I know that I have been missing in action, you all, but here I am.

I took a break from thrift shopping for a while to truly wear most of the things that I have purchased over the years.  Been seeing a lot of thrift hauls and they really inspire me to see what is available all over the country.

It is amazing to see the great buys and the beautiful clothes that you all have scored. These videos feed my thrift shopping addiction.











Some Goodies From The Dollar Store

Some Goodies From The Dollar Store.

The Dollar store carries a lot of great products. Below you will see the review of some of these products that I purchased.

These products can surely save you a bundle of your household budget and I love to see what I am going to score with every visit.

U Hair Styling Gel

I purchased this hair gel from my local dollar store and it says that it has a stronghold but it doesn't hold very well but I use it on my natural hair after I wash and condition it and it keeps my hair in place.

I love it because you get a good amount of gel for a dollar and it smells like strawberry jello.


Lusti Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion

This was my first time trying this hair moisturizer and it made my hair soft, manageable, and very easy to comb.  I purchased this product from Dollar Tree and it made my hair less dry without feeling greasy.

This moisturizing lotion comes in an 8 fl oz bottle.

Salon Selectives Argan Oil Hair Treatment.

This hair treatment is one of my favorites.  When I first saw this product at Dollar Tree I thought the jar was too small because it is only 5 oz but let me tell you, this product is very rich and you only have to use a little bit and it really conditions your hair really well and it smells so good.

This is a top of the line product that is only a dollar from Dollar Tree and if you see it, you should grab three jars or more.


Don't be afraid to buy hair products from your dollar store because if you buy it and you don't like it, it is only one dollar so you haven't wasted much money.

Sporty Clothes Can Be For Both Men And Women.


I saw these outfits in my local store and I just love these outfits for men and women.  I can remember the days when women loved to wear these kinds of suits many years ago and it was a breath of fresh air.

The nineties and early 2000's are back in fashion and I am seeing a lot of outfits that I used to wear are back with a vengeance.

So glad that a lot of the cookie cutter fashions are out the door!

Gorilla Snot Gel Review.

Gorilla Snot Gel Review.


Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen so many reviews on the Gorilla Snot Gel and I didn't like the name of the product at all but saw that a lot of you liked this gel and had good things to say about the way it made your hair look and the way it holds.

This was my first time buying this particular brand and when I opened the cap I was actually glad that it was a blue colored gel, not the gel that comes out of your nose. lol. 

I smelled the gel and it had a very strong minty smell and it had the exact smell of toothpaste.  I didn't care for the fragrance at all.


It was a nice size container so what the heck, I was going to try it out and see what this gel was about.

I squeezed some out and rubbed my hands together before I put it on my hair and it was very sticky, I said: " this is not going to well." Don't like products that are overly sticky.

Put it on my hair and my hair didn't feel good but when I looked in the mirror this product worked just like the reviewers said all curls were defined and it held very well.

It made my hair look so pretty but I did see a little build up in the front of my head.  Maybe I should have dampened my hair a little before I applied it.


There were some things that I didn't like about this gel as previously stated but I am going to continue to use the rest of the Gorilla Snot Gel because I do like the way my hair looks and it only cost $2.99 and you are getting 340 grams and I think that is a lot of product for that price.

It made my hair feel hard to the touch once it dried.

I think that they should keep the gel blue but make the gel with no fragrance because it felt like I was putting toothpaste on my hair (Yuck, Yuck)!


Many retailers sell this product and you can also look online to order.

If You Are A Minority Business Do You Expect Only Minorities To Support Your Business.

If You Are A Minority Business Do You Expect Only Minorities To Support Your Business?

Let's talk business for a minute, a lot of people think if you are a minority business owner, only minorities should patronize your business.

I think if you are of this thinking you are headed for a downhill spiral.   Walmart doesn't just cater to a certain race of people and all kinds of people shop there.

This is what makes a great business because money is coming from all communities and it is the perfect way to have a successful business.

You will continue to stifle yourself if you want to put pressure on one race to fully support your business because it isn't no one's responsibility to make your business great.  if you sell the right products, you will be able to grow in more successful markets.

Take pride in your business and treat all people fairly, don't take shortcuts because bad reviews will kill your business.

Stop shortchanging your customers and expect them to pay more for an item that they can get somewhere else cheaper.

Update your business to keep it looking new and attractive so people will continue to support your business because they will see that you take pride in it.

Example: I went to a restaurant and the workers were very rude and they served my food on chipped plates. Needless to say, I haven't been back because that is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Be friendly and inviting when someone visits your business and you will notice that people will feel good about patronizing your place of business.

Bottom line, go to your favorite business and see what makes them popular and successful and follow suit and you will be successful as well.

Ariel Is One, Great, Laundry Detergent.

Ariel Is One, Great, Laundry Detergent.


Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.  It is almost December and I don't know about you but I am on a budget so I can get Christmas gifts for my family.

A lot of us have to cut corners every way we can and I am a product reviewer and I love, love, love Laundry Detergents.  I try all kinds and there are many that I love and Ariel Laundry Detergent is one of them.

Ariel is made by Proctor & Gamble and they manufacture well known and great household products such as; Dawn dish detergent, Bounty paper towels, Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste, Downy fabric softener and etc.

So you know, Ariel must be a great product.  I love Ariel so much because it is affordable, it only cost me $1.00 for this 250 gr bag of detergent and it is very concentrated.  Ariel smells really good, you can add fabric softener but you really don't have to.

I use half a cup to clean a full load of clothes and you can use less or more depending on whether you have hard water or not.  It can be used successfully in white, lights and dark clothes.

It cleans my clothes very well and keeps me looking good.  I find my Ariel in Family Dollar, Bravo Supermarket, CTown Supermarket and some other retailers.

I have been washing a lot of my delicate items by hand and I love the concentration of Ariel Laundry detergent and I don't have to add a lot to get the results that I need.

Finding a high-quality laundry detergent for a good price is always my goal.  Make sure that you try this detergent and let me know how you like it.
