Win Sibu Skincare- Holly Jolly Gift Guide

I’m all about trying all natural ingredients in my skincare
regimen. Recently I began using Sibu Beauty, I was drawn to
their primary ingredient, sea buckthorn berry. This is known as nature’s most
balanced fruit. This “Holy Fruit of the Himalayas” has been cherished
by native Tibetans for centuries for its incredible nutritive qualities. Over
120 specific studies on sea buckthorn have shown that this little berry
promotes health. From sea buckthorn’s rare abundance of some of the most
powerful antioxidants to being the only plant in the world known to contain essential
fatty acids 3, 6, 7 and 9 – sea buckthorn has earned its title of super fruit.

I tried using the Sea Buckthorn Facial Soap nightly before bed. This is designed to cleanse, moisturize,
repair and detoxify the skin, it creates a thick lather that washes away makeup completely. I struggle with acne and blemishes, and most soap breaks me out- but not the Sibu!
With all the benefits of this bar I just can’t believe how inexpensive it is, just $6.95 🙂

I don’t have a ton of damage because I use sunscreen daily, but
I have greasy skin. I started using the Repair and
Protect Daily Facial

Saving Money with Coupons-Multiple Stores

The following is a guest post by Outside the Box Mom:

One of the easiest ways to stretch my budget is to shop at different stores. Now, I don’t shop at 10 stores each week. But, over the course of several weeks, I have shopped at several different stores. For example, during the first week of the month, there might be great deals at grocery store 1 and drug store 2. Then, it’s ok to just shop at those stores to get their best deals. I’m done and don’t have to set foot into any of the other stores.

So, what’s my advice to you?

Consider All of Your Options

Survey all of the stores available to you. See Money Saving Mom’s thorough list of stores.

Consider Grocery Stores, Drug Stores, Discount retailers (Family Dollar, Dollar General, Roses / Maxway), Mass merchandising stores (Kmart, Walmart, Target), Closeout stores (Big Lots, Ollie’s, Dollar Tree), Warehouse clubs (BJ’s and Sam’s Club), farmers markets, co-ops, community supported agriculture (CSA), and Asian, Caribbean, or Latino grocery stores.

If your store isn’t listed, just do an online search for deal matchups at your store. Closeout stores will probably not accept coupons because their prices are so low.

Zenni Optical

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

There are lots of great products to get online. One of the few products people don’t know are available at a great price and great quality are eyeglasses . I find myself telling people all the time about how easy they are to order, high quality the frames and lenses are and of course how low the prices are. It is nice to see a retailer offer a great price on a high quality product. The nice feature of Zenni Optical is the quantity of the cheapest glasses ($6.95!) as well as the variety of them. I know you are [Read more…]

Smashburger- a fun place to eat!

There is a new Smashburger restaurant that just opened up in Paramus, NJ- and we were LITERALLY the first people through the door!
The restaurant was super clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was fun and family-friendly.

My son had the kids hotdog platter, I had the New Jersey Smashburger, and my mom had the Swiss Mushroom burger. We tried all 3 kinds of fries- regular, sweet potato, and the “smash fries” (with rosemary on them). Everything was very good, and we hope to go back soon and see the full menu! I liked that they had different teas and chocolate milk as well, not just sodas.

There are currently 7 different locations in NJ.
Check it out sometime!

Smashburger was born to carry the torch for the modern burger lover. Where smash. sizzle. savor means a dedication to [Read more…]
