BzzAgent

I, Sister C, received another box in the mail the other day with products to try from BzzAgent!  I am starting to really like this company!  I really love trying new products.

This time around, I received CoverGirl Natureluxe Foundation and Lipstick.  I hate trying to pick out a foundation color based on an online picture, but I think I did pretty well.  I'd go out in public with this foundation lol It's a pretty good match.  I've used Artistry products for the last 12 years, so I wasn't sure what to expect.  Although I'm not sure I'd ever switch, I really don't have much to complain about this product.  I've been wearing a powder foundation for several years now, and this CoverGirl was liquid.  It went on easily, covered up my dark circles under my eyes pretty well, and felt light.  I've tried other foundations that were in my mom's or sister's makeup kits when I go home and forget my foundation (mommy brain) and I never like them.  They feel "cakey" or something.  Natureluxe did not leave that heavy, makeup-y feeling on my skin.  I was quite surprised. 

I have not tried the lipstick yet, as it's in the drawer out of the kids' reach and I have to dig it out :o)

Walgreen's Run

Sister C also made a run to the Downtown Walgreen's today.  They had their Mixed Nuts on sale for 99c each.  They ring up as $2.99, so make sure they fix that.  They are on an end cap in the far left corner of the store.  I don't care for some of the nuts in them, but for 99c, I'll eat the ones I do like lol

Hy-Vee Run

Sister C made a run to the Downtown Hy-Vee.  We are going to start potty training Little V.  So I bought some bribes. The Crunch bars were on sale for 50c each, and I used 5 - $1/2 Coupons that I had snagged from a gas station.  I actually have like 15 more coupons since I saw them every time I went into a gas station, each time I snagged a few more.  Hubby R loves Trident Vitality, and the Hy-Vee store always seems to have his gum on clearance, so I ran down there.  They had them for just 25c each.  I paid $5 for all of them, and normally I'd get only 3 of them for that price.  And they still had about 200 more.  I also grabbed 2 Reese's Eggs for 37c each.

If you like jelly beans, they had lots of bags of them for 13 each.  WOW  I might go back and get a few of those bags for additional potty bribes!

Financially Fit Friday

Emergency Fund - Stocked

Colorado Fund (Goal is $500)

• Deposited $200 of fun money from tax return
• New Total - $240.16

Indiana Fund (Stocked)

• Previous Total - $250.80
• $6 paid surveys
• $9.19 in spare change
• $234.69 leftover from paychecks and tips
• Current Balance - $500.68

Credit Card Beginning Balance 4/12/11 - $5,668.02

• Current Balance - $6031.08 I messed up.  I "prepaid" the credit card knowing something was going to be charged on it, so that's why it is more.  Oops. And the interest was tacked on.  Holy crap.  I think I might try to find an interest free for a year card to put it on.  That's ridiculous.

     *If you follow Dave Ramsey, he says no matter what to pay down your next lowest balance.  This is not our next lowest balance, but it's our highest interest rate one.  Now that we've paid off so many loans in the last 2 years, we believe this is a better route to go, where as our other loans have such a small interest rate on them, this is by far the worst "loan" we have.  So...Ready...Set...GO!

Financially Fit Friday

We will be headed to Indiana on Sunday.  I hope our new debit card comes before then, I don't want to travel with that much cash lol

Indiana Fund - Stocked

Deposited $30 of my fun money into Colorado Fund

We have a lot of extra money left over from my tips and our paychecks, but since we are heading out to Indiana, we are keeping that in the account right now until we get our next paychecks just to make sure we have everything covered - we don't receive vacation pay at all.  But I can't wait to start knocking down the balance! 

Credit Card Current Balance - $5,617.67 - was 5668.02 on April 12th
