Beauty Trends: Save on Jergens & Ambi via Coupons.com

Hey Butterflies! I've been using Jergens brand lotion for years and it hasn't failed me yet. If you want to try it for yourself Coupons.com has a $3/2 printable coupon which allows you to print twice. I just use it on two 10oz bottles from Walmart that were $3.24 each so including tax and minus the $3.00 off coupon they were about $1.90 each.

Also if you're a huge fan of Ambi beauty products like myself there is a $2 off any Ambi product coupon available to print as well. FYI, I tried using the Ambi coupon on the beauty bars (which are $1.87 each @ Walmart) and it didn't work.

Happy Saving!

Life Update: Bonjour 2015!

WOW! I really can't believe its 2015 already, I mean I was just starting to get a handle on 2014 lol. I guess its out with the old and in with the new; life's too short to live in the past anyway, right?

Well, I saw "The Gambler" the other day and it had a really positive message (well at least I thought so) about life that got me to thinking about my "New Year's Resolutions" and because of that I decided not to make any resolutions this year. Instead, I'm just going to continue to work on my personal growth...my health, my finances and myself as a person (oh and my blog too, lol) will continue to be my personal focuses in 2015. What are your "Resolutions"?

Wishing You All the Best and so much more in 2015!

Movie: I Went to Studio Movie Grill and Got Inspired Financially

Butteries, I wrote a post a few months back expressing my desire to check out Studio Movie Grill...yea that didn't happen until yesterday (lol I've been busy). Anyway, it was a really cool experience! The best part about SMG is being able to pick your own seats...I freaking love that! Not having to go on a scavenger hut for seats in a pitch black theater is an amazing feeling. The seats are very comfy and the food and drinks at SMG are great and well worth the price. The only thing I wish SMG did differently is open a few more locations and add a few more movie choices. On a different note I really enjoyed the movie (The Gambler) and not just because Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors but because it had a really positive real life message. Without giving away the movie I must say the most intriguing part of the Gambler to me is when Frank played by John Goodman shared some wisdom with Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) about life, finances and being self efficient. If you know me, I mean truly know me you know I'm hardly ever the one to depend on anyone so you can understand why that part of the movie really stuck out to me. So with that being said, as you read this I'm working on a master plan to one day have "Fuck You Money". If you've already seen the movie you know what I mean and if you haven't GO SEE IT!
