Share

Twittermoms and Sears Kenmore has teamed up for a fun new call for blog submissions asking me to share 10 tips for weaving the hottest runway trends into your day-to-day looks,  you can read more about this request here

Im sure if your anything like i am its very important to look our best out in public!! The hottest runway trends are always changing from season to season and keeping up is very important!! I have a teenage girl who will refuse to go to the mall with me inless im some what on point with the todays fashion world,in her eyes my hair has to be the correct color,my nails has to have the coolest design,my make-up has to be applied a certain way and my clothes has to be from the hottest line.I quess you wont see me out to often with her!!

Im no superstar or no plain jane,i just like to look nice and presentable.I have a few tips i would love to share with you for weaving the hottest runway trends into your day-to-day looks.

1. Keep your favorite blog bookmarked- I found a blog online where all the latest beauty products are updated on a daily basis.It posts all the different beauty products that are out along with reviews and prices.I always read the reviews before i purchase beauty products.
2. Subscribe to your favorite fashion magizine- Find a good subscription deal on a magazine that you can always count on to show you the latest styles.Its good to read about how to apply make-up and see the latest shoes out.
3. Keep up with the fashion reality shows- Tons of reality shows on tv are up to date with fashion.I love the Hairshow,i learn all the different hairstyles that are in.I watch the talk shows and im in love with the Style Network channel.
4. Be a frugal shopper- Yard sales,consinment shops,and coupons will carry you a long way with being able to save on the beauty products, fashion purses and clothes we all love.You can even find good deals online.
5. Watch the fashion shows- Jerseylicious is a reality show that i watch faithfully!The girls are all hairdressers and dress well.I learn so many hair styles watching them.I love their make-up.
6. Get measured-In order to look good,you must have your measurements in the correct places.You dont want to wear a pair of slacks with the bottoms touching the ground,or your bra snapping open.
7. Department Stores/Outlets-From my experience,when i shop at the outlet stores i find more deals and the lattest fasion.I can find bargins with department stores but outlets are discounted allready.
8. Shop in your attic- Im sure some place in your house or storage you have clothes bagged that went out of style yrs ago,well these days all the fashion from the past has come back.I found so many neat scarfs in my attic along with the colorful pants i thought were never going to come back into style.
9. Trade and borrow- Family members and friends will always be willing to trade or borrow different items.The pink shirt your sister dont like would give to you for your blue eye shadow.
10. Watch Entertainment Tonight-  All the celebrities are always up to par with the hottest fashion.The latest purses,shoes and make-up styles can be watched on Entertainment Tonight.

I hope these tips are useful to you,please feel free to share some of yours below.

Who brings comfort and joy to my life!!!!

Share

Twittermoms and Kleenex has teamed up and requested me to share with you who brings comfort and joy to my life! You can read more about this request here

When i first saw this request posted at Twittermoms i knew i had to share,this would be a good topic to share with my readers because it was something i was just thinking about yesterday.This hits home for me because its something so special and dear to my heart.My good friend Zabrina,she brings me comfort and joy in my life on a daily basis.I could blog atleast 40 pages about all the comfort and joy she gives me.

For me a friend is someone who i can trust and believe in,someone who is here for me and willing to give me their shoulder to cry on at anytime.In return im that same friend to them.In my life i have had many good friends who i have been able to laugh and cry with.We would be close for many years and share many secrets.I still have these friends but i have this one special friend named Zabrina.When asked to blog about who brings comfort and joy in to my life i have to say she is off the charts!!!!

Our friendship is so special to me in so many ways.I struggle on a daily basis with excessive sleepiness called Narcelepsy.I can barely funtion even with taking medication,it takes alot of energy for me to just get up out of the bed in the mornings to shower.Getting showered and dressed daily is much more like a 2hr job.As a mother of 4 children i have been so blessed to have Zabrina as part of my life.Not only does she work a full time job she also helps me care for my 4 kids.Many mornings are hard for me,my 3yr old is like having 4 toddlers! Zabrina is right by my side helping to get him ready for school and out the door on time all before she starts work.The other kids are teens so they pretty much can do alot themselfs.

Zabrina has been here for me through thick and thin,on those days i cant open my eyes its her who will pick the kids up from school,help them with their homework and loves cooking dinner! I would be so lost without her,,on many days when i would cry and be ready to give up Zabrina would lend me her shoulder to cry on and give me that extra push to keep going.We have been friends for the past 17yrs and i look forward to the many more years to come!!

10 Holiday Survival Tips

Christmas is right around the corner,are you ready???

Twittermoms and Tiny Prints  are teaming up again and asked me to present you with a fun holiday blogging program! You can learn more about that request here .

For me the holidays are the most buisy times in the year with so many demands to meet with so little time.I have to admit that i use to be the most procrastinating person on this planet!! I finally learned and excepted the fact that its alot better and easier to be ontime with everything.Thanks to my favorite aunt giving me all the tips i'd like to share with you all,i have mastered the holiday madness!!

1. Plan ahead- Dont wait intill the last minuite to complete all your shopping,know who your shopping for by making a list ahead of time.
2. Always shop at the end of each season for the following year- near the end of each season the stores want to stock up on the next seasons items as soon as possible so they place alot of sales to get the new items out on the floor.Clearence racks will be everywhere so take advantage!!
3. Couponing- To maximise your savings,plan 1-2 hrs each week to clip and cut coupons.Using coupons on clearence items will make a huge savings in your pocket.Know your store policies!
4. Black Friday-- If possible leave the kids with a babysitter that you trust on the day you go shopping,we all know how hard and irritating it can be when the kids are winning,hungry,tired and just not listening.If you have to take the kids make sure they eat and nap before your shopping trip and take toys and snacks along.You will thank me!!
5. Get creative- Check out the deals at Tiny Prints Christmas Cards you can create them to be a special meaning for everyone,just make sure you order and send them out in time for Christmas,who wants a late Christmas card! lol
6. Make it all about loving and caring- Christmas isnt just about giving.Its a time for love,happiness and joy.If you cant afford to gift,especially during a time like this dont feel bad,enjoy the family and love one another.Share stories and laugh together.
7. Do NOT wait intill the night before to wrap presents- I hate wrapping presents,i enjoy unwrapping but wrapping is just so iratating to me because i just cant seem to wrap the gift without a part of the gift sticking out in the corners,im horrible with wrapping.Wrap a few weeks ahead of time so you can wrap 2-3 at a time.
8. Gift Swaps- My family is so large that it would cost and arm and a leg to shop for everyone,atleast 4 months before Christmas we have a name of a swap buddy to shop for.It saves alot of money and time.
9. Layaways- Plan a layaway early in the year,as items go on clearence most stores automatically reduce your layaway items down the same.Check with your store to make sure.
10. Choose a job for everyone- At the end of our family get togethers its a big mess!! We all assign a clean up job for each person and it saves so much time.

I hope these tips will help prepare you and your loved ones to have a great time together!
