FOUND!! Cute clothes and cheap groceries...at...Walmart!


 Look at all those groceries!!!! Seriously, look at them!! I got at least two weeks worth of groceries for less than $100!!! This may not be as exciting to you all, but to me this is like...unbelievable...magic, even! I normally spend far more than that just to get a week's worth of groceries for two people.

I have to confess I am not a huge fan of Walmart, I don't like some of their business practices, and between the other people shopping there and the generally unfriendly cashiers, I really only go there if I have to. But, I was curious after seeing some of their more recent commercials about saving on groceries and I am all about saving money right now! I am still blown away!


One of the most exciting things I found was this! Macadamia Cookie coffee?!?! Seriously! I have never seen this at Target, and I am so excited to try it! Yummy!



Probably the most surprising things I found at Walmart were the cute clothes! OMG what?!? For real, there are cute (and cheap!) clothes AT WALMART!! Who knew! I got a maxi dress, shorts and a cute summer top! I am so excited I can't even believe it!


Here's a little sideways pic of me wearing some of my finds! I still am floored by this....

Also, grocery shopping at Walmart today was actually kinda fun, and I normally hate shopping for food. I am definitely converted.

Three Beauty Must Haves


So I am sure that none of these products are new to you. You probably have them in your bathroom now, or have purchased them in the past. BUT do you know how to use them? A couple of these items can be used for things you may never have thought about before.

So I want to offer you three beauty tips you can use everyday items for!

1. Pluck your own eyebrows? Hurts kinda huh? Well not if you put a little Anbesol on a q-tip along the area you want to pluck. Wait about three seconds for it to sink in and pluck away pain free :-) A little goes a long way!

2. Got sweaty feet? Sure you do! It's summer, and it's hotter than Hades out there right now! Buy some cheap deodorant and give the bottoms of your feet a swipe before you put your shoes on, and you can say say "peace out." to stinky sweaty feet! I have used Baby Powder and Gold Bond Powder but this works waaaaaayyyyyy better.

3. No shock here, but you can use Vaseline about a million and five ways. I know a lot of people want petroleum free stuff and that's cool too. Just glob it on your feet and put socks on to sleep. Wake up in the AM with the softest feet ever! Love this for summer especially! I sleep in little Hanes anklet socks, so they aren't too warm for sleep.

Have any beauty tricks? Share them here :-) I would love to see!
