DC Monday UPDATE 😁🤩 & Question

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Happy Monday! 

I am back from Washington DC and have a report from the mission field. It was so good. It wasn't easy though it was very, very worth it!

 

 

 

 

I also have some questions that I could use your help with! 

 

Where are you at with Black Friday sales? 

Do you want posts that focus on the date or are you ready for sales and deal promotions now? 

 

 

I'm asking because  I normally do a MakeupUniversity 12 Days of Giving series, and I also do a focus on Black Friday/Shop Small Saturday/Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday set of blog posts to bring you the best deals possible!

But! 2020 so far, has yielded a wavy timeline. I'm seeing ads for Black Friday now, in the first week of November and I'm thinking it's anybody's game and all holds are off!

Let me know in the comments what your strategy is for the upcoming holiday season!

Would You Like Some DiY Beauty Gift Inspiration?

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Woo hoo - how is your Cyber Monday going? Mine was doin' pretty darn good until that moment when I have  been watching Amazon ALL morning long. Just waiting for the LEGO Apollo Saturn V kit to go on sale. It did. In the seconds it took for me to click put into cart someone else bought it.

So, maybe there was one?  One in all of internet land? Really? I will still buy it, but I doubt I will get it for $78 and it's normally about $119. Rawr! So mad.

But I digress. Overall the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was wonderful! Cheers to yours being so as well!

SHOP SMALL Saturday - Enjoy These Deals!

Good morning Gorgeous!

Happy Shop Small Saturday! I love this day of the year when it comes to shopping and the melee that ensues around Black Friday - I do not partake! 

 I do all of my shopping online and even when it comes to Shop Small Saturday, I do my shopping online. Why? Because I live in a rural area and don't like going into town unless it's mandatory. Also because I have such a mega commute for work, I just don't drive if I don't have to.

So today on Shop Small Saturday - look for this blue sticker and help support the dreams of someone working a small business!

 And - please consider ordering online from businesses that have been affected by the wildfires in California, like Neptune's Net. Oh how I love to eat here!  When I leave work in Burbank, if at all possible, I drive over the wine country hills of Calabassas through the canyon and down to the beautiful Pacific ocean and then turn right, go up the PCH about 5 miles and look to the right.

There is Neptune's Net, a small family owned eatery that has been there for decades. Until now - the building is still there though they are without power! The wildfire came right up to the edge of their building yet they were spared! If you could, would you order something from their website?  A gift card, key chain, tshirt, anything will help! It keeps them in business while APS is working to get the power back on.

Use this link here   https://neptunesnet.com/products

Now for my guys and gals out there who have family portraits coming up, and travel, and CES and any number of events you are going to need a fresh shave, a perfect stocking stuffer and some anti-aging skincare to be work ready in the new year!

Consider shopping J Paul Skincare online and get a big discount while also supporting an independent family owned business!  I've tried the skincare and love the shave cream filled triple blade razor for travel! 

Use this link to order:  http://www.jpaulskincare.com/

Now just in case you or someone you know is getting married, I have my diy bridal makeup course geared to the encore bride or those who are saying "I do" times two.  

These short videos are easy to follow and learn along with to get your best destination wedding look, or backyard brides have a deep saving on your wedding budget with this video course.

Use this link for savings and a free gift with purchase!

http://diybridalmakeup.teachable.com/

This holiday weekend, instead of buying the separate $47 personal one on one makeup lesson, get it free this weekend only when you shop small!

 

Now get to shoppin' small!

CYBER MONDAY is here! Who's shopping where?

Hi ya Gorgeous,
It is Cyber Monday and if you don't what that is, it's time you learn. Way back in the day where most homes had dial up internet but business had cable internet, meaning, faster internet, people would go to work on Monday and do a lot of Christmas shopping.

Now, no one has dial up and almost everyone has a high speed connection, with some of you lucky folks having the google fiber.

So today is usually a day for deep discounts when shopping online.  Unless you are Walmart who rolled out their Cyber Monday sales and deals on Black Friday.

I adopted the REI mantra of "get outside" on Thanksgiving. We had a beach picnic turkey frying extravaganza and it was delish.
But I digress.

Back to Cyber Monday - be sure you look and find this set from Premium Blend by Munsingwear. It's the most classic scent and new old school guys can wear this with confidence and when you give it to them ladies, it will instill confidence.

This set is everything a man needs to fill his dopp kit to go to the gym or on the road or just have on hand at home.

This kit is available at Macy's or the Original Blend website! Get it before it's gone! Just $70 for everything!

• Original Penguin's new fragrance ORIGINAL BLEND is a refreshing clean marine scent immersed in a striking crafty bottle design of substantial stature and striking color.Evoking a sense of style and temptation ORIGINAL BLEND opens with a burst of Italian bergamot kaffir lime and crisp apple.
• The scent infuses into a blend of crushed lavender shaved nutmeg and brushed suede and is then finely wrapped with a dry down of sandalwood musk and warm amber.
• This fresh aquatic fougere is the perfect blend of heritage wit and masculinity certain to stimulate the senses and stop by-passers in their tracks.
