Got 2B Root Boosting Spray...Review

And thickening non-aerosol hairspray Review!  I gotta tell ya, I just love BOTH of these!  I have super thin and super fine hair.  I was looking for a new hairspray and noticed this at my local Walgreens.  The hairspray is a travel size.  I wanted a hairspray that would let my hair flow but still retain it's shape.  This does that.  No more mommy dos (ponytails) for me now that I have found this.

The root-boosting spray is also just as awesome.  I can't even feel them in my hair.  Yet I can see the difference from when I don't use them and then when I do.  I can't wait to try more of their products for fine/thin hair!  The two together I paid $4.99 for and also got back a $2.00 register reward to use on my next Walgreens purchase.

If you have fine, thin, dry, fly away hair...I highly recommend these products.

For a little bonus today...a few days ago I posted my Nana's Banana Pudding recipe on my recipe blog...

I hope you all are had a fabulous day.

~*Shopping~*Shopping~*Shopping*~Day 1

Hey Guys!
  Last night before the snow hit my area, my daughter and I did some shopping.  And my husband and I went back out again today.
  Thought I would show you what I got. Some where pretty good deals.
 First Stop:  One of my favorite places to shop....Kohl's.
  I wanted to pick up a couple of things.  The Sunglasses and the Christmas Bear Gift Set.  And that is what I did.
 Relic Sunglasses!  I just love these and the picture really doesn't do them justice.  A couple of nights ago, I went onto Kohl's Website..They have NONE of their Relic Sunglasses advertised online.  Mine are called Walpole 1 in Silver.  Original price was $26.00.  I paid $19.50. I saved $6.50.  Not the best savings...I will take it.

Also picked up the Christmas Gift Bear Set!  I picked up two this time...and when I got home I wished I had got one more for my Grandma Dixie!  Originally these were $12.00 each.  I got them for $2.50 each.  Paying only $5 for both. Saving $19.00.

I also picked up some cute Simply Vera Vera Bradley Flip Flops!  I really like her line of clothing at Kohl's.  Best thing is that I can actually fit into them.
I paid $4.40 for them.  Saving $17.60!  They are really cute on.

Next was Dollar Tree!  I love going into Dollar Tree.  You just never know what they are going to have.  I bought some of the cutest wrapping paper for Christmas there a few weeks ago. Of Course, Everything in the Dollar tree is a buck.

I bought a basket for my closet to put things in.  A spiral cupcake Note Book and The Bra Clips-I have been wanting to try those out for a long time.  I thought for a buck....Why not!

Onto Target!  I have been looking for a smaller wallet for a while and just haven't found anything that I liked.   That is until I looked at this wallet.
It is so neat how it opens up.
I paid $7.99 for it.  It is compact which is what I wanted.  While there I also found a little purse that I absolutely love.  It was on sale for $7.95, last one. I snatched it up.
I know it is a Gold color.  But I like it.  I also know that it is small.  When I go out without my kids I like to carry a smaller handbag.  A bigger one when I have the kids with me.

That concludes Day one of my shopping Haul.  I will post what I got today-Tomorrow.

I hope everyone has had a fabulous day.  Tomorrow is another snow day for my kids.
Take Care!

*~*~*~Sweet Deals~*~*~*

Hey Guys!
  I absolutely love finding good deals.  I do use coupons but have become slack in using them because I have all my focus on my weight loss.  I am going to try to pick up more in using my coupons.
  Yesterday, when my daughter and I went out shopping.  I did purchase two things.  I was good believe me.  I could have walked out of Kohl's with a whole lot of junk stuff.
  We were browsing around there handbags, scarfs, jewelry, and seasonal items when we came across a pair of flip flops.  I picked them up and they were my size!  They were the only pair left.  Before I started loosing weight.  My foot was a size 11.  Now it is a 9 and a half.  I just HAD to get them.
  Please ignore my toe nails!  I need to redo them.  
The best thing is that I got them 90% off!  I only paid $1.80 for them.
Then I looked through what was left of their Christmas items.  And it was not much.  However, they did have quite a few of these little guys left.  
I only picked up one.  I am going to go back sometime this next week and pick up a few more if they still have them.  I am going to use them as teacher gifts next year for my little boy's teachers.
I only paid $2.50 for it. The other's that they had left was a panda bear, and one that was in a small gift bag.  They all were $2.50.  They had more of the panda bears left than anything.
Total Saved: $26.20!!!

I can't wait to go back.  They had a pair of Relic Sunglasses that I almost picked up and now I am wishing I would have.  I am going to see if they still have them when I go back...if they do....I am going to get them!

I hope you all have a fabulous day!
Take Care!

Then and Now~Weight Loss Journey Pictures

Hey All,
  Today, my daughter and I did a little shopping.  We didn't buy much but we did try on some clothes.   I wanted to try on clothes just to see what size I was...etc.
Before I show you my *Now* pictures I thought I would show you my Then picture.

  I was 270 pounds (not my heaviest weight either).  I wore a size 24 in Jeans.  And a 4XL/5XL in shirts.  I look just miserable...and I probably was!

Today, while we were at Kohl's.  I thought I would just try a size 14 in jeans because my size 16 jeans are really starting to get loose on me.  I was SHOCKED that they fit!!!!!!
Now I wear a L/XL shirt and a size 14 jean! It is amazing what 7 and a half months of loosing 93 pounds can do!
I do still have 39 pounds to go.  If I can loose 93 pounds in 7.5 months.  Hopefully, I can loose the 39 pounds by the end of the year.
I want to wear a dress to my son's 8th grade promotion ceremony in May.  So I thought I would try on a dress...and I actually fit comfortably into a size large!  I so badly wanted to get it but I hope to drop a few more pounds before the end of May.

My daughter and I had a excellent time out today.  We went to Kohl's, J.C. Penney's and Old Navy.  Kohl's had lots of things I was interested in and may go back sometime this week to pick a few things up.  J.C. Penney's had some good deals on Sweaters.  So I might go and pick myself up a couple of Sweaters.

As I loose the weight, I am slowly becoming addicting to shopping....hmmm, this could cause a problem.  :)

Have a wonderful Evening!
