It's Frugal Friday!

So in case you didn't know, the count down to Black Friday is about 13 days away! (and only 8 days until my BIG HOLIDAY EVENT!)

While some of us laugh on our couches as we watch the nightly news about all the people sitting in line for 12 hours to save $50 on a laptop or camera, some of us make a tradition with friends and family every year to plan out our route to hit all the best deals in town! I would be one of those on the couch, but not laughing, just watching of course! ;)

This week, I wanted to bring everyone to a site that I discovered that details the stores that are participating in "Black Friday", and that have either given out there deals early, or who have had their deals accidentally leaked out!

This Daily Deals site is dedicated to Black Friday, and considering we are quickly approaching the day, I wanted to give those who are interested, enough time to soak in all the info that is on the site before the big day.

4 Years Younger in 4 Weeks

Class #1 - Your Skin     Session #4 - Identify your Skin

Depending on the type of skin that you have whether it is dry, oily or a combination of the two, you will need to care for your skin differently

Dry skin needs to be washed each day with a mild cleanser and then will need to have a heavy moisturizer applied to the skin to help keep it from drying out during the day. 

Oily skin will need to be washed with a mild cleanser, just like dry skin, but instead of putting a moisturizer on your skin during the day, do it only at night. This way your face can have moisture at night and not look so oily during the day. 

Combination skin will need a light moisturizer to help balance your skin giving it a healthy glow.

Don't forget about our Microdermabrasion! 15% off is still good for a limited time!. Look years younger instantly, GUARANTEED!


Gift ideas!!

Now, up until Christmas, I want to feature cool and interesting gifts that I come across that you may find interesting, or who knows, want to buy for yourself or someone else. The first item I found is this cool coffee table book. While the game war is pretty well grasped by everyone, including my four year old, other card games can use a refresher every once and a while. So, if you or anyone you know is an "old school" gamer, this is for them!

      Before I go, please check out the poll question for this week (just to the right) I want to know : Who spends more time in the bathroom at your home. You, your spouse/partner, or about the same! Take care everyone!

Class #1 - Your Skin     Session #3 - Go Green!


Remember to eat your greens! Any food that is green and fresh is ultimately good for a healthy skin tone!

I've learned that the key to great skin is not always what you put on the outside of your body, but also what you put into it! Look at your skin, hair, and nails and you can very often tell if you're eating right. Is your skin soft and moist or it is dry and rough? If you don't feed the body's largest organ what it needs to look its best, you'll look older, rather than youthful .  Broccoli, Spinach and Brussels sprouts are good! These foods are high in Vitamin A and C. Another interesting good green food is hemp. It is high in Omega 3 and can improve the look and feel of your skin and hair! 

Did you know, that a deficiency of Vitamin A causes flaky/dry skin, and can cause skin to break out/acne?

Holiday Hint: If you want to know what one of your family members or friends would like for the holidays, and they have a Pinterest page, take a look without them knowing. Typically we will put things we wish we had there. So no more asking what someone wants or needs, now we have a sheet sheet!

Speaking of Holidays, check out my current Irresistible Offer, either for yourself, or for a gift!

Session #2

Look after your skin! Do not clean your face with soap and water but with a proper cleanser (morning and night) so that it dissolves all the make-up on the face and cleanses it properly. Always make sure that you remove your make-up every night as one night leaving it on can age your skin eight days. After cleaning your skin make sure that you moisture it so that it keeps your skin hydrated and younger looking.

Hope everyone got to the polls! I heard there were a few cases were some curious toddlers pulled the plugs on some of the voter machines. Really glad I dropped the boys off at grandmas house today!

IT'S FRUGAL FRIDAY!!

A new idea I had, was that every Friday, I would mix it up by giving you an idea, deal, or coupon that may make your life a little cheaper this week, month, or year!?!

I will make these short and sweet, so you can get on with the rest of your Friday, and plan for the weekend ahead!

Today's issue is how to save money on up coming clothes purchases. Not sure if you are aware of Saveology.com or not, but right now, you can buy gift cards at half off, for first time shoppers, for OLD NAVY!

Not sure if you shop there, but if you have shopped there, or know anyone who does, this is a great deal!

That's all!

Have a great weekend!

WELCOME TO TOPIC #1 of Lesley's Beauty Insider Circle

Topic 1  How to Look 4 Years Younger in 4 Weeks!  (+ Pre holiday tips!)

Session #1 – Our Skin

While some of these are common sense, just look at them as friendly reminders! In order to get the clearest skin on the outside, what we put onto and into our bodies has a tremendous impact.

Cutting out or reducing the amount of toxins that may damage it is huge - these include alcohol, smoking, the sun and even caffeine. A high intake of such toxins can dehydrate your skin and increase the risks of fine lines and wrinkles. While the sun is our friend in many ways, it also can be the most damaging to us!

Pre - Holiday Tip #1

Don’t eat all the Halloween candy – save it for Christmas or the holiday you celebrate. (Stocking stuffers, candy to have in the house while hosting holiday company, etc.)

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas, already?

Every year, you hear about the Christmas season getting long and longer, and depending on who you ask, that may or may not be a bad thing.

For some, it infringes upon other holidays and other life events that people feel are being over looked because of the time of year it falls in, but for some, it is a very welcomed guest. To this point actually, there was a study done sometime earlier this year, about people going on vacation. The study showed that people enjoyed their time anticipating the vacation, about as much as the vacation it self, and once it was over, the drop off from enjoyment was quite steep. This must be why people like to start thinking about and celebrating Christmas well before the 25th.

I guess I am not taking a side here, but have become more understanding of why their are two different sides to this never ending debate and why they feel the way they do. Next up, I would like to ask you who are you voting for for president and why? Just kidding, not going to go there!


The Perfect Halloween Costume for only $500,000!

While most parents have their children's costume bought and ready to go by now, that is if you have small children, some may have been to busy and just haven't had the time yet. For those who haven't, you are in luck. There are lots of very popular costumes out there that you will see pop up year after year that you think maybe to dress yourself or your little ones the next year. Some of the costumes that come to mind are ghosts, super heros, princesses, various animals, and  the "Super Mario Brothers" just to name a few. Another very popular costume, for girls, is Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. It was mentioned on the news today that the original dress that Judy Garland wore in the movie is going on auction for $500,000! Not sure about your bank account,  but I will have to pass this time around. Plus, It was noticed that on the dress was a pretty good sized stain. It's too bad that in real life you can't take back a stained dress or shirt to the store and make a profit! Having a 1 and a 4 year old, I would be one rich mommy!


Vitamin D Alert!

Just a reminder ladies. That we need to start providing our bodies more Vitamin D starting now due to the lowering rates of Ultra violet light that our bodies need to produce the vitamin. Whether you take supplements or drink milk, it's important to keep up with this vital vitamin. It will do a body good!
