This past weekend I had the privilege of attending my 2nd Getting Gorgeous event in New York City. It's a beauty event that is jam-packed with awesome sponsors and bloggers founded by two sweet, wonderful ladies Vera Sweeney and Audrey McCllellan. Let me start off by saying that if you've never had the honor of meeting Vera or Audrey, you're missing out. I'm not kissing their butt (well maybe I am...lol) but these two ladies are the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet. The first time I met … [Read more...]
Win A $4,500 Dream Room For Your Child From Littlebirdie.com
February 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I refuse to buy something that is regular price, even if it means waiting a few weeks until the item is on sale. I carry my coupon book filled with current coupons for the supermarket and stores at the mall. There's even a spot for local deals so we … [Read more...]

The Special K Team was there to launch their "What will you gain when you lose" campaign to help women get inspired … [Read more...]
