Coupons! They really make a difference!

I had never really gotten into couponing.  If I saw a useful coupon in the Sunday paper, I would clip it out and use it on occasion, but I'd never been to any of the coupon websites.

My dad's girlfriend, however, uses them often.  This morning she was picking out coupons online and asking me if I used this, or if I used that and it turns out quite a few of the items she listed, I did use, or could use.  So I hopped on my computer and went to www.coupons.com and www.couponsuzy.com and found several useful coupons.

Today, while I was out running errands, I stopped by Wal-Mart to pick up a few essentials and wound up saving $6.50 using coupons!

My absolute favorite shampoo and conditioner!!!  I saved $1.50 on this combo!

 

In addition to the $1.50 I saved on both shampoo and conditioner, I had a coupon for $0.75 off the shampoo! ^_^

 A new one for me.  I usually use the Tresemme hairspray, but since I had the coupon and absolutely looooove the shampoo and conditioner, I decided to give their hairspray a shot and the coupon saved me $1.00.

Another new one for me, but I know I'll just love it!!!  It smells SOOOO good.  I got the Jergens Crema in Hydrating Coconut Milk!  I just love the smell of coconut!  I saved $2.00 with a coupon.

And last but not least!  Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off mascara.  I saved $1.50.

I think I may become a regular visitor of those coupon websites, as well as perusing the ads in the Sunday newspaper for coupons.  $6.50 may not seem like a lot of money, but overtime, it really does add up.  This was only one trip to the store, after all.  If you haven't tried clipping coupons, you should definitely try it out and see how much you'll save!

Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) Look from Orphan Black

So I have fallen in love with the new series Orphan Black!  The first season just ended on the very beginning of this month.  If you haven't seen the series, you should go check it out!

One of my favorite things about the show is how Tatiana Maslany plays all the clones.  They are each different, have their own personality, some have different accents.  She plays them so well, it seems like they really are different people!  You forget each one is played by the same actress!

One of Tatiana Maslany's characters, Sarah Manning has a very punk-like, grungy style at the beginning of the series.  I really liked the look and decided to replicate it in my own way.

My attempt.

I think it's a very sexy, edgy look.  I'm thinking of perhaps uploading a video on my YouTube channel (link to the right, as always) showing what I did to achieve this look.  I'm kind of hesitant about it because I've never done a makeup video trying to replicate a look before... I feel more comfortable with the ideas that come out of my head.  Lol.  I guess it could be my own take on it.  Well, if you're reading this, let me know what you think of the look, what you think of the series, or it you'd like to see a video of this how to get this look, or all three.  Ha ha!

Well, that's it for now!

Later!

Hello, lovelies!

I guess I haven't really been keeping this thing updated, have I?  Well, I'll have you know that I got my groove back and am making videos again!  Yay!  That also means I'll be keeping my blog more updated as well.

Currently I'm uploading a video about eyebrow waxing with pre-waxed strips.  My favorite way to remove hair around the brows!  It's got a couple of hours to go (thanks to my slow internet).

Me showing off my freshly waxed brows... Kinda lame.  I know.

Also, I've gotten new glasses.  Those are the pair I wear more often and then I have another pair I wear just around the house.  Lol.  I've decided to stop wearing contact lenses because they've gotten to where they really bother my eyes, especially when I wear eye makeup (and you know I'm not going to stop wearing eye makeup!).  Glasses are better for your eyes than contacts anyway and I think it was a good decision. :)

And I just haven't been buying makeup lately.  I think I mentioned this in my previous video which was my May Favorites video.  I guess I haven't been wearing it as much since school is out, so I guess I don't feel a need to buy it.  Plus, I do have a lot of makeup that I barely touch.  Don't worry, I'll see some exciting new product or find some new shade of lipstick that I'll just have to try eventually!

Well, that's it for now.

Later!
