End of Month Recap - October 2015

Not much happened in the month of October, but we have a few things to recap.  Hopefully next month there will be more

At the beginning of the month, I talked about a great hair product I found. http://bit.ly/1isEgcZ

I am still loving it, by the way.  I actually need to get back to Wal*Mart and buy some more.

I did a little shopping at T.J. Maxx.  http://bit.ly/1l0Fu19   Update on that:  the clothes are a fabulous fit!! I need to get a picture,  I have somehow forgotten to do so.

I shared with you the 13 Nights of Halloween on ABCFamily line-up with you. http://bit.ly/20hu21l

I found a blogger opportunity to share with you, if you are a fellow blogger.  Blogger Opp ~ Leonamade Homemade Body Butter Kit Signup    http://bit.ly/1OeC4Eg

  On Facebook, http://on.fb.me/1RjrDNJ, I have started posting a Daily Word with defination.  Just something fun and random.  Also, I try to get a Daily Poll up; that doesn't always happen.  Of course we also share random things there, some interesting facts and such.

Here are some things that I didn't get posted here or on Facebook:

We took Callie to the pumpkin patch

We went Trick or Treating Downtown Charles Town.  It was fun, most of the businesses on Main Street were handing out candy on October 25.  A safe and organized event, they blocked off Main Street plus had costume contest and other fun things. We actually chose to wear last year's costume, so this year's didn't get messed up.  She was a Cheshire Cat

On October 24, We went to  an event in Ellicott City, MD.  The event was called Hallowreads,  we only went for the meet & greet with the authors.  Where we got to chat up some Paranormal authors, grab some goodies, get some signatures and pictures. 

Next up was Red Ribbon Week at school.  It's a great week of fun and dressing up, where the kids learn about saying No To Drugs.  Each school has a different "line-up" of what they do, but its all fun!

I managed to get Callie's picture for Hat Day and Orange Day.

I did Callie's nails for Halloween as well.  That was fun. hehe

Its hard to see, but the purple nail is: purple with black bats (a Jamberry Decal, that I got last year)

I don't have this year's Halloween pictures, yet, I will put that in November's Recap.  However, I made this collage of some of the costumes our kids have worn over the years.  

* Please excuse some of the bad pictures, my phone has been going crazy!! I am soon going looking at new phones.

Shopping at T-J-Maxx, online.

I was actually surprised that I could shop online through T-J-Maxx.  I thought that because they are like a discount store they wouldn't have an online shopping "mall".  However, you can NOT shop at Marshalls online. (I checked)

 I got a late birthday gift from my in-laws.  She loves T-J-Maxx & Marshalls, I like them alright, anyway she sent me a giftcard.  Wonderful, but I don't get out much and our T-J-Maxx is not super close (as with a lot of good stores for me) so I do a lot of my shopping online.  I was disappointed, until I tried to shop.  Wow! There is a great selection online and they have a wide variety of clearance and regular priced items online, and in different colors and selections!

This is what I got:

A whole outfit for just $42.38.  I used a $30 giftcard, so we paid $12.38 with our own money.  What a deal!

ACTIVE BASIC
Juniors 5 Pocket Ponte Pant

$10.00
Compare At $20

90 DEGREE BY REFLEX
Racerback Tank (also comes in Pink)

 $9.99 $7.00  

Compare At $15

PINK ROSE
Juniors Long Sleeve Hoodie

 $14.99

 Compare At $22

It should all be here in a week, and I'm excited for my new outfit.  Just hope it all fits, that is the downside to ordering online.But  returns can be made at the store.

Ordering was easy, and simple.  Can purchase without making (another) an online account with them.

Hair Product Review

As some of you know, I dye my hair frequently.  Not just regular touch-ups but full out change my color all the time. And yes the conditioners that they put in the hair dye box helps but not for any length of time.

Mike and I found this great product at Wal*Mart almost 2 months ago.

 

Profectiv Mega Growth Daily Leave in Strengthener

This has left my hair soft and I have truly notices that my hair is growing a tiny bit faster.  I absolutely love this product.  I have even used it on both daughters (13 & 7),  You can buy this on Amazon, it may be more money.  http://amzn.to/1RrHmus.  But there you can also buy the other products in this line.

Walmart online link: http://bit.ly/1LuuWTr

I will definitely continue to buy this product, especially as I plan to continue to change up my hair color!!!
