About Me

I am now a Stay at Home Grandma who enjoys cooking, baking and dining. I'm a retired long haul semi truck driver and a licensed Cosmetologist that once owned my own salon.

How I Can Help

My passion is for eclectic and quirky fashion, bargain shopping and finding a great deal. I love skin care, makeup and anything that enhances our outer beauty! At 55, I would say my life is my experience and I have lived it!

Interests

I love creating my own fashion style, shopping vintage for that something to make me unique.

Have been searching for awhile for a backpack for a kindergartner. I just can't see paying the prices they are asking and we struggle anyway raising our grandchildren. So off I went to the Goodwill. If any of
you have girls, you know LOL Dolls. I found an LOL backpack that just needs the tie ends burned as they are slightly frayed. It was $3.99. My granddaughter is ecstatic. Her big sister is green with envy. Grandma did good.
I really love this Goodwill and come here often for knickknacks and decor. They have great name brands if you know what to look for, and I can always find darling children's clothes. The girls aren't at the age yet where they realize I'm buying second hand clothes so they don't complain. They keep their prices fair and they don't have items that make you question why they allowed it to be kept. I have found some really unique items and great things to decorate with. I'm definitely glad they are part of our community!

Tip for consumers:
Check zippers on items. Sometimes they don't work or are broken.

After a frustrating day searching for cute shoes for the Barefoot Princesses, and running out of options, I remembered seeing and hearing about this store, Once Upon A Child. Well, I am literally the Queen of second hand, so I thought, "Heck yeah! Let's check 'em out!" I wasn't disappointed. They have sized bins separated for girls and boys and lots of cute shoes and boots and, low and behold... sandals! Since the girls are still rockin' the summer dresses and starting school in just over two weeks and much too adorable to be living in tennies all the time, I mean, c'mon! I picked up about 7 pairs of shoes for just over $50 and they do allow returns with tags and a receipt. This is good since my youngest grandchild grew two shoe sizes over the summer. Yikes! I probably would have gotten two pair for that price at Target. I was super happy and so we're the girls! I'll return about 4 pair tomorrow for bigger sizes and our school shopping is done! We definitely found a hidden gem! And all we got was shoes! Believe me, we will be back for more!
Before I forget... the gals that work there? Super friendly helpful and upbeat! Exactly what you want in a kid's store. And a bunch of them. Great energy, not the single employee, overworked, stressed out behind the counter, alone. Just an all around good environment.

Tip for consumers:
Park in the toy store parking lot and walk over

I haven't been here in awhile, but today while running around grabbing last minute school supplies for the Barefoot Princesses, I decided to drive through and grab a quick bite. I wasn't disappointed! I forgot how amazing their food is at 9 beans... delish! And don't forget, they make their own tortillas. Great, authentic Mexican food that is quick and delicious? I say yes! I recommend the bean, cheese, chicken and rice burrito. It won't disappoint.

I cannot decide which look I prefer as this young woman is gorgeous! Her casual look is just as amazing as her dressed up look. Someone needs to sign her as a model. She is stunning either way. Video credit goes to Alex Stemplewski on Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook. Please click on URL for video.

Tip for consumers:
The only additional comment I have is based on Alex himself as an Influencer. He is out there changing lives, face to face, living his dream. He is an artist with a camera and it shows. I would like to not only support his business by spreading his name to you, the public, but looking at these beautiful images and persons that he is giving the opportunity to shine, like the one in the video. What have I gained? Absolutely nothing but seeing what someone else saw through the lense of his camera.

We dropped in to Garibaldi's in Jerome with a large group not realizing they aren't as big as the Twin location. No worries! The food was just as great and our waitress was Wonder Woman! Not only did she rock all of our drink orders, but our food as well with no mistakes and a smile on her face! I always love the food at the Twin location, so it's good to know that Jerome is the same quality and the staff is just as exceptional! Thank you Garibaldi's for another great location!

We took the grandkids fishing over the weekend at Filer Ponds where they had just stocked hundreds of 5+ lb trout. Much to our sorrow, we didn't catch any fish, but everyone around us did. It was an extremely busy day. I highly recommend bringing your Littles here. It's easily accessible, there's a Porta potty and this is the first time we didn't catch anything. Pack a lunch and enjoy the day!

We recently attended a wedding at the turf Turf Club in Twin Falls for a last minute wedding. I have to say that it wad a great venue for short notice! The wait staff was exceptional, and definitely had everything very well put together. Although the establishment us a bit dated, it worked well for a wedding and reception venue. Kudos to you Turf Club!

Tip for consumers:
We were guests here. I would suggest to have a place for the wedding party before hard. The children weren't being supervised and probably should have stayed with the bride prior to the wedding

What a fantastic concept! You can try new fragrances without the commitment of a full size bottle.
The truth is, something may smell amazing on someone else, but just not work with our own body chemistry. So Scentbird took the guess work out and gives us the option of using fragrance before buying the bottle. I have had the pleasure of trying some amazing perfumes I would never have worn. And love them!
This program is so easy to use and for a small fee you can experiment to your hearts content, try fabulous scents and purchase a full size when you find what works best for you.
I just love Scentbird. It may not work for everyone, but it certainly works for me!
