New Beginnings

Hello All!

Sorry it has been a while. I would like to update everyone on what has been going on and what will be going on with this blog.

First things first...
My father is finally home! Although the stroke affected his right side and he still cannot walk, we are making due and giving the best effort possible. So, a lot of time is spent at home helping my mother with him and what not. But, this is GREAT news and makes me smile to know he is still alive!

I have a NEW job! I am computer operations at CityMade! I manage several Facebook accounts, make and send out e-mail blasts (I finally have control over some sales, this could be dangerous! lol), I update product on websites, run ads on Google, and all sorts of other fun things! So I will be posting things for my job here as well since I want people to be aware of what I do and I find it fun to know I control some highly populated Facebook accounts!

Now on to the deals...
I MISS SO MUCH couponing! OMGOSH! Life has been empty without it. But, family does come first, so it did have to take a step to the side. I feel I can start going back to it now since my father is home. Everything is just going in the right direction finally!

Please still visit all the links on the side for the most up to date information and freebies! As I still have some catching up to do!

I just did join a SheSpeaks event for a Philips Light thing to help me wake up, so I am excited to receive that kit in the mail and to tell you all how that went!

BzzAgent has been great to me as well! Bil-Jac dog food, I definitely recommend for your animals! Good price range and good quality, none of that filler stuff!


Let's get ready for some fun!

Store Lists for 7/10 - 7/16 and UPDATES

I do apologize for the hiatus again. Family problems have arose, my father is still in the hospital, but things are looking up! I just ask that everyone please keep him in your prayers and thoughts for a full recovery. It is a scary thing when one of your loved ones enters a troubling time, but I know it is a long haul, but time will allow for great things to happen!

Many things have been happening in my life! Great improvements in my relationship! I have never been happier with my boyfriend! One of my best friends is going to be having a baby in less than 1 month! Her baby shower is tomorrow so I have to go shopping today! I am very excited to gather some goodies for her and of course pick some nice things off her list! I am actively looking for a job that fits my career. This is probably the hardest yet. Not too much going on here in Buffalo, so I have been looking towards Florida, we will see!

I also signed my boyfriend up for PineCone Research. We just got our first product test and very happy to try that out for them! I cannot wait to this hits stores, yous all will be excited!

I have also tried out the John Frieda Precision Foam Color. I had to use the one color twice to cover my roots, but keep in mind I am BLONDE, so I figured this would happen. I am happy with the results and I plan to grab the lighter color next time so that won't happen to me again.

I have updated this account with an e-mail so I can start e-mail posts from my phone as well, so get ready for more fun!

I did the BzzAgent TRESsemme Color Revitalize product test. I really liked it a lot. It actually helped my color look a lot better!

I also redeemed my free Suave coupons. The dry shampoo is a MUST! Smells SO GOOD and works so well!
