Steals & Deals

I have found some great deals this week!!! Which everybody loves a great deal even if it's just on lotion. Yesterday I had some errands to run so of course while I was out I couldn't just not go in the mall that would be rude. So I had told my grandma I would find her lotion that she uses because she wa running out, keep in mind she's been using this same bottle for about 5 years!! So I went to bath and body works and they are having a huge sale where the majority of their lotions are just 3 dollars! If you can smell that good for 3 dollars then therein just no excuse not to smell delicious all the time!


Since they were having such a great sale I bought her 3 different lotions, one sweet pea, cucumber melon, and then my new found favorite cotton blossom. For those who like a nice clean smell this is for you! When I showed my grandma her new collection of lotion (which she loved) she said it took me 5 years to use one bottle so now I'm set for 15 years!! You have to love your grandmas sense of humor. 


The next great find was at Old Navy, they have all of their active (workout/running) shorts on sale for just 8 dollars. They had some cute colors too which is always a plus, you never know who you may run into. You don't have to wear makeup to the gym but a cute outfit never killed anyone. 

Have you found any good deals this week?
Where at?

Please excuse any misspelled words, this post came from my phone so it was a little tricky this time. 

Know what you have

Most women have a drawer in their bedroom or bathroom that they keep all of their jewelry in. When you keep all of your jewelry piled in a drawer you never end up wearing all of it. A few examples of what can happen

A: All of your necklaces form a huge ball of tangled chains that a magician couldn't even fix.

B: You keep one pair of earrings out on your bathroom sink along with that one ring and one necklace that are your everyday things you put on and then you never wear the rest.

C: You don't want to take the extra time to look in the back of the drawer or underneath all of those necklaces to find something that you haven't worn in a while.

Solutions, get a bulletin board and either hang it on your closet wall if your closet has enough room for it, or prop it up against the wall in your bedroom like I did. Take a some colorful tacks that you can find at any dollar store or Walmart and start hanging up all of those beautiful pieces of jewelry that you've been hiding from yourself.

Root mania

Any woman in the world will tell you the worst thing in the world to see is roots. Especially if you are naturally 100% gray. There is nothing worse than looking in your rear view mirror as you drive down the road to see a skunk stripe a mile long going through your beautiful hair. There really is no cure for this other than staying on top of your hair appointments and if your hair grows fast then you might as well change that 6 week appointment to a 4 week appointment.

Some tricks that can help you get through those last days until you reach the promise land of your hair salon. If you color your hair really dark and there are those few gray hairs standing up right in the front of your hairline take some mascara and brush over them. If you're a blonde you can take some dry shampoo ( I prefer Redken brand) and spray on your roots. After spraying always comb through your hair and even give your roots a little tease. Also for blondes ask your hairstylist to put lowlights in your hair that match your natural color.

For the girls who naturally have dark brown or black hair and like to have highlights but you don't like to maintain them. I feel your pain because I am right there with you. The best thing that I have done to fix this is problem is the ombre (don't try to do this yourself, please go to a professional) not every ombre has to be drastic it can also be very subtle. I recently had a client with this problem so we just did a subtle ombre and she loves it because she has the brighter feel for summer but no up keep that comes with highlights.

Color Craze

If you haven't noticed I'm trying to play around with the different colors of font that I would like to use, and I've almost decided to just use a different color everyday. This is the way i feel about the polish I use on my nails. In the summer I like to wear a bright neon pink, mainly because it brings out your tan. But then there are days when I want to wear plum or red or maybe get a wild hair and go with a deep blue. Its funny we tend to get in slumps and stick with the same color every time, or that one time you think you want to change you stand at the colors for ten minutes debating on if you wear a lot of purple and what if you don't? then your nails wont match your shirt!! Well don't worry ladies your nails do not have to match your shirt every single day. Every once in a while you need to take the leap and go with the deep blue or neon pink, change it up!! These are some great colors for summer.

I recently ventured into the world of print pants, I have the colored jeans but never any with a print or pattern on them but one day I found a pair of skinny Capri's that I just had to have. You'll never guess where I found them, TJ Maxx!! Yes I know hard to believe but they were only 10 dollars so you know when you start to reason with yourself that it's a great find then you know you're getting them. While buying these I had to ask myself what should I pair with them as far as shoes and shirt, but since it is warmer now it has to be sandals and the pants are light pink so I figured just this once I would go with a plain white T-shirt, as my friends and family no I very rarely wear a plain white T.

 

 This is the outfit, I promise it's not as wrinkled on as it was on my floor. This whole outfit, all of which from TJ Maxx only cost 35 dollars. When you buy an outfit don't think that you can only wear it together, don't be afraid to mix up the different pieces. The shoes which are Carlos by Carlos Santana were only 15 dollars and I literally wear them 3 to 4 times a week, and clearly the white t-shirt by Cynthia Rowley can be worn with anything and everything. So don't be afraid to get your moneys worth out of your clothes.

Even though in my profession I am lucky enough to wear pretty much anything, this would be a great summer barbecue outfit or even for a girls day or night out. Don't let your job dictate your closet it's nice to have pieces that are functional in both environments but you alwyas need pieces that are fun for you!!

 

What's your favorite polish?

Ready, Set, Shop!!!

Shopping... There really is no in between either you hate it or you love it. Me personally, I love it. Even though I tend to have a rich girls taste with a poor girls budget I can still manage to find something affordable for me. The key is to know when to go to the small but sometimes pricey boutiques, and when to go to the discount clothing stores. My personal favorite is TJ Maxx, I have deemed myself a maxxinista, which is a clever name for those of us addicted to TJ Maxx.
 
The smaller boutiques which are generally found in every town are always a great place to find pieces that not many people will have, but at times that can come with a high price tag. If you are someone who has to stick with a strict budget and is strong willed (which is key) still go in those stores and just look at how they have the mannequins dressed and some of their more popular pieces, and then go to a TJ Maxx and find something similar.

My mom was recently having this dilemma, we went to a boutique and she found a very nice blouse that looked great on her! but the price was just to much. So I went to TJ Maxx and yes had to do a little digging but actually found the same exact blouse for half the price!!! I honestly felt like I deserved an award for such a steal. That's the beauty of TJ Maxx they carry great quality clothing for the most reasonable prices. Even better, the stores are normally very well organized, because believe me there is nothing worse than going into a store with mounds of clothes piled to the ceiling. So the next time you find yourself in a budget crunch but you absolutely have to have a new outfit for a summer barbecue stop in a TJ Maxx and don't be intimidated by looking through a few clothes racks, I promise it will pay off for both you and your wallet.

What is your favorite boutique?

Who I am

This is my first post and I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous...I should probably start out by introducing myself. My name is Paige, I am a hairstylist for almost a year now and I absolutely love it!! My overall goal is to eventually own a hair salon and clothing store, or become a personal stylist..RZ in training, (RZ stands for Rachel Zoe)..The way that she gets to style celebrities is how I would like to style the everyday woman.

I live in a small town so sometimes my fashion choices don't exactly fit in, but i can still throw on jeans and a t-shirt and go ride horses all day with my brothers. My entire family rodeos so that occupies the majority of our life. When you rodeo your whole life is consumed by taking care of animals and vacations normally consist of going to a rodeo just out of state. Even though we may complain sometimes we still love it and wouldn't trade it for the world.

If I'm not at the hair salon or home I'm probably out shopping, it is by far my favorite thing to do. I could literally shop all day every day and love every minute of it. Even though I have a rich girls taste with a poor girl’s purse I can still manage to buy something. The key to success when it comes to shopping is knowing where to look and when. This is why I wanted to start this blog to share and hopefully help you find the right look for you from the roots of your hair all the way to your nail polish on the tips of your toes.
