To: Myself, From: Myself

I know the saying is ” ‘Tis better to give than to receive”, but I’ve been finding REALLY great stuff that can really only be given to myself.  ;)   Plus, isn’t this the season to be jolly?  Because clothes and make-up make me jolly, regardless of who gives it to me.

So, since the fiasco of Black Friday, I have found some fabulous finds at great prices.  These retailers are still pumping out crazy-good sales, so you should definitely take advantage, whether you’re buying for someone else, or treating yourself to some goodies for fun.  Here they are, in all their glory.  P.S. Don’t judge me for my unprofessional-in-the-hallway pictures, I don’t have a cool camera, so my little Samsung had to suffice.

No Tax? Go Nuts!

People will do anything to get a deal.  They wake up early, wait in outrageously long lines, fight traffic, or maybe even fight each other.  In Florida, tomorrow starts TAX FREE WEEKEND.

Have you ever been in a bar where everyone is just hanging out, being mellow, and the DJ plays “Sweet Home Alabama” and everyone just loses it?  They scream the lyrics, spill their drinks, and make you believe that you might be the only person NOT from Alabama.  That’s what Tax Free Weekend reminds me of.

Thousands of people storm the mall and go crazy for what?  $7 per $100 spent.  So not worth the hassle right?  Not if you know what you’re doing!  Here’s a little advice:  This is not about saving your tax dollars!  A lot of stores run awesome sales for this three-day event, so take advantage!  Even if everything is 30% off, you can get $500 worth of everything you need for $350, and that’s pretty awesome in my book. Don’t get stuck on all the full-priced items, hit the sale rack!  Use your head and get your money’s worth.

So, if you’re choosing to indulge in the spirit of TFW, I hope you’ve been hoarding your cash because the more you spend, the more you save!  Happy shopping my fellow Floridians and don’t forget to be smart! :)

Write you soon,
