A few cheap finds

Good Morning!!!! How are y'all this morning??  I am pretty good.  Just listening to music this morning.  Sometimes with my bipolar and stuff, I get into these moods were I don't wanna be messed with.  Withdraw from others sometimes.  I am not in the completely isolated mood as of right now, but, no kids are up and its quiet.  Sitting at the table, listening, reading, writing, always a good therapy!!

First off......CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

Anyhow, I got a couple of things this past week that I thought were total steals and I was gonna share with y'all!

First thing I got at Walmart.  Let me first say this about Walmart......my personal opinion!!  OK??  I remember when I used to get picked on growing up if I wore anything Walmart, but you know what??!!  Walmart is ridiculously priced! I mean, their no name shoes are almost as much as a pair of Nike's at the mall!!  Same goes with their clothes nowadays.  I'd much rather spend a little more for something that is made to last a little longer then Walmart things!

BUT, If you're into statement pieces for your outfit.......Walmart carries them for like 10 bucks!!  Some of these pieces are super adorable!!  I found this piece on clearance for only 3.00!! Which, is a STEAL!!!!!  Look how adorable this is!

So cute!!!!  Right!??  They had others too but, this one matched my outfit perfectly for date night!!  

The next thing I found were these adorable sunglasses!!  OK, who watches "party down south"?  I admit it!!! I do!! Of course I'm not feeling the cast of the 2nd one as much as the originals. BUT there is a cast member named raven, aka Barbie and she always has on these adorbs sunglasses!!!!

 



I swear she has these in every color!!!  And I am not gonna lie, I used to not like her at all.....shhhhhhhh!!  But, she has grown to be one of my faves!!!! lol ANYHOOO

How stinking cute!!! And they were only $2.00!!! SCORE! winner winner chicken dinner!!!!!!

yes, I am in my pj's, no.....it doesn't matter cause it doesn't concern u!!! ha-ha!!! really cute glasses for only 2 bucks though!!  

So, I just wanted to share that with y'all!! I'm frfr about checking out those statement pieces from Walmart!!  They are totally worth the money!!  And the glasses, sorry y'all, they came from a local place here in my town!!

Let me get back to my music and start checking my beautiful social media! lol

Love y'all!! Until next time!!! BBBBYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Ps, enjoy your #SundayFunday

Muahs!

#SubscriptionBoxSaturday BB5 Feb 2015

Good Morning Beauties!!!  Guess what!!??  I got a #SubscriptionboxSaturday for ya!!!  what a plus to go out and check the mail today and have my #BeautyBox5 waiting for me!!???

My grandson was super excited about the "snakes" this month!!! (that's what he calls the little paper strip thingies lol)  They were a cute color combo of a pink and a teal color!!  Way more festive then the usual black!

"When it comes to our year, February might just take the cake- literally.  This month were turning 3- yippee!- and we couldn't have done it without you, dear subscriber.  So, how to celebrate our birthday?  Marvelous makeup and superb skincare, of course!  Were so happy you joined the party~ now, throw some confetti and dig in!"

To go get yours......just click here!

The first thing this month, which is a full size: Marsk Mineral eyeshadow in vanilla frosting

Retail: $22.50 0.04oz

















We couldn't ship actual birthday cake, but how about some frosting?  Treat yourself to this iridescent mineral eye shadow! BB5 Tip: With subtle sparkle. it can also double as a soft highlighter #marsk

My thought??  I can always use a good highlighter.  Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get it open for a decent swatch!!  I am so sorry!! As soon as I get into it, Ill update and add a picture!!  I honestly don't think I would pay 23.00 for this tiny little pod thingie though,,,,,,,,

next: Revlon Colorstay nail enamel | Retail: 3.99 0.4 fl oz

This was also a full size product!!!
Stand out at any soiree and balance the confetti with a bold nail!  These supersaturated hues have our hearts when it comes to a one-coat coverage and longlasting wear.  I got the color velvet rope

I don't mind this at all! I love anything nail related!!  I haven't tested this color yet but will real soon!!  I am really happy with this!!

3rd thing is Absolute New York Absolute Love Lip Balm | Retail $5.00 0.42 oz

 






There's so many reasons to cheer for this party ready balm!  Major moisture?? Check!  Sweet scent??  Check!!  A tiny amount of tint??  Check!!  Cute in your clutch??  check!!  #absoluteny

Once again y'all!!!  This is also a full size!!!!! What what??!!  I got this in bubble gum.  I have to say, this smells just like it!!!!  The description says it has a hint of color.........

I don't know if I really agree with that!!  Maybe just bad lighting on my swatch??

now lets do my....

least favorite thing......

GlamGlow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment | Retail: $69.00 1.7 oz

After a long celebration, your skin needs some TLC!  Apply this anti-aging mask for 10 mins (it tingles while its working!)  then rinse off in  circular motions- it doubles as an exfoliant!  #glamglow

Ok, first off.......FOIL PACK!!!!  I HATE these things!!!  And not only that, how am I gonna know if I like something after using it only one time???   uhhhhhhh, No! Im good!! thanks anyways!!!

wanna know my fave????

Avon Big Color Eye Pencil | retail $3.49 0.056 oz

Spend less time getting ready and more time gertting down with these pretties- just glide and go! BB5 Tip: For color that lasts all night, layer over a powder or primer!!! #avon

I am not an avon girl!!! But, I have to say I got some avon lotion for Christmas and now I have 3!!  I am super excited to try this!!  This was also another full size item!!! I got the color, well, shoot!!  I cant find the name!!  But, it looks like it will be a great inner corner and brow bone highlighter!!!

We also got a BB5 Bonus

$20.00 Gift card for #yourminerals

All in all I am pretty happy with this months box!!  I mean, 4 outta 5 items were full size this month!!  I cant wait to try some of it out and maybe review it for y'all!!!!  Now its time to get back to my sweet hearts!! I hope y'all have a perfect Valentines Day!!!!

From me to you!!!!!!

Muahs!!

Manic Monday!!!!! anything goes!!

Hey Y'all!! I know, I know, once again........looooooonnnnggggg time!!! NO MORE!! I really swear. lol  How have my lovely beauties been??  I pray y'all have been doing just fine!!! 

So, #manicmonday!!!!??  Y'all know that means I am free to right about anything and in any order that I want!! This is my day to release anything that may be on my mind at any given time hahahaha!!

First thing first.......

                                                                       RIP Punk!!!!!

Punk was my kids paw paw on their dads side.  My ex-husbands dad.  This man right here.......y'all!!  I love this man like he is my own dad!!  I went through so much with this family but this man right here NEVER once judged me or treated me any differently no matter what me and his son were going through!!  He loved everybody and was a typical southern preacher.  He knew what our purpose in life was and his goal was to save anyone or anything he ever came into contact with!!  I have shared his birthday with him for the last 20 years and I am honestly gonna hate not being able to call him and cut up with him and tell him happy birthday anymore, which breaks my heart.  I do know he is home with our Heavenly Father and I know he is gonna be missed by so many!  I just hope my kids know that they have a lot of their paw paws ways and he will continue to live on....through them!

Next, I finally got me a new laptop so I can continue my blog!!  It is the cutest little thing ever!!  I am glad I found this.  I have been looking, trying to find a laptop that I like for a decent price.  I really hate making such large purchases!  Many of the little laptops I have found like the chromebooks and netbooks, have NO memory!! And I am a picture taker!! I need memory!!  lol  I found the HP stream notebook. 
The price? 210.00 after taxes
The memory? 2gb

The memory scares me but, it does come with 1gb with the cloud!!  It also has a place for jump drives and a SD card.  I pray memory will not be too big of a problem!  I also have my ICloud synced with the laptop, so, that's more memory right there!!  It has a webcam.......its really LOUD!! AND super cute!!!  So far I am delightfully surprised!

 

 

My final topic tonight is family, mainly siblings!  Y'all know I have already told u about my grandsons "sperm donor" and how he acted towards his son not to long back, right? Well, we ran into his other babies mommas tonight at Walmart!  These girls were the sweetest and guess what??  Just like Karsyn, these kids do not know their "sperm donor" either!!!!  We did decided to set up a play date because just because their dad isn't around, doesn't mean they don't have anyone.  I mean, in the long run, they will know each either and they will be able to help each other when needed!!  It really bothers me though because not one of these kids asked to be here and I don't think it is right that they have to suffer!!  so.......ladies with kids and your baby daddy has other kids by other women, please! Put your differences aside and let these kids know their siblings!! Cause y'all know what??  I know I am getting old and when I die.....guess who my kids will have???? each other!!!  And after seeing punks family this week at the funeral, I see how important siblings are and how one day, that's gonna be all we have. 



 

 

well, I hope my rambling didnt bother u too bad lol!! Tomorrow?? #terrifictuesday

 

muahs!!!!

 



I know, I'm so so sorry!

Hey y'all!! I just wanted to say sorry for being a little MIA.  I'm finally getting a little order to the house from Christmas!!  So,  how have y'all been?

So..... It's #terrificTuesday!  I gotta tell you about this terrific deal I found.  So,  for my readers.... Y'all know right after thanksgiving (or right before) someone stole my purse.  So,  for Christmas my parents got me an adorable UGA purse for Christmas that I just adore!

Cute,  right?  Well, as with anything I get,  my grandson got a hold of it and the strap broke!!  Anyhow,  I was in our local roses store the other day and saw this adorable bag!

How cute!?  And huge too!  Anyhow,  a purse this cute and this size was gonna be at least 20.00 NOPE!  7.00! So.... I Had to have it!

And then today I found these cute glasses that so go with my purse perfectly.

Oh,  and notice my pj bottoms??  I so did my Mani to match it!

Anyhow,  any good deals lately??  Share your recent Mani! 

Muahs!

Fabreze luminaire with scented shade

Hey y'all!! Just a quick little product review!!

I LOVE❤ fabreze!! Really! And some of their things are really cute!! I've been wanting one of their luminaires for a min now but just didn't like the price tag!
Today i took my daughter up to our local dollar General. While picking up dish soap, i saw these wild berry ones on sale for 5.00!! I just had to have one!!

After l got home and opened it....i was pleasantly surprised!! It had a very strong scent!! Which is just great!! It smells like something from bath and body works but can't put my finger on what though! If i figure it out I'll let yall know!
Once i put it my room, i was in love with it!  End of story!! My room smelt AMAZING! And i absolutely love candles but, can't use em due to my grandson....Lol this is the perfect alternative!!

Anyhow, was looking online(cause i have to have a few more!) I found one on eBay(used) for like 14.75 plus shipping!!! Um. NO!

This really had me scratching my head!! So, i looked at Wal-Mart and theirs was 9.97!??

I have decided i am going back to dollar General tomorrow to get me some more!! If y'all have a dollar General,  it's will worth it to see if they have them!! For 5.00, its a steal!

You know what, i think I'd even pay the 10.00 for it!! Look how adorable it is!

Muahs!
