My Deal Of The Day

I love a good deal, don’t you? :-) I color my hair at home. Not only is is less expensive, my hair is short enough that I can do a good job. When my hair was longer I would have it done at the salon because I didn’t want to miss any spots. I don’t have a favorite brand that I always buy – I don’t buy the same shade all the time. In the June 2, 2013 P&G insert, there is a coupon for...

Natural Skincare: #RadiantWithAveeno

I’ve always had dry skin so I’m mindful to keep it moisturized so it looks healthy and fresh. Up until recently, I’ve used a basic moisturizer, but now I need something more.

Spring Cleaning, That Earns You Money

Spring is here, and it’s time to open our windows and clear out the stuffiness. It’s also a great time to do some spring cleaning and get rid of items you’ve accumulated and are no longer using. Having a garage or yard sale is a good way to make some extra money, while unloading things you don’t need, or want any longer. But what if you live in an apartment and don’t have a place to hold a yard...

#ThriftStoreFind – Hand Painted Bowl

I bought this charming hand painted, wooden bowl at a local thrift shop for $2.00. It’s painted a pretty shade of blue and has colorful flowers and leaves painted on the inside.       I glued some felt to the bottom because it was a little rough and I didn’t want it to scratch my kitchen table. I like to use it during spring and summer to hold fruit for easy access.   Tags: thrift shop,...
