Heather's Favorite Finds under $10

I'm super excited to have Heather from A Cupcake Love Affair here today sharing her favorite finds.  And they are all less than $10!!
CupcakeLoveAffair
1.  Nivea A Kiss of Milk and Honey Lip Care (my go-to chapstick) between $2-3. It's smooth without being oily and slimy, and while it's not flavored, it doesn't taste like vaseline or medicine. :) It's super healing and comforting to dry, chapped lips!

2.  BelleChic - curated handmaid designs - I find the most beautiful jewelry, gifts, and unique items here and there is PLENTY under $10. Just gorgeous stuff!

3.  OPI nail polish All That Razz-berry around $8.50. I LOVE this color for any time of year. It's girly and pretty without being obnoxious or flashy

4.  Almond Joy Coffee Creamer - I stock up when it's BOGO at Publix and I have a $1 off coupon :) It's the perfect combination of chocolate and coconut for a strong, smooth cup of coffee.

5.  My go-to pens at the office are the Pilot G2 pens in red and blue. I love them! I usually get them at Walmart in a 2-pack for about $3.  It may seem silly to have a go-to pen but I just love the way these gel pens write so smoothly without bleeding all over the place or leaking ink on my hands. 

6.  Which Wich - the BEST sandwiches ever - Sandwich, chips, a cookie, and a drink under $10.  The topping choices are endless and so unique! Fantastically delicious!! 

7.  Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes - I love these wipes to quickly remove my make up at night, especially eye make up! So light and refreshing. You can get it around $4-5 without coupons at Publix.

Thanks Heather for sharing!  I'm now obsessed with BelleChic!! 

What are some of your favorite products under $10?

InstaFriday

The first week of summer vacation has been fabulous!
My main goal this summer is to lose track of what day it is:)
My horoscope last Saturday was perfect for my first official day of summer vacation.

We started our summer vacation with a trip to Maryland for a wedding and to visit with family

where we enjoyed crabs for the first time this year - which I've realized living in Va Beach is foreign to most people.

We came back to Va Beach on Tuesday and have been chillin' ever since! 

Connor is obsessed with catching bugs!  I can't keep this boy out of the dirt and in the house.  I can't believe he is only three and already wants to play outside from sunrise to sunset. 
Even Rocky has enjoyed sunbathing on the deck every morning.

What have you all been doing so far this summer?

Meet Angie~ 
I'm is a full-time working momma of three with a husband who has to work out of town a lot....so I'm a busy lady!   I love tips on how to stay organized and how to save money.  We all LOVE arts and crafts time here in the Bowen House.   My littlest, Cooper is ALL BOY---so we play a lot of ball, climb everything, and generally try to test out the cleaning power of our laundry detergent to the max.  We also have a sweet "little" puppy...our 8 month old Golden Doodle--Penny.   I love to take pictures, but sadly don't end up making it into a lot of them.   We LOVE to travel as well....and even the little guy has his own rolling suitcase which is adorable.  He's the best traveler out of all five of us--hands down.

Favorite Finds Under $10 with Melissa

I love finding new products that are both fabulous and cheap!!
Today Melissa from A Dozen Years Later is sharing a few of her favorite products that cost less than $10.

1.  This etsy seller used to sell on eBay where I ordered several signs.  Imagine my delight when I finally located her on etsy.  These are darling and so reasonably priced.  These are perfect little birthday presents or baby gifts.
2.  Flip flops and lime green... two of my favorites.  I love these keychains because they last forever.
3.  When you live in Rhode Island and no longer have a swimming pool in your neighborhood, you defnitely need this self tanner.  This is the travel size, but they have a larger one too.  Pick it up when they are having a sale and you are good to go.  Just make sure you exfoliate before using it.
4.  Goody StayPut Elastics  I love these hair bands!!
5.  I am obsessed with bunting.  I don't remember how I came across this fun shop... but these little handmade tags are perfect to tie onto little packages of baked goods to bring to event this summer, last minute teacher gifts, or even tags for birthday parties.
6.  I ordered these for summer BBQs.  How cute will these be paired with ice cream sundaes or little fruit salads?

Great picks Melissa.  Thanks for sharing and being my guest today!  Want to share your favorite products under $10?  Email me at harvey.karalee@gmail.com
