First Deals Of The Year

With the exception of chilly temperatures, the fashion photoshoot over the weekend went well. Another session will be planned for the spring when it is warmer. Photos will be uploaded soon!

As for today, I decided to head to the mall with the Christmas money I received, before school starts up again and it gets too busy.

I had a gift card to JCPenney's and found a good deal on some nice, soft bedsheets.

Queen size microfiber sheet set includes one flat sheet, one fitted, and two pillowcases in a pretty green floral/paisley print. They were originally $50.00, but were on sale for $19.99.

Moving along through the mall, I didn't really have anything else I needed, but of course I was lured into Bath and Body Works by the ginormous sale signs they had posted all over. Holiday items were in bins marked 75% off, but most of the bottles and jars were greasy and messy from opened and spilled items and nothing on the surface really looked like it was worth digging through the bins and getting my hands gunky.

However, almost everything else was on some kind of sale or discount as well, and I found a few things for around $3.00 each.

The bottles are foaming body wash, which the salesperson said were "not coming back, ever". There were lots of scents, including some of the newer ones, but I stuck to classic Cucumber Melon and Mango Mandarin for $3 each. They also had something new I hadn't seen before, scented clippy things that could be used in cars, closets, drawers, or wherever, and the scents are refillable. I decided to try one for my car - Brilliant Citrus for $5. I also picked up a refill for my Wallflower air freshener and an aromatherapy room spray to promote sleep, each for $3. (I found when I got home I had picked up Lavender Vanilla instead of Lavender Chamomile in the aromatherapy spray, and what I have smells a lot like a baby....not exactly what I want to try to fall asleep to. Oh well!)

Still have a bit of Christmas money left, but I was happy with what I found today! Now I'm off to make my bed with new sheets...

Cheers!
