Shop Small

I LOVE supporting small businesses (maybe because my mom has always had one?). Don't get me wrong, I love Target, Old Navy and other big name stores too but it's always nice to support an entrepreneur. With sites like Etsy and Instagram, it's easier these days to find small businesses. This year, for Black Friday, I decided to only shop small. 

My small business is Lifting Lettuce.  I am a health coach offering 1:1 health coaching programs as well as detox programs. I help women adopt healthier habits, ditch the negative mindset and change the way they look at weight!  I currently have gift certificates for sale if you're interested!  I also sell trusii products and they have an EPIC sale going on now until Monday at midnight PST with 25% off everything and special discounted skincare bundles.  If you're not a preferred client, feel free to email me and I will get you the hook up (it's free).

Check out these great small businesses! Many have sales going on this weekend too!

Walking Old Navy Ad

Run, don't walk, to Old Navy and buy this top for only $4.99 on clearance! I only paid like $6 something so I don't feel too robbed after purchasing it last week. haha It is so soft and comfortable!  If they had some black/white or maybe navy/grey combos I'd totally pick up another. I love the length an overall fit. 

I feel like I'm starting to see a difference in my body with my clothes on. I've been working hard at the gym! Two areas I'm really trying to improve are my hamstrings and shoulders/back.

It has been a stressful week, continuing into the weekend. But I hope you all have a great weekend/Easter! 

For Sale

Two manicures sees to be the norm for me these days! I also realized I'm pretty sure I've only bought one bottle of polish so far this year! That's pretty awesome considering I used to buy multiples bottles a week! Polish addiction has been broken. Not say I don't still love and enjoy the hobby, I have just cured that desire to buy buy buy and I'm happy about that. I have just over 200 bottles of polish and have no desire to raise that number so I keep trying to sell/give away some in order to make room for the new.

First look is featuring this little mini polish from Walgreens that has no name. I got it in a Halloween clearance pack. I was hoping it would be this opaque hot pink but nope, it's quite sheer. Still, I really like the glitter. For a base, I used Zoya "Kimmy".

 Loved this look! The green shade is Sinful Colors "Mint Apple" which has a beautiful shimmer to it. The pink, not surprisingly, is Zoya "Shelby".  The glitter is Sparkles by Julie "Dots n Stripes".  She is actually closing her shop (ending her business) so her polishes are on sale right now! Only $2.50 for minis and $5 for full size!

Also, I will be updating my shop soon! Here are a few items that you will be seeing but if interested, feel free to email me. Prices are negotiable and shipping charges will be applied.

Sweater Addiction

 I can't stop buying sweaters! Actually, two isn't bad. There was a third but I returned it. I found some pretty good deals lately. I still want some rain boots, a new jacket/coat with a hood... but I'm trying not to buy myself much at all until Christmas.
