To me, frugal means AWARE; finding the best buy at the best price; not “fading” or “trending” when I purchase something, but going for the tried and true that will last; making the best of every purchase for long term or function. Now, I am the first to admit that FRUGAL is not a word that I always APPLY to myself or my purchase… I need help, as a former shopaholic and Diva who is too shy to negotiate and bargain!

CD review: Goo on my shoe

Beauty reviews: Dermaflage
DERMAFLAGE Conceals Scars Instantly Silicone Filler for the Face When I was 26 I had skin cancer (melanoma) directly under my right eye.
