Look Expensive without the Expense...

"I'll bet you spend lots of money on your clothes, don't you?"
How many times have you been asked this question, and you were able to just smirk with satisfaction over how untrue a statement like that is? Some of us can truly say that was the case for us, but there of those of you out there who feel that you actually DO have to spend lots of money, in order to look great. Don't look down your nose at me for shopping "low budget smart". Episodes 1204 and 1121 of Style TV's "How Do I Look?" had me jumping up and down at their mentioning and giving examples of low cost shopping! You can check out their before and after makeovers at http://www.mystyle.com/.
The slip dress pictured above is a fun and sassy example of cuteness for very little "mula"! I found this beauty on http://www.target.com/ for only $23 bucks! Have you been caught up in the convertible dress love fest? Check out this beauty also found on Target.com for about $35!

I'm so giddy when I find a deal, and I love LOVE to see items on TV and celebrities that I have also found for myself! Why? Because I know that I didn't spend half as much as they did!
Target is only one of many stores to satisfy your "expensive" taste with your "frugal" budget. Check out other sites and stores such as http://www.rossstores.com/, http://www.walmart.com/, http://www.tjmaxx.com/ and http://www.marshallsonline.com/... If you're a lover of name brand, high-five me now, because name brands you will also find at Ross Stores, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and, hold your breath, Dot's and DD's Discount stores!
Oh yeah, baby, I know you love me, because I have just assisted you in the saving of some of your money, in an economy that is struggling...
Next time, we shall talk about how to expand your wardrobe, without spending a dime! Say what?!

It's Ok to Say "Yes" to You...

Everyday, you go to work, whether it's at home or a long commute. You take care of your business. You take care of your family, from your parents, siblings, children and/or grandchildren. Everyone seems to get your attention, except you... Your body aches, from hours of working, tension from stress, and you can't think of the last time you had a peaceful night of rest. Your mind is constantly filled with a list of tasks, none of which include a moment for you. You're tired, but someone else has asked you to assist with a project, and/or you need to meal prep for the week for your family. You only go to the doctor, when you're making an appointment for someone else, once you've finished being both nurse and doctor to your loved ones. STOP!!! You can't go on like this! It's time to take care of yourself too. Why? Well, let's see: Decrease stress, which will also lead to, A healthier life/lifestyle (physical and mental) A sense of life fulfillment, includin...

Smile! It Really Is Good For You...

A SMILE A FROWN VS How many times have you been walking down a hallway or into a store, and someone told you to "Smile, it'll make you feel better" (or something like that)? Were you in "one of those moods"? Did you scowl harder, thinking "why doesn't that person mind her/his own business"?

Chilled to the Bone, but not the Heart...

The cold weather is officially here, and I find myself ready to bundle up and cuddle... Funny thing is that I'm thankful for the ability and desire to be a loving person. Yes, I said "thankful", and yes, I said "ability". Truth be told, there was a time that I wasn't sure that I wanted to be that "loving" person. I didn't want to keep having my love taken for granted or used against me as a tool of manipulation. I didn't want to be hurt again (because that seemed to be all that my loving character brought), by anyone in any relationship, no matter what the dynamic of that relationship may be. I thought that maybe if I could just be a cold-hearted person, and keep my affections exclusively for my children and immediate family, then I could avoid being hurt by others... Ever been there? Still there? Well, let's walk together through why it isn't healthy for you to allow your heart to freeze over: Stifling emotions can actually cause y...
