The Five Item Fix

Hellloooooooooo my lovely budget babes!!!!!!

I don't know about all of you out there reading this, but for some reason this particular weekend really got me alllllll stoked for the fun and festivities on weekendry. Y'know like sleeping in, laying out by the pool, taking leisurely walks, and enjoying a few adult beverages with just the tinnnieest garnish of lime.

Okay so maybe that last part is just me, but hey.....And seriously though, you should try the lime it makes all the difference.

MOVING ON. So there I am on Saturday after several quick dips in the pool. My husband opens the cupboards and we realize something is terribly, horribly awry.


We're out of snack foods!!! Now, as we all know, that is just completely unacceptable. So five minutes later I'm in my car on the hunt for snack foods.

I guess the quest for food really had gotten me all fired up because I hadn't taken any time to actually LOOK at my reflection at any point during the whole "getting ready" process. By the time I finally did flip my mirror open, I was quite literally in my vehicle parked at a red light. I....can't....even.....tell you....how....bad....it....was.


I had huge red bags under my eyes from the chlorine, my eyebrows were pointing in every direction, and to top it all off there was some old lip product bleeding every which way around my mouth. I kinda resembled this.



Thank goodness I always have a makeup emergency kit on hand that helps me out in a pinch like this one. I was able to remedy the situation fairly quickly and move along about my mission for eats.

Anyways it got me thinking about how often we've all been there. Not enough time to stop by the house but have somewhere to be NOW. So I compiled a video for you viewers out there, going over what I have in my emergency kit. Since I only carry five products, I know that it keeps the cost very low. However, these low-cost items pack big-time results as evidenced at the very end of the video, so stay tuned till the bitter end.


OOOO and also I should warn you guys in advance that next weekend I probably won't be posting anything at all. That is because I am on my anniversary trip with my man. Yep, we got married on St. Pattys day. LOL. So I'll be back to resume my duties in posting the following weekend. Thank you guys sooooooo much for continuing to read (I just saw the blog count is up to 2900!!!!). I think I may actually do a dance when we hit 3,0000. Oh!! And let me know how you are liking the videos too. Are they helpful?! Do you have requests? We want to hear from you guys!!

XOXOXOX

Until Next Time,
