Beauty Steals Available Now at Uta

Hey Guys, so it's time for another round of beauty steals and deals. I love writing these posts because I'm pretty much OBSESSED with finding great deals.  If I can get makeup at discounted prices, then I get some fab goodies without feeling too bad about my purchase. So I located these deals on Ulta.com, but the great thing is; the prices in store generally match their online prices. Don't forget to bring along any coupons you might have and that trusty Ulta coupon (that you can always print from their site) for additional savings!

Down below are some of the great deals I was able to find. Not all shades in different categories are on sale, but I have taken the time to list the shades that you can get for a super low price.

My Sit Down Interview with YBF Creator Stacey Schieffelin

Stacey is someone who feels like a friend as soon as we welcome her into our homes via our television screens. I have watched her for years, so when she mentioned that she would be passing through the Dallas area, I reached out to her for an interview. In true Stacey fashion, she enthusiastically said "Yes"!

I cannot put into words how absolutely thrilled I was. Knowing Stacey has a busy schedule, I suggested meeting for coffee; but Stacey being the generous person she is, treated me to a full sit-down breakfast at The Mansion Hotel in Turtle Creek for her first ever breakfast interview.

A few weeks later after her trip to a few of her other Networks, a trade show in Italy, a factory visit in Germany, and LIVE Shows at QVC in the UK she arrived in big D where she was the key note speaker at the Dallas Convention Center to what had to be 800 excited college students!  

As I sit with Stacey and her lovely daughter Knox we discuss how thrilled Knox is about being asked to visit SMU campus with mom and study abroad in Switzerland as a freshman for their international program!  They also share that they are most excited about the scholarships that their ybf foundation will be donating and sponsoring with her daughter at the FGI (Fashion Group International) event the next day!  

After our meeting I can truly tell you that Stacey is a truly authentic person, who has a passion for her work, has a deep love for her family, and has a willingness to share.

Great Deals In Target Clearance Department

 One of my favorite places to shop and bargain hunt is Target. Some stores can be filled with more misses than hits, but when I hit up my local Target I tend to feel that I've hit the jackpot.

For example This past weekend, I able to grab 4 Sonia Kashuk travel bags (in a variety of sizes) for less than price of what one would cost regularly.

If your looking to find a good deal Target.com might be the place to look, Now through April 6th, Target is offering an additional 10% off when you purchase 2 clearance items from the following departments: clothing, shoes, and accessories. To receive the extra 10% enter code EXTRA10 at checkout.
