Tip Tuesday: Retail Me Not

Retail Me Not is a great app to have on your phone. If you are out shopping or surfing the internet deals, check this app for extra coupons from stores you love. They have stores like Bath and Body Works, Kohl's, Forever 21 and much more. Scroll through the coupons or search for the store you are purchasing from at the moment. They have online or in-store coupons depending on what the deal is.

I hope this Tip Tuesday has been helpful. Stay tuned for some new content coming your way in the upcoming weeks from my blog, Facebook page and Yes...my Youtube channel...Finally! lol :) Have a great night everyone!

Tip Tuesday: Organizing Tip For Your Linen Closet

How many times have you gone to your linen closet to get a clean sheet set and have to dig around for the matching fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillow cases? Well, I have a quick and easy solution on how to keep it all together.

Fold your sheets and place them inside of the pillowcase. You will find that they stack neatly on the shelf and everything is in one place. If you have more than one pillow on your bed, be sure to include the extra pillowcase inside as well. You can sort them by the bed size so that way you know which set goes to a particular bed.

A real easy Tip Tuesday this week. I hope you enjoyed it and be sure to come back soon! Have a great night everyone!

First Impression: The Taste: Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC

I'm so excited because this is my first, First Impression that isn't a beauty or household product, but an actual television show! Once again, I need to thank Influenster for introducing me to something new. As many of you know, I am a full time Mommy and also go to college so I don't get much television time in. However, after watching the previous episodes on abc.com I will be taking the time to watch the rest of the season.

I love cooking competitions and this one does not disappoint. I get caught up in the Gordon Ramsey shows, but this is great twist on the traditional competition shows. "The Taste" is based on many different cooks ranging from Executive Chefs to home cooks who love food. What makes "The Taste" different is that the judges (Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Brian Melarkey), who are all professionals base their decisions on one spoonful taste of each participants dish. This makes it especially different because they can potentially vote off a member of their own team.

The judges are entertaining and poke fun at each other. Ludo (bless his heart) has a French accent that I can't understand when he gets upset, but I can't stop listening to that beautiful accent at the same time. If you decide to watch, Melarkey likes to get on Ludo's nerves...and it works! lol Feel like this may be something you would like to join in on? You can catch all new episodes every Tuesday 8/7c on ABC. This week's episode (tomorrow) is about a household staple...the almighty sandwich. If you would like to watch the previous episode you can do so by clicking this link: http://abc.tv/Z3jimp

I hope you enjoyed my First Impression review of "The Taste" and don't forget to come back tomorrow for an all new Tip Tuesday which I post every week right here on mayday1101. Have a great day everyone!

I Support The 2nd Amendment

Love me or hate me for it, but I must remain true to who I am. With that, I would like to state that I support the 2nd Amendment; my right to bear arms. In light of recent tragedies, everyone seems to be pointing the finger at the weapon and not the men commiting the crimes. While I don't see a need in my life to own a machine gun and have a bullet belt strapped across my chest, I do own a gun for hunting purposes and plan on passing it down to my oldest son when he is old enough to head out to the woods and hunt as well.

While I am of sound mind and would not intentionally injure someone, I would have no problem using a gun or any other weapon for that matter to protect myself and my family. For my fellow Mom's out there, I'm sure you know what I mean when I say the Mama Bear comes out and you have no fear to go the limits to protect your children. Even if it involves shooting to kill an intruder. This is not my normal Tip Tuesday, product review or fashion blog posts, but after coming across this tshirt on Amazon, I decided to let you all know a different side to me outside of the girly topics you are all so use to. I would love to hear your thoughts on the 2nd Amendment. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Whether you agree or disagree is your right and I respect your decisions so please do the same by keeping any comments mature in demeanor. More girly things to come soon so don't you worry my fellow beauty/fashion friends. Now who else would rock this shirt? I know I would. I think it makes a great gift for others who feel the same way. Hmm...I just might do that. :)                                                 

If you are new to my blog, please be sure to check out my new Facebook page Mayday1101 to stay up-to-date on my weekly Tip Tuesdays, other fun posts and upcoming giveways. Have a great day everyone!

Tip Tuesday: Get Creative With a Valentine's Day Present For Him

Need help with a last minute gift idea for your man?

I can help you with that. Most men aren't that picky when it comes to getting a present on Valentine's Day so a little effort usually goes a long way. Men are usually the ones that are worrying about finding the perfect gift for you!

I like to call it the RE-UP box. Simply buy things he uses everyday that he would definitely repurchase. Buy items like his favorite deodorant, cologne, styling products and even razors. If he buys the regular cheap razors, give him a treat and buy him a nice one. Package them up in a cute decorative box and some tissue paper and you are good to go!

This is a perfect idea for your husband and even safe for the couple that just got into a relationship not to long ago and are celebrating their first Valentine's Day. I hope this Tip Tuesday has been helpful and I'll be back soon with some DIY tutorials. Yay!
