I had to stop at Goodwill on the way home from work last Wednesday night to drop off the stuff in the back of truck. Since I had to go inside, figured I’d look around as the place was CLEAN and very very neat & orderly! Surprise! Picked up a pair of white nautical pants and a coral color Liz Claiborne tank. They were $6 each. Wow. I thought that was expensive. Even the non name brand stuff was $4 or $5 each. So in addition to really cleaning the place up, they have raised their prices. They no longer do ½ off certain color tags either. Gal at register said new management, a lot of negative policies. Hmmm. Wonder what she meant by that? Think I may stick with Out of the Closet that goes to $1 on certain colors each month.
Freebies from girlfriend!
Last wednesday night my girlfriend came over for a while as we haven’t seen each other in a while. It was nice to see her! Cathy also brought over a big black garbage bag full of clothes! Woohoo! Wish I had known she was coming as I would have skipped shopping at Goodwill!
I got (thank you thankyou!) a new black bikini by dkny, along with a stretchy red skirt & a really cool black tank for coverups. DH has been on me to get a new suit before summer. I’ve been wanting to wait to lose a couple of pounds. The suit is a size 8, my size, but tiny. Oh well. May motivate me more to lose! Hehe.
Also, 5 cardigan, tank sets (all liz Claiborne), 3 dresses, just the flowing pull over types, 2 blouses, a really cool blue & white top which I’m wearing to work today with my new white pants, a Body by Victoria Secret bra (I know these things go for $50+ and it’s MY size, she won’t tell me how or where she got it … I KNOW it’s not her size!) and a few scarves which I may use as belts…and necklaces. The leather & beaded ones…I love those things. It’s like my birthday!! Woohoo!! Thank you thank you thank you! I’m a very happy camper.
Non Toxic Mosquito Spray
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs. Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly! Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what? It seems to work!!! I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee
