BEAUTIFUL CANDLES FOR THE FALL SEASON
I love the Fall because of the leaves changing and the general feeling of change in the air.
When the weather is nice and crisp; I love to turn on some slow, soulful music, light some candles and cook some hearty meals.
Candles can put you in a good mood and just create an atmosphere of serenity. I purchase my Candles from a lot of different vendors but I find that I really love Bath and Body Works Candles because the smell is so inviting.
Sometimes I like to use Candles as a decoration with my Fall Colors. You can purchase some very good Candles from Walmart for good prices. My favorites are Cinnamon, Candy Apple, Spice, pumpkin and also the Christmas theme Candles such as; Pine.
RINJU BODY AND HAND LOTION
Rinju Body and Hand Lotion is a favorite of mines, so I decided to share it with you. This lotion makes your skin feel so soft and as an added benefit; it has a rich, perfume smell that is so yummy. It repairs dry, chapped and weathered skin and I like to apply it after I have had a shower or a bath.
I purchased this lotion from my local Beauty Supply Store and I paid $3.99 for it. You can wear this lotion instead of your perfume spray because the smell is really rich. I love the fact that it is enriched with vitamin E. If your Beauty Supply don't carry it; request that they order it for you. This 16 ounce bottle will last you a long time. They also sell a smaller version for $1.00.
EYEBROW SHAPER
We all like to go to the Nail Shop and get our Eyebrows done and it is very inexpensive to do so, but sometimes we may want to skip the trip and take just a little time to do our brows ourselves and this little baby sure does the trick.
I usually go and get my brows done at the shop and then for about 5 months I maintain it by using the Eyebrow Shaper. You can go to any Beauty Supply Store and find this shaper for about $1.00 and I have seen them at the Dollar store for 3 for $1.00. The Shaper can last for about 2 months but I usually buy 1 every month and I just love the results I get from using them.
If you are not comfortable using it; just try taking a little hair off to shape the brow and with practice you will learn how to do it well and maintain those brows. There are many youtube video's that show you how to use the shaper and some people skip the Nail Shop altogether and just use the Shaper. I remove hair from my brows about 1 per week and I save a lot of money by doing so.
SHOULD HE GIVE YOU AN ENGAGEMENT RING OR NOT?
This question is something that has been swirling in my head for some time now and even though this blog is all about saving money, I just have to speak my peace. There are many Women who are getting engaged but they have no ring.
I don't know when all of this started but it is becoming the norm. I feel that if a Man ask you for your hand in marriage, he should already have the ring and place it on your finger. To some this may seem a little old fashioned but I see it as a very important step that is taken when preparing to spend your life together with someone.
Does the ring provide security that this Man is a good person or a good catch? No!. What is does say is; "I want you to be my wife and I am showing you my token of appreciation and I am serious about taking this step". Of course the Man could change his mind and ask for the ring back but it shows initiative on his part and I don't think Nooooooo Woman should be engaged without a ring. Our parents were engaged and received a ring in devastating financial times in America and nobody would have it any other way. At that time; No Ring, No Wife!
Now ladies I want to say also; if a Man has a low paying job, don't expect him to put a $10.000 ring on your finger. There are many places that carry rings that are reasonable such as; Zales, Walmart.com, Sears.com. Macy's.com, Overstock.com and Kmart.com. You can go to these stores in person except Overstock.com and look for a pretty ring that is reasonable.
Ladies, make him appreciate you and work for it because if you don't you will be left with a Man who is just looking for fun or someone to take care of them and you do not deserve this.
WOULD YOU WEAR THESE?
As we look forward to the colder months; these are the fashions that some of us will be wearing.
Since this Blog is about saving money; we can implement some of the fashions that we have from last year or either from the summer months and look through magazines to create some of these styles without putting a hole in our pockets.
Trendy clothes have their place, but they can go out of style almost as soon as they come in. I can see some of these trends can be created also from thrifting. I just recently saw some plaid skirts at the thrift store also some of these clothes can be altered to mimic these styles.
I have Diabetes and I was looking for foot wash that would be easy on my feet and make them soft and was not irritating to my skin and I have found it! I stumbled upon it at my local Dollar Store and I decided to try it and I am fully satisfied with the results. It made my feet feel soft and when I was soaking it; it felt invigorating.
Please look at the foot wash in your Dollar Store because they may carry this same brand. I just love the peppermint fragrance and I paid $1.19 for it and this product is comparable to a $10.00 foot wash.
CHURCH RUMMAGE SALES
You can get a nice amount of items for about $10 or $20 dollars and I am my happiest when they have the bag sales because you pay one price and you stuff that bag with as much stuff as you can get in there. The only drawback is; most of these sales do not have dressing rooms, so you must bring a measuring tape, so you can buy your right size.
If you are not sure about sizing; then it is best to just stick with their household items.
HOW TO WASH AND CARE FOR YOUR SYNTHETIC WIGS
I am a youtuber and some of you know that I suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia and it is a condition that I will have the rest of my life. I have become a wig lover because of this disorder.
I am very passionate about wigs and it can be sort of a fashion statement. I used to buy wigs and when they started to look a little frizzy; I would just toss them in the trash, but now I have learned how to take care of them.
- You will need a wig head .
- Shampoo ( Any Brand)
- Comb
- Hair Conditioner or liquid fabric softener.
- Hair or wig sheen spray.
- Towel
You will first take your basin and fill it with lukewarm water with half of teaspoon of shampoo.
Then take your wig and dunk it about 3 times and do not rub it. You shall then take it out the basin and rinse it in lukewarm or cold water.
Empty your basin and put some more lukewarm water in and a tablespoon of hair conditioner or fabric softener and put wig in and let it sit for about a minute. Take the wig out and lightly dry it with your towel. Then put it on your wig head and lightly spray with your wig sheen. When wig is finished drying; put a little more wig sheen and comb it lightly. Do not comb or brush curly wigs; straighten curls out with your fingers.
You are now finished
RAINBOW SHOPS END OF SUMMER SALES
Hello Ladies: Rainbow Shops is having their end of summer sales and what that means to us is; Bargains! This is the best time to stock up on clothing for next summer and it is also the best time to find items that are convertible to wear in the fall and winter.
What I usually do is; buy tank tops and tee shirts to wear under a cardigan or a jacket. I look for sandals to wear next year.
You can buy all those cute dresses for about $7.00 and don't forget; Rainbow Shops have an online shop with nice clothing and the shipping is very reasonable. This is the perfect time to stock up.
