$5 Bill Savings! As seen on Pinterest!

Well, Love time no see bloggers! 

It's been awhile I know but I'm still getting use to trying to keep up with the blogging. But as everyone knows the holiday season keeps us busy. But I'm going to do a sort blog about saving money. I saw on Pinterest awhile ago on how a lady put away EVERY $5 bill she had for two years and saved an enormous amount of money. So I decided I'm going to do this. Not only am I doing the $5 bill thing, I'm also going to check my purse at the end of each week and just put the silver change in this jar too and the penny's in something else. Because I cant stress enough how much I hate change in my purse! THERE'S SO MUCH!! AHHH! haha.

Now I believe this is going to be very successful since I am a server at a restaurant.

This is my little jar with the first two $5 bills I've thrown in there and all the change I've had in the bottom of my purse and in my room. 

A little bonus to this post: The Jar, I also was inspired by Pinterest. I absolutely love mustaches and saw they had a jar that said "My Stache". && how perfect to use these two together! :) All I did was went to The Good Will and bought a jar and then at Michael's a pen specially for writing or drawing on glass.

Well, there we have it! Thanks for stopping by && have a wonderful weekend!!

PS: Stay tuned in the next couple days... I'm making my very own Ugly Christmas Sweater for a party this weekend and I'm going to post how to make it! :)

Christmas Present Finds!

Okay! So it's been a few days since I've posted anything on either of my blogs but I figured I make something short and sweet tonight before I go to bed. After work tonight I stopped at TJ Maxx's to see if I could find and cool Christmas gifts for my other sister Jazmin. She has also been wanting to find decorations for her room. She is going to a African themed bedroom... so these are the thing I found!! :)

Gotta love TJ for all the cool finds you can get! Both of these items were made in Kenya and the mask was only $12.99 and the Vase was about $7.99.

Well those are my two great finds for the night and I will be trying to post more on here. As for my Art blog, I will be posting as I make more art projects. I have one in mind and will be starting it soon. So hopefully in the next week or so I'll have a new post on there!

Thanks so much for reading and stopping by. Have a fantastic rest of your Monday night!! :D

Pinterest inspired shopping with a little early Christmas shopping.

So today I woke up this morning to find snow on the ground!! Literally 2 days ago it was beautiful out and 70 degrees. Now snow... That what you get for living in the state known for it's bipolar whether. 

So any-who I knew I wanted to go up to the mall today to get a couple different things to get ready for the cold whether now and got to the mall and realized I had a TON of coupons for different stores and some stores are having great deals right now so I started my Christmas shopping a little early this year. So I wanted to share with you all that I got today! 

Even Tia is ready for Christmas cuddled up with her Santa. :))

All set and ready with my coupons and at the mall they are starting to put up their Christmas decorations!!! EEE! Ends up looking like I got a ton but saved a ton of money.

Okay! So the first two shirts are from Charlotte Russe which are the tan cardigan and the white sweater.

 Next Store was Nordstroms and I got the black infinity scarf, the pink t-shirt and the long chain necklace.

3rd store was Forever 21, I got the sheer black top and the pearl necklace.

Next is Victoria Secret which I had 3 free pantie coupons with no purchase to use and ended today, but while I was standing in line I saw mascara and Im running out so I figured I'd pick that up.

Last but not least, I went to my favorite store Nordstroms Rack because I had a $20 credit to use so I got some Joe's jeans and only ended up being $39 compared to original price of $138.

Okay, now its time for a couple things I got to start my Christmas shopping. Im only doing a little now cause I want to save some for the black friday deals but these little things I couldn't resist and I had coupons!!! :)

The Paris canvas I got a TJ Maxs and its for my little sister because she LOVES Paris and her plan is to have a Paris themed room so I figured I can get her a bunch of stuff Paris related.

Now on to the things I got at Bath & Body Works. Now being I worked at a Bath & Body Works during seasonal while I was in school I know how the coupons work and MAN do they have steals!! So basically all I paid for today were the socks and pillow mist. The little mini candle was free with a coupon plus I had a $10 off coupon which basically gave me the two small candles for free.

  

Okay so this is part of what I got at the store and from my inspiration from pinterest.

The skirt and heels I already had and needed new tights anyways.

Infinity scarf: Nordstroms BP. Sweater: Charlotte Russe. Tights: Target. Heels: ZigiSoHo.

The skirt I got awhile ago and cant remember where I got it.

So this outfit I found on pinterest and fell inlove with it and it turns out I already had the same shirt she did and a white watch, jeans and boots. All I bought was the pearl necklace and vest.

Vest: Old Navy. Blue Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger (TJ Maxs). Watch: Gordmans. Necklace: Forever21. Jeans: Express. Boots: Enzo Angiolini.

Credit for this look goes to Future Southern Belle.

Well this turned out to be a very long post. Very sorry but I hoped you'll enjoy it!! 

Much love, JoyLeigh

Fall Wedding Outfit.

What to Wear to a Fall Wedding?

So I know I JUST posted my first blog post just like an hour ago but then I remembered that last weekend I had went to an old high school friend's wedding last weekend! I had alot of wedding's in the Summer and in the past had only been to Summer weddings so I had no clue what to wear to a fall wedding. Soooo.. I thought I'd share what I put together! I'm very pleased with what I choose to wear. :)

This is the full look all put together!

I got the dress and jewelry from Francesca's and the Jacket awhile ago from TJ or Marshall's. The Brand of the Jacket is Vertigo Paris.

I don't have many picture's from the wedding of me without the Jacket to show you what the dress looks like on its own. 

Hope you liked this look && Happy Sunday.. Or whats left of it!! :))

1st Bloggie!

My First Bloggie!! 

Hello! My name is Joy. I've decided to write a blog of all my hobbies and passions. So this being my first post it's probably going to be short and sweet and telling you a little bit about myself. I am currently a student in the EMS program and someday would love to become a paramedic and maybe even a flight medic. But besides preparing for my future big girl job I'm passionate about so many different things I cant even count. A few of those many things would probably be my art, including pottery, drawing, and recently painting. I guess you can probably fit crafts into the art category as well. I love doing all sorts of crafts and things around the house. My recent huge project around the house would be decorating my room.. But ohhh do I just love it! Keeps me busy. && last of all, another passion for fashion! Who doesn't love fashion?! I could spend hours on pinterest just looking at all the pretty things and then after Bargain hunting for similar outfits. 

So why I made this blog? To share with however may be interested in the DIY's and see what I have to offer! :))

Well this will have to be it for my first blog and looking forward to posting more! 

Buh-Bye for now!!
