Confession #35 Who Said Guy's Can't Thrift?

My boyfriend recently went to the Apple store to purchase a desktop. When purchasing MAC computers, it is recommended you set it up in the store. Because of how busy it was, there was no available representative to assist him after he purchased it. Soon or later, the manager pulled in a representative from the back to assist him. While the representative was helping him setup the desktop, he noticed the representative never looked up at him. The rep began to fiddle around for the keyboard and that's when he notice the rep was blind.  His first thought was why out of all the customers in the store, he ended up with the blind rep. He began to get a bit frustrated. The rep never once made reference to his blindness. Once the rep began working...

Confession #34 Spring Inspiration (1)

So Spring season is only like tomorrow and I'm overly excited about current trends new designers are putting out that we can easily look for at a cheaper cost! I'm not cheap, just like shopping on a budget! And why spend $50 on a designer blouse that I can find one similar for half the cost? I'm all for supporting designers and when I have it to splurge I most definitely will. However, for us commoners, we most times just can't simply afford to splurge as often as we would want. Featured below is DANNIJO brand that I absolutely adore! Something new to look for the next time I shop! "It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming...

Confession #33 ‎:: Hump Day Motivation::

Quote from Dr R.A. Vernon: " Never follow someone who's not already following someone" Everyone needs someone they can look up to; whether it's for advice, encouragement, support, or whatever the case maybe. Especially for new entrepreneurs. Find yourself a mentor. Be careful how you choose those that you admire, follow, go to for advice/constructive criticism, or support. Following and listening to the wrong person will lead you down the right road to failure. Have a blessed Hump Day ♥ 's Featured below is the new and upcoming blog, Thrifty Threads, that also loves to thrift and share their compassion for Christ! A Little bit about them:Thrifty Threads was inspired from an article written by Domonique Davis for the non-profit...

Confession #32 Valentine's Day Dedication

To find the ideal marriage to model or look up to is very rare these days. It seems as if society has gotten away from the meaning of marriage and what it means to love. Most of all, society has taken the most important ingredient out of what makes a relationship or marriage whole: Christ. As I stated in an earlier post, if your relationship with God is not whole, how can you expect for your earthly relationship to be whole? Raised in a single parent home, I struggled with the aspects of the male and female relationship. Never quite understood either role in a relationship. However, what was presented to me gave me a better understanding of what I didn't want. Knowing what I didn't want still did not give me the answer to what I wanted, until the day I met this couple. Being around this couple...

Confession #31 Recycled Winter Trends for Spring/Summer 2012

 Wide Leg Pants has always been a great trend to carry to each season. Be careful with the type of fabric chosen and choose a pair that agrees with heat. Pair this with a bright colored top and your favorite wedges. Bow Tie Blouse is another thrifty trend that can be worn in Spring and found in many consignment shops. This would go great with a basic pair of high waisted shorts for a fab spring trend. Blazers can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occassion. Better to wear when you know you will be inside like maybe for a church, dinner date or after party. The new style of Ankle Boots are a def must for Spring/Summer. There are so many options to how they can be worn, you would be crazy to throw these in the...

Confession #30 Star Status

It's amazing how many of us make new years resolutions decreaing that we are going to give more of ourselves to God than the year before and actually do good for the first few weeks of the year. We then go on a fast hoping to gain some sort of super natural blessing from God, only to go back to living life as before. Granted, we can not judge others attempt to change because we are all struggling with different issues. However, the more you are expecting from God, the more you should be willing to give. Through fasting, we are telling ourselves no only to say yes to God, which requires sacrifice, change, and action. We have to do more than confess his word, but live by his word.  James 1:22-25But be doers of the word, and not...
