Caution Buyer Beware's: When Not to be FRUGAL



 Let's take a Break from Holiday Planning!

However, there are times when, we should not be FRUGAL! Especially getting ready for the holidays, you want to look and feel your best, but that's when budgeting comes to mind!

Health- You should never go bargain hunting for a doctor or dentist or anyone related to the medical field. Your annual exams both men and women should be done by a physician who hasn't had any malpractice infractions against them. You can find that out by contacting your state's medical board.

Cosmetic Treatments: Certain cosmetics treatments such as Botox and Restleyne, need to be done by a board certified dermatologist, not by a spa personnel, there could be serious side effects if these treatments are done by the proper medical personnel.

 Legal: Make certain especially if you are starting a business or writing, that you seek proper legal counsel, especially when in comes to trademark law and setting up a corporate entity the right way.
1.       Make-Up and Beauty Items- if you find a particular brand that works well with your skin, and skin tone in terms of make-up stick with it!  I am an M-A-C loyalist because their products work the best for my skin tones. I am also a Khiel’s loyalist as well, products are wonderful!

2.       Hair Styling and Waxing- I am loyalist when, it comes to hair care as well, if you find someone who understands and can properly do your hair then stick with them. I go to Maria at the brow king – Damone Roberts, once again she understands, the shape of my brow and frames them accordingly.

3.       Handbags- I use my handbags, to put important documents, journals, computers, etc. and I remember when I thought I could cut a corner on this one and buy a $20.00 bag, when I was going to meeting and the straps broke, so here I was on 45th and Madison, literally carrying around my stuff in a H&M bag, gave it to me for free, until I got to my appointment. I buy quality from the designer themselves! Love Tory Burch and Coach bags! - BUYER BEWARE!! ALWAYS BUY FROM THE DESIGNERS DIRECTLY- COUNTERFEITS ARE A BIG NO’NO!

4.       Food Items- I don’t eat a lot of things, so I make certain that I get my fresh Wild Alaskan Salmon from a quality fish monger, and when I do buy chicken they must be hormone and pesticide free, so I do splurge on that!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and description, just

Men's Grooming : Luxury

NYFW Men is literally right in three weeks,  so how does a male model keep his hair camera ready? We did some research on the best products that would keep a man 's hair camera ready. Julien Farel Salon This salon has the best anti aging haircare products for men. They also do all of the models for the Nick Graham Show. Those models are the best! Martial Vivot We came across this salon on the side of MOMA in June for the annual French Wink   Father's Day Event. This salon has the best hair care products in terms of being all natural. The manager explained to me  mass market products are okay, but as a man ages the harshness of the products causes premature hair loss. Wow! Who knew... They also sell their products at Barney 's, in addition to the salon. John Allen Salons They have the coolest vibe in Saks,  in terms of high profile salon. To get that ultimate surfer look the pomade is amazing with out being heavy or greasy. For luxury hair care service and products,
