Cute Plus- Size Clothing That'S Affordable

There are affiliate links in this post which mean that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made

Searching for nice affordable clothing for plus-size women can be a tedious chore. It seems like you can only find clothes suitable for younger women or the clothes can be dowdy and very old.

There are many sites where you can find clothing for both young women and older women who want to dress nice and clothing with a good fit, but you have to search all over. When you find a good retailer, you better stick with lt.

It is very important to know your measurements when ordering online, or you will be very frustrated.  I used to just order blindly and I was constantly sending things back.  

You can even do this if you are shopping in person at a store and this will save you a lot of time.

I am apple-shaped so it is hard sometimes to find fashions suitable for my figure, so I usually do a search for fashions for women who are apple-shaped, to come up with some ideas and it has really helped me to find clothes that fit and to enhance my particular shape. 

You can do the same and you also can go to Pinterest to see what people are wearing that have your shape.  That makes it easier to find cute plus-size clothes that are affordable and make you look good.

When you go to an online store make sure you save cute clothes to your wishlist to make it easier to go back to order.  This will save you so much time.

If you are looking to save money; go to the online site and place the items that you want into your cart and leave it there for 24 to 48 hours and the retailer may send you an email regarding sales for the clothing items that you want.

Improve Your Oral Health & Immunity With Smile Brilliant's cariPRO Dental Probiotics Plus A Giveaway

 

cariPRO Dental Probiotics

This information is a collaboration with Smile Brilliant.  All opinions are my own.

Some years ago I was given the opportunity to try Smile Brilliant teeth whitener.  I was sent the teeth whitener gel, and custom whitening trays.  I was amazed at how white my teeth looked.  That teeth whitener is really something else!  If you want to see my Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitener before and after, please check out my Smile Brilliant post.

I have really been trying to do better this year with my oral care habits because let's face it; dental care is very expensive.   I have now been given the chance to try cariPRO Dental Probiotics.  This product supports natural immune defenses, supports good breath and gum health, and helps to fight plaque buildup.  

We all have been searching for ways to support our immunity since the start of the pandemic and probiotics populate with healthy bacteria and displace the bad bacteria to keep them from growing back.  These are good defenses to keep your mouth and body healthy.

I am on a dental journey this year to improve my smile and the health of my mouth.  These probiotics are just what is needed to move my dental care in the right direction.  These probiotics have a pomegranate berry flavor. This makes a great addition to any dental care regimen.

cariPRO Dental Probiotics are a great way to improve your body's ability to fight diseases and infections in your mouth.

Oral disclosing tablets temporarily highlight
plaque & tartar build-up for more effective
brushing.

Plaque Highlighters - for kids & adults - use temporary oral dye to show areas plaque is gathering so it can be removed by good brushing

Smile Brilliant also has a new collection of oral health products

Electric Toothbrush - dentist-style polish every day with super-effective cleaning through timed vibration.

• cariPRO Electric Toothbrush
• Water Flosser - floss teeth more effectively & comfortably using targeted water pressure
• Custom Night Guard System - custom guard that protects teeth at night from grinding & clenching

Smile Brilliant’s oral care products are custom-formulated with the latest research to improve oral care through real science and innovation. Their lab-direct process makes achieving professional results at an affordable price easy. In the last few years, they've taken this model and expanded their line of oral health products to include something for everyone - from the newest in the cariPRO line - a cordless water flosser that allows for easy and effective cleaning, to a custom night guard system to protect the teeth from nighttime grinding.

What do dental probiotics do? Allow healthy bacteria in the mouth and sinuses to crowd out bad bacteria and improve your body’s ability to fight decay, disease, and infection.

Most of us have heard of probiotics for maintaining intestinal (gut) health, but probiotics have actually been shown to be very useful in many areas of the body, for skincare & dental care in particular.  Like other types, dental probiotics shift the balance of the existing bacterial composition (microbiome) toward an increased population of “good bacteria”, improving the overall health & fortitude of the area. What that means for us, is that our mouths are healthier: reduced plaque & tartar, fewer cavities, gum inflammation & the causes of bad breath, and that protection actually extends to our ear, nose & throat providing immune support & protection against viruses and developing infections (sinus & ear).

What You Should Know About Aromar Premium Quality Fragrance Oil

 

I started using Aromar Premium Quality Fragrance Oil about eight or nine years ago.  I have purchased it from Family Dollar and other stores.  It can be purchased on Amazon and eBay. The quality of the fragrance oil is very strong and it smells so good. 

The price of this oil is very affordable.  I used to use this oil to burn on my oil burner and it perfumed my entire apartment beautifully, but now I use it on my used wax melts to restore them to their former glory.

I put a little on top of my wax melts while it is on the burner, and voila, it is new again.  The smell lasts a very long time.  Aromar comes in a variety of different fragrances.  My favorite used to be lavender, but since I started using the Chanel #5 version, I have been hooked.  It smells just like Chanel #5 perfume.

They even have an Egyptian Musk version that is delightful!  Next time you go to the store look for this oil because it will make a difference in your home, and it lasts a long time because you only have to use it a little bit.

The oil is not skin-safe, so don't use it as an oil for your body or to make soaps. 

The bottle comes that I have comes in a 2-ounce bottle but it also comes in a 4-ounce bottle.

Next time you are in Family Dollar grab a bunch of these oils to enhance your atmosphere.

Want To Save Money By Using Rit Dye? You Can Start Now.

 Want to save money by using Rit Dye? You can start now.

It seems like everybody loves wearing jeans, but the only downside is the fact that they fade.  When my jeans would fade I would just toss them, but I had so many of them in perfect shape.  

Years ago, I had a discussion with my mom about my jeans fading and I told her that I didn't want to throw them out, and she said, " all you have to do is buy some Rit dye."  She gave me the steps and after I dyed my first pair I was (hooked).

You have to follow all the steps on the box or bottle, and your jeans will come out looking new.  Rit dye is very inexpensive.   To get the best results, I use one bottle per pair, but if your jeans are not all that faded, you probably could do two pairs with one bottle.

I usually dye them in my stainless steel sink or a plastic dishpan.

A lot of people do it in their washing machine, but if you do not run the machine afterward with bleach and nothing else in there, you run the risk of getting dye on your next wash load.

After I dye my jeans, I usually wash them by themselves for two washes to make sure there is not any dye transfer. 

So, now you do not have to get rid of your favorite jeans, just dye them and you will save money.

Women'S Crocs Shoes

Hello everyone, today I want to talk about Crocs.  These shoes have been around for some time and I have to admit that I wasn't anxious about jumping on the Crocs bandwagon. I didn't care for how they looked.

I have many problems going on with my feet and I was forced to find flat shoes that I can wear and still be comfortable.  The search has been very long because most of the flat shoes available look the same.

Lately, I have been looking at Crocs in many stores and I have actually been seeing some cute ones.

They come in a lot of cute colors and I am going to buy four pairs to mix and match for the spring and summer months. I am glad that there are different styles that are available right now.

These shoes would be great to take on vacation to take the strain and pressure off of your feet.

I used to feel like they looked like nurse shoes but now they look more stylish so I will definitely feel more comfortable wearing them this year. 

       

The Truth Behind Dish Soap For Laundry

There are times when you may run out of your favorite laundry detergent and you wonder whether you should take the chance and use dish soap. 

Dish soap is perfect to have in your kitchen but also to use instead of laundry detergent if that is all that you have on hand. I have been doing this for many years without any problems.  You have to make sure that you do not use any dish soap that has bleach in it to avoid destroying your clothes.

Dish soap is a degreaser which means that you can use it to pretreat your clothes that have grease stains. I like using Dawn dish soap for this but you can use any dish soap that you have on hand.

Now, to use it in your washing machine you have to make sure that you add just a short squeeze or two to avoid having soap suds everywhere. I do this when using an HE washing machine or any washing machine and I do not run into any problems.

The truth is the fact that dish soap is a cleaner like any other cleaner and it tends to be very mild.  Sometimes I will soak two of my delicate shirts in a mild solution of dish soap; rinse then wring them out and hanging them up to dry.  

It works very well for washing your bras, hats, and baby clothes. Just make sure that you use one that is very mild to use on baby clothes.

This will prevent them from getting damaged in the wash. I absolutely love washing my jeans with dish soap because they will dry much faster than when using laundry detergent.

Dish soap is perfect to use if you have a ring around the collar.  Pretreat let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and then toss in your washing machine.

It is perfect to use while on vacation if you want to handwash clothes without buying a bottle of laundry detergent.

Sometimes, I stock up on dish soap at my local Dollar store to keep on hand.

Any Cons Using Dish Soap For Your Laundry?

1. If you are line drying your clothes, they will be crunchy or a bit hard but you will not have any problems when you dry them in your dryer.

2. If you do not use dish soap with fragrance your clothes will be clean but they will not have a perfumey smell like when using laundry detergent.

3. You have to carefully avoid using too much so you don't experience any problems.  Monitor your children when using to avoid having suds everywhere.

I did a video using dish soap to wash my clothes in my small portable washing machine if you want to check it out.

"My moissanite ring review" Is it really a diamond alternative?

This post contains an affiliate link. This means that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

Today I am sharing with you my video to share my love ❤️ Moissanite. In this video, you can see the sparkle and how this ring looks a lot like a real diamond.

You can check online or at your local jewelry store to see how brilliant this stone is. I have decided that I want a bigger Moissanite stone to wear with my different band rings.

I will still buy diamonds because I am a diamond lover but I will definitely be buying a lot more moissanite this year.

3 Reasons To Buy Moissanite Jewelry

 3 Reasons To Buy Moissanite Jewelry.

Disclaimer: There are affiliate links in this post which means that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

Moissanite jewelry is really beautiful and it has come a long way since the earlier days when Moissanite first appeared.  Some people have complained that it has an unnatural "rainbow effect."  I saw this effect years ago, and it was pretty, but it didn't really look like a diamond.

The price of this mysterious stone was very expensive.  I was quoted a price of $1000.00 for a one-carat solitaire ring.  I knew if I would just wait a little while longer, the price would start to go down.  

I have been looking around and pricing Moissanite rings and necklaces, and I have found some that are authentic-looking, and the price is really reasonable.  There are three reasons why you might want to look into getting a piece of jewelry with this beautiful stone.

3 Reasons to buy Moissanite Jewelry

1. If you have been wanting a one or two-carat diamond pendant and the price is out of your reach, this stone will give you the satisfaction of having the appearance of a diamond without the hefty price that you would pay for a high-quality diamond.
2. You have been looking for an engagement ring with a big diamond but you really don't want a diamond because some diamonds are unethical. This would be an ideal way to get the look without any regrets.
3. Moissanites are 9.25 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, which means that you don't have to worry about this stone being damaged in a short amount of time.  This can be your forever stone.  You will be able to pass this down to your daughter or son many years down the road.

Make sure to look around online and also in your local jewelry stores to see the quality of the stone and to talk to a jeweler regarding this type of jewelry.

Try on rings or pendants to make sure that you are satisfied with the look of the stone before you buy it.

See if you feel comfortable wearing a non-diamond ring if this is going to be your engagement or wedding ring.

If you are not comfortable wearing moissanite and you cannot afford a real diamond of the size of the moissanite, then consider maybe a colored gemstone or even a colorless gemstone-like white sapphire, white topaz, or spinel.  They may not look exactly like a diamond, but you can still find a beautiful stone that you can be proud of.

Get Rid of THE FEAR OF MISSING OUT Once and For All!

Get Rid of THE FEAR OF MISSING OUT Once and For All!

The fear of missing out has its origins in envy.  We do not want to admit it but we see our friends and family with their new cars, homes, fine clothes, and better jobs and we wish for the same things for ourselves.  

What we do not see is the struggle that some people are experiencing to pay for these items.  It can include taking on a second job, starting another business, or taking out another loan. 

Those of us who are not well off often decide that we are going to not miss out and attempt to get the same things that our friends have. There is nothing wrong with working and having nice things but does your pocketbook allow you to have those things without you experiencing a hardship?  

Those are the conversations that we must ask ourselves. If you are overspending because you fear that you are missing out, you have to ask yourself " who am I impressing?" and you will get your answer.

To get rid of the fear of missing out once and for all means that we have to carefully plan what we want our financial future to be.  Start saving money towards short-term goals that you want to accomplish.  If it is that new big television, start saving a little money for about four or five months and then you will be able to get it without a financial strain. 

If you want a new car carefully do an online search to see what resources are available to purchase this car without paying more money than you have to.  Also, take a lot of care and pride in the car that you already have.

If you want a new home, work on your credit if it isn't good.  Cut out all unnecessary expenses.  Factor in all of the things that you will need to get this home, like repairs that this home might need if it isn't a brand new home.  Enlist some credit repair agencies to get yourself ready so you can get your home.

Nice clothing can be had with careful planning and only buying clothes from brands whose clothing is known to be long-lasting.  Splurge once per month on affordable luxuries, so you do not feel like you are missing out. 

Pull back from social media and live and invest in your own truth.  Make your own dreams come through and you will be a more content person. Find peace within yourself so you do not feel like you are missing out.

 

25 Useful Tips To Save Money And Improve Your Budget.

A new year always makes me think of ways to cut corners and improve my budget. Right now, food and other household products are at an all-time high. Since we don't exactly know what is ahead it is the perfect time to find ways to save on some products and services, so here are my 25 useful tips to help you save money.

Disclosure: There are affiliate links in this post which means that I would receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

1. Buy meats that are on sale or at the meat counter that you can have cut up and use for stews, stir fry, casseroles, and to flavor beans and rice.

2. Shop at the dollar store for your meat seasonings, eggs, tuna fish, and soda.

3. Buy toilet tissue in bulk when you can because it will save you money in the long run. Family Dollar usually have great prices for their big bundle of toilet tissue. That is where I get mine most of the time.

4. Buy big boxes and bottles of laundry detergent because you can use them for other things like; bathroom cleaner, to clean your floors, to clean areas around your kitchen, and you can wash your walls with it.

5. Try to save fifty dollars out of every paycheck to use for emergencies. If you cannot save that much then save something even if it is twenty-five dollars.

6. Do not buy dry clean only clothes because it will cost you more, in the long run, to take care of them.

7. Buy body wash and soap only when it is on sale at CVS or buy it in bulk at Dollar Tree, this will save you so much money over time.

8. Purchase a Firestick or Roku and cut down on your cable tv or eliminate it altogether; this will save you a lot of money in a year's time.

9. Get yourself a water filter because this will save you from having to purchase bottled water.

10. Learn how to do your own nails from watching YouTube videos.

11. Buy bedspreads because they are easier to maintain than comforters.

 12. Get Amazon Prime so you can order your groceries, and also watch movies.

13. Cut down on going to the hairstylist by doing your hair yourself or just going to the hairstylist once per month and then maintaining it on your own.

14. Look online for sales for your favorite cosmetics. Amazon usually has great buys and you can also cut corners by using sites like Elf Cosmetics.

15. Treat yourself once or twice per month to your favorite restaurants and order in. The rest of the time learn how to cook your own gourmet dishes at home. You can watch YouTube videos to get your favorite recipes.

16. Stop buying coffee every time you leave your home. Buy a great brand of coffee at your local supermarket and get a coffee maker if you don't already have one and brew your own. This is a habit that costs a lot of money without you really realizing it.

17. Buy plain but well-made clothes and then add some fun inexpensive pieces to your wardrobe. This will allow you to have more clothes for less money.

18. Buy your winter coats in April and May and you will be able to get some nice coats for a little amount of money. I do this all of the time and some of my favorite coats are only $20.00 or less.

19. Invest money into taking courses that will update your skills. You can do this without paying for expensive college courses. There are many online programs that are inexpensive and you can also contact your online high school for their catalog. They usually have a lot of valuable courses that don't cost much and some schools will even give you a certificate.

20. If you are short on money you can buy refurbished or used electronics at this site called Unclaimed Baggage. I just recently started shopping on this site for replacement tablets and I will be looking to get more computers for my business from this site. I paid a total of $18.00 for a tablet only, a few years old. It works great!

21. Go to the dollar store for your pet's toys, food dishes, and also their wee wee pads.

22. Make a potluck dinner on Sunday and use the rest to take to work for lunch. This will save a lot of money even if you just do this two days per week.

23. Buy your boots for next year at Rainbow Shops in March or April. I have been able to get nice boots for only $5.00 saving me a lot of money when the Fall and Winter seasons. I usually buy five or six pairs for only $25.00 or $30.00 total.

24. Get a tuneup and rotate your car tires every year because your car will run better and also help you save on gas.

25. Buy good quality used name-brand clothing at Thredup. You will save a lot of money and stay in style. I usually wait until they have a sale and then I clean up! Buy good quality used cars to avoid car payments and put some money away just in case you need repairs.
