I'm such a shopper!
I like to pride myself on being a bargain hunter, but alas that doesn't always happen. I walk into the drug store to get milk and decided to get some makeup because my supplies have dwindled somewhat from use and things getting old!
There's a lot of buy one get one half priced sale going on at our local Walgreens. Do you think I would try to find something from those items on sale? Noooooo! I go to the ones that I like and know that works. Although I do like to try new stuff, this time I really wanted my staple bronzer because the other one was finit! It wasn't on sale...although the price is pretty cheap at $3.99, I wanted it to be on sale! Come to think of it though, I could have sworn I paid $2.99 the last time.....hmmm. Maybe not! I put it in my basket anyway!
I've been looking for a really nice, hot nail color to wear on my toes and fingernails for the summer. Even at my age I love wearing colors that are nice, although I no longer wear the neon ones....hey a girl has got to know when to pass that stage! I wanted to get a lovely pink, not pale, which I would usually wear, but a nice hot pink!
Any on sale...yeah, but I didn't gravitate towards those. I chose a pale gold color instead that is going to look great on my feet and fingers, especially since I"ve gotten a shade darker since the weather has gotten warmer around here. So at $1.99, deal!
Which reminded me to get a facial sunblock. I decided to try something new. It mentioned that it was an age fortifyer...I guess I can use all the help I can!lol! And the big deal cincher...it was on sale, half off at $2.50!
And last but not least of my fab find for my summer replacement make up....this nice caramel/orange/bronze lip gloss! It wasn't on sale but it was a good price at $2.99! I have a pale gold lipstick that's been sitting in my makeup basket at home since I bought it about two months ago...new find...so this will go nicely over it! When I wear it by itself, it's way too pale for me.
So those items along with some shampoo and conditioner and a gallon of milk, which was for $3.19 came up to the grand total of $19....and change! I was hoping the milk was on sale at $2.49, which is usually a steal in my neighborhood but it wasn't. Although at $3.19 it's still less than Walmart's $3.69! Outrageous! Hey, if you buy milk as often as I do, about three to four times per week, you would complain too!
So here's a pic of my new finds! I dunno, you might want to see what it looks like!lol!

Summer Staples
During the warmer, make that hot summer months, we always have in our refridgerator ice pops and ice cream bars! They came in handy yesterday because it was soooo hot!

The good thing is now they make the sugarless, or less fattening ones which I've been buying and the kids enjoy too! I was surprised at that! And they still do taste good! Seriously!
Rain today!
I'm looking out at my window as I sit here and type and it's raining! No way, I was so looking forward to a morning power walk but I was waiting on my little one to wake up since I promised she would go with me this morning. Ah well, I guess it's the Performa machine for me today!
She and my son have been wanting to go to the pool, we have a community pool but I have been begging off since I"m not bathing suit ready yet! I have to give in though, perhaps next weekend! I'll wear my long shorts that won't show too much thigh...lol! Come to think of it, it will be my birthday weekend!
More Three-way!
Last night again, another three way conversation with my bro and sis! It was my younger sister's birthday! I like it that we're doing the three-way thing, it's so much easier!
Almost Prom
Next week it's the big day...Senior prom! My daughter has found her dress, her shoes, and the jewellery to complement the outfit. We have to make hair appointment and she wants to do her nails....don't ask, it's a big deal! We made a make up appointment at the Prescriptive counter for next week Friday! These girls are going all out! Thank heavens she can foot most of the bill!lol!
Of course I'm going to post pictures! How can I not share this special day with my friends uh?
Well, a bit more reading/commenting and perhaps more posting and then it's off to prepare dinner! Hope you're having a good Sunday so far JUsers!

! I actually wanted to make that recipe that Shovel had on his blog but couldn't find Tequila and didn't want to go anywhere else to look for a bottle. I guess I'll try it another time! Ended up with beer instead!
