DSW Haul



I was on a hunt for a black cross body bag not for me but for my mother. Her birthday is coming up on January 28th and wanted to surprise her with one. She's been wanting a cross body bag to use when she goes out for the longest time. I went to a couple stores but couldn't find the right one and the right size. I went into DSW and browsed the purse section and spotted this black quilted Kenneth Cole Reaction cross body bag. It was the last one and it was just the perfect size. This bag has silver hardware and a long enough strap and GUESS how much it was? Dun dun dun... It was only $20!!! I was looking in the clearance area and found this small cobalt blue cross body bag which originally retailed for $24.95 but on sale for $17. Then realized it had a blue tag which meant it was an extra 70% off. Then I made it to the wallet clearance section and found 2 small wristlets which are great to just put in your id, cards, and money. These two were originally $12 but was on sale with a red tag which was an extra 50$ off. Two weeks ago I received a coupon in the mail for $10 off any purchase over $10 which made everything come to $32.00!!! I thought that was an amazing deal for two cross body bags and and two wristelets. I will be giving my mother both the bags and the nude wristlet for her birthday and I will be keeping the teal wristlet.

Nail Polish of the Day



Today's manicure I used a pastel green nail polish from the
brand Essie (Navigate Her) which looks so pretty and opaque.  Then I used a green nail glitter from BornPrettyStore it doesn't have a name or anything but I like the contrast the glitter gives.

Thrift Store GRAB - Crossbody Bag

I went to the a local thrift store today for the first time ever. I've been into DIY projects lately and just wanted to browse to see what this thrift store had to offer. I've seen lots of blogs and videos on how people find awesome things at a thrift stores so I definitely wanted to see if I would have any luck. Surprisingly, the one I went to had great stuff and you really do need to take your time looking through racks to find hidden gems. I didn't plan to buy anything during this trip but I couldn't pass this item up. I was in purse section and found this cute little crossbody bag hidden in the back. I've really been into crossbody bags and this is great one to add to my collection. I LOVE the this emerald green color and thought this would be a great pop of color to add to an outfit. Guess how much this was? Only $7.99 and it's in  awesome condition! It has gold detailing and the inside is very spacious. I'm so obsessed with this item, I'm so glad I found this!!! I can't to check out different thrift stores from now on and see what else I can find.

Nail Polish of the Day


Today's manicure is a different and new to me. I never used nail stickers before so I was excited to see how it would look on. The nail stickers I used were from the brand Kiss, the line is called Nail Dress. This line has many pattern and designs but the one I used were (KDS10) which is a fun leopard design. I received the nail stickers in my Holiday VoxBox (click here) which I featured in a previous blog post.  It was a very easy application so that was very big plus. As for actually painting my nails I used a Spoiled nail polish in the shade Bite Me.

Colombia Gifts

My father went to Colombia for about 2 1/2 weeks. This year I didn't get to spend Christmas or NYE with him so I was so happy to see him today. We did have an early Christmas celebration where we exchanged gifts but it's not the same actually seeing him on the day of. Even though I called him plenty of times, I was so happy to see him after his vacation. Before he had left to go on his trip, my cousin and I asked if he could bring us back cross-body bags from over there. My dad is not a shopper AT ALL and thought he would forget and just bring back bracelets like he always does. Surprisingly, he did an awesome job because I really like it. It's small but perfect to take anywhere where I don't feel like bringing a big bag. His girlfriends daughter sent me these fuzzy socks. They are so warm and you can never have enough fuzzy socks!


He also brought back lots and lots of Colombian snacks. These are just a few of the snacks but.... OMG so delicious. Every time anyone goes to Colombia from the family, they always bring back the best Colombian snacks and candy. I miss being over there so hopefully I'll have a chance to visit again. I just wanted to share what my dad brought back. THANK YOU DAD <3

BornPrettyStore.com Review


I've been getting into nail art design lately. I love glitter nail polishes so I thought this was a great deal to incorporate into a nail design. This set is called '12 Colors Nail Art Shiny Glitter Powder Sheets' (click here) from BornPrettyStore.com This set costs $6.45 which a great DEAL!!! This website is based out of China so shipping takes 2-3 weeks. I love the color selection of this set and how it appears on the nails. I already used this on one of my nail polish of the day posts (click here) if you want to check how it looks. The website also sells other nail art sets and equipment. I really do recommend this set if you love glitter accents on your nails and doing manicures at home. Have you purchased from this website before? Comment below

If you end up purchasing anything from BornPrettyStore I have a 10% COUPON CODE for you guys (HPCK31) to use if you guys want!!!

Drugstore Haul: Physicians Formula on SALE!


This week at Rite Aid store there is a Physicians Formula sale with all powders, blushes, bronzers, and concealers. If you send over $15 you get $5 in up rewards if you have Rite Aide rewards card. On top of that deal there was a $4 off coupon on the Rite Aid Facebook page to print out for the first 20,000 people. I never tried anything from the Physicians Formula brand until Marilyn sent me a blush and powder from them. I wanted to try some more products from this brand but always thought they were pricey for a drugstore brand. I researched this particular powder and saw nothing but good reviews. I couldn't pass up this sale so I wanted to try it out and bought it for less than $5. I didn't spend  over $15 because most of the products in this particular Rite Aid were all gone and not my shade. While I was there I also picked up two of my favorite shadow from Wet N Wild (Brulee) because I go through this so fast and use it daily.

Did you get any good deals with this sale?
