<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thrift Tip</b> - If you see more than two or more of the same brand and same size while thrifting, take some extra time to look through the entire section! In addition to this skirt, I scored an additional Express Design Studio and 2 NY&CO skirts last year during a thrift trip to Goodwill for under 4.00 each!!</span></div>

First of all, I HATE wearing suits! Like really loathe having to wear a suit, I feel so boxed in. I received a three piece suit (jacket, skirt, and pants) when I graduated from NC A&T State University 5 years ago (OMG, it has really been that long). It's still in great condition but I've been longing for something more comfortable and classic and that didn't have me feeling stuffy and corporate. I paired these suit separates to tie me over before I make an investment in another power suit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THRIFT TIP</span></b> - Invest in quality suit separates and ALWAYS check the suit section in thrift stores. I've seen some really great Kasper and Ann Taylor suits (of course never in my size).</div>

How does a <b><span style="font-size: large;">fashionista </span></b>mom keep her preteen son looking fresh and fly? I shop clearance racks and kids sales all year round. I shop for him so much that this shirt has been in his closet since the summer and I can't remember for the life of me where I got it from, <b>SMH</b>. We picked up this jeans from Old Navy during their 50% Black Friday Sale. I really hate that its almost impossible to thrift shop for my son at this age (little boys are tough on clothes, thank goodness we are past the holes in jeans phase), but everyone once and a while I will come across some great pieces like this blazer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">THRIFT TIP</span></b> - Set a price point for items and purchases key items like jeans and jackets during the off season. My only splurge for my son is shoes and my limit is still $100 (which for me is still an almost heart attack)</div>

Last week Triad Goodwill had a 50% sale!! After a long day, I ventured into the N. Elm St, Greensboro location with $10 and a dream of finding some pants and holiday decorations. I was surprised to find that it wasn't that busy at all and there were still a lot great items. After spending about 45 minutes in the store with only a wreath in my basket I was about to give up when I spotted this Old Navy dress on one of the return racks, along with a like new Old Navy tunic!! #Winning</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THRIFT TIP: ALWAYS check the return racks when thrift shopping!! I've found some of the best items because it didn't work for someone else.</span></div>

It's almost the end of the year and one of my 2013 goals was to lose a few pounds and work out on a regular basis. I never expected when I finally got off the couch in May and joined a local Black Girls Run running group that I would be in single digit jeans by the end of the year. And I certainly never expected to be in single digit juniors jeans!! Now that I'm down to 150 lbs, the next steps are to tone and tighten for the new year. I started out today with my first day of boot camp at 6 am!! It's not too late, there's time left in 2013 to cross some of those goals off the list.</div>

are FREE!! I love when my friends and family think of me when they are cleaning out their closets, thrift shopping, or just happen to run across a great deal. My friend Chantae received a bag of clothes from one of her church members loaded with some fabulous blazers. She had recently shared her testimony of being homeless and living in a hotel with daughter and being blessed with a new home, so she gave back by donating clothes that she could no longer wear. This testimony was more of a blessing than a new blazer could ever be!! I encourage you to pay it forward this week, clean out that closet and give to someone in need (I already have my Goodwill donation bag in the car).</div>

<b>Bikini waxing</b> is the removal of pubic hair in and around the pubic region, commonly by women, by the use of wax. Simple definition, simple process right? The last time I had a bikini wax was years ago at a nail salon in the mall and to say the least the process was unpleasant and painful. I vowed to stick to a razor and never again to allow hot wax in or around my pubic region. Well, at least until I found a <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/beautiful-image-of-the-triad-4">Brazilian Wax Groupon</a></b></span> for half off at <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beautiful-Image-of-the-Triad/414000541969717">Beautiful Image of the Triad</a></b></span>. So here's the difference a bikini wax is just the removal of pubic hair that can be seen in a bikini, a Brazilian wax is the removal of everything, front to back. I was super nervous, but Morgan made sure that I was comfortable and talked to through the entire process. I made sure to take two ibuprofens 30 minutes prior to help with the discomfort. After the first couple of "swipes" (think ripping off a large band aid x 500) I just went to a happy place in mind. I expected to experience some discomfort afterwards, but I was able to get dressed, go back to work, and even ran 3 miles a few hours later. Will I do it again? Most likely, but I just can't see subjecting myself to a Brazilian wax every time. <br />

What happens when two thrift shopping bloggers come together, TRIAD THRIFTING! Last year I met <a href="http://www.fabellis.com/">FabEllis</a> during <a href="http://www.fabellis.com/2012/07/i-love-thrifting-day-event-recap.html">I Love Thrifting Day</a> in Raleigh, NC. Over the past year we've become great friends and wanted to bring the thrift shopping tour movement to Greensboro.</div>

Years ago, my <3 treated me to spa day at <a href="http://www.chakrasspa.com/">Chakras Spa in Downtown Greensboro</a> that included an organic sugar scrub that was "heavenly". I've searched for a similar at home scrub since then to exfoliate my dry, flaky skin. I was about to give up and make my own scrub after a Pinterest search when I stumbled across this Carol's Daughter 50% off sale at Belk. This product is well worth the 34.00 retail price!! First of all, it smells like german chocolate cake (minus the coconut). Second, a little bit goes a long wayyyy. I didn't have to keep scooping out a ton of product. Finally, it WORKS!! My skin was left feeling silky smooth and HYDRATED!! I didn't even have to use lotion afterwards. Even a few days later, I'm not using one squirt of Vaseline Total Moisture Lotion for my entire leg (normally it's two). Now the only thing I need to invest in is a massage therapist and a spa shower for the full spa experience. <br />
<br />
Carol's Daughter is a sponsor for <b><span style="font-size: large;">Curls Gone Wild</span></b>. I am so excited about this show coming to Greensboro next month . . .<br />

After 6 weeks of rocking braids, my curly afro is back!! I really enjoyed the convenience and versatility of braids and plan to get them redone in a few weeks, there's nothing like my own natural hair. It took me a little over 2 hours to remove my braids using MsVCharles method (see video below). Some of my braids were hanging on for dear life, so in order not to damage my natural hair I sectioned off no more than 4-5 braids at a time using her method. And finally I get a chance to try some products that I received at the Triad <a href="http://nnhmd.com/">International Natural Hair Meetup Day</a> hosted by the African American Art Store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I totally forgot just how much I LOVED Miss Jessie' products!!<br />
