For the parents- Thrift shopping for kids

I normally show my fashion and beauty shops but this one is for the parents to really see what they can find at a thrift store for their kids. I have a 3 1/2 year old son and since his birth I have noticed how the bigger he becomes the more expensive his clothing is. If you agree with me I am never happy about paying over $20 for a pair of children's pants that he will grow out of in sometimes a month. I pay $20 for my own jeans but I'm not growing anymore so I can keep those same jeans for years.. I thrift shop more for my son than I do for myself simply because he grows so fast and I'd be throwing away money. So parents your kids do not have to have all those expensive clothes well you can find them easily at a thrift for sometimes just $1.95 : ) I got some of these clothes for my son my last visit to my local Goodwill. Each item is $1.95 and jeans are $2.95.

 This very nice button up shirt I found at the goodwill in 4th from the Gap. Not one stain and it was like it was never worn, no fading or anything very great condition.

 These two shirts came from Children's Place that I found at the Goodwill. both in 4t and in great condition. Just like being it brand new. I like Children's Place but their prices are becoming outrageous.

This is a yellow and baby blue striped button up shirt from Kennith Cole Reaction in 4t. I was on a role with finding like new shirts for my son at the Goodwill. Very pleased with the items and again I saved a lot of money from if I were to buy these brand new. The first shirt I would have been over $20.. So in tough times it's okay to shop thrift for your children especially when they are younger they grow so fast why pay for for high prices when they will probably ware them for a month.

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 : )

HAPPY NEW YEAR Bring in 2012

I hope everyone had a fun and safe new year. I had to wait a couple days and catch up after my hardcore new years celebrations and recouporating   : ) as a whole I had a great time with my lady friends and I hope to do it again for my up coming birthday in Feb.

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
Bracelet came from Girle Boutique very cute and I want to say it was $5.

I hope your 2012 is going very well and all your resolutions are under way : ) I know mine is and I will not break it. I usually never do. It's all about self control and which Americans do have a hard time controlling lol have fun and keep fashion alive : )

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.
