THE BEST LOW PRICED MAKEUP

I am by no means, a makeup expert but this is some of the makeup that I have tried and I really like.  I am a Vlogger on Youtube, so I get the opportunity to ask some of my friends and viewers what they think and I have learned of some makeup brands that are very quality products.  These cosmetics can be bought for little money and they are very long lasting.




 



 
 
 






 
 

See, you can use different brands of Eye shadow and make a lot of different looks.
 

 
 

 

JEANS CAN BE CLASSY

THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF JEANS WITH A HINT OF SOPHISTICATION

I saw this display and I immediately fell in love with it.  This display shows how you can take your jean pieces and incorporate them with different fabrics to make it look more classy.  I love how the outfit on the left has brown pants and the gold jewelry to make this look like an outfit that you can go out to the movies or you could add some cute heels and go out for an evening out.  On some jobs this outfit could also qualify to be worn for business casual.

I have never been a fan of the Acid Wash Jeans, but I really like this Dress; I think it is fierce!

My favorite is the Down Coat and I just love the belt that was added to give the pop of color, and the streamlined fit of this Coat.

You can take some of your Jean pieces that you already own and create this same look and also add your own special touch to it.

I have seen some Acid Wash Jeans at the local thrift store and I will buy some to create different looks without burning a hole in my pocket.

IS SOCIAL MEDIA KEEPING YOU BROKE?

I decided to talk about this subject because on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram and etc.  I find that there are a lot of products being talked about and being shown.  I love to review products so I am guilty of this also, but I find that a lot of people are trying to purchase a lot of the products that are being shown or reviewed.

 We have always been enticed by products through Television Commercials but now Social Media have become another way for companies to sell products and some of us are not aware of the impact it has on our lives.

 There is nothing wrong with seeing products that you like and purchasing them, but, why are we purchasing them? I find that it is becoming an obsession with some people because they feel that if they do not have the latest Mac, Sephora, and etc.,  they are really missing out on something when the truth is some of these products are no better than some of the lower priced Cosmetics.

If you can afford these product there is nothing wrong with buying them, but, if you are taking money that you need for food, clothing and shelter , you may need to make a careful assessment whether you should perhaps pull away from Social Media to see if this will help curb your addiction and reliance on products.

Do we really need these products or are we just trying to fit in or convince ourselves that we are nothing without these things?  I am a saver by nature but I have at times purchased things that I really didn't need because I liked it on someone else. 




 



 
 
These items are beautifully packaged, but if you are impressed with packaging; how about we buy our own products and package them ourselves in beautiful majestic packaging and show our own creativity and perhaps even sell these products ourselves for a profit;  Just a thought.

SAVE A LIFE AND ALSO SAVE MONEY

 
INNOCENT
 
 
THOUGHTFUL
 
 
SWEET
 
BEAUTIFUL
 
 
There are times when our children ask us for a pet and then we assess whether they really are responsible enough to care for an animal.  The first thing we usually do is go to a pet shop to look for the perfect puppy or kitten but we fail to realize that our perfect pet could be waiting for us at a very special place and that is the local Animal Shelter.
 
  My Daughter found her new best friend at the Animal Shelter and she is very pleased with her.  She had to pay a registration fee and the Shelter provided her with a beautiful Cat with all her shots and now she is a wonderful addition to the family.
 
Every year Animals are put to sleep because there are people who think that they are getting a better pet by going to the pet shop or puppy mill.  This is incorrect and you can save an animals life and provide your family with a pet that can bring lots of happiness and joy to your life.

MY LAUNDRY DETERGENT REVIEW VIDEO'S



I am always in search of a good Laundry Detergent for a good price and as you will see in these video's; you can sometimes get an off brand Detergent and it will still effectively clean your clothes.  I use all kinds of brands including some name brands but you will see the ones that I like the most.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love all of these brands and they all work well but this Tandil is what I would call The Big Kahuna of them all.  This Laundry Detergent is very concentrated with a nice, clean smell and the price is indeed right.  You can get this Laundry Detergent at Aldi Supermarket

COATS FOR 2014

As the days get shorter; it is time to start searching online or the Mall for nice, fashionable winter Coats.  I am noticing that some of the stores are advertising some coats already in their magazines.  Here are some pictures of Coats that will be in fashion this winter.


 







As you can see, most of these Coats have very simple styling.

FREECYCLE.ORG


                                          FREECYCLE.ORG


Since this blog is about saving money, I wanted to provide you with a viable resource that will help you towards your goal of saving money.
I found out about this site a year ago and it is a great organization that helps keep the landfills from filling up with waste. 

Freecycle.org gives you the opportunity to post items that you need for you or your family and get them absolutely free.  If you are a student who needs new furniture, single parent who needs clothing for you or your children, need appliances, pots and pans or etc. Or a person who have experienced a fire or another disaster. All you have to do is go on their website and read through the post for your area and see what is available. 

Freecycle.org is available all over the World.

This service is for everyone and you may even want to post some items to help someone else. I have personally responded to a post to donate some items. 
Freecycle.org is very strict about people posting items and charging a fee when people come and pick up their items.

Also share this information with someone who could benefit from this type of service.
