THRIFTY THURSDAY: Sheets

Before I rave about my fab find, I'm going to throw it out there that I've yet to fully embrace the "go green" trend. We do recycle but I don't exclusively buy organic and shame on us - we use paper plates. I apologize if that offends anyone. To each their own - right??

Moving on - I don't know about you but I find it extremely annoying that sheets are so expensive. Sure we snuggle up to them every night but c'mon. An excellent place to buy name brand sheets for 1/2 the price are places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Ross...IF...you have the time (and patience) to pick through unorganized shelves. Me - not so much. Especially after kids.
So before hitting up the name brand department stores, I first checked my faithful friend - Target. I was on a mission to find a dark grey sheet and didn't have my hopes set very high. Once again, Target proved me wrong. There sat the perfect gun-metal grey sheet set for only $39.99. And yes, I said SET. A fitted 100% Organic Cotton, pesticide free Queen sheet, flat sheet and two pillow cases. Pretty amazing deal considering there is usually a price you pay for anything that fits in the "eco-friendly" category.

Case in point - an almost identical Organic sheet by DKNY. Their price: $49.99 for fitted sheet, $49.99 for flat sheet, and $59.99 for a set of 2 pillowcases. Seriously. $160.00? No thanks especially when nobody even knows (or cares) that your sheets are Donna Karen. I'll stick with my ever-so-soft, affordable, fabulous find of Target 'Home' Organic sheets. And feel good that I'm doing a very small part in helping the environment every night that I crawl into bed. I highly recommend them!!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
