White and Casual with just a bit of Lace.




I saw these cute outfits and I just had to stop and stare because the outfits are very simple, but, I love the color combinations with the Lace.

Lace is back in style and you can create this look from your thrifted items.  You can take items that you already own and take them to a tailor, so that they can apply the Lace.

You will save so much money and you will have the fashions that are in vogue, but, at a fraction of the cost.

Comfortable and Fashionable

 


I love these fashions because they are easy, breezy, and you can add a little jewelry and a nice pair of heel's and handbag and you are set.  I think this would look very nice on a young lady with nice legs and toned arms but it could also be worn by an older woman if she would wear longer shorts or capris and add a cute jacket if her arms are less than perfect.

THIS DRESS SAY'S IT ALL!


This Dress in the center just stands out because I love colorful clothing and I think this design can accentuate all figures. This is definitely a head turner!  I will put this on my July wish list.

Beauty Products And Things I Am Sick Of Rant And Tag.


I am a person who never do Tags, but, I thought this would be a fun one, so here it goes!

Beauty Products And Things I Am Sick Of Rant And Tag.
  1. I am so sick of walking past one of my favorite department stores and being told to head on over to that big makeup store in the mall because they have the best makeup in the world.  Total Lies!
  2. I am so sick of going into big name stores and being sprayed with perfume and almost catching an Asthma Attack.  I will remedy this situation by creating a T shirt that say's " No Spray Zone.  If You Spray, I Will Sue And I Will Be Your Future Boss".  That should shake them up a bit. lol
  3. I am so sick of seeing Lace Front Wigs being sold for hundreds of dollars and in two weeks it looks like a crazy cat got hold of it.
  4. I am so sick of companies promoting lip balm  that is supposed to be so great and when I get it home it is a stiff version of my Crisco Oil.
  5. I am sick of long nails that looks like it has Liberace and his Piano on it.
  6. I am so sick of buying named brand nail polish and it doesn't last.
  7. I am so sick of hearing Wigs being called, "Units."  It is a Wig for Christ Sakes.
  8. I am so sick of overpriced soda and candy being sold at concert venues.  Six Dollars for a Pepsi is ridiculous.
  9. I am so sick of Laundry Detergent being sold for $15.00 just because it is in a red bottle.
  10. I am so sick of Makeup Foundation not matching my skin and I end up buying another bottle to mix  with it.  "I Am Not A Chemist) lol
I hope you enjoyed my little Rant and Tag.

HAIR GREASE AND HAIR GROWTH

                               Do Hair Grease Or Pomades Really Grow Hair?


As a child I can remember sitting between my Mom's legs getting my scalp greased and it was such a soothing thing and it became sort of a ritual on Saturday nights in my home.  Mom was getting our hair ready the night before church services on Sunday.

The pomades had such a nice smell.  Mom used Dixie Peach, Ultra Sheen, Dax, and Royal Crown on our hair.  She took so much pride and care and our hair always looked nice.

I remember seeing advertisements stating that these miracle greases and pomades would grow your hair to long lengths and your hair would be thick and this would happen in a little time.

Mom started buying hair pomade called Hair Food and she used as stated and she realized her hair and ours were not flourishing like they promised.  Right then she came to the conclusion that "Grease Don't Grow Hair".

The hair care industry duped everyone and they made millions of dollars off people looking for a miracle and they are still doing it today. 

These companies are in my opinion (Snake Oil Salesmen). I no longer fall for their fake promises.

It is time for us all to stop letting the industry rob us of our hard earned money.  A lot of these products are very expensive and they feel good and smell good but they do not do what they promise.

The health of your hair starts with nutrition and proper tools to use on your hair.  Heat and brushes are terrible for our hair and it should be used sparingly.

There are a lot of books on this subject and a lot of information online that will show you how to care for your hair the right way.

One book I can suggest is: No Lye! By Tulani Kinard.  She gives very good advice on how to care for your hair.

MACY'S SALE DAY'S.

                                                    Sale Day's Are Here Again!


First I want to say, where are all my Jersey Girls at?  Well, if you raised your hand, I am going to give you some good information.

We all love Macy's and the quality of merchandise that they carry.  I went on a shopping excursion with my sister and we went to the strip mall at Essex Green in West Orange, NJ and when we approached Macy's, there was a sign saying (CLOSING).  I was a bit sad because this store has been a staple in this community for many years.

When we opened the door I could see a lot of merchandise with signs saying sale 40, 50 and some 60 percent off.  As I walked through the aisles I could see a lot of beautiful dresses, suits, tops, pants, handbags, jewelry and handbags and shoes and then I looked further and I saw name brand makeup on sale.

A lot of the dresses cost $30.00 with the sale price and they were very nice.  I purchased two shirts and my total was $15.00.

This sale is going to go on until July 31, 2015 because the store will be closing for a while and then, they will be re-opening in the fall with all clearance items.  This store is going to become a clearance center and that is good news.

All these items are final sale, so, you must try on everything before you buy it.

This store is located at: 495 Prospect Avenue West Orange, NJ  (Essex Green Shopping Center)

Happy Shopping!
