Five Simple ways to save money


1. Buy only if you need

Every time I go shopping I always ask myself "Do I really need this?". I've been doing this for a while now and realized how much money I saved by not buying things I do not need. It may be hard at first to say no to something you really like but think about it, you don't need so many tops or accessories. I have donated tons of clothing items I once bought, thinking I'll wear it, and end up not using. It's really just a waste of money and takes up space in my closet.

2. Clean sweep

 Dig though your stuff. You will find things you forgot you had. Trust me this really helps because instead of buying new stuff you get to style what you found. 

3. Stay Away

Stay away from stores! This is has helped me save like crazy. I would go shopping to target every week and spend $20-30 on stuff I don't need. I decided to go less often and I've noticed a huge difference. I try staying away from stores I know will have something good I would want to buy. The key really is just stay away, do not go to the store unless you need to. 


4. Look for good deals 

Don't be afraid of looking through the clearance section. I've found many good items on the clearance rack, things I had planned on buying before. I once bought a shirt for full price only to find it 75% off a few weeks later. You can find some really good things on the clearance rack, just keep an open mind.

5. Hide your money

Before you head out the door only carry with you certain amount of cash. I tend to overspend when I know I have more cash in my wallet. If you are a card person start carrying around cash and try to stay away from card swiping. 

Follow these tips and I'm sure you'll notice a huge difference! Think about it all that money you save can go towards a nice vacay or in my case a new camera. Let me know how it goes and Good luck!

Diy Sugar Scrub

I have been using this scrub for a while now and have noticed how soft my skin has become. It's natural and so inexpensive, also great for everyday use. During the winter my skin gets extremely dry. My hands and elbows get so rough so I started using this sugar scrub and my hands and elbows now feel so smooth. The sugar exfoliates and gets rid if dead skin cells while the olive oil leaves your skin moisturized. This stuff works really good on your lips too. I just put some on, rub my lips together, rinse it off and voila! Soft baby lips!  
Make this scrub with only three easy steps:


Step 1- Grab an empty container and add granulated sugar either half way or as much as you would like to make. I reused one of my Bath and Body works candle jars to store it in. This also makes a great gift idea just fill the jar up with the scrub!


Step 2- Add olive over the sugar and mix it until it looks like this. You can also try using coconut oil which ever you prefer!


Step 3-  Use it during a shower rub it all over your skin and wash it off. Results? Soft and smooth skin.

Favorite Workout Gear

w



Ruched tank / Yoga activewear / Activewear top / oGorgeous Gym Boutique - Train Insane Yoga Mat / oGorgeous Gym Boutique - Train Insane Boyfriend Tank 



I was looking at some workout gear and came across these fun workout tops. I love the motivational quotes that they share. I think its a good way to motivate not only yourself but also others. Whether you work out at the gym, outside, or in your home, these tops are fun and great to wear. I really like the yoga mat and I am thinking about purchasing it. The quote it has really motivates me because it is so true. If we do not train insane, we will only remain the same. If you want to see results and see your body change, you have to work hard. I've been doing a lot of Blogilates lately, and have been really sticking to it. On weekends I head out to the desert and walk/run with my dogs a mile or two. I do however, want to dedicate more time doing exercise and training harder. I want to get myself fit and stay fit. We can all accomplish our fitness goals, but it takes dedication and determination to get it done. Sore today, strong tomorrow! Treat yourself to some nice workout clothes while you are at it.Good luck on your fitness goals if you have any and I hope you accomplish them.

Hey Mickey


I put together this look of current fashion items I'm loving. I have to say I'm in love with everything. As much as I want to purchase all these things, this year I decided to only purchase an item if I really need it. Here are the pieces broken down


 1. Forever 21 booties  I'm obsessed with boots and I thought these would look great with jeans or shorts. I like how they can go with any outfit wheather it's dressy or casual. 

2.Disney Junior's Sequin Mickey Sweatshirt Gray I'm a kid at heart and I freaked when I saw this sequin Mickey Mouse sweater. Who doesn't like Disney? I love anything Disney. 

3. Yellow beanie hat  This beanie from target is perfect for those days my hair is a total mess, plus the mustard color makes it ten times better.

4.Feather hair accessory  Love these feather pins. I think they would look great styled with braided hair.

5.Forever 21 clothing I'm not really a jegging person, but these jeggings from Forever 21 look like they can go with anything. The best part is that they are affordable.
