Practical Tips to Save for Vacation
We rarely have the opportunity to go on vacation. The last few years, my son and I have had to travel back to my hometown to visit family. My husband also had to travel out of state to take an exam.

I do the majority of my shopping online. It is easier because it saves me time and money. I also earn cash back on the purchases that I make from my favorite stores.
Two weeks ago I received this email from Beyond The Rack informing me that I had $20 in free credit to use on their website. I was really excited because, well, $20? Free stuff? No-brainer!
Beyond The Rack is a great website that features items for men, women and kids, maternity and plus size clothing items. I like that they have a wide variety of items such as clothing, shoes, health and fitness products and hand bags just to name a few. They also offer home decor items (holiday-themed stuff included). They have some fantastic Christmas decor available right now. You should definitely check this site out if you have a few minutes.
Holiday items start at just $4.99 and range on up to $189.99 and there are literally tons of affordable options. Supplies are limited, though, so once something is sold out, it’s gone! Go, now!!!

I’ve never been a big boot wearer. I believe I had a few pair of boots here and there when I was a child. I don’t remember wearing boots in elementary, middle school or even high school. I bought my first pair of boots about 4 or 5 years ago on Black Friday. I remember that specifically because I was able to get great deals by shopping online that morning.


I have a confession to make: I have never tried philosophy beauty products.
I have philosophy at my favorite beauty stores and featured on the shopping networks but I never know what to get. There are so many amazing products.

I have been lucky enough to be chosen for some really great missions for items that I was interested in purchasing, but hesitant to buy because I hate wasting money on products that I’m not sure I will like.

When I was presented with the opportunity to review a SUSU Handbag, I quickly signed up! I received the Allen – Two Tone Leather Tote Purple handbag to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
