| Hark! Sales and coupons at Bath&Body Works! |
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I found a few gems at Cato, too. |
First I went to Bath&Body Works, because I had a good coupon. Now I have no spending money, but that's irrelevant.
 |
| First I bought this glittery silver bath scrunchie for $4.50. Why? |
 |
| For $2.00 this little guy will keep your hands germ-free and smelling sweet. Need I say more? |
 |
| There were signs all over Bath&Body Works yesterday advertising a one-day special (11/22/2013). Instead of costing $12.50, these heaven-scented mason jar candles were on sale for $5.00 each. And obviously if it's on sale, one is obligated to buy one. So I bought the one that smelled of baked treaties and sugar plum fairies. |
 |
| "A bowl of cookie dough made from the very finest ingredients was the inspiration for this simply magical holiday scent -- pure vanilla, butter and sugar." says the label. Simply magical. Couldn't have said it better myself! |
 |
| Now for the only item I actually planned to buy: a car freshener visor clip. Since I don't own a vehicle of my own, I like to attach these near my rabbit's and hermit crab's cages in order to repel their unique odors. This bedazzled beauty was $4.50. |
 |
| Since I already own a scent portable, I also already own the pods. Mine are drenched apple flower. It smells like apples and flowers (shocker). |
 |
| Glitter bug, meet Floral bug. |
 |
| My last purchase wasn't actually a purchase at all. I had a "spend fifteen dollars, get an item under thirteen dollars free." coupon. I was thrilled to have this, because I'd been eying these shea-infused lounge socks for months, but I just couldn't justify the $8.50 price tag. |
 |
| The pattern is called "Smarty-Cat" how cute is that?! |
 |
| All this for $15.00?! Sold! |
Afterwards, I decided to go to Cato on a whim. And boy, am I glad I did! Cato has always seemed a bit hit-or-miss to me as far as quality and style, so I don't usually shop there. But yesterday I found some incredible items. Cato, you've redeemed yourself!
 |
| My first find was this olive and leather shirt. I picked it because it combines 3 things that are on-trend: Leather, Military, and a zipper detail. What sweetened the deal was that it was on sale for $8.00. |
 |
| This shirt is surprisingly figure flattering, and the zipper is a bit edgy, but in a cute sort of way. |
 |
| Speaking of edgy, that brings me to my last item, which my Dad described as "Brass knuckles". This knucklebox clutch is a nearly identical to the Alexander McQueen one which cost, oh, a mere $2,265.00 more. |
 |
| Although I'm not usually a fan of skull apparel, this was too beautiful to pass up. At $30.00, I'd say this cutie is a real steal. |
Total of purchases: $53.00
While all of these things are pretty, they will fade. Whenever I get some new pretties, I try to keep in mind this Bible verse: "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." - 1 John 2:17
With that thought, I leave you. Thank you for your time, dear reader.
Love,
Gabrielle Marie
