Hello Kitty Extravanza at nomorerack.com!

I'm so addicted to this online shopping site! I got the last of my orders a few days ago and I'm extremely

pleased! I wore one of the dresses today. I bought two for my daughter, which I think she'll really like. She's

tall, so she'll have to wear some leggings with it, because moma believes in modesty. I was pretty in pink!

Well they are having a Hello Kitty Extravaganza that ends in about two days. Get up to 60% off on a Tin

Lunch Box that has cosmetics; handbags, cosmetic bag, backpack etc.  They're also having a big sale on

It's Monday Again!

Good Monday afternoon my fabulous readers! I hope that everyone has an awesome weekend and now it's back to the grind....

So here's some updates about the new products I've tried (these opinion are expressly my own, I purchased these products with my own money)....I gave my daughter the Yobaby yogurt and I don't think she's liking it all that well. She had a few spoonfuls, I would say maybe an ounce overall and that was it. It was the blueberry flavor. I highly doubt it will go to waste, because my teen daughter just got braces last week so, the yogurt will do her well since her mouth has been a little bit sore.

Her braces look really nice on her, she got 'pink' and they are a far more advance 'model' from the type of braces the kids used to get when I was growing up.

I also tried the Marie Calender's Flavor Steamers microwave dinners. I had the Teriyaki Chicken...oh my so good!! I still the the Sweet and Sour Chicken in the freezer which I'll probably have some time today or tomorrow, since the hubby is cooking today.

As I posted before I have been on a sweepstakes/giveaway/freebie mission. Hopefully, I can win a prize or two. sweeptight.com has some really nice giveaways, there's also a page on her blog where she lists giveaways on other blogs. I've signed up for a few freebies on freeflys.com and shopathome.com. For some reason my toolbar disappeared, which you will need to download this in order to enter some of the sweepstakes and sign up for the freebies. Also I like justmarriedwithcoupons.com, which hosts some really nice giveaways as well. If you would like, you can just click on the sweeptight button on my sidebar.

It will probably be a few weeks before my free items start coming in the mail, but as soon as it does, you know I'll be posting. Also, please feel free to follow me on twitter @afambuswmn. A few of the giveaways I have entered, I tweet about, which is also an option when you're entering, so that will be another way to stay informed of giveaways.

Well, let me get back to being busy. Until next post....BE BLESSED AND BE SAFE!

Black Friday....Deals or Death Trap?

Hello again. This is something that has been on my mind and I figured, why not blog about it. I just want to talk about Black Friday, which has apparently been in practice for many years now. It's the day where the stores advertises all of these great deals like 'buy a 3,000 square foot house for $150.00', well maybe not a house, but, I'm sure you get my meaning. I found an interesting read about the origin of Black Friday that I would like to share with you. Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)

Personally I think it should be called Black and Blue Friday with the all of the fights that break out over easy bake ovens and the last 46" TV (although they only had 10 to begin with). I've heard stories of people who have gotten trampled even killed on this day trying to grab up those items that they want to give as Christmas presents that are going either end up being taken back to the store or sit on a shelf collecting dust. Personally, I would rather snag up some 'black Friday' deals online instead of taking the chance of traffic jams, being trampled or getting into a fight over that 'last' 46" TV and I'm not a violent person. This is a frenzy that I truly want to avoid.

We went to Walmart yesterday and saw some of the items that would be included in the 'black Friday deals.' They were shrink wrapped in black plastic, labeled and had the prices. Now, I'm no math genius but it looked like there was not enough of one item to accommodate all of those people. For example, they had printers on sale, well it only looked like there was maybe 30 or 40 printers to go around. There was no way there was enough to accommodate the thousands of shoppers, so now you'll have people pushing, shoving, fighting, cussing, taking items out of another person's cart (yes, it happens) and I'm sure somebody will get arrested and still won't get the items they were fighting over. People were camping out for hours at these stores to try to grab up one of 20 blenders, and heaven forbid if they wanted more than one...good luck!

So, in closing, whoever you were able to get gifts for, I hope they truly appreciate it, because if you were one of the millions of shoppers in one store, I'm sure you went through hell and desert sand to put a smile on somebody's face, and if you were getting for yourself, I would use it until it just fell apart. So, until next post.....have an AWESOME day and please be safe out there.
