Holiday shopping haul!

 ‘Tis the season for holiday shopping! With retailers trying to makeup for the past years sale slump, discounts & deals are everywhere! Many stores start within the first few weeks of November and are still goin! In my video below, I share a few gifts I scored for people on my Christmas list thanks to pre-black Friday and Black Friday deals. One thing to remember is that you don’t have to break the bank to give personable, thoughtful gifts. This is only part one of my holiday hauls with more to come as my orders come in!

Cozy Target haul plus more holiday finds

 So clearly you know by now, Target is my 2nd home! This trip I picked up some more loungewear to be cozy when I’m working from home or of course making more Target runs! Most of the sets are licensed characters/brands that we all know and love while others just promote positive messages. All of the sets were separates meaning you can choose the sizes you need for each piece. Along with the loungewear, I also picked up some more holiday decor goodies! Be sure to check Target circle for extra savings!

Kylie lip kits: Old vs New - What’s changed? Are they better or worse?

 Hey y’all! I’ve always been a fan of Kylie’s lip kits. The matte liquid lipstick combo along with the matching pencil are wonderful for an all day look. With the recent  push for cleaner cosmetics, Kylie revamped her makeup line including the formulas for her lip kits. In my video, I compare the two to determine if they are still worth it!

Saving while you Spend: Using Ibotta and Cartwheel (Target Circle) to save when shopping

 As many of you may know, I’m an avid couponer. I love saving while I spend and I’m always looking for  new ways to save money. I know that a lot of people are not fond of cutting paper coupons or just don’t have the time to cut, organize and plan based on coupons/sales. I get it. It’s time consuming and takes practice and patience. In this video, I explain two apps that are easily accessible on your phone (both android and iPhone) that can help you save money when you shop. Even better, the savings are instant in many cases and you can surf for savings while you’re browsing the store. Both options also offer online and in-store deals so you can save no matter how you shop. These two apps are Ibotta and Cartwheel (now  known as Target Circle). Both are free and pretty simple to use.  If you are not already using one or both of these apps, I highly recommend them. As a special treat, you can earn $10  by using my referral code hn7kwg and redeem your first receipt using the Ibotta app. ** Please note that I am not sponsored by either company, simply sharing some knowledge!** Be sure to check out the Spend and Save section of my blog for more money saving tips!




Home Chef vs. Hello Fresh: Who’s Better? Are they worth it?

 Hey y’all! I know we’ve all seen ads and/or commercials for tons of different meal delivery services and you may be wondering, “ are they really worth it?’. In my video, I do a comparison (based on my experiences) between Hello Fresh and Home Chef. Both are meal delivery services that have been around for a while and are pretty popular. I’ve been using both since the pandemic started in March 2020. Check it out and don’t forget to use my referral code marquitad02, to save $35 off your first Home Chef box!

Home Chef unboxing!

 I’ve been rotating between Home Chef and Hello Fresh meal delivery services for over a year now and I’ve shared a few of my meals and experiences with Hello Fresh over that time. This time I wanted to take a moment and share my experience with Home Chef. Check out my video below to learn more about Home Chef and the types of meals they offer. If you like what you see, sign up and save $35 on me using code marquitad02.  You are not obligated to continue the service and can skip or cancel at anytime! *Code valid for new subscribers only*

Battle of the Yoni Gels!! Which is my favorite? What do I like/dislike about each?

 For the past few months, I’ve switched my normal shower gel to a feminine wash called a yoni gel. A Yoni gel is a natural feminine wash that can help prevent conditions such as vaginal itch, odor, dryness, and bacterial vaginosis (BV) without using harsh chemicals or fragrances that could cause irritation. I’ve tried yoni gels from 3 different black owned companies and shared my thoughts on them in the video below! I have to say ladies, if you have never tried a yoni gel, I highly recommend it!

Fashion Nova Curve haul

 Hello everyone! If you’re like me, it’s probably been a minute since you ordered or purchased clothing that wasn’t pjs or lounge wear! Now that outside is starting to open up, I decided to add a few cute, yet comfy, outfits to my wardrobe. Fashion Nova happened to have a 4th of July sale and I used that time to purchase a few things. I must admit it has been over a year since my last Fashion Nova order so I wasn’t sure what to expect! Check out my video below to see what I purchased and how everything worked out!
