Hello Everyone, It the last day of the month. So that mean one thing. Time for my month spending recap. Which I went over my budget by 3 dollars and 58 cents. Which isn't all that bad. I have manger to stick to my New years resolution of not buying clothes and shoe.  I did pick up a cardigan from the recycling center. Which it doesn't count in my new year resolution because it was FREE. 

Over all I'm happy with this month purchase. I only got two thing I didn't need this month. The earring and Ispy.  I think getting ispy will help with me not buying so much new makeup. We will see if this stand true in a few month.

The reason my saving is so high is because we saved some mega buck on our new furniture that will be here Tuesday. 

I'm linking up with Fran!

Glamorous Plaid

 REMIX OUTFIT
 Pink Ugg Boots From DSW~44.96

Happy Friday Everyone. So this morning I  decide that I want to wear my navy sweater tank. Since I haven't worn it since the summertime. I had no idea what I wanted to wear under it. Then I saw this plaid shirt in my closet and everything came together.  Minus the shoe. I didn't care for my pink uggs with this outfit. Which my husband didn't even take picture of my shoe. The funny thing is he didn't know that I didn't like them with the outfit. Over all I love how this outfit came together. 

I have no idea what I was doing in this photo but my husband calls it the blowing you nose pose.  Also on a sidenote I hope your not get sick of me wearing beanie/beret. They are truly my go to thing in the fall and winter time. Also there a must in Germany. With the cold weather.


Today Christmas item is my all time favorite Christmas song. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Not that many people have heard this song. I think it a midwest thing. I would listen to this song every Christmas in Michigan.

Fresh Face

J Crew Chambray Dress From The Recycle
Colorful Necklace From CR~3.99
Ugg Brown Boots Gift From Hubby From DSW

 Hello Everyone, On Friday I went and got my hair trimmed up. Which my hair feel so much better now. Today I'm back with another item from the recycling center. I picked this dress up back in July from there. This is the second time I have worn it. The first time I worn it was with a pair of coach shoe in the summertime. You can call me a bad blogger for not getting picture of it then.
  

I made sure I got picture of this dress today. So I guess you  can say I made up for it. I'm sure you will see this dress a lot around here this fall and winter time.  On another note most women would say black tight are a staple for them. For me white tights are my staple and go to tight.

HAVE A GREAT MONDAY.

Happy Friday Everyone. As many of you know I pick clothes up at the recycling center here and there. Well last month when I was there dropping off my paper items. I decide to go in to the inside of the recycling center building to see what they had. When I came across this stripe cardigan. Which it not my size at all. Its an x-large. I told myself I would make it work. So I brought it home with me. Washed it and put it in my closet for a day I want to be warm but comfortable too. Which that day is today. To give the sweater some shape. I just add this skinny belt with rhinestone on it.  

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. So I'm wearing this cardigan because it has grey in to honor the cause.  My mom, My MIL, Grandma and a few friend all have this.  In December 2007 I almost lost my mom to diabetes.  I will never forget this day. It was 3am in the morning and I got a call from my dad. Say you need to come home. The Dr's don't know if your mom going to make it. After  I hang the phone up. I called my mother in law up and told her what was going on. Mind you I was crying like blood Mary. That I woke my husband up.  That morning he went to work and they told him to go home. I didn't even brother trying to go in to work that day. When my husband got home from work. We hop on the computer and book our flight to go from Germany to Michigan. 

I had friends come and watch Priscilla(my dog) and stay at my house. Then the next morning we were off to Michigan. The first thing we did was go to the hospital. My mom end up being in a diabetes coma for 3 week. Also she had a stroke as well. I'm so happy that my mom made it out of this. I'm also happy that she has manger to get her sugar under control. 

Diabetes is not anything to mess around with. So please get your self check out for it.  A couple sign you might have it our.

Hello Everyone. I'm doing my spending recap a day early. Mainly due to I know I will not be buying anything else for this month. Today and tomorrow will be spent finish putting my Halloween costume together. Plus making food for the Halloween party I'm going to on Saturday. I was doing so good this month. Until yesterday when my husband decide to make a trip out to the big PX. Which we don't go to that one a lot. We go to it maybe every 3 to 6 months.  Since its an hour drive from us. Since we were there and they carry bareMinerals products. I decide to stock up and get some thing I been want to try out. The only way for me to get bareMinerals products here in Germany is if I go to the big Px thats an hour away or if I order it off of Sephora. I do hope one day this brand get bigger over here. That way I can get my hands on it.

I wasn't sure if I should have add my Ipsy Bag in my monthly recap. Due to I haven't gotten it in the mail yet. Once I get it I will do a post on what I got. 
I can tell you guys already that my 100 dollar budget will be blown next month as well. Which you are probably wonder why I'm saying that being that the new month hasn't started yet. Well it due to I'm going on a trip. Where I will be doing some major shopping.

Hello Everyone. On Day 2 in Berlin. We went and saw the Berlin wall. Which it was truly awesome to see it up close and in person. It was hard to read what was written on the wall. We happen to come across part of the wall that said save our planet. 

The weather was being super bi-polar that day. One minute it was cold and I need something for my arm. Then it was hot and I didn't need anything for them. I will have to say I'm glad I find this black dresser cardigan at the recycling center. It works prefect for this day. 


At night on are second day in Berlin. We had dinner plans to eat at Nocti Vagus. Which is a dark restaurant  You eat your food in the dark.  I have to tell you all. It was so much fun to eat here. Plus the food was amazing. It was the one thing on my husband bucket list. That he has been dying to do. 

Instead of get a taxi or taking a bus. We decide to walk there. It was a 30 minute walk from our hotel. During are walk we pass the Tv Tower.  Which it was so pretty to see it at night.  The Tv Tower is the only thing we didn't get to do during the day. Over all I'm happy we were able to see it up close. 

HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY.
