Fall Trends: Satins and Berries

I'm telling you ladies, the two trends you won't be able to get enough of for the fall will be berries and satin. Coming in every shade from magenta to blackberry, berry shades will be everywhere. You will also see satin used for shirts and dresses.

Tips for Shopping at Target

Tar-jay, oh how I love thee!

Like many of you, I frequent Target for everything from my everyday needs to cute, fun accessories. However, it can get overwhelming since it is so big. Also, many people don't know about the hidden gems. Here are some tips:

1) Aisle Ends - I have found that Target often puts special packages and deals at the ends of the aisles. Recently, I noticed regular packages of Biore strips where they normally were, but they also had packages with a free moisturizers for the same price at the end of another aisle. I have also found Listerine two for one combos and hand soap at the end of the aisles.

2) Special Sections - Many Targets have special aisles dedicated to everything from bulk items to promotional items and packages. For instance, I use Olay Shea Butter body wash. Normally the 23.9 oz bottle is about $9. However, they did a combo special with both a 23.9 oz bottle and a smaller 10 oz bottle for just $5.99! These aisles are sometimes difficult to find, so ask someone who works there to be sure.

3) Target.com - I do enjoy the convenience of getting items from the store. However, Target has many great items that are exclusively found online. Check out target.com from time to time to check out what's new!

Relax with soothing eye pillow

Need to relax? This Soothing Eye Pillow from Red Envelope may be the perfect solution. Packed with lavender, organic flaxseed and chamomile petals, this should calm you down from a long, stressful day. And since it's only $15.99 (was $32), at least you won't be stressing about the price.

Though I'm not sure if this is one you can heat up in the microwave (I've seen those too), it can be put in the freezer if you need to "chill out."
