I had this idea for while (even before I saw Atlantis Home’s version – loves it!) before I actually did anything about it.  My husband had gotten a package & I couldn’t bear to throw away all the sheets of packing paper they included around the item.  They’ve been in a large bag just waiting for [...]

I took those pants back to Walmart  – remember, the ones I was really hoping would be perfect for the work/gym segue?   Anyway, I tried on the bigger size & they gave me this funny anti-camel toe like bulge.  Too weird – could not wear in public.  Soooo, I found these other pants instead that actually [...]

Last weekend I hit my favorite Goodwill & found a few treasures.  I also ran into a my friend Wendy & we got to chat a bit.  Here’s the goods:

Michael Kors top, $3.49.  I’ve already worn it & really like it!  It’s comfy but still dressy enough for a client meeting.  And I LOVE that [...]

So, I got another bad haircut.  When will I learn?  No. More. Great. Clips.  And I completely dropped the ball & don’t think I even deserve to complain since I didn’t bring a photo of what I wanted.  My friend Jo asked if I brought a photo & I totally did a palm to the [...]

I had a great Valentine’s weekend! 
I spent a nice night out on Friday for my friend Chrissy’s birthday dinner with a bunch of friends.  It’s pretty hard for me to drag myself out on a Friday night but I’m glad I did since I really enjoyed myself.
Saturday I went to the library & shopped at Walmart & Goodwill, then came [...]

I was so excited to come home to these in my mailbox yesterday!  It was like Christmas!

Obviously, you can tell I’m a magazine junkie!  I will really be sad when they all eventually go out of print.  We know it’s coming, right?  Elle Decor and Town & Country are freebie subscriptions & I won’t be renewing [...]

I shopped at Walmart the same day I did Target.  I went to pick up a prescription & get groceries but I always get sucked into all the other sections!
I found these pants which will work great for work & the gym.  Luckily, my work has a pretty loose dress code!  Anyway, I’m exchanging them [...]

The makeup I used to create the eye:

Loreal Double Extend mascara, Revlon powder, Loreal Bare Naturale concealer powder, Cover Girl cover-up sticks, Avon black eyeliner, Revlon Brow Fantasy pencil/gel, HIP [...]

Despite being put on salary at work & being terrified at having a “fixed” income (I won’t be able to look forward to those higher hour “good” paychecks!) I was still freaking shopping this past weekend!
I know, it’s a damn addiction.  I know for a fact once I’m in the habit of spending more it [...]

Workout pants – check! ($6 & $18)

Tops to dress them up – check & check! ($9 & $9)

But I also found…

Super cute Converse dress [...]
