Hey Thriftanistas!

How was your weekend?  I had an action packed weekend but I must say I was very productive!  I kicked my weekend off with a well needed pamper day at The Salon Professional Academy.  When I was in college I religiously went to beauty schools because that’s all I could afford.  However, as my coins increased I completely counted them out…until Groupon offered an amazing deal.  Groupon is currently offering three manicures and pedicures for $33.  That’s about $11 for a mani/pedi combined…#winning.  Come inside to check out my review and a few tips when dealing with a beauty school.

A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.  -Coco Chanel

Hey Thriftanistas!

A few weeks ago, I decided to cut off all my hair.  And it felt good.  Honestly, it felt great.  For twenty years, I have experimented with so many styles (most that included weaves).  From poetic justice braids to waterfalls (you remember those?) you name it I’ve tried it.  I never knew how a few course strands (4c hair here) could inhibit so much that I was unaware of.  For me, this haircut was like starting over on this thing we call “life.”
