I know I don't talk about my nails much because there really isn’t anything to say.
I only paint my toenails because for some reason my fingernails don’t take to nail polish well. After the last manicure I got, which was on a bit of a whim, the nail polish started chipping literally as I was walking out the door of the nail salon. I'm not kidding. That's how it is no matter what nail salon I've gone to or nail polish I used for an at-home manicure.
I've been told by some that I should try gel polish or dip polish. I’m also not sure I want to try either of those because I know some people who have used them and it’s weakened their nails. My nails are already on the weaker side so I don’t want to do anything that could make them weaker.
Cue the Dashing Diva Gloss Nail Strips. I’d had my eye on them for a while and over this year bought a few packs when they were on sale.
We've all had our eye on one, two, or more hair and beauty products this year. It may be a deep conditioner or concealer from a specific brand that caught your eye but you couldn't justify spending that type of money on something that you may or may not like.
Well now is your time to give those products a try. Because the 2022 holiday sales are here (they started so early this year) and there are several hair brands, beauty brands, and stores that are having sales.
Once November first rolls around there are a lot of things I start to look forward to. Cooler weather (notice I said cooler, not colder weather), Thanksgiving, Christmas lights and decorations, NBA Christmas Day games, spending time with the fam. Oh, I can’t forget the many holiday parties.
I’m not really one for parties, but I’ll make an exception for ones during the holidays because they give me the opportunity to dress up and not feel out of place.
This year more than in other years it seems like the holiday sales and deals started earlier. That means more time to whittle down your gift list and more opportunities to save while doing it. One of my favorite places to gift shop is Ulta. Not only can I find great gifts there across several different price points but I can also find a few things for myself as well.
This year Ulta has several great gift sets and individual items that will make the receivers of your gifts very happy. When it comes to gift sets they come in a wide variety. They could be a limited edition product or a value set. And they typically come in pretty packaging. So you don’t always need to spend a lot of time wrapping them.
Here are my 17 top picks, all of them are $25 or less. Oh, and I threw in a few gifts for the guys as well.
I’ve been shopping at Sally Beauty for years. Mostly to just stock up on hair supplies every now and again.
One thing I’ve never shopped for there are gifts. Who knew that Sally Beauty was a good place to pick up some Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers? I know I didn’t.
Now that I look at Sally Beauty a little differently now I took some time to go through the website and find some great Christmas gift ideas. I’ve collected all of those gift ideas in this blog post. Keep reading to see what they are.
The countdown is on. Christmas is only weeks away. Black Friday is only days away. Thus we are in the middle of the Christmas shopping countdown.
For me, this isn’t an issue because we don’t do gifts anymore in my immediate family and I don’t buy gifts for extended family members mainly because there are so many people I couldn’t afford it. So I get that the more people you have on your list, the more stressful it can be. Not just for you, but also for your budget.
