HELLO MONDAY

how was everyones weekend? i hope it was very enjoyable. i had a great weekend. i went to my first bar mitzvah ever, and it was seriously awesome! I saw " the hangover" on friday and i almost pee'd my pants. i loooooooooooooooooved it!

but to more exciting news... found out from Rai that MAC is having a 25% off sale. WTF? im so mad that this sale came during my 2 month ban. ahhhhhhhh, im only like a week into my 2 months and MAC has a sale. oh, the devestation. but i hope everyone takes advantage of this awesome sale! its going on June 16, 17 and 18. use online code: SUMO. online only, not available in stores. US & Canada only. thanks for the info Rai :)

so i've had my large black & khaki Coach Carly for almost 2 years now, and i loved it! its such a great bag and i love the style but it has a serious manufacture defect. it began to fray sometime last year and i thought it was normal wear and tear but i researched it and its a serious issue. so serious, that Coach is offering full price exchanges on any Carly thats fraying. i've known about this since october but i sat on it, cause i didnt want to give up my Carly and Coach really didnt have anything worth exchanging my beloved bag for. but i went into Coach on saturday with my Carly and my fraying has gotten progressively worse and you shouldve seen the horror in the SA's eyes. haha it was so bad, i knew it was time to exchange it. so here is my new baby :)

meet miss Madison Julianne. she comes in a variety of colors but i chose silver. shes so soft and i love her. what sold me on this one was her beautiful lilac fabric lining.
i also cleaned my room! wooohooo. i installed my new full length mirror and i love it. i shampoo'd my carpet with that new carpet shampooer i bought my daddy. its fucking awesome, if you're in the market for one the bissell proheat x or whatever its called is the best! and i did all of the laundry that was piling up in my closet. totally successful weekend.

& my summer classes start today, yay!

HAPPY NATIONAL DONUT DAY!

so i dont know if anyone actually celebrates Nation Donut Day, hopefully yall went out and got some free donuts! i celebrated in all kinds of yummy goodness :) i didnt get them for free, but whatever im satisfied. HAPPY FRIDAY YALL

this week had definitely been exciting. my boyfriend is finally getting his car, no more sharing and im so excited! we just signed all the paper work yesterday and he will have his car by tuesday. he is seriously all giddy about it like a little girl. its so cute. i need to upload the pictures we took at the dealership.

i also went to work out last night, my first work out in two years! it was killing me, im so out of shape. but i really need to get my beach body back before we go on vacation. & now i have a buncha people to work out with, so i need to develope a work out plan! i do plan on going to the gym atleast once every other day or 3 times a week. haha does anyone have any tips on working out your tummy. im developing a pooch, and that is definitely not cute in a bikini.

while i havent been buying any makeup or beauty related products i did have a MASSIVE hual at home depot. haha yes, home depot. Fathers day is June 21st (16 more days) and i had to get my daddy a present. i ended up buying him a carpet shampooer, and he loves it. so what are you getting your fathers?

here are my plans for the weekend:
- watch " THE HANGOVER " tonight
- Bar Mitzvah on Saturday
- Summer Bridal Fair on Saturday
& i have lotsa cleaning to do this weekend.

FREE IS SO DELICIOUS

SAVING MONEY TIP #1: LOOK FOR DEALS

if you have to use a coupon or buy at another store to get a better deal, believe me its worth it! even if you are going to save 50 cents, thats more money left in your pocket and less money spent. im a firm believer in getting a good deal. i wait for sales to buy things, or i buy on ebay. i cut and slash my spending as much as i can. & just like anyone else i love free shit! who doesnt!? so apart of my 2 month challenge, i've promised to not buy anything, so i need to explore my other options: giveaways and contests!

thank goodness for blogger giveaways and contests. there are so many generous bloggers out there and i seriously enter every single one i can. cause if i cant buy anything, then imma try to win beauty products. i figured its a good way to save money and help me resist the temptation of buying. and everything has been going go so far, lets see how long i can keep this up.

CURRENT GIVEAWAYS I'VE ENTERED:
- Naritas giving aways 3 prizes & theyre all MAC. how fabulous is that!?
- Mayaari is giving aways 2 great prize packages, so definitely enter this one!
- Chrystina is giving away NARS celebrating her 100 followers. fucken NARS! amazing :)

so yall know the drill: follow, enter & good luck loves.

SAVING MONEY TIP #2: EAT OUT LESS

i love to eat. whether its a full meal, a snack on the go, whatever and im super bad cause i always eat out. but everyone knows that food is pricey, your daily coffee or nights on the town can really add up and seriously hurt your bank account.

so a main part of my 2 month challenge is to eat out less, and if i do eat out then try not to spend too much on each meal. this week so far i've only bought lunch once cause i had lunch with Jon & it was less than $20 for both of us. for the rest of the week i plan not to eat out at all, i have a buncha snacks at work and i can always bring a lunch.

but what about those days where you just crave something? lately i've been wanting sweets, not like candy and chocolate, more like cakes and baked goods. i have a serious love for baked goods. but i dont have any stocked at the house and i dont want to go buy any. so what do i do?

lucky for me, this friday is NATIONAL DONUT DAY :)
im so serious too! haha and most donut places are celebrating the right way by giving away free donuts!

DUNKIN' DONUTS is joining in on the festivities by giving away a free donut with any beverage purchase on friday. i've personally have never had their donuts, but free is always good right? just sucky that you have to purchase a drink in order to get a free donut. i doo love donuts + hot chocolate! ahhh that'll make my morning so glorious.


KRISY KREME is also joining in on the fun by giving away 1 free donut per customer, no purchase necessary. & krispy kreme donuts are so DELICIOUS, but them being free will make that melt in your mouth deep fried deliciousness even better.

but if you cant wait until friday to get a sweet free treat, then you need to stop by SONICs tonight and get a free root beer float :) they're giving away a free 10 ounce root beer float from 8pm until closing at participating SONIC locations, so be sure to first call and make sure they're doing the giveaway.

the sucky part is Alaska doesnt have a Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme or Sonics. hahha its seriously tragic, but im sure i will survive. so if you have any of these placed near you definitely hit them up for some free shit :)
