Yummy, Yummy...Cotton Candy!!!

This past weekend, I bought a cotton candy machine from target to use at my bestie's baby shower. At first, the machine seemed to be a flop. It is suppose to make cotton candy from the provided sugar and from hard candy. I tried the sugar that came with the kit, and was getting nothing but a ring of hard sugar around the bowl of the machine!!! I was pissed...I thought I wasted my money, until I tried actual Floss sugar. This made all the difference!!! Apparently, the sugar that comes in the kit is table sugar!!! They ripped me off!!! I even tried Jolly Ranchers, and they worked way better than the sugar that was provided!!! Anywho, here is a picture showing the floss sugar cotton candy. It was delicious!! I can't wait until Sunday!! More pics coming soon!!!

Cirque Du Bebe Shower Part 1

Sooooo....two of my friends are having babies a month apart. So for my bestie, I decided to host her shower, and the theme is "Cirque Du Bebe!" I got the idea from Hostess with the Mostess (hwtm.com). Once I began planning, I realized I couldn't afford to host two extravagant showers. So once I found out that my other friend was having a boy, I asked her if I could duplicate the shower theme. Luckily, she was totally fine with it and loved the idea. Yea, I know it's not the most ideal thing to do, but I have to work with my budget! The showers are a week apart! And I am completely stressed out!! However, the invitations have been made and sent out. For my bestie, her fiance` paid for the invites that were used by HWTM. So for my other friend, I tried to duplicate the invites, without it being exactly alike. I wanted to stick with the color scheme and definitely wanted the circus font. So here is the finished product! Tell me what you think.

Coupon Diva!!!

Yesterday, I went to Walmart to stock up on my Always Infinity and Tampax products. I had a Target coupon for $1 off two Always/Tampax products and a P&G coupon for $1 off one Always and $1 off one Tampax product. I also had $1 off Always Liners. I was prepared to save at least $4 on my purchase. I decided to get 3 boxes of Infinity, one box of Tampax and one box of liners. I had calculated in my head that everything would cost me $19.99. First, I did a price match for CVS, who had the products at $3.99, which brought my price down to $19.23. I was then able to use all 4 coupons which brought my total to $15.43! Now, when was the last time you were able to get 5 feminine care items for less than $20?! This couponing thing isn't so bad! I could get used to it, but not like on the TV show...I don't have that kind of time!...lol...until next time!!!
