I just went absolutely crazy at an outlet mall yesterday, so for this sale I focused mainly on the kids.

These are the only 2 things I ended up with, but the sale is worth checking out for sure.

Bliss Poetic Brow Shaping Sugar Wax (was $40 now $8)

I had to make an emergency post for this sale. I was just browsing my favorite stores for new Sweepstakes to add to my new sweepstakes blog and found this amazing sale at BlissWorld.com in the process! I'm on a major budget, so I had to practice a little self restraint here, but this is what I bought:


poetic brow shaping sugar wax
(seen on NBC's Today Show)
Was $40
Now $8

Savings of $32 bucks!





holiday plump pack
Was $60
Now $19

Savings of $41 bucks!







Bliss products are amazing. If you can fill your cart with $75, you can get free shipping. I decided not to go crazy and just pay the shipping, but if I wasn't on such a budget, it would be easy to make $75 and get a great value. You also get free samples with every order, so I ended up with a pretty nice haul for $27 + shipping.

70% off + $25 off $50 Code at NY&Company

New York & Company has been one of my favorite stores for a while. I don't care much for their casual line and jeans, but you really can't top their business casual and business attire for work. They have amazing deals when the seasons change. We are catching them in major clearance mode, and I've found a coupon code for half off!

Because I am "with child", I didn't buy any clothes this time, but I did grab a new bag and some accessories.

The code for $25 off $50 is 4179. This code might expire soon, so I highly recommend doing a quick search at the top of the page for nyandcompany.com to find current codes.

Baby "Peanut" is due on Novebmer 7. Everything is fine and dandy so far. Wish us luck!

Book Review: Brief Gaudy Hour by Margaret Campbell Barnes

I'm finishing up a really wonderful book called Brief Gaudy Hour by Margaret Campbell Barnes.

I've been on a British history kick due to my new found fascination with the Showtime Series "The Tudors". If you haven't caught the show, you can get the entire first season on Comcast "On Demand" (if you get Comcast cable) for free or download it on iTunes. iTunes Store TV Shows

For a full editorial review of the book, head to Amazon.com: Brief Gaudy Hour at Amazon.


The show "The Tudors" really depicts Anne Boleyn as a manipulative woman who traps King Henry VIII using sex to leverage power over him and alter his decisions. The author of this book has really done her homework for historical accuracy, while I'm sure there are fictional aspects throughout. Brief Gaudy Hour is a great love story about a smart woman coming of age in a world completely dominate by men and the prevalence of social position. We all know what happens to Anne Boleyn in the end, but the tale of how she ends up there is both inspirational and tragic alike.

While I have a link to Amazon above, you can find this book at a better price through Alibris.com. I paid cover price of $14.99 at my local Barnes&Noble (gasp!) because I was just in the mood to start a new book at that very moment, but had I been a little more patient, I could have nabbed this deal on a used copy at Alibris.com:

Used Copy of Brief Gaudy Hour - $1.99
Coupon Code: 'FRIGATE2' - (-$1.00)
Subtotal - $0.99
Salest Tax $0.07
Shipping $3.99
Total Cost $5.05

Gaiam.com Incredible Clearance + $10 Off Code

Swimsuit season started this weekend in Texas. Yuck! Some years are easier than others, but I've been a little stressed out and haven't been able to catch the diet and exercise stars in alignment since the holiday season.

I think part of the problem has been an unrealistic expectation of what I need to do to get on the right track. I think I've been stuck in the "all or nothing" mode, which is why I've decided to ease back into activity though walking. Walking will be good for stress relief as well.

As with any new endeavor, I simply had to go hunting for some fun bargains to support it.

The winning retailer today was Gaiam.com. They are having a spring sale with 20% - 70% off items in their outlet. Take a look at today's brag list -




Stretch Workout Kit
A low-impact way to keep fit

Walking Fit Kit

Clearance grab bag with pilates, toning and cardio

To get the $10 off code, you need to sign up for their newletter. They will then email the code to you.
