Recently, I had the fun “job” of sampling a bunch of the Riders by Lee line, and ended up adding a few great key pieces to my burgeoning wardrobe.
What I love about this line? EVERYTHING is under $20. Check it out at www.RidersJeans.com!
If you are planning to update your wardrobe this season, an option like this makes it a lot easier.

Did you ever imagine that you would ever find a slouchy/hobo bag for ten dollars?? I certainly didn’t expect to find one this morning, but I did. I was thinking of what I could carry while in Florida that would be functional and not too big as I have a tendency to pack anything and everything I might need for the day… and I tend to go over-board. This just might work and I love the color of the lining!

It’s absolutely gorgeous out there and that alone is reason to celebrate, but Yves Rocher is going to make you even happier. The company is hosting a Fall Fragrance Event and EVERY fragrance has been reduced by 50%!! That means that you could get a lot of holiday shopping done without lifting a finger or fighting the crowds. And that means that you get to enjoy the holidays without stress. I’m liking that!

Are you in the habit of losing as many tubes of lipstick as I am?? And just in case you are wondering, I never lose the budget lipsticks, it’s always the expensive stuff. Well, I have just the thing for you. It’s a month’s worth of lip gloss from Cargo all sealed in their own little bubble. I don’t know why I haven’t checked these out earlier. $12.00 for a month’s supply is something I can handle and if I lose one… I can live with that! Not that I want to!

It’s Bargain Day and I have found the perfect slippers at a really great price!! Actually, I was at the mall just yesterday, looking for slippers and they were either too expensive or the cut made my feet look fat. That’s right… FAT!  Now leave it to Bealls to offer a great looking slipper at a price that I like. Just look at the rounded cut of the toes. The slippers that I was looking at yesterday were kind of cut straight across which made your foot look really wide. Needless to say, I didn’t buy them. And lucky for …read more

Okay, I admit it… I’m a Baby Boomer and I’ve noticed something really strange. Retailers aren’t thinking about us at all. Go to any mall and you will find that 3/4 of the fashion has been designed for the twenty something or thirty something and that’s if you are lucky! And just in case you find yourself saying that you have many years to go before you hit your forties, trust me, it comes a lot sooner than you think and before long you will be facing the same dilemma. How do you dress trendy without looking like you are …read more

I have this rule of thumb… try out drugstore brands first and see if they work. If they do… I have saved myself a ton of money. If they don’t, then I move on. I actually saw this idea used on a British TV show last year. The family had to decide if the food product was a generic brand or the higher priced item that had a name well recognized. The kids didn’t like the idea at all but were surprised when they couldn’t tell the difference (in some cases). I have noticed the same thing happen with some of my …read more

I used to LOVE TO SHOP, but I am noticing that I can’t seem to get the same bang that I used to. I could tell you stories about lipstick that I used to buy for a couple of dollars and the afternoons at the mall when I was in my teens that my allowance would easily cover. My allowance used to be $3.00 a week… sounds kind of unbelievable now doesn’t it? Unfortunately, the cost of things simply haven’t kept up with how much we are getting paid these days and we as consumers HAVE to learn new ways to …read more

I read somewhere recently that a woman simply can’t have too many white blouses and I have to agree. I have quite a few of them I must say… long and short sleeve and if I can’t find something to go with a particular item, I can always rely on a white blouse, paired with a tank top to pull it all together. And now with the cool weather setting in, I’m pulling all of my winter blouses out of the spare bedroom closet so I can grab one at a moments notice!  This one is  On sale at at …read more
