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.

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.
