I have been selling Avon for over five years, not so much for the added income but because of the products. Avon has been in business for over 125 years and that could not be so if their products were shoddy or if the sales reps did not enjoy selling. It’s like Christmas every two weeks when my order arrives because I only have a few customers and I spend my profits on myself -lol.
In today’s order was the Miracle Dress which I hope it performs on my body. Can’t wait to post it in an outfit of the day.

Tomorrow hubby and I will be celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary at our favorite restaurant in Newark. I will be wearing the blue dress that I purchased from Boscov’s and for the life of me I couldn’t remember if I had shoes to wear with it. Driving home I contemplated stopping at the mall but I didn’t want to spend a lot on a pair of shoes that most likely will be worn only a few times.
I drive by a Goodwill so I decided to stop and found 2 pairs of shoes for $4.00 each! In the past I would never have purchased second hand shoes but thanks to the recession that is no longer unthinkable.
Most times the shoes are gently worn or haven’t been worn at all and I make sure to thoroughly disinfectant them prior to wearing. I donate shoes to Goodwill all the time and there are times when women have tried on shoes in the department store prior to my purchasing them so it’s no big deal.
I spray and wipe out the shoes and straps while wearing plastic or rubber gloves, and for non-fabric shoes I use bleach and water.

Run don’t walk to Boscov’s for their latest “DoorBuster” deals!!! One of the many featured items are ladies maxi and knee length dresses for $19.99, and the selection is huge!! Also featured are select Preswick & Moore Separates for $6.99 each, this collection is versatile and is perfect for the workplace. There’s a large selection of summer shoes and sandals on sale as well as racks and racks of clearance merchandise marked 50-75% off. I purposely did not get a cart and could have spent all afternoon shopping but chose to use restraint and purchased only a few items which I will post later. On my way home I may stop at the Boscov’s in the Concord Mall but I prefer Exton because they have such nice cashiers, especially Edwin. This definitely was a great way to start the weekend and I hope you are having a wonderful FRI-YAY!!

Each time I shop at Dollar Tree I always find a new bargain, today it was French Baguettes and Twizzlers. My men loves this candy and it was a good deal because Rite Aid is advertising the same for $1.99. I am really looking forward to baking the French Baguette because bread is my weakness, I’ll post the results before I eat it!

Happy Thursday, and thank goodness that we on the horizon to the weekend! I’ve been watching some of the results of the 2012 Olympic games and losing sleep because of it so Saturday I will definitely be sleeping in. For today’s outfit I mixed a purple print because these floral sandals sat in my closet for over a year waiting for a solid match.

If you are like me, you are NOT ready for back to school ~ not ready for going back to the routines ~ not ready for going back to the early morning regiment ~ not ready to go back to the homework, tests and projects. I know this too shall pass, but give me just a few more months to adjust and I’ll be happy!
Malik will be a Junior in High School so all he needed was new sneakers, a jacket and shirts & other than a backpack and according to him a car (yea right) we are done. I don’t need to buy school supplies because I’ve have a full stock which was purchased in bulk at the end of the season at Walgreens.
August 28th is knocking at the back door – Malik is ready – mommy isn’t

Hubby was a bit more awake this morning so I gave him a second chance and with a little editing using Pixlr and PicMonkey today’s pics are better. The dog days of summer are winding down but the heat remains so today’s outfit is cool and comfortable for “Hump Day Wednesday” I had to alter the neckline of this thrifted dress with a few stitches because it was cut very low, however, it’s still a very feminine look. The rhinestone embellished sandals were purchased two years ago and are extremely comfortable and goes well with this dress. I am allowing my nails to breathe for the rest of the week so I am sans polish on my fingers and toes.
