Dollar Store Deals

Have you ever shopped at one, a Dollar Store, or 99 Cents Store, as some are also called? I have and do on a regular basis! I always find some great buys there! Sometimes, I even discover things that I might have never thought of using, for my home or kitchen or even myself! Now those are always a great find for a curvy diva on a budget!

In fact, on my last trip, I scored Maybelline's New York Define-A-Brow in Dark Brown/Brun Fonce' - only $1!!

Maybelline's Define-a-Brow pencil - still a bargain for $5.69 at Drugstore.com

In the past I've scored Victoria's Secret lip gloss; L.A. Colors glossy lipgloss in Butterscotch; a variety of mascaras, and beautiful nail colors from Sally Hansen! You just have to know how and what to buy. I read an article at allure.com raving about what else? The Dollar Store!

Here are some of their tips on how to score amazing dollar store deals and what to steer clear of:

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Do you know who coined the word and how it came about? Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person! I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!
