Looks for Less!

I LOVE to shop! Shopping for me is a great way to relieve stress & have fun! However, over the past couple months I had to cut back drastically on my spending due to the bad economy. Thankfully, I have my go to stores like Walmart, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Target, Forever 21, & JcPenney to find designer inspired clothes for less! Below are a few pictures of me in my new affordable clothes along with pictures of similar pieces that costs wayyy more. See what shopping at discounted stores can find you for less!!

Curlformers!

Curlformers is a great way to give hair a soft volumized natural look using spiral rollers. I purchased this product a year ago at Sally's Beauty Supply store to help with my transitioning process & was shockingly impressed with the first time results!! It's a little pricey & very time consuming but worth every penny.
