Clone of Perfumes+Dupe Perfumes are SO GOOD, You Don't Need The Original!

This is a review of Clone of Perfume, perfumes that I was gifted for my review.  * There are affiliate links in this post.  I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made. (Sponsored.)  This review is my opinion.  

I received Naked Cherry No. 33.  Initially, the spray was intense, then a warm aroma lingered.  The scent of fresh cherries remained, but it was fainter. I wore this fragrance all day, and I received compliments about this perfume. Some people said that they could smell the cherry fragrance, but some said that they could smell a bit of jasmine in the perfume.  Just a little spritz of this perfume will do.  I loved this perfume!  It is very inexpensive and of a great quality just don't spray too much of it when you first apply it.  Naked Cherry No. 33 is inspired by Lost Cherry.

The next perfume that I was gifted is Rouge Veil No.13.

Initially strong, the perfume's intensity lessened.  It wasn't too strong, but it was perfect.  This perfume has a little bit of a bite.  It is definitely unisex and can be used by men or women.  To me, it smelled a little bit like lime and then it had a woody kick to it.  I would also say that it smelled like an expensive musk oil perfume.  With this perfume you only want to add a little bit because you don't want to overdo it.  I have fallen in love with this fragrance.  Baccarat Rouge definitely inspired it.

My final analysis regarding these perfumes; they are strong going on but these perfumes lasted all day on my skin.  They have such a luxurious fragrance. This company does not use harmful fragrances. The Clone is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The low price for these perfumes is really unbelievable for the quality of these products.  These perfumes would definitely make exceptional gifts for birthdays or Christmas.

If you know me, you know I adore cute eyeglasses, colorful tops and sweaters.  I generally choose black pants, jeans, or skirts, and I combine them with a pretty printed top.  

I feel like fall enhances my personality.  You see folks flaunting sassy boots and hats these days.  Completing the look with a fashionable coat.  

I often buy eyeglasses; they offer a put-together look, particularly on days I skip makeup.  Blue, green, purple, and red are my preferred colors.  

My fashion choices often get noticed.  Even when it is a day that I don't feel like I look my best.  

I buy my clothes from a lot of different retailers.  This gives me variety in my wardrobe.  Some of my clothes are very inexpensive.  There are some items that I will pay a little more for and that is timeless clothing pieces, watches, and other jewelry.

I am a plus-size influencer, so my appearance is very important to me.  I am now with LTK, so I will be challenging myself to bring different clothing styles to my social media profiles.  Please follow me on my LTK and check out my post.

                     

In 2026 you will no longer be able to use your SNAP benefits for candy, soda, and prepared sugary snacks

I read an article today, and it said that in 2026 some states are banning SNAP benefits for being used for candy, soda, and sugary prepared snacks.  A lot of people are upset about this because they think they should be able to eat whatever they want on their SNAP benefits.

 Over the years, I have seen so many overweight people and overweight children.  I am overweight myself.  Food is really expensive, but the candy and snack foods are being used to pacify our cravings.   I have seen people giving their kids so many snacks, and the kids are extremely overweight. 

Sometimes I like snack food more than anything, and I know this isn't healthy.  Some people do not cook for their children, or their kids are latchkey kids. I think this new law could be good for people who are low income. It will make people be more responsible for feeding their families healthy food.  

They are not totally banning sugar, so you can still make your own cookies, candy, and sugary snacks. It will take a little more planning. 

You can make food in your crockpot before you leave for work so your kids will have a healthy meal when they come home from school. You can also make meals in advance and freeze them. 

 Teach your kids how to make simple meals and make sure that there is always bread and sandwich meat available for them to make sandwiches. On the days that you are off from work or if you do not work, prepare cakes and cookies that you can make for your kids.

Make iced tea, lemonade, use fruit juice since you can no longer purchase soda.   This is a good time for all of us to get healthy.  Maybe this generation will be a lot healthier than the last.

How to save money at the supermarket

 

Hello everyone, I know I have been gone for a while. Today, I decided to show you how I save money at the supermarket.  Food prices are sky high!  

The other day I went to the supermarket and was planning on spending $150.00 for food, and when I placed the items in my cart, there were hardly three bags of groceries.  After I added up the price and the items came to $160, I put the items back and went to another store. 

The store that I went to was Aldi Supermarket.  Their prices went up a lot, but it is still cheaper than some of the other stores in my area.  I could get fresh fruits and vegetables, boxes of cereal, and a big pack of chicken, juices and soda, and my bill was $70.  

They still didn't have the variety of meats that I wanted, so I went to a local supermarket, and they have a meat counter.  I could get pork chops, beef stew meat, chicken legs, chicken breasts, and pork neck bones to make a delicious dish. 

I forgot to get a bag of rice when I was at Aldi Supermarket so I included it with my order.  My bill was $74.  I was so happy because these items filled my freezer up.  

When you are on a budget, you may have to go to two or three supermarkets to get food at a cheaper price. 

If I want to get more meats or vegetables, I usually get a box of tea bags and lemon juice and sugar or sugar substitute and make big containers of iced tea.  It tastes good, and it lasts me a long time.   You can do the same with using fresh lemon and lemon juice to make lemonade. 

If you like coffee, you can make hot or cold coffee with ice.  This will save so much money!

For snacks, I buy cake mix and make a big cake.  I cut it into slices and freeze some of it.  If you cannot afford all fresh fruit consider using frozen fruit or can fruit.  

These are the best ways to save at the supermarket.
