Coupons, Sally Beauty Supply, Uncategorized
I'm a huge fan of Sally Beauty Supply products!  Recently, SallyBeauty.com is now up and running so you can now buy products online and they have $5 off orders of $25 or more at SallyBeauty.com. Use code 555202 (expires 8/31/09)! One of my favorite products is their   Beauty Secrets Moisturizing Sugar Scrub I don't have a lot of time to do my nails as I would like to, I will use just a little bit of this scrub on my hands and rinse.  My hands and nails feel so good!  Plus, the scent (which might be strong for some people) I believe is so sweet and yummy.  It makes me feel like I had been to a spa!  You can use it on your knees, elbows, and feet.  The…

Easy Chic Furniture! Black Antique – Old to make Old again!

DIY, Uncategorized
How do you make that old ugly 80's furniture look better? Yuck!  Most people would say throw-it away!  Or donate it! Or Freecycle it! I say reuse it! Make it better for about $5-$20 and your time! About 5 years ago my husband and I were doing our typical Walmart shopping trip which always included looking at clearance items.  This particular day this Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Kit caught my attention it was called Accents by Rust-Oleum Brand - Distressed Antique Black. I bought 2 kits for $5 a piece.   (Note: This was 5+ years ago.) At the time, we were living in a small townhouse that we had owned for a couple years and I was interested in painting picture frames black and maybe a couple other pieces as well.   I…

Why you should buy a Sunday 8/9/09 Washington Post this week.

Coupons, Magazines, Newspapers, Uncategorized
I was thinking about the Red Plum coupons and the reason I buy the Washington Post each week.  Currently, I have a subscription and will be canceling it soon since I don't have a weekly discount anymore.  Instead I will go to the store and get the Sunday Double Deal on Sundays.  There will be some Sundays I might not be interested in getting it, like the Holidays don't have coupons.  So, in the long run I will save by only buying the ones that I want.  There are some Sundays that it makes sense to buy more than one or more than two.  I will try and write a post on Saturdays to say if it makes sense to buy the paper or not. This week you should!  Sunday…
