Life on a Budget
I LOVE The Children Place. I think they have great prices and nice clothes anyway but I especially love it when they have sales. They have their Monster Sale going on with 50% select styles. www.childrensplace.com
Look for the “Monster Sale” banner towards the bottom of the main page. They have sunglasses for kids for $1.50, $2 flip flops, jean shorts for $7.25 (for big boys) and more.

I know some of you have seen information lately about CSNstores.com. I decided to check them out. Looking through CSNstores.com I saw an array of products. Just about anything you might be looking for, for you home like lights for instance. My husband and I are always looking for cost effective ways to improve our home, lights are an easy and cost effective way to increase the look and warmth of the inside or outside of your home. When adding outdoor lights it can also increase the safety of the outside of your home. Walkways are more visible. You’re able to see who’s is coming toward your house. Your children can play in the backyard just a little longer with a good flood light. Set the ambiance of your outdoor pond or garden with accent lights. There’s a lot of things that adding lighting to your home can do. They don’t have to be expensive to serve the purpose.
My husband and I were talking about wall sconces in our foyer. I think these ones from www.csnlighting.com/
are beautiful and inexpensive.

These are only a couple examples of csnstore.com’s great lighting selection. www.csnstores.com has over 200+ stores to choose from. If your looking for say, toys for your child’s upcoming birthday, they have that.
Maybe your looking at meeting your fitness goals and want to look at exercise equipment. Yea, they have that too.
Me I’m in the market for a new 2 quart saucepan. I used the only 1 I had to make candles now I can’t use it to cook in. Though, it’s going to be tough choosing since we also need an exhaust fan in our bathroom and this one is just too cute in the lights section.
Stop in to http://www.csnlighting.com/
or any of the other 200+ stores that www.csnstores.com has to offer. You’re sure to find what you were looking for. Or maybe something will find you.
Have you added lighting somewhere inside or outside of your home? How did it change the look and quality of the space?

The Frugal Free Gal has a great tutorial on how to make a free blog signature. I’m still gonna mess around with mine and see which style I like best but you can see an example at the bottom of this post. If you want to create your own you can go to her post: http://frugalfreegal.blogspot.com/2010/06/create-free-signature-for-blogger.html
It took me all of 3 minutes to do. thanks!
I have Straight hair, well mostly. It has a mild wave to it. I love the smooth sleek look that a lot of the celebrities have. The straight hair that looks so smooth and shiny. My hair does not cooperate. It seems no matter what product I use it didn’t give me the look I was going for OR if it did it only lasted for about, oh, 20 minutes or so.
To be fair, I’m not what anyone would call a hairstylist. I’m lucky if I can put my hair in a straight pony tail (seriously). When bzzagent.com offered the got2b smooth operator hair campaign for their members I jumped on it. I’ll try it. What the hay, it can’t work any worse than other product I’ve tried. Plus, I was getting it for free. One thing I like about bzzagent.com. they want you to pass the word about the product. Good or bad, they want to know.
With some skepticism I tried the got2b smooth operator Smoothing Lustre Lotion product. I have to admit, I don’t hate it. In fact, I rather like it. It made my hair feel smooth and silky. In this 85% humidity and 85 degree weather we’ve been experiencing in PA recently…my hair is not frizzy. My hair is actually straight. I love it.
The got2b smooth operator hair products are in cute girly containers. I love the little charm on the side of the Lustre Lotion. The Smooth Operator line says it’s “infused with cashmere” and “helps to protect against damage form heat styling and contains a UV protectant”.
