Taking Charge

It’s officially yard sale season! I’m kind of excited by this. Don’t judge me. I like yard sales. You never know what you’re going to find. I’ve seen people put out practically brand new KitchenAid mixers for cheap. Sadly, I’ve never had the money when I saw one to get it. I’ve seen people put [...]

You know, the one thing that I miss from growing up was how easy it was to find window shades. Now, they have paper shades that you have to clip open. They area a pain in the arse to get to open because they’re a fan fold. They’re fine, if you open and close them [...]

I want to go shopping. I need new clothing. Sadly, I don’t have the money or the inclination to actually go shopping. I’d send my husband shopping but he’d probably pick out hip hop clothes for me just to be an ass. I dislike picking out clothing, tbqh with you. I dislike shopping in general. [...]

So, everywhere you look these days, there are barcodes. It seems like everything has a bar code. I don’t understand why, but it seems like every phone that has apps has a barcode scanner app. I don’t understand what the logic is, especially since we seem to be tethered to our phone far too much.

Well, winter has finally hit in upstate NY with a vengeance. Guess that means it’s time to dig out the winter gear out. Oh wait, I don’t have any winter gear. Guess it’s time to take a good look at some obermeyer gear. It looks like it’s good stuff and would be warm, especially for [...]

I like to shop online. I tend to look at many different sites before I buy. To that point, I also go coupon hunting before buying as well. I noticed that Buckle, a clothing store for younger men and women. They have some really cute clothing, if you are into the style they carry. They [...]

As a large woman, I have a hard time picking out clothing that I think makes me look good. I don’t own any plus size formal dresses, I don’t do formal clothing. I wear jeans and a nice blouse when I need to dress up. That’s not because I can’t find any. One Stop Plus [...]

Okay, so I want to find some cute couple gifts. I know there are some cute kitschy things, but I want something that would be fun for a couple. Maybe his and hers keychains would work. I think that split heart keychains would be a neat wedding gift, especially engraved with the names and the [...]

We all know how hard it is, as plus sized women, to find cute plus size clothes. I can’t walk into Target, Kohl’s, etc and find jeans that I like or a cute swimsuit when I wanted to go to the pool. I have to find somewhere that caters to women my size and there [...]

So, I bought a pair of Birkenstocks on ebay the other day. Sadly, they don’t fit *me* right, but they will fit my Mom, so it wasn’t a total loss. I want to find a new swim suit when I have a few free bucks. Speaking of shopping, I was asked where to buy swisher [...]
