My Fall Splurge & Steal Revealed

By TheGlamtastic · September 16, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

You've probably heard me say this 100 times, but "we're on a budget." My studly husband is back at Columbia Business School for his second and final year. I am back to being the bread winner.


While he's in school, I've promised to limit my spending to one splurge per month, which is VERY difficult to do! It requires a lot of self-restraint, and I've found that it's best to leave all credit cards at home to avoid temptation. I am horrible at dieting, whether it involves giving up chocolate cake or limiting spending, but I am giving it my all.

 

However, I can of course "splurge" once in a while and still hunt for those beauty and fashion "steals" that rarely come around. After a rough day, I love to spoil myself with the little things, like a lip color here, a nail polish there.


I've just discovered my new September splurge! Okay, perhaps there is more than one...


What are your September splurges and steals?

Scent-a-mental with Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy, Love Etc. and Vera Wang Princess

By TheGlamtastic · December 14, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
I was fighting my way towards Saks this weekend, down a totally overcrowded 5th Avenue, hunting for a gift for my oh-so-fabulous 16 year old sister. What do 16 year old girls like, you ask? Well, let me tell you...makeup, boys, Facebook and texting.

Since my little sis has everything under the sun, I thought I'd get her the gift that no woman "needs", but every woman wants! Perfume of course!

Despite the recession, when it comes to gifts for a sibling, especially my oh-too-cool sister, I can't spoil her enough, so I ended up treating her to a few fabulous fragrances.

Viva La Juicy
Who doesn't love Juicy? My sister lives in the velour sweatsuits, the super cute shorts and tight tees...the list goes on. Now, I've introduced her to the latest Juicy must-have - Viva La Juicy. It's an exciting and enticing scent of fresh berries. mandarins, honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine. It finishes with touches of caramel, amber, vanilla and sandalwood. This fragrance is sweet and addictive. She LOVES it!

Love Etc. by The Body Shop
This light and lovely fragrance is composed of Jasmine, Vanilla and Sandalwood. It's sweet enough to capture that first kiss, and light enough to be worn everyday. Apply a spritz for a light hint of scent or a few for a more intense fragrance. LOVE that!

Vera Wang Princess
This holiday season, what girl doesn't want to feel like a princess? Vera Wang Princess is a playful fragrance made up of a flirty blend of water lily, lady apple, Mandarin meringue, pink guava and apricot skin mixed with floral notes. It's delicious and delightful, what girl wouldn't love it! I wish she would give this one back to me!

What gift are you wishing for this holiday season?
