I'm learning to wait for sales on some of my favorite groceries. It takes about (3) weeks for my local Kroger to mark plant based meats down but it's worth the wait. These (2) pack of Impossible Burgers (Plant Based) are usually $6.99 and when they first came out I paid full price because I was so impressed that it tasted like I was eating a REAL burger. That was about 2 years ago. Now I focus more on beans, fruits and vegetables and make meals like these my cheat dinner nights.


Of course you have to have fries with this meal so I also wait for my favorite Checker's fries to go on sale. I can usually catch them for $2.99 with my Kroger plus card.


Here is the part I was amazed by (not the price of my groceries) I'm cooking my entire meal on my Presto electric grill and if you look at the burger it turns the EXACT same color as a real burger when being cooked! If a meat eater had this for dinner they wouldn't question the burger at all it's that on point with taste and mouth feel.


To finish off my meal I added a nice sesame hamburger bun and some onions, banana peppers, vegan sharp cheddar cheese, mustard and vegan mayo. This was so delicious at a fraction of the cost. It really does help my budget to look for sales and cook from home.

 

I was finishing up All American on Netflix and this was so good as a fun "cheat" dinner. I probably wont have it again for another month or so but that's great because I'm sure another pack of Impossible burgers will be on sale. Thanks for stopping by 💛 Stay Frugal!








 You can create easy nail art with a couple tools that will make you look like a professional. For this demonstration I'm going to use some acrylic paint you can find at Michaels, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Jo Anns craft store or even online, A dotting tool (Can be found online or at a beauty store like Sally's), An old toothbrush (Not the same one for your teeth and a long line brush (usually found in a cheap nail art brush set)


First white dot design is super easy. I'm using a practice finger with a nail tip inserted. I painted the nail tip pink and started with one white dot. Next place two white dots above it and repeat that pattern until there is no more room for anymore dots.

Put top coat over it and now you have an easy peasy dot pattern you can do on all types of nails or just one accent nail.


The second nail design is one of the most simple designs I've ever seen. Your going to take an old tooth brush dip the tip of the toothbrush into your desired acrylic paint and keep dabbing on the nail until you get the look you like.


Let it dry and put your desired topcoat over it and be proud of your one of a kind toothbrush design.


I saved the geometric lines for last because this is the most challenging for a beginner with little to no nail art skills. Take your thinnest line brush dip it in the acrylic paint make sure to test your lines on a piece of paper or cardboard to make sure the lines are smooth and thin. Start with two sets of lines on one side of the nail then another two lines on the opposite side of the nail. Lastly start creating lines going thru the other lines. Now you have a geometric line nail.


Apply topcoat over the top and WALA you made a geometric nail design.


All these nail designs and simple and with acrylic paint the designs are unlimited. Make sure to let your acrylic paint dry completely before applying the topcoat. You will know it's dry when it's a flat color and looks like chalk.


Happy Nail Designing!

 It was sad to see my favorite thrift store not having half off day anymore. I used to be so excited to get to the the Monday 1/2 off sale to find some cool clothes for pennies. But now you have to look way harder to get those types of deals. They still ran two color tickets that are half off so that was still a good thing.


These were some of my favorite finds from this thrift haul and about how much I spent on each piece. If you want to see the entire thrift store haul I will link the YouTube video down below. 


I never wore colored jeans before and I liked the cute H&M "escape" pink shirt. The thrift store is a great place to try clothes you regularly wouldn't buy.

H&M Tee: $1.00
Colored Jeans: $3.99


These are some of the work clothes I needed for these upcoming jobs I'm going on and it took me FOREVER to find a plain black polo ladies shirt but about 40 mins into my shop I got it! I also paid full price just to be able to have some type of work gear.

Rider Black Polo Shirt: $2.99
Calvin Klein Khaki Pants $6.99


I know the tank top is some type of dri fit athletic shirt but the brand had came off but I still bought it because the price and condition was great! I really needed some jeans too. I have no idea how I don't have any jeans in my closet but I don't so this pair of jeans was much needed! Plus I love a light washed looking pair of skinny jeans it went perfect with this athletic tank top.

Dri Fit Tank Top: $1.00
Washed Skinny Jeans: $3.99


This was a cute combination together. The pink tank top I bought to build outfits and put under jackets or button up shirt. I need to start putting different pieces in my wardrobe and I hardly buy or wear skirts so this cute striped one was half off so I grabbed it right before I got in line to leave the thrift store.

Pink Tube Top : .50
Striped Skirt : $1.50


These were all my favorite picks from this last thrift store haul. The entire thrift store haul was $35.50 and I will leave the YouTube video below. Thank you for stopping by! If your into thrifting and thrift shopping leave a comment let me know what's your favorite thing to buy at the thrift store?


Have a great one!










 This is my D.I.Y recipe for shaving lotion. I've used this recipe for years and years and I haven't had any cuts since I start making it. I used to buy shaving cream and I would be cut a couple times by the time I got done shaving my legs. With this DIY shaving lotion I never had that problem. 


All these products are from of course... The Dollar Tree! You can use any brand of conditioner, baby shampoo, lotion and baby oil you would like. Here is the measurements for this quick DIY shaving lotion:

(1) Cup Conditioner
(1) Cup Baby Shampoo
(5) Tablespoons Of Lotion
(5) Tablespoons Of Baby Oil


I also got my product mixing measuring cups and spoons from The Dollar Tree. I keep these things in the bathroom so they never mix with my measuring cups and spoons from the kitchen. The container is just a used old plastic jar from a hair product. I love to recycle!


Put everything in a jar (preferably recycled :) take any object to stir (I'm using a craft stick) and mix all the ingredients up until smooth. Let the mixture sit for about (1) hour.


It's an hour later and your mixture is ready to use! It will get thicker as time goes on so stir it up before using. 


This is one of my favorite DIY projects for self care. You can shave your legs and under arms in minutes and feel smooth afterwards. I love using it right before I get in the shower. This DIY shaving lotion last so long! I did the video to make a batch in the video below in 2018 I didn't have to make it again until 2021! Talk about savings! Here is the video:
