day 2: 12 days of christmas

I’m making this a new thing, I’m going to try and take the 100 spot on her linky lol I got number 100 yesterday and who knows maybe even tomorrow but watch I’ll be 101.. Ugh..

Day 2 - Black Friday/General Shopping Tips & Tricks

Lets think about this..

The best tip I could offer is stay home.. 

Seriously I'm not a mall shopper with all you crazy fanatics for your deals.

I score deals every day of the week I'm a thrifty shopper and rarely pay full price for anything... But if I did have to go shopping on Black Friday.. I'd do these things..  

Loved the walky talky idea from Chelsea and her choice of some coffee and Baileys/Kahula

Then I'm all for shopping in teams, one gets in the long ass line while the other scores the deals needed.

Parking spots much better in teams as well.. Heck maybe I'll ride my bike but then where will I put the presents..

Bring a friend, or boyfriend. Of course just one working but two sets of hands are better than one so maybe I'll throw my brother in there too.

But of course as much as I just said I don't like shopping the day after Thanksgiving..

I most definitely am going to Express..

So if you live in Sacramento back away from the pencil skirts they are all mine.

Yes and that suit jacket that is the matching set.. So that too..


Yes back away.. Now.. Their MINE!

oooh can't forget! I also got my nails (fake ones) taken off this past weekend and I got the GEL MANICURE put on!!!  OMG loving it so much and it was really reasonable! $25 for the gel manicure.  Here's my pretties right now.. Still shiny and chip free!! It's a deep purple color if they look black in your browser.

LOVE the gel nails!!!

Don't be a wimp. Get your man, some drinks, walkie talkies and go shopping!!!

Agree 110% with you, ma'am! STAY AWAY FROM THE MALLS. Have a good Thanksgiving :)

I have that skirt already (it's fantastic) so don't you worry.

Can't wait to hear what you think of the gel. I loved them for the first few days until they chipped. With all my crafting & hot glue action-they didn't hold up as well as I hoped.
Love Express too!

I love Black Friday, a day that's focused on shopping and great deals, sign me up! Unfortunately, here in MN it sounds like it is going to be FREEZING COLD!! We are talking below zero with the wind... no waiting in line outside for me!

XOXO
