Make Me Over – Hair

I have extremely curly & frizzy hair. It gets dried out easily and it’s hard to manage. A favorite product I’ve tried recently is called Black 15 in 1. It really has helped control the frizzies and my hair feels softer and smoother!
About 15 in 1 :
Finally. One product is all you need. No more countertops cluttered with gels, sprays, oils and so many other styling products. black 15in1 Miracle Hair Treatment is the one solution you’ve been looking for to provide beautiful, healthy-looking hair. Our nourishing combination of nutrient-rich botanicals and other ingredients has been formulated to work miracles on all hair types, including: Color treated & processed – Dry, brittle & damaged – Straight, fine – Coarse, curly or thick – Oily – Frizzy & unmanageable.

So, how exactly does black offer so much benefit for so many hair types? Silk proteins and keratin moisturize, strengthen, soften and smooth as Pro-vitamin B5 seals the hair shaft to retain maximum benefits.

Pool Boy – The Sequel

If you haven’t heard Texas is experiencing record breaking sizzling weather right now.  I was outside pumping gas the other day & I swear I got a sunburn!  We need rain sooo bad!!!
Last night instead of bathing Connor in the tub I gave him a bath in his pool 🙂
Fun for all & a good cool down!

He’s been doing the Home Alone face a whole lot lately.  It’s hilarious.

Good Deals I’ve Found Lately…

We all love a good bargain right? 

Especially now that our economy is in the crapper. 

I’m scared and I know a lot of other people are too.  It looks like I’ll be working until I’m 90….that is if I live that long. 

I do use coupons, but only on things I need.  I don’t buy things for the sake of buying them because that’s just inventory & I don’t want that stuff lying around my house. 

In my opinion everything eventually goes on sale.  Everything.

If I see something I really like in the store I generally wait a few months until the end of season sales hit.  You can usually find the same item for 25%-75% of what it was originally priced.  Just be patient.

I also sign up for a lot of store mailing lists.  Whether it’s by postal mail or email, it pays to get on the mailing list and get coupons.  Just by visiting a company’s website and signing up for emails I’ve gotten tons of coupons and deals!  (I usually use my “trash” email account…you know the one you only use for un-important stuff)

These are a few of the bargains I’ve gotten lately :

* The purple fleece is a Patagonia Women’s El Cap Jacket.  It retails for $100 & I got it for $25! 
* The cream jacket is a Patagonia Women’s R4 Jacket.  It retails for $250 & I got it for $60!
DOUBLE SCORE!
A few weeks ago I got an email from Pier 1.  It was a $10 off a $10 purchase coupon.  I used it three days in a row and got some awesome stuff!

* I got a couple of these glittery pumpkins.  They retail for $5.95 each, but with my coupon I only paid $1.90.
* The next day I picked up the swirly pumpkin place mat & some other kitchen goodies for FREE!!!
* The last day I found this :
A spice cake scented owl candle, normally $12, but I only paid $2!
SCORE AGAIN!!

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Border’s Bookstore is going out of business.  I’m so sad about this because I just adore Borders 🙁  BUT-On the other hand everything in the store is on major sale!
*I picked up several Papyrus cards.  They normally are pretty expensive and range from $5-$7 per card.  I scored a whole bunch for $1-$2 each. 
* I also scored the Macbeth notepads, normally $7.50 each, for less than $3 each!
I’m sure there are more things I’m forgetting right now….
