First things first, I
hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I ate everything delicious so I
obviously needed to burn off calories by shopping. Does that justify spending
money? Not really, but I thought I’d try.
So… Black Friday
happened and I mean it really happened. Is your wallet crying just like mine?
Don’t worry you are not the only one. I’m not going to lie, I visited all of
the basic Black Friday stores. Can you guess? That’s right I hit up Target,
Walgreens, Victoria Secret, and Bath & Body. Your shocked right? Well, I
guess we should get started!
Victoria Secret
I have never been super in love with Victoria Secret bras. If were being honest, I have a large chest and Victoria Secret bras always break on me. I'm not thrilled when the wire comes out of my $60 bra six months after I bought it.
However, I have wanted to try their sports bras for a really long time. Lets be real here, the Target ones just don't cut it for a 36 DD. These beauties have an underwire. I personally love avoiding that awkward uniboob. I also love that they have a zipper. It will be nice to unzip when I get the terrible underboob sweat. Shout out to everyone who knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Bath & Body
Oh my… Bath & Body. One day I will be able to walk into this store without spending money (Lies). Bath & Body had a buy 3 get 3 free deal for the entire store. At first, I didn’t think that it was that great of a deal but it actually was.
I actually did not
buy much soap. I still have tons of sets from the semi-annual sale. However,
they are all summer scents. The first thing I picked up was a set of Twisted
Peppermint soap, lotion, and perfume. I absolutely love this scent. It is
something that I just have to buy. Despite my love for the stuff, I decided to
only get minis. I bought a full set last year and it lasted way longer then I
wanted it to. I just don’t want to smell like a peppermint after the Holidays.
The next thing I
picked up was the Wallflowers. I bought three and got the next three free! I
love candles, but I obviously can’t keep them lit all day. These keep my room
smelling amazing all the time.
-
Frosted Cranberry
-
Winter
-
Spiced Apple Toddy
-
Tis’ The Season
-
2 Fresh Balsam
Can
you guess what I got next? Yes, it was candles. I didn’t pick up any 3 wicks
because I didn’t want to spend $60. I love them but, I don’t have a money tree.
The $12.50 mason jar candles were perfect. I picked up:
-
2 Fresh Balsam
-
Cranberry-Pear Bellini
-
Tis’ The Season
-
Merry Mistletoe
On
top of a handful of hand sanitizer, I also grabbed one of the $20 2014 VIP
Bags. These were such a great deal. Each bag came with:
-
3 Wick Holiday Wishes
-
A Thousand Wishes Perfume and Lotion
-
Forever Red Mini Perfume
-
Frosted Cranberry Hand soap
Target
Yes, Yes I did go to
Target. Surprisingly, it was not that busy. My biggest purchase was at good old
Target. I FINALLY bought myself a T.V. I feel like I am one of the few 19 year
olds that does not have a television. It’s a small 24’’ Element T.V that fits
perfectly on my bookshelf. I’m planning on transferring from my community
college in the fall and I am hoping to stay in the dorm. I rather spend $100
now then almost $200 in August.
All Target clothes
were 40% off! Guess what that means? I bought things… Only two things. Two cute
little sweaters. The first was a simple black and grey stripped sweater. The
second was kind of an “Ugly Christmas Sweater”, I couldn’t live without Snoopy.
I have to say I really struggled deciding between Snoopy and The Grinch. My
life decisions are really difficult aren’t they?
Walgreens
I didn’t pick up much
at Walgreens, there were just a few things on sale that I couldn’t pass up. The
first two things I picked up were the Color Tattoo Eye shadow Powders. I absolutely
love the cream Color Tattoos so I figured I’d try these out. The fact that they
were 50% off didn’t hurt either. I also picked up a packet of makeup remover
wipes. Can you ever have too many of these babies? I think not. The next thing I
grabbed was a small inexpensive set of brushes. I have always used my
Bareminerals brushes, but I’m interested in seeing if there is a difference.
The last thing I grabbed was a Fall Fight conditioner. I have long hair, I use
gallons of conditioner. If I can find one on sale I grab it!
So yeah, that happened. Yay shopping.
