Long Lashes

We all want em, right? Well because of a wonderful new concoction I have stumbled across, you can now have them!

No, I am not talking about eyelash extensions, I am talking about your very own lashes becoming mega-ultra long. To the point where you might even have to be giving them a trim  (maybe I could add that to my service menu in my salon: eyelash trim $10.00)

How? well let me tell you:  Li Lash

li_lash[1]

This is a product that you apply to a clean face free of make-up, to your lash line, just like you would apply eyeliner, every night. Then within 3-6 weeks you will have long lashes that even Snuffy would be jealous of.  After that you maintain your lashes by trimming and only applying Li Lash 2-3 x’s per week.

It costs $140 + tax and should last you up to five months or longer. If you are interested in growing long lashes and would like to purchase some for yourselves, let me know by leaving a comment or giving me a call # 801-520 –2747

Feature Friday

Today’s “Feature Friday” is absolutely one of my top 3 Favorite blogs of all time.

The Pioneer Woman

If you have not heard of her, I fear you might be from another planet.

To me she is like the Celine Dion of the blogger world, a true diva.

Her blog consists of some of the best recipes known to women! As a bonus, her blog is full of lovely photos to go along with her wonderful tutorials. She offers a bit of everything for all types of palette’s from “Marlboro Man’s favorite Sandwich”, to “BBQ Jalapeno Poppers”.

Please Enjoy!

Because, for sure, I know I do!

Another good grocery day, thanks to Albertson’s close out sale!

I spent $260 dollars yesterday. (be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see what I saved)

I was not planning on spending that much. And if you have been following my grocery shopping excursions using coupons you are probably wondering what is the point of me using coupons when I am spending so much every week.

Here is how it all goes down.

In the beginning you are trying to build up your own personal “stock pile” of food in your own house so you can pretty much “shop” from your own house.

I am to that point now and I have only been doing this not even a month.

I am loaded up on soups, cheese, yogurt, detergents, hygiene products, make-up, medicine, drinks, cereals, baking goods, quick meals etc…you name it, I got it!

So this week I knew I didn’t need much except for a few basics like chicken, milk, bread, eggs, & some fresh fruit, no big deal.

Then I saw in my Sunday paper that 3 Albertson Stores in the valley were going out of business and all of their stock would be 50%-75% off.

I had to jump on it.

This is maybe a once in a life time opportunity for a “couponer” like myself (I’m pretty sure “couponer” is not a real word and I  totally just made that one up). Can you imagine all the savings, 75% off + a coupon….

Let’s just say I was a little bit excited. And for good reason as you will see in the following list of groceries I purchased: Grab a Diet Coke, sit back & kick up your feet……This is a good one.

(12) Hamburger Helpers

(4) Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes

(8) Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mixes

(2) pkgs. of Kleenex Toilet Paper

(2) 100 oz. Tide Laundry Detergent

(8) Febreeze Fabric Spray

(6) Tide Stain Release

(4) Bounty Paper Towells

(4) Dawn Dish Soap

(4) Downy Fabric Softener (60 loads each)

(1) Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil

(12) Prego Pasta Sauce

(4) Quantum Finish Power Ball Dish detergent

(2) Pez Dispensers (yes, I take my twins grocery shopping)

(8) Pillsbury Cookie Dough

(8) 8 ct. AA Energizer Batteries

(4) pkgs. of Good Nites underpants (we have a bed wetter amongst us, and no, it is not James)

(4) Secret Deodorant

(1) Miracle Grow Plant Food

(3) Olay Body Lotion

(1) Olay Regenerist Facial Lotion

(1)  pkg. Playtex Tampons

(10) Pantene Shampoo (for the boys of course)

(3) Pantene Conditioners

(2) Deep hydrating balms

(3) Village Kitchen Scented Candles

(3) Bottles of Excedrin Headache

(2) 2 1/2 Lbs. of Tyson Frozen Chicken Tenders

(1) tub of Loyds Shredded BBQ Beef

(1) Tub of Hormel Spicy Pulled Pork

(2) pkgs. Of Bakery stuffing

(1) Pork Roast Tenderloin

(1) pkg. 15 bean soup

(1) jar of  Del Monte Pineapple Chunks

(2) Family Size Lite House Dressings

So yes, I spent $260 dollars that I wasn’t planning on spending but I also saved $398.53  which pretty much rocked my world!

Chastity

So, went to Young Women’s tonight.

Was pulled into the kitchen for a little chat with my pal/YW Pres., Dana, and was informed that, she, I, and the other YW counselor, Jenni will be speaking in sacrament meeting on Sunday

Now mind you…..Sunday is Valentines Day.

Our topic????

You got it………..Chastity!

(I have to kind of giggle when I think about this, I can almost hear Marvin Gaye playing in the background?)

So on that note, wish me luck!

My Vacuum Sucks!…and I couldn’t be happier.

 

I own 3 vacuums.

Not one.

Not two.

But 3.

That seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Why do I have all of these vacuums? It’s not like I have taken up a new hobby of collecting crappy old vacuums.

The real problem.

They don’t suck!

Which normally would be great cause things that suck, usually are not great.

Well, these aren’t great.

I have even had to go so far as to borrow a good friend/neighbors vacuum from time to time just to feel better about laying on my own carpet, no names mentioned. (By the way Char, thanks again)

That was a sight to see. Me taking  a vacuum on a walk around the hood. I bet the old man down the street thinks I need a one way ticket to the loony bin.

Well. After consulting with my personal specialist on these matters. I purchased a vacuum this weekend.

and guess what???

It sucks!

Hooray!!!!!

I love you little Kenmore Vacuum.
