So I decided to visit my Rite Aid to pick up cough medication when I just happen to stop by the beauty section(:. And Guess what I saw on display?! NEW NYC MASCARA AND LIP STAINS. I am a die hard lip stain fan, no lie there. I decided to take pictures but one of the staff members saw  and told me to stop . So I was only able to get these photos! But, this means that they are going to be at your local drugstore soon ! Also, there are 4 types of mascara: Showtime, City Curls, HD lenghting, and HD volume !
Close up for the 4 types( Each one has a different tube color)

Holiday Gift Guides: Stocking Stuffers @ Bath and Body

           The holidays may be one of my favorite times of the year! The warm feelings, the magical decorations, the music, and lights. Its all so ....fairytale? I don't know the word, but its amazing. Another favorite activity during the holidays would be shopping. Only problem, is finding the perfect gift, with the perfect price range.  In my family, the stockings are the favorite part after lighting up our Christmas tree. Its like a goody bag filled with little treasures that can put a smile on their faces.
          Since, these stuffers are a small gift ; i don't like to spend over  10 dollars. Call me cheap if you want, but I like to like a bunch of small gifts and a medium one , than one huge gift. The More,the Merrier! Pleae note that there will be more of this series!

Places to get cute stocking stuffers:

Bath and Body Workshttp://www.bathandbodyworks.com/home/index.jsp
      This maybe be my favorite store for cute scents. They have a lovely holiday collection and those famous tiny anti bacterial hand gels called PocketBac.
Photo Credit to the website! 
     These PocketBac are on sale for 5 for $5 dollars. You could get one for the kids to keep them clean at school, for yourself, maybe even for your friends. They are have more scents that the ones shown in the picture; warm vanilla is a good one too! My favorite holiday one is the ginger mint; pure gingerbread men!

          Bath adn Body works also has  the best deals on candles. They got big ones ( the 14.5 oz) and they also got the 4 oz ones!  These candles last FOREVER !  and they smell doesn't fade away like other candles. They got candles that smell like winter and even ones that smell like cupcakes!
        If those didnt appeal to you, they still got travel size versions of their best selling lotions, even this really cute scentbug in a snowman! Also they got lip glosses for your girls ! Bath and body also got a whole gift section on their website so go check it out! I promise that you won;t be dissapointed !

Savings: Fall Home Decor !

                  I just stopped by my local rite aid and I saw these cute baskets on sale, in fact: 75% off! AND I WAS IN AWE ! 75% off? So i picked one up, and the cashier told me it was only a dollar! A dollar! Plus, it comes with a smaller basket as well! If you're looking for nice baskets that are light, check out your Rite Aid now !

                   If you're wondering what I would use baskets for; I came up with a list :

  • To hold my fruits and vegetables (Might motivate me to eat them!)
  • Fill with it with fake leaves and some fake acorns and you got yourself a centerpiece 
  • To hold yarn and other knitting tools so they stay in one place
  • To hold my bathroom shower gels, and scrubs 
  • Use during Easter holidays to hold eggs 
  • Giving it as a gift basket
  • Organize and hold old novels 
  • Use to carry your veggies from garden to home !
  • Hold school supplies so the kids don't place them everywhere
  • To organize my scarfs and socks ..etc.
  • So much more, can you think of some?
