Shopping: Let's be Frugal and Thrifty!

Hey Ya'll!

 Today I really just wanted to share with you some of the AMAZING deals I have found lately! Anyone who really KNOWS me know that I love country music and I love SHOPPING!!! It really is an addiction people...and I am working on that! Lol I have been referred to by several of my friends as a "label hoe" and yes that may be true but I want you to know that EVERYTHING I buy is on sale and I always try to find a coupon as well.  Not only that I also love to go "thrifting" and browsing garage sales. You will be amazed at some of the things you can find. I have noticed many communities have started garage sale pages on Facebook as well. 

 Below I have some items I have purchased over the last few weeks that I think were GREAT deals! I have something I found on my communities Yard Sale Facebook page, something I got from an actual garage sale, and some items I purchased new. I love to save and I love to share tips that can help the next person save as well!! I hope this is a post that you will enjoy. 
The Vanity below is an item I am verrrry excited about!! Hopefully, we will be buying a house in the near future and I want this vanity to go in my spare bedroom. It will be my makeup area. I am not sure if I will change the color or not but if I choose to I can sand it down, change the color, and change the handles as well.  I found this on the community yard sale Facebook group for $65. (Ignore the background we were putting it in storage.)



Below I have my Steve Madden Pony Hair Flats! YES, there is a story behind these! My BFF purchased these for around $80 on the Steve Madden website. I loved them so much and I really did want them BUT, I never pay regular price for Steve Maddens (or any other shoe). She tried and tried to convince me to order these shoes but I held out and didn't get them. Needless to say about 2 months later, while in Arizona, we visited a store called Last Chance and I found the EXACT same shoes for $18.99! Steeeeeaaallll!!!!!
I have been looking for a small cute stool for a while now. I was able to find this at a co-workers garage sale for $10. Again, I can change the fabric if I choose to.


Last but not least is my new Keurig!!!! I am already in love with this purchase! This item is regularly $124.99 at Kohl's. I got this Keurig AT Kohl's this weekend during a sale they were running. This Keurig was on sale for $89.99 with an extra 10% off. I had a 30% off coupon and a $10 off coupon from my reward points. One thing that I love about Kohl's is they allow me to double up on my coupons as long as they both are not a "percentage" off. I paid $60 total for my Keurig. After my purchase I got $10 Kohl's cash and a $10 mail-in rebate. When you think about it I'll end up paying $40 for it! I am not a huge fan of coffee but I love making the cider, hot chocolate, and teas that I purchased. Be on the look out for these type of sales at Kohl's....everything is a steal! My next big purchase will be a Kitchen Aid Mixer...lets see how cheap I can get that! 


Thanks for reading! Share some of your steals with me in the comments below or on Facebook! :)

Toodles!!

I had a Miscarriage.

For nearly 12 months I was afraid to even write this post. Now I know more people suffer from this than just me and just like I felt alone I am sure they do too. We are not. 1 year ago today I went into surgery. I came out 4 fibroids lighter. One fibroid was the size of a grapefruit and shifting my entire pelvis. I'd heard that size from several doctors...trust me I got 4 "second opinions." So  there  it was obstructing my uterus and preparing to change our lives forever. I couldn't "NOT" see what was causing all of my problems so during my surgery I had my specialist take pictures of the removed fibroids. I still have the picture.  Prior to November 17, 2016, surgery day, fibroids rocked our world and took us down a path that we’d never been, never  expected, but I always feared . You see, in the back of my mind I always feared I would be the one to go to school, work towards success, and later be unable to conceive.  I was wrong.

Black Girl in a Country World

  If it’s your first time here welcome to my blog and if you’ve been here before, welcome back!     If you’ve been on social media at all then you’re aware that Beyonce is releasing a country music album and 2 tracks dropped last week. Now, if you truly know me then you know how I feel about both Bey AND country music. You’ve probably heard me singing and blasting country music on the daily in my home or my car.   I’ll start with my love story and history with country music. I’m a black girl from central Mississippi and I’ve loved country music since I could understand and build a relationship with music for myself. My mom loved blues music so that was my very first introduction to music and don’t get me wrong I still love me some blues music but as soon as I started to develop my own identity, country music stole my heart.    I remember around age 9 creating my own cassette tapes filled with country music. I’d save my money to buy blank cassettes and listen to US 96.3, our Hometown Co

It's All Good...Until it Ain't...

So, this means I am off to a good start…twice in one week. Haha! So, the last blog post was a cliffhanger, right? LOL It gave you just enough for me to decide what’s next. After writing that post I thought, “where do I go from here?” But I figured it out…so here goes!   All of my 28 years, 10 months and 25 days I have felt and probably been bigger than the average person or what society says is “normal”. My weight fluctuates often I have been a size 5 and I have been a size 16. At this point in my life I am the biggest I have ever been. If you have seen me lately then you know I am a little “THICKUMS” LOL. Over the last year I have told myself “start getting in shape, workout more, eat less, eat better, yadda yadda yadda.” I have started diets and stopped them no sooner than 1 week into it. I have said it ALL but the motivation wasn’t there. Losing weight didn’t become my reality until maybe a month ago when my NP looked at me and said “You need to lose 5
