Deals, Deals, Deals

Black Friday and Cyber Monday ushers in the start of the gift giving season. Enticing deals, one after the next can be spotted splashed across TV screens, newspapers, bill boards and the internet. 

People literally go insane to get their hands on something they didn't even know they needed before a sale was announced. 

And I get it. I too get caught up in the black friday, cyber monday madness. This year the deals were especially good. Most of my favorite stores advertised 40 - 60% off storewide sales. But, before I clicked the confirm purchase button, I pledged to and successfully stepped away from my virtual shopping cart for ten minutes and seriously contemplated what I was about to do.

Because I took this approach to shopping this go round, I was able to make better decisions and not make spur of the moment purchases that were fueled by red tags. So what did I purchase?

This decision came about because I had to carefully weigh what was more important. Based on inevitable changes in my life and the economic climate in the near future, I have to tighten my purse strings and every penny need to be properly managed.

Even though I had to pass up some great deals, I have no regrets. Life goes on and there will always be next black friday and cyber monday.

Fun Facts about Thanksgiving

1. The first thanksgiving was celebrated with a three day fiesta! (Can you imagine partying for three days straight).

2. Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, corn on the cob and cranberries were not on the first Thanksgiving menu. Wildfowl, porridge and venison was probably on the menu.

3. Thanksgiving was not a yearly celebration by the pilgrims. Lack of harvest some years brought disappointment.

4.  The pilgrims used spoons and knives to eat with during the first thanksgiving. Forks weren't invented yet.

5. Every year, one turkey is pardoned in the U.S.A.

Oil of Olay Shine Control Lathering Cleanser - Product Review

Product Claims: Deep cleans to purify skin's surface with the cleansing power of a mask, in an everyday form that minimizes shine. This detoxifying mud cleanser lathers and rinses like a daily deep cleanser for thoroughly purified, clean skin.

Ingredients: Water/Eau, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Potassium Hydroxide, Lauric Acid, Polyquaternium-10, Fragrance/Parfum, DMDM Hydantoin, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Kaolin, Iron Oxides, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Ammonium Polyacrylate, Pentasodium Pentetate 

My Findings: I have been using this product for the past four months and I am super impressed. It does everything it claims. I have oily skin and I was amazed by the shine reduction after just one use. The cleanser is very thick and has lather for days so a little goes a long way. It has a very pleasant smell that leaves my face smelling fresh and clean. I highly recommend this product, it is absolutely perfect.

A Balanced Babe

That's the definition of being superficial. I'm sure everybody has had their moment of caring only about superficial things (and that's perfectly normal). But, living your entire life that way is cause for concern. There is so much more to life than the materialistic, inconsequential things we chase after. 
I found a fun quiz online that supposedly measures how superficial you are. While the quiz is not scientific, it does shed some light on the type of person you are. So, how superficial are you? Click the link below to take the quiz. Post your results in the comment box.

My results: I'm a Balanced Babe!
Your casual look makes you approachable, but guys still like to check you out from afar. You aren't very superficial, but you value unique style and certainly don't mind being scoped out by a hottie. Most importantly, you know that your appearance means nothing if you don't have a positive attitude to go with it.

The Good Wife

November's Tv Delight  - THE GOOD WIFE

I've become totally obsessed with this show. This political drama follows the life of Alicia Florrick the wife of a state attorney, whose husband is caught up in a mortifying sex scandal.  Do you guys tune into this show? What are your thoughts?
