it's a very warming smell. Something that I love for winter, it's not too sweet and not overpowered with the fireside.

The aromatherapy wallflower for sleep I say works. I was so relaxed and calmed the second the scent started filling the room and I slept really well that night. I use this about every other night.. when I remember to change the wallflower.

There are daily deals... well daily lol and one day there were $5 fragrance mists. I just needed to restock on my sensual amber and this scent is by far my top favorite. It's not strong but it is a sensual smell :) hence the name. I would recommend the small for one one going on a hot date, with that special someone ages 23-35 that's just my opinion.

Everyone likes to keep their hands clean so i recommend carrying a pocket bac on you purse. You can buy the cute holders for them. I someones have them hanging on each purse and even hang one on my belt buckle when I go to work so i can clean my hands when needed. The scent I got is just out for the Hello Yellow sale and I normally dont like anything plum/grape but I love this one. I also have sprinkle vanilla cookie scent and chocolate chunk.

Hip hop plum. I love it. You can get pocket bacs in scents that say your personality and this definitely states mine. I do love it. This one was 50 cents : ) you can get 5 for $5 and a select few for 75 scents. they are normally $1.50 just to keep that in mind. I've had a lot more shopping at BBW and you can see all of that at my youtube channel of my haul of other fantastic items that I got.
Don't forget to shop there right now and you can get a coupon to get 20% off your next purchase and dont forget to sign up your email for even more greater deals!!!

So go get your shop on : ) all quantities are limited as well as daily deals change.... daily what is on sale today will not be tomorrow it will be something else. keep that in mind : )

Anywho... I wanted to share some awesome new years eve haul of shopping and my outfit for the night.  I did not do too much shopping bc I have a shopping problem lol I will admit and if I added one more outfit to decided from for what to wear that night all of my friends would have just left me home and said figure it out before 2012 then come meet us lol

2012 outfit... no i did not do the traditional lets wear glitter here and oh in my hair, wait lets even had glitter to my underwear.... yeah im not a big follower  : ) I had some bling don't get me wrong but I was out to please no one and just have a great time.  I ended up wearing my flats most of the night after running around and dancing and gambling on the casino boat lol I kept them in my tote just in case. But here they are.

I bought them from JcPenny they were on sale for $20 great glitter heels that are good not just for New Years but for any night out with the girls. They are actually pretty comfy which if you know me... I think every pair of heels are comfortable lol

Pure Silk Shave Cream

Pure Silk Shave Cream

I just wanted to talk a little bit about pure Silk Shave Cream. I was going through some reviews on Influenster.com and what influenster is it's a free site you can sign up for and each month you try and earn a vox box that is filled with sample to full size items of beauty, fashion, technology etc items. It all depends on what badges you unlock. Well I was just going across some of the items that have been in 2011 vox boxes and I came across the Pure silk shave cream and I just wanted to add and let people know that this was my very first shave cream that I have ever used and I still love it. I have eczema and the shave cream always leaves my legs feeling smooth and soft, I never find myself shaving as often when I use Pure Silk products. I even us it on my underarms and it always works just as well because no one like under arm hair. But I would recommend their products to my best friend, followers etc. Try it out and let me know what you think.
