Born to Shop

As far as I can remember, I have been fascinated by stores, shopping, and everything that has to do with fashion and beauty.  I remember the long days of shopping with my mom, we would have breakfast and dinner at the mall, and I loved it.  I remember seeing my mom taking money out of this "magical" machine and thinking, "someday I will grow up and take out enough money to buy the entire mall."  I always wondered why my mom never thought of that idea!
In high school, there was a lot of experimentation, and $200 would only buy a pair of jeans and two shirts, three if I was lucky.  Today, with all those years of experience I learned many things along the way, one of them being to shop smart, $200 now buys about 5 to 6 outfits, which is perfect for a girl who shops as much as I do.  I have learned the arrangement of my favorite stores-I can scan through a store in about 30 minutes and spot all the "hidden" treasures.  All this comes with enough practice of course, but I will try to share all of my secrets with you, so you too can be a bargain shopper and still look fabulous.  There are of course some things that unfortunately you have to splurge on, which I will share with you later on.
In this blog I will share all the things I have learned throughout the years, my favorite products, stores, beauty secrets, makeup tricks and answer any questions you might have.  After all those years, today, all grown up, I now know that magical machine is called an ATM and I know that unfortunately, it is not magical, but I still have the same dream of someday taking out enough money and buy an entire mall, and little by little I am getting there!
