Having an Extreme Couponing moment...

Hey dolls! Sorry I been gone for so long.. I know I am seriously behind on blogging/Youtubing. Been so busy this past two months with traveling and family in town. Haven't had a minute to really just sit and catch up. >.< exhaustion!

So just wanted to share some of my couponing moments I've done this past few weeks. I won't call myself an EXTREME COUPONER just yet because I am no where close to these ladies on (TLC Extreme Couponers) but I am definitely a Coupon Diva! Having 3 little ones and being a family of 5, it only makes sense to SAVE. Why not? Especially with the amount of freebies I have earned, it makes it easier in my bank account. ^__^

Some of these items were pretty much close to FREE (example below). Usually in my trip to Target, I try my best to double if not triple my coupons and get the best deal possible. You can use (1) manufacturer + (1) store coupon (example: target printables on their website) per item.

So below I have posted some photos of the trips I have made to Target and CVS. I also show a receipt to one of my target trips to PROVE that this is FOR-RRREAL!!! :)

(P.S. John Frieda hair color and shampoo/conditioner is Fantastic! I am hooked!!!)

passion for fine Jewelry...

Hello My lovelies :)

So lately I been really into jewelry, which isn't anything new. The difference is that I have found a new love for fine jewelry. Not like REAL DIAMONDS or anything extremely precious or extravagant. I been always getting most of my fashion accessories from typical stores like Forever 21 etc... and I have to admit it's cheap, affordable and trendy. It's just only reasonable to get things that are $2.50-$5.00. You can get so many pieces w/o spending a fortune. Who wouldn't love that? hehe

So with that being said, I never really ventured out into buying other high end jewelry because the fact that it was out of my price range. (duhh) lol well Thank you online world for deals, convenience and best of all.... *drum roll* C.O.U.P.O.N C.O.D.E.S
ahh~ what life would be w/o em. I'd probably kill myself. Definitely can't live w/o a deal... esp when you're so used to buying things on a deal. keke
It really pays off in the end when you spend a little more for nicer jewelry. It def won't fade or tarnish or even break on you. So you'll end up wearing it for a longer period of time, unlike F21 that are like disposable jewelry. ( ha ha )

Okay sorry for the rambling.. on with the main idea. I've found a new line of jewelry that I have fallen deeply in love with. Amrita Singh. It is an Indian inspired look of jewelry line that consists of New and Old world designs. The pieces are just to die for. I love how wearing just one piece of jewelry can really help your outfit/overall look make a bold statement. Especially when they're made out of precious stones!!!

The jewelry pieces range in prices of $25-$12,000+ it's outrageous haha but just when you think " sigh, I will never be able to afford this... hopeless.." think again!!! There's an awesome clearance sale going on now. Prices are almost more than half off the original and you can shop by price, which makes it easier to find. Along with that sale is the PROMO going on now until Mother's Day I believe. I apologize in advance that I am posting this in such short notice. (sorry x100) but it is not too late. You still have two more days left.

Use promo code "MOM11" (min purchase $75) to get 50% off Entire ORDER!
(don't be intimidated by the $75 minimum order bc the 50% is applied AFTER)

example: you add a necklace that costs $100, you'll be qualified for the d/c then it'll deduct the 50% off which comes out to a total of $50.00. FAB!!
Shipping wise, mine came out to be Free (on the website it says free shipping on qualifying orders of $150+) not sure why mine was Free bc it was def under $150. Oh and no TAX. YAY!

I will post a photo of my order just so I can prove that is Promo is REAL :)
I'm not quite done w/ ordering.. think I might add a few more haha but this is a current look at what I've got in my cart.

check out this site if you're a jewelry lover like me!
www.amritasingh.com

If you own some pieces from this line already, please share which ones you have or even ones that you have in your wishlist! I'd love to hear feedbacks.

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!!! Don't forget to show appreciation to all your Moms for the hard work they put into raising us.
<3 hugs <3

xoxo,

For those who have been dying to get this and been iffy about it bc it's so expensive... this is the time to grab yours. You're getting a major d/c along w/ fabulous gifts. I know alot of other sites may have d/c codes n deals but I think this one is far the best!!! Hands down!

I truly recommend this product to everyone and anyone (including men)!
This product has become my HG (holy grail) skin care product. I couldn't possibly wash my face w/o it. It has definitely improved my skin in many ways I couldn't imagine. Everyone who owns a Clarisonic know's exactly how wonderful this product is. Gotta try it to believe it. I noticed a difference in the first try.

Taking care of your SKIN is a must and comes first before anything else like makeup etc... Great skin leads to flawless makeup application! Remember to ALWAYS wash your face morning and night and follow up with a daily skin care routine. You might be youthful and feel no need to make an effort now... but there's no such thing as "Never aging". Prevention is the KEY to beautiful skin.

check out their main website for more detailed info on their products.

It's "REAL"! :)
