Taking advantage of end of season sales

I love to take advantage of end of season sales.  Living in Maine as I do, I am always on the lookout for extra warm clothing to keep me warm and cozy for winter, which seems to be most of the year!  The only month of the year that I don’t wear thermal underwear is July!  (Ok, and part of August!)  The North Face is having a great clearance on a 700 fill down filled jacket for women that I am going to order.  I just saw that they have it on sale for men, too!  It is lightweight and folds up into its own pocket.  I am a big fan of down filled jackets!  I’m going to order one for me, and one for my hubby!  They offer free shipping on orders over $50, so I’m sure to get free shipping on them!

Humanitarians Visions

March 11, 2012

The current trend of vision for humanitarians is by far one of the best trends that I’ve heard of in quite some time. There seems to be a growing number of eye wear businesses that are offering all types of glasses at a more affordable price then in the past as well as donating a pair of glasses to people all over the world who can’t afford their own because of poverty limitations.

Warby Parker is one such humanitarian and I wanted to take advantage of my blog to try and promote this company. You can check out more about Warby Parker and his business at Warbyparker.com and see for yourself what you can not only do for yourself but for someone in much dire need as well. The prescription glasses that you can order from them are only $95 with free shipping. You can go on their website and use their virtual eye glass try on feature and see if there is something there that you just can’t live without.

South Park

I was never much of a South Park fan when it first came out. I dated a guy once that was just a freak about that show so I watched a good amount of the episodes for a couple of years and became a bit more tolerant to their crude sense of humor. But after we broke up I never had the urge nor the opportunity to watch South Park for a good long while. Well last night I was surfing for something to just have on while I puttered around the house, just some background noise you know. I some how landed on South Park and found myself sitting down and chuckling at those same old characters that I enjoyed so long ago. I just might have to start watching it again.

Next Christmas

March 9, 2012
by Monica

This year I am going to make sure that I have the perfect photo taken of me and my critters to send out for next year’s Christmas holiday card sending tradition. Each year I have been receiving some of the nicest looking and cutest Custom greeting cards that I really hate to throw away when January finally rolls around and all of the holiday decorations come down and get packed away for another year. If I was the arts and crafts kinda gal I would save them all and do something arts and crafty with them, but alas I’m just not into that type of stuff, at least not at this point of my life. I have enough things that I just can’t let go of that will probably never get used again so adding another pile into my all ready over flowing basement is just out of the question.

Anyways this year I really want to send out a good looking Custom greeting card, the type that people feel quilty about throwing away in January, much like myself. I have plenty of time to get a good photo, but I know that if I let it slid too long that I’ll just let it slip in between the numerous cracks that always wind along and find their way to my door. I did get a new camera for my birthday that I should be practicing taking pictures with, sounds like I’ve got work to do all ready for next Christmas.

Fashion Statements

March 6, 2012

I think that jewelry adds a finishing touch to an outfit.  Part of the jewelry that I like to use includes a nice watch.  I like to be able to tell what time it is no matter where I am, or what I’m wearing, and I hate to wear a bulky cell phone around my waist, especially when I’m “dressing up” to go out to a nice dinner.

That being said, I don’t like to spend a lot of money on expensive jewelry.  I much prefer buying costume jewelry and replica watches.  My budget simply does not allow for expensive luxuries like that.  But just because my budget doesn’t allow for the “real deal” doesn’t mean that I should dress like a pauper!  I think replica watches are great because they look so much like the expensive “big name” watch, but they cost so much less money.
